DAYS: October 2024 Discussion Thread

I assume that is the next beat in the story. 

Causing a rapprochement for Xander and Brady, and pushing Brady away from Kristin.  Xander will learn his lesson, not to attack people with bats.  Sarah will walk.  And, avoiding the merger will be an impetus for Phillip's return.

That being said, Salem only needs one bad guy corporation.  Especially given that we still don't know what Dimera Industries does.  Brady could form a good guy company, and that would be a more logical rivalry.

Yeah, I would assume that's the next beat of the story too.  It's a lot easier than Xander giving up his entire company.

I don't like any of Days business stories.  They aren't interesting, make no sense, and I generally don't care who's running Titan or Dimera.  At ALL.   

With Kristen's past, who in their right mind would let her run a multi-million dollar company in the first place?  Her last job was a social worker in 1993.  Not to mention the fact she's committed 1000 crimes since then lol.

It's so absurd. The boards who make these constant demands of whoever's CEO at the moment aren't troubled by the fact that the CEO changes every three months? Kristen moaning that the board is losing faith in her is like... girl, you haven't even been CEO for an entire quarter, so whatever is showing up realistically could not reflect almost any decision you've made as CEO.

But don't forget! She got pardoned a few years ago, which means no one can even remember or mention any of her prior crimes.

Putting aside her crimes.  What are her qualifications?  She hasn't worked a real job in 30 years!  What's on her resume?  Ability to plot elaborate plans to harm others?  Master at avoiding any real punishment?  Surviving death multiple times?

At least EJ is slightly plausible as a CEO.  And, no, he's not plausible at all as the town's DA lol.  

I am not even going to bring Stefan into this because I don't know what he does besides sometimes own a restaurant.

Today was a good one. There was a lot more emotional depth in the writing, and I enjoyed that. I think it helps fans get a better understanding of why these characters are doing the things that they do. And I also think it’s just what we needed, after so much Body&Soul nonsense this week. 

I see Rafe’s house got a little renovation… and got the same paint job as Stephanie’s place

I actually liked the Rafe/Gabi bonding scenes today. Galen and Cherie Jimenez haven’t had that many scenes together like that yet and I was impressed by this one. They seemed to have good brother-sister chemistry.

I also enjoyed the Sarah/Xander scenes even though I’m really not liking all this stuff with Kristen. I think it’s finally time to send her packing. She’s played out.

I’m not really sure how Fiona is a free woman though lol 

And I like the way the ending was set up for next week, with Gabi. And with the Kiriakises too. 

I know. That’s why I didn’t put their names next to each other

Oh, you mean the time Kristen accidently sold herself into sex slavery?  Lol, it was such a disgusting way for the character to go out.  Everyone thought Kristen was dead (it was a 3rd Banks sibling), so Kristen decided to pretend to be Susan and tried to sell Susan into a harem.  It backfired and somehow Kristen ended up being sold off instead.

So offscreen Stefano eventually go Kristen out of said harem and she was just living in Europe off screen until she popped back up in Salem.  The harem/sex slave stuff was touched on and Kristen was mad at several people about it even though it was her own stupid fault.  Anyway, it was implied Kristen was abused both physically/sexually and was briefly a sex slave, but that whole plot point was glossed over to one or two conversations which is probably for the best.

My contrarian and optimist nature forces me to reply.

While Kristen doesn't have much management skill or experience, she is arguably the closest to Rolf who is the key to Dimera's future profitability.  So, her selection by the board is not completely illogical.

    • I love many things about BTG very much. For me, it's greatest strength is how the family relationships are so beautifully written. The deep love between family members while acknowledging each other's flaws--it's SO GOOD.  The best of the best is the two sister relationships: loving but very different sisters Dani and Nicole and adversarial sisters Kat and Eva. These two relationships can anchor the show for many years to come, in my opinion. (The one caveat is that the young and very talented Colby and Ambyr may want to leave the show sooner rather than later, but that's to be expected). My biggest problem with this show is this: Where are the romantic love stories? Where are the star-crossed lovers? Almost every character on this show is married, or in a committed relationship, or just fooling around. Right now the only potential for this are in the Ashley/Andre/Derek and Kat/Tomas/Eva situations. Like a lot of people, I feel the sooner they ditch Ashley and Derek, the better. I hate picking on actors, but the characters are so blah and bland it's like they're a parody of soap characters. I like Andre, and there's some indication they might have him become more serious about Dani, but I don't see that becoming a big love story. I could be wrong. Kat and Eva fighting over a man would be amazing. Over Tomas? No.  I've noticed on social media some people are starting to ship Kat and Jacob. I think that shows how much viewers long for a messy love story. There is much I enjoy about BTG and I have no intention of bailing on it. But over all my many years of watching soap operas, the thing that always got me the most excited about them was the question: "When are those two finally going to get together?"

        Some initial thoughts.   1) a Who's who back in the day with an assortment of well known performers. 2) Surprised Debra Messing would agree to play a conservative character 3) Not surprised a network didn't pick this up because showing a conservative that is human/likable is a no no in Hollywood LOL
    • Yes from when they went on Let’s Make a Deal too. Pam stole Forrester designs for Jackie M. Of course a month later we saw Nick, Lesley, Owen, and Bridget all exit in the same episode.
    • Great pairing that seemed to come out of the blue! Around that time, it felt like Sheffer/Goutman didn’t really know what to do with Emily or Hal. And KM and BH had surprisingly great chemistry. It was good for Emily especially because she was coming off those unsympathetic years with the Tom affair and then running the Intruder and essentially just being a busybody.
    • I think the issue with Lulu is less the character (which was the issue in the Julie Berman days under Guza II) and more the lack of nuance. The current GH team rarely writes nuance for any character or at least can't sustain it for long, or they reserve it for a favored few. I also think the rooting interest at GH BTS often remains on preferred characters or actors - BLQ/Setton - vs. Laura's kids. So it's easy to make Lulu the heavy if you think Brook Lynn and Chase are the money on this show. I don't, but I think FV does. And that's not to say I think Amanda Setton is bad in the role, or that I would get rid of BLQ. I don't trend towards either (though I do think that if Setton's personal beliefs keep getting in the way of material I would reluctantly recast). I think Brook Lynn is essential to use as a lead presently. But I don't think it needs to be the black and white dichotomy of suffering young matriarch BLQ and aggressor Lulu. While it's good that unlike in the Guza years they can recognize that Lulu can be obnoxious and rash, can be her own worst enemy and that that is part of the character, it can be toned down or given more layers than it has of late. There's nothing wrong there the writing can't fix.
    • 1999: I just watched it. It felt so primetime. La Lucci is making history. Aretha's daydreaming segment. @Contessa Donatella Thank you, my love. So helpful and informative as always. adding them to my queue.
    • I know this isn’t a usual or anywhere near universal take, but I loved the relatively brief Hal/Emily relationship/marriage more than I ever thought I would have with KMH/BH.
    • In my field (not that) I've written my share of dreck when it's what people wanted vs. something good. In the end what matters is the check. These pilots may not be great, but whether or not those writers intended otherwise they got paid.
