DAYS: October 2024 Discussion Thread

[Liberty City]

Likely because Chicago is a bigger city in comparison to the town of Salem. Both are in Illinois, so....

Wow!  I feel like today's entire episode came out of nowhere.

Gabi and Rafe have an aunt who felt like Rafe was a son to her, but they've never mentioned her before or invited her to one of their many weddings?

Good to know that the Hernandez cousin could not be the assailant.

There was a sudden time shift in the episode that allowed Fiona to be freed and Phillip to fly to Salem, knowing about the sale of Titan stock. Do we assume that either Justin or Sarah told him?  Because it wasn't public knowledge.

Melinda doesn't need to worry about working for Kristen.  She's a multi-hyphenate, corporate/divorce/adoption/criminal lawyer.  You need any type of attorney, she's your gal (unless she's being tied to a bed).

I also assume that Stefan not having signed the divorce papers is now good news for Gabi…

This whole show just flippin' turns on a dime.  Which makes more much more sense as a metaphor than, 'like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives'.

This hasn't been good week for Days. It's been dropping and is now #8 for the week.

[ranger1rg]

DAYS has been pretty lousy for a good while. Body & Soul has made it worse, and my guess is that's impacted viewing. I can see people tuning out as soon as it's clear they're watching a B&S episode.

[brisbydog]

I am not surprised. Most people only watched Monday and Friday. B&S is killing the show

[j swift]

Either way, it would be a shame if people missed today because it was a key episode.

[AbcNbc247]

More and more I’ve been thinking that we’re seeing, firsthand, why Ron was fired.

[carolineg]

Yeah, I would agree quite a few things happened today, but they will probably replay all the last scenes on Monday anyhow.

[ranger1rg]

Why is Rafe's place decorated like it's the set of a garage sale or shelves at Burlington that haven't been straightened for months?

[Soapsuds]

It could be worse and be decorated like Big Lots.

What's Joy's history?

[Liberty City]

❝ Joy was the second child of Nancy and Craig Wesley, conceived with the hope that she could be a potential bone marrow donor for her older sister, Chloe, who had leukemia. Joy was a match and Chloe was saved. ❞

⏤ Soap Central

Boatman needs to drop the habit/cliché of clearing his throat before every line.

Thank you! They did the same story on All My Children. The thing is, they made no mention of her during the last Nancy/Craig/Chloe s/l, so for a newer viewer like me, she feels like a retcon.

[Liberty City]

Joy is essentially a non-entity. Last time Joy was really involved in-story was briefly in 2005 when Aisling Acuna was in the role. Otherwise, Joy hasn't truly existed in-universe for a long-ass time.

[AbcNbc247]

It was actually a really good storyline. Which made ruining Craig/Nancy even more pointless and unnecessary than it already was.
