DAYS: October 2024 Discussion Thread

Way over the top campy fast talking stuttering weird facial expression mess of acting. JPL was dreadful.

I know it's day one of Javi but I was disappointed. He seems like a Latino version clone of Leo. There are parts of his background I love but the character vibe was a thumbs down for the first day.

Agreed, she was interesting. That’s why I wish she was still sticking around.

And I’m not a fan of these short contracts and storylines, mostly because they always end up missing the most important beat of the story in favor of something else. The same thing happened with Peter Porte.

If anything, Corday needs to stop with the short contracts, and whosever writing needs to not give the character years worth of story when they only have the actor for a few months.

Well, at least Cat is a better name than NotAbigail

As much as I dislike this storyline, I still think there’s some potential for Cat and Mark. I just hope they’re used effectively, especially now that Ron is gone. Btw, where was Cat going with that early 90s hair style today?

The Eric/Holly scenes were good, but I wish this storyline was continuing, even though I understand why it had to be cut short. But with the way that Holly is sometimes, you’d expect her to still be angry at Eric and everybody. Maybe it would have better if she had not completely forgiven Eric today and still had some animosity towards him but also told him that she was on track to understanding and forgiving him, but just needed more time.

But I’m still liking how Tate/Holly/Sophia is playing out and how Holly’s actions led to all this. Sophia was given more depth today and that’s always a good thing for a new character. She actually seemed sincere with Tate and not manipulative and I like that. I can appreciate Tate being a little stupid too. He’s young, he’s supposed to be stupid lol

The Marlena scenes were good too but I also found them a little sad, since they mostly revolved around John. I wonder why they chose to do this storyline without Drake. 

And, I’ll always love Chad/Julie scenes

Thanks for the warning.  This is why I read your recaps before I watch lol.  I find the scenes with Marlena talking about John super depressing.  I am not looking forward to months of hearing about what John's doing off screen.

I know the show did the same with Doug/Victor, but they weren't as focal as John and their deaths weren't so sudden and shocking.

I know.  I teared up for sure.  I also got teary when Marlena said something like John got very good news or a miracle today (I can't remember the wording) when talking to Eric.  It's difficult when you know the actor's knew about Drake's health. 

I think that's ALM's natural hair.  She's worn it curly like that in other things I have seen her in.

I liked today's episode overall.

I really like Sophia and root for her.  She got more depth today, but I hate how the show goes into racist cliches.  She had weird Asian food so kids made fun of her.  Her parents are strict.  All characters of Asian descent on this show seem to have similar upbringings.

I adore Chad and Julie. It is so organic, and makes so much sense.  It is the perfect use of both actors.  I like that it distances Chad from the other Dimeras.  I like that Chad respects her in a way that Hope and Jennifer never did (not that they were bad to her, but their relationships are more complicated).  I also like that Chad doesn't just dump his kids on her, they are really friends and confidants. 

The tribute to Drake was nice, but I was left wondering why it happened today?  It is not as if this episode was produced after his death.  And one imagines that they could've inserted a picture into any episode.  So, my response was mixed.

I hate when show spend too much time trying to make feel bad for new characters who did bad things. It has the opposite effect on me. I just want Cat and Mark and their so story does nothing for me. Half the episodes being about them was not necessary. 

Julie and Chad were lovely. But I can already tell that Chad will forgive Cat. So dumb.

John's absence was obvious today. It made me sad.

Going back yo yesterday, JPL was awful. So OTT.

I assume because this episode had a heavy focus on John?  It would be weird to insert a picture of Drake into an episode that featured Body & Soul.  I am not judging this tribute because this is obviously just a quick one announcing his passing to the audience and there will be many on screen ones to come.

    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
