DAYS: October 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

It's funny, I don't find myself missing Nicole.  As much I felt that the actress was treated was unjustly, Nicole was never my favorite character.  However, it feels like Holly forgiving Nicole is a bad move story-wise.  It is one thing to forgive Eric, and gain some insight into how she was transferring her anger on to Brady (although that is remarkable insight for a teen). But now that her estrangement from Nicole has ended, they will forever be burdened with having to explain her absence. 

For example, why won't Nicole be there for Holly's graduation?  De Gaulle airport is closed due to weather.  Why won't Nicole be at Holly's wedding?  Tate got sick and needed her. etc, etc...

Also, as I noted in the spoiler discussion, I hate it when production relies on hair and makeup to indicate a character change.  It is as if they think we are too dumb to recognize that this is now Kat and not F-Abby.  Meanwhile, the gal was kept locked in an apartment for months and still seemed to blow dry her hair straight.

-- I don't trust that this show considered when to add this Drake tribute. I don't believe they gave any thought to that at all. I think the tribute was ready, so they added it.

-- Unpopular opinion here, I know, but I've enjoyed JPL on his return. It's all over-the-top, but it seems intentional to me, and it works. It's hard to look away, I know that.

-- Javi might be a cliche so far, but the actor is pretty good.

I am going to give the show the benefit of the doubt.  It was a picture and a caption.  That probably took someone 10 mins, which is why I thought it was shocking it wasn't shown the Monday after he passed.  I am going to consider it intentional due to the fact John was mentioned numerous times today.

I really enjoyed the Maggie/Holly scenes, and that they’re continuing to build the relationship between the two of them. Maggie is, sort of, the steady hand that Holly needs in her life right now. And I like the advice that Maggie gave her about Tate.

Speaking of Tate, his storyline was also going really well today. And I still don’t mind him being dumb, because it actually makes sense to me. He’s a teenage boy; he’s supposed to be dumb and horny

As for Chad and Cat, they deserve better than this. And seriously, if Shane was able to reach out to the prison in order to have Clyde be scrutinized more, can’t he just have him killed, or suicided?

Btw, are they really gonna go there with Brady/Ava?

Despite the ickiness of Ava having once been involved with John, I don't mind Brady/Ava.  TB/EM have nice chemistry.  It's better than Brady/Kristen round 1000 or whatever was happening between Ava/Roman lol.  Strange Ava isn't the least bit concerned about Stefan or wondering where he is.

I like Sofia/Tate.  They seem to be moving way too fast, but at the same time they've had more real conversations than Holly/Tate ever did before they decided they were in love after 1 date.  Besides, Sofia seems to come with way less drama and baggage at this point so I can see Tate just going for it.  He's 17.

I didn't love the Chad/Cat scenes.  I am over this story.

I agree: Eric Martsolf & Tamara Braun have some great chemistry... makes me wonder if he'd spark with Laura Wright.

 But, Jennifer Bransford would be first in line, right? But, I do appreciate them trying to put someone into Brady's orbit again that isn't the usual two suspects (Chloe/Nicole).

Sometimes things happen on DAYS and I don't question it, like why Kat has such an extensive wardrobe.

But, today, when the warden called Steve to say that Clyde escaped, it took me right out of the episode.  It could've been written that Steve got a news alert on his phone.  Or the radio in the pub could've been interrupted by the news. 

But, of all the people in Salem, why would the warden of a maximum security prison call Steve Johnson to say that Clyde escaped?  Steve and his family are in no immediate danger, he has no information about Clyde's whereabouts, and an escaped convict shouldn't be kept secret.  So, it makes no sense.

And, at some point, shouldn't the citizens of Salem begin to question why there is a prison escape almost every year right before Halloween?

    • 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
