DAYS: November 2024 Discussion Thread

[j swift]

@AbcNbc247  Do you think we haven't met Sophia's parents on purpose?  Like, maybe, she's related to a villain?  They've only mentioned her mother.  But, (while I may be doing my classic overthinking), who's the Daddy?

[Antoyne]

When GR was on contract, you would never know what a monster Kevin was at one point.  much like Leo all characters just got over it. Unlike Leo, Kevin actually would be sanctimonious at times which was eye roll inducing. And there was a period where he and his family ate the show. 

As someone mentioned earlier, I didn’t mind a gay villain. But Leo still being around, having more friends than a lot of characters, on his third love interest, and a successful job while never atoning for any of his behavior? That’s bull. And even when we’re supposed to feel for Leo, GR doesn’t make me feel a thing. 

Nina was essentially Phyllis in a new town.

I think you've pretty much explained how I feel about Leo. Could another actor do any better with that writing? I don't know, but I do know that I don't like what GR does with it.

I don't sense any depth in anything he does, in any relationship. It's all surface, and I never get the feeling that Leo really cares about anyone or anything. Someone this shallow all the time doesn't work as a major character on a soap.

[Antoyne]

Literally the way he says every single line should be followed by a laugh track.

[ranger1rg]

Yep. The character has no soul. It's like bad acting on an old Nick-at-Nite comedy series.

[janea4old]

That's almost an insult to Sami.

I haven’t thought that but it would be nice to see them be cast. It would give us a better understanding as to why Sophia is the way that she is. 

Maybe this handsome man could be cast as her father

If Greg is 0-2 when it comes to soap roles, then Days should just cut him lol Ron’s gone. We don’t need Leo anymore

The show has dropped to #10. I haven't watched since Monday. It hasn't been a good week for days.

I guess we were supposed to have sympathy for Kristen today, but I don’t. And her raging at Brady after everything she’s done made me laugh.

She acts like she owns him. It was good for a while but now it’s just overplayed and tired. Like I said before, the orchid thing should have been the final nail in the coffin for Bristen. Hopefully, this’ll be the thing that finally wakes Kristen up and gets her over Brady for good. The character definitely needs a reset. Or she can finally just be sent packing.

Hell, why does she even want a year 50 old recovering addict that’s in love with love and still lives with his parents?

Philip and Stephanie’s reunion was nice, though I didn’t really see much chemistry between the two of them. But it was only their first scene, maybe that’ll change over time. Btw, wtf was that stupid ass sound that Philip made after Stephanie agreed to be his PR person? They really need to stop writing Philip like a big, campy joke because it’s not working. 

Johnny and Alex looked hot but Johnny’s lie to Chanel about his dream was stupid lol he should have just said he didn’t remember. But I’m finally liking the whole Chanel/Johnny/Joy/Alex situation. And now that Joy confessed everything to Alex, another dynamic is added to this storyline and I like that, even though I feel like Alex playing it like a dope today was the wrong choice too. Just like with Philip, playing, writing or directing some things like campy jokes ruins them. 

I still think it’s a big mistake for Alex to have been completely removed from the Kiriakis family storylines. He should be a part of the war between Philip and Xander over Titan, undermining one or both of them. And now that Philip and Stephanie are in each other orbits again, Xander and Brady have made peace and Sarah can walk again, all of these storylines could come together in one big mess that has huge effects across the canvas and for all these characters. 

It’s trending at #9 today.

Maybe Monday and Tuesday are responsible for the drop

[Soapsuds]

The only thing interesting is the Johnny hot comment. It means only one thing.

I actually think I'm skipping this episode too.

Next week looks so much better.

This right here would be the red alert, early warning sign, DANGER WILL ROBINSON thing for most people. Grown-ass man but still lives at home with his parents. What is that even about? I know it's not having enough sets & also that little thing, called the budget. Poor Brady. Ends up as if he's a man-child not a man.

[carolineg]

I don't know why the show doesn't give Tate/Brady Li's old apartment or something.  I assume the show still has that set.   I know John/Marlena love their kids and grandkids, but I personally would be annoyed if my 50 year son and teenage grandson were living with me indefinitely.  It's not like Brady doesn't have the money to move.  He's just being lazy lol.

[Liberty City]

That apartment set should be retired, lmao. If anything, put Brady back in the apartment he shared with Theresa for 2.5 seconds, which was essentially John & Marlena's apartment but re-dressed and a bit smaller. The set problems on this soap are DIRE! Beyond DIRE!

[carolineg]

Honestly, I don't even care if Brady/Tate have a set.  Just say they live somewhere else.  The two of them can still just chit chat in John/Marlena's living room for all I care.

[Liberty City]

Haha. Or put them in the Salem Inn. Everyone lives there.
