DAYS: November 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

Listen, I am not even picky.  Just say they live anywhere, show an exterior shot, and have them film scenes in John/Marlena's living room or the pub.   It's becoming weird that Brady is perfectly content with his bedroom at his parents house for years on end.  Tate has a bedroom set just tell me he's sexing up Sophia in a different space and I'll believe it.

And, also Kristen comes over looking for Brady & then she sits down & begins to be obnoxious. 

[carolineg]

The Kristen factor alone should make John/Marlena ask Brady to leave.  There is no reason Kristen should be able to pop in when she feels like it especially after harassing John/Marlena for years.  Rachel can come by, but Kristen shouldn't be allowed at all.

Luckily, John/Marlena don't appear to care about Kristen in any way lol. 

[Contessa Donatella]

In a way it's actually kind of fun when they, rarely, let Marlena snark on Kristen. 

[Antoyne]

 John and Marlena could give two shits about Kristen now, it’s actually funny.

[carolineg]

On one hand I want the Kristen/Marlena rivalry played up, but Marlena won that war years ago.  She should hate Kristen, but her indifference to her is hilarious.

Just giving everybody an added incentive to watch

Can't say I haven't been pleased with all the whoring out of RSW lately, especially today. 

That shirt Brady has been wearing is very unflattering for Eric Martsolf, unfortunately.

And I hate to be a bitch, but I really can't stand Linsey Godfrey as an actress. I don't know what the word is, but she just seems like the most obnoxious white woman ever. Plus, the horrible poodle hair and weird eyebrows.

When it comes to Philip being written as joke, I do like him being a sarcastic ass, but JPL is definitely part of the problem. Those bizarre reactions are all him. Same with the amount of strange noises Jackée Harry makes with every line. 

Bring on next week! I pray it's going to be well done.

So, I really liked Philip and Stephanie back in the day. However, their last interaction was off camera when Stephanie dropped the bomb that Parker wasn't his kid. I want to see that fallout. I wonder if the writers even remember or know.

I also liked Phillip/Stephanie back in the day.  And hilariously, Stephanie's hair looks almost identical to Shelly Hennig's hair at the time so that was a strange comment.

I actually find JPL to have a lot of charm and charisma, but, man, he is so wrong for Phillip.  It's crazy.

@Bright Eyesas an obnoxious white woman myself I find LG annoying af.  It's not just you.  She's just so unlikeable.  She has these strange acting tics where she's trying to be cute or spunky or something, but it's so irritating.

[AbcNbc247]

I get it lol 

For me, it’s the way she delivers her lines. Idk if it’s a quirk or something but she just sounds so nasty and snobby sometimes. And I thought she did today too.

But I also think she’s gotten better over time. When Xander and Sarah first got together, the way she would speak to him sometimes, you practically hear the contempt and condescension in her voice. Like she was talking down to him. 

But now, it seems like she actually does love him

I certainly felt that today.  In the past, I feel like we were told that they were passionately in love, but they played their scenes like roommates.  However, in this episode, Xander was really selling it for me when he embraced Sarah's legs.  And unlike when Abe and Paulina were magically healed and then just walked out of the hospital, the music, Maggie, and dialogue moved me. 

[DaytimeFan]

I watch intermittently - can anyone tell me if Louise Sorel’s last scenes were in the hospital? 

[AbcNbc247]

Not much happened today.

I understand why Alex chose not to spill the beans to Chanel and I don’t mind it, but the way RSW played it kinda messes up the storyline. Alex really should be more of a serious type, especially after everything that’s happened with Theresa and Stephanie, instead of reverting back to a dope. He did seem a little more serious after Chanel left, but what it took to get there was annoying to watch. The damage had already been done. 

Paulina was annoying too, in her scenes with Jada and with Marlena. I was glad to see Jada shut her down. 

But I did like the Rafe/Javi scene, even though I still think they should’ve continued to have Javi be jealous of Rafe or have animosity towards him. It would be a much better storyline than whatever the hell’s going on with Leo. 

And yeah, wayyyy too much Leo today. There are much better ways to use Marlena/DH than with him. I don’t care about his self-sabotage crying and moaning and I never will. It’s still not gonna make fans like him or explain why he’s the worst person ever. I completely agree with Rafe that Javi dodged a bullet lol I just hope Javi gets to meet somebody before he inevitably goes back to Leo

Javi shutting the door in Leo’s face was the best part of today. He could’ve slammed it a little harder though
