DAYS: November 2024 Discussion Thread

My biggest problem with Javi/Leo isn't actually Leo for once.  This "romance" was horribly paced and written.  Why should I care even if I liked Leo?  They have admittedly said on screen they've known one another for a few days.  They flirted a bit, shared some texts, had a few conversations, then woke up in bed together the next morning.  We didn't even see anything romantic, sexy, or even anything beyond basic attraction.  Putting my dislike of both characters aside, I have yet to see anything rootable about them.

At least Joy/Johnny made some sense.  The show was keeping it vague for a reason.  It makes no sense to not see Javi/Leo do much of anything romantic and immediately break them up.  

For a character Ron is so invested in, Leo really gets the most obnoxious material.  It does feel intentional sometimes.

Just got to Friday’s episode.

JPL is determined to make sure he’s absolutely nothing like any version of Phillip that has ever existed. I just can’t do this campy Phillip. 

Kristen is so manic all the time when it comes to Brady. I would love for them to bring someone on for her so she can chill the [!@#$%^&*] out.

The episode opening with Leo sashaying into Marlena's office annoyed me from the jump. It does waste Marlena, and none of it plays as authentic. Are we supposed to relate to or sympathize with Leo when he needs therapy? Therapy he hasn't even made an appointment for?

For me, there's not a more unlikable character on daytime.

It's all good

and I can see how my stream of consciousness post may have been perceived. My point is that I watch DOOL unapologetically, and my bf reluctantly watches along with me at times and he is far less forgiving.

As for Leo, I'm no fan of the character, but from personal experience, I think it's inaccurate and unfair to draw judgments on attraction. There's someone for everyone, and there's no accounting for taste, whether we're talking personality or physical attributes, not to mention any number of "issues" a person may have. I don't find it unbelievable that Javi is attracted to Leo and vice versa. A bad or weird choice does not mean an unbelievable or unrealistic choice. It happens.

I don't ķnow if the writers are drawing this storytelling from life, but frankly, this fast and furious brand of hooking up and "romance" happens all the time. People fall hard and jump in quickly, ride the good before they come to their senses and realize a relationship was just an invigorating fling.

The RSW and the JPL obsession were on full display today lol they looked hot but I think we all know which obsession is going to win in the fight for Stephanie.

It did seem like the first shots were fired today after Stephanie admitted to Alex that she and Philip were a couple once, and at the end when Alex asked Philip to drop the lawsuit. And I’m looking forward to seeing it all play out. If Philip and Alex’s own storylines are tied to it somehow, it could be really good. I’d love a Chanel/Johnny/Joy/Alex/Stephanie/Philip/Sarah/Xander mess

And we finally got an update about Philip and Chloe today. Too bad it didn’t work out for them. She really should be a part of this storyline. She can be weaved in to it in so many ways; taking Philip’s side, taking Xander’s side, even becoming Kate’s ally. Btw, was Kate’s declaration about making sure Philip is never presumed dead again some kind of foreshadowing? I hope so. 

And I did love how everyone ended up having Thanksgiving dinner together at the Pub. How that ended up happening, along with Kayla’s prayer and Philip’s declaration felt like classic soap. Too bad that we’re not getting any follow up tomorrow. But yeah, everybody sitting on one side of the table looked really weird

Justin’s conversation with Alex was nice but it was another example of what a mistake it was to completely remove Alex from the Kiriakis family storylines and give him this Body&Soul I’m glad he’s being brought back into it now but he should have been a part of it from the very beginning. Him coming off as so caring about Xander today didn’t really ring true to me. He should be plotting against both Xander and Philip. Hell, if Alex was plotting against the two of them, it could lead to Sonny and Will being brought back

Btw, Justin’s little *wink wink* of suggesting they have pizza on Thanksgiving actually made me chuckle a little.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
