DAYS: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

LOL! Holes, then, an unreliable condom! Very very amusing. Although, no, I don't think it's funny that DAYS is introducing a pregnancy at this point into these people's story. 

I was a bit startled that the other day she defended her brother so, but now she seems to accept the idea that he is culpable. 

 

Leo's scenes with fill-in-the-blank are cringeworthy almost all the time, if not all, if you ask me!

Oh, I wanted to slap Javi today! Talk about obnoxious!

Wait. Why? And, does Leo deserve to have a known reputation as a stolen jewels fence?

The best moment was finding out that it was the DNA switching that Mark has to do the 18 months for. Thar was unclear to me before & I like having the clarity now. Also it answers the question has anyone in Salem ever paid a price for tampering with DNA evidence? YES, someone is about to do so.

Finally, I watched Wednesday's and today's episodes. Can we end the Abby storyline? It has dragged on for too long, and the story has gone in circles with no resolution.

 

I wouldn't mind a Javi/JJ pairing or a Javi/Doug pairing.

It was nice to see the Greenes reunited.

 

I found JJ and Tate to be extremely hot.

By the way, mole is a gross Mexican dish. It was the dish that Javi mentioned Gabi was cooking.

By the way, you know that Days tapes too far ahead and becomes outdated, and it's a bad example when Javi mentions Bennifer as a reason why Gabi should go after JJ again.

I dont think Sophia is lying to Tate, I just wonder if she took a pregnancy test yet?

[Gray Bunny]

The Greene family's gotta go. Their backstory was so hodge-podgy half-assed slapped together, from Cat to the mother, to their lack of family chemistry. On a show that has a lot of recurring actors and people that come and go for story spurts, we need not waste airtime on this mess.

@Soapsuds While I can't cosign your distaste for mole, your Bennifer comment is right on target.

  Sort of like when Leo went to Iceland during Gwen's honeymoon with the excuse that he was there to see Madonna, after she had postponed her tour IRL. Stay tuned for next week, when Javi eagerly awaits Liam Payne's new album (too soon?).

OK, on to the episode:

Jack and Jennifer told Cat where to find Chad?  I doubt that they would tell her where to find anything after that slap. 

Did Gabi move into the apartment where she was arrested for Li's murder?  I hope she got a good price.

I really like JJ this time.  He's neither too good nor too cocky, like he was in his youth.  I just hope he finds something else to do than join the Salem PD again.

Doug III's eyebrows are suspect.

Gabi, Javi, Jada and Rafe live at Rafe's house.  No one (on the show) lives in Li's old apartment currently.

[j swift]

I guess the kitchen looked different from how I remember it during Rafe and Nicole's Thanksgiving disaster (although Li didn't have a kitchen, so maybe I was just confused in general)

[carolineg]

I am not sure if the angles are different, but Rafe's kitchen looks the same to me?  Some people are much better with sets than I am.  

Li had a kitchen on the right side of his living room.  Connie would make Li's cut out breakfast and they'd eat at the table next to the kitchen.  Tripp and Wendy used to cook there a lot too.  It was just small.  

John/Marlena and Alex have no obvious kitchen in their apartments.

So, I should pass?

I like them, but I do agree that everything with Cat and Clyde was a big mistake and hastily written, especially since AnnaLynne McCord has basically said that she was supposed to be playing the real Abigail.

Brava to whoever wrote Wednesday's episode. Melissa Reeves again proving why she is the only Jennifer, exuding warmth, love, affection and breaking your heart at the same time. A true matriarch by any other name. The Abby mementos were a great button to put as a period to this story. I honestly hope Abby gets a good long rest before she is ever brought back, though I honestly don't even think that's necessary.

I'll be sad to see Mark seemingly go if indeed he'll be spending all that time in prison. The Greene family are a hit in my book, as is this whole Cat story, retcon or not. I don't know when I felt as positively for a new family on this show. 

Belle was the MVP of today's episode coming in to save the sexy doctor at the perfect time. It's too bad we couldn't get a Leo/Belle scene out of it so that we could start establishing a good aunt/nephew relationship on screen. A moment between them could have been done instead of the awful Holly/Leo scenes. And the Sophia pregnancy (hopefully scare) should have waited until after Christmas. New Years would have been perfect, actually.

Regarding Belle/EJ, does Sami know anything about that yet? 

[AbcNbc247]

She walked in on them after they had sex for the first time.

[Soapsuds]

Yes!! 

@j swift

My mom would disown me and make you her son. She just loves mole. Yuck!

[Bright Eyes]

How did that go? Are they on good terms? Sorry, lapsed viewer here. Sometimes I read the recaps, sometimes I didn't.
