DAYS: December 2024 Discussion Thread

If she wore a tank top underneath it instead of just a bra it would have been perfectly fine.

Bo/Hope/Shawn live in Europe.  Wherever Bo got shot.  Greece I think.  Ciara is just on a boat somewhere as far as we know.  It doesn't seem like Ben/Ciara are currently near Hope, as it felt Hope hadn't seen Ciara in awhile today.

Jack/Jen live in Boston

Thanks!  I already found the dress though.

[Liberty City]

As exampled in the online listing for the top. But, you know Konefal needed to show some skin.

[carolineg]

Well, living in Vegas I see much less attractive people wearing much less unfortunately.  If I saw her in this top or that dress in real life I would think she looks amazing-she is gorgeous.  Just know your audience and your event when you are on TV.  And, of course, Days is not blameless here.

[Liberty City]

Again, the dress isn't the problem: it's the occasion it was worn for. Not appropriate for a funeral/memorial. Should have been a bit more... covered up.

Slowly catching up on the Doug’s funeral episodes….

All I have to say is imagine the grave disappointment for waiting 30 plus years for Spencer to be mentioned again or appear but it is only for Leo….?

That was the part that I thought looked inappropriate for the funeral. The top of the dress was fine, if a bit sexy, but it was how short it was that was like...wowza. Marie should have made a comment about it, being an ex-nun.

Stephen Schnetzer was terrific. As he always is. It's hard to believe he's 76. He looks much younger.

When they all sang 'Always' that was incredibly moving and beautifully done. But then...

Leo is truly an albatross and the show is weaker for him being on the canvas. It's like RC sees the character as his wish fulfillment and he's living his fantasies through him...so great is his obsession and shoehorning the character into every single scene imaginable. I was shocked when he appeared with Stephen Schnetzer. That never should have happened.

This was my lowest point, my biggest criticism, etc. Could not stand SS being wasted on a long scene with Leo!!! 

[Bold Days]

Guess I'm a party of one who actually enjoys Leo. He brings lighthearted wit (comedy relief) and I'm amazed at Greg's ability to memorize all the dialogue he delivers in such a short period of time.

Well, Marie did tell Liz to drop dead once, so she might be well past her nun mentality

An albatross that makes Austin Reed look like Bo Brady.

I hoping everyday that the new writers get rid of him for good 

[AbcNbc247]

Of course, Uncle Ron couldn’t go a week without his precious Robert Scott Wilson and Greg Rikaart.

Today was ok, but a lot of people annoyed me lol

First, f*ck off, Cat.

I should have sympathy for her, and I haven’t really hated this storyline but she was so annoying today. Chad was a lot more forgiving than I would have been. But Chad and JJ each finding out about Doug and absorbing the news about were really good. Scenes like that show us just how good Billy Flynn and Casey Moss really are. And yes, it was still a big mistake to not have Chad and JJ attend Doug’s funeral, or at least have a scene of either of them comforting Julie.

The Joy/Alex scenes could have been a lot better though. Having Alex act like this is all a big joke and having him be so smug and obnoxious is the wrong choice for this storyline. It’s annoying too lol and since when is Alex so anti-Dimera? Thankfully, the EJ/Johnny scenes balanced everything out today. I’m glad EJ brought up that Joy could possibly be manipulating this whole situation and I really hope that’s the route they take with this storyline. It would be a great twist and it wouldn’t feel like a random half-assed rewrite, like with Luna on B&B

And as hot as RSW is, and he looked hot again today lol, I still think the obsessive writing for him is the biggest reason why fans can’t stand his character. 

And, Paulina was annoying too. Thankfully, Lani/Sal and Chanel/Raven saved those scenes and made them worth watching. Lani visiting David Abraham’s grave was really touching. 

[VelekaCarruthers]

Friday's episodes featured all the plots worthy of not watching.  What a mess other than Julie's plot.

Today was a filler, boring episode. It was great to see Lani again.

I don't care about Joy and Johnny's one night stand. Can they recast Johnny? Carson Boatman is awful. He can't act.

The Clyde story is just dumb beyond words.

And Cat deserved a slap in the face after what she said about Abigail.

[carolineg]

Yeah, it had to be one or the other.  If the dress was at least knee length or midi length, the top wouldn't be so bad.  If the top was more covered up and the dress was short it might have been acceptable.  The dress was really short though lol.

Anyhow, on to today's show.  I agree it was a big mistake to not have JJ or Chad at Doug's funeral.  It's not like the story progressed while the funeral was happening.  I don't understand why Chad didn't book hotel rooms with two beds.  That's extremely common in almost every hotel regardless of how nice it is lol.  It's not like Clyde thinks Chad/Cat are sleeping together so there would be no reason to book only one bed for Gabi/JJ at the very least.

The EJ/Johnny and Alex/Joy stuff is whatever.  I like EJ's involvement, but I don't need Alex's at all.  I still think the actress that plays Joy looks a lot like Amber Tamblyn lol.

Do Sal and Lamon not want to be on Days full time?  I am glad they visit fairly often, but they would be nice on canvas permanently.

Not much of a cliffhanger this week.

[TEdgeofNight]

You are not a party of one. Leo is my favorite character. They constantly write for him so obviously the show gets positive feedback. By nature of soaps, we all have different opinions.

[Dr Neil Curtis]

I hate how they saddled her with two children so soon!
