DAYS: December 2024 Discussion Thread

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.

@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.

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.

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?

    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.

    • Not unless they live in an apartment complex.

    • That was bad. Product placement is fine, but not here, not now. Besides, no one carries their damn detergent to the living room.   Completely and utterly disagree. I thought Brandon Claybon was excellent today -- maybe his best performance since the show started. No recast needed.   Not unpopular with me. That didn't work. The montage was good, but 5 minutes of Amazing Grace? With all those verses? No. What kind of family breaks into a loud version of Amazing Grace after what just happened??? None. Anita's lecture to Leslie was great. Ending the show -- a really good episode with crackling dialogue -- like that was a mistake.  
    • Today, was a fantastic episode. I loved everything about, including Ainta singing, Amazing Grace. I love the family dynamic of the Dupree's so much. They remind me of my own family at times. Martin & Smitty have come leaps and bounds from where they  started. I genuinely felt a connection between them I can't wait to watch it deepen. Dana/Leslie/Sherry/Ana is a piece of work. Her speech at the Dupree's about her "concern" for Eva and then locking her out of their apartment??? She is pure evil, but I love it. I can't wait to see where the Eva/Kat story goes. There's so much potential there. As for Ted, I need to see Keith Robinson in the role before giving my true critique of Maurice Johnson.
    • I don't recall that we ever saw the exterior of the Madison house.  BUT the interior is definitely Mission Revival.  It has a wrought-iron staircase, and all the doorways & corridors have archways.  I watched a few old episodes over the weekend from that period and really noticed for the first time how uniquely Mission Revival the set is.  
    • I know Daphnee's back hurts, because she was carrying Maurice through those scenes! Still not loving the idea of replacing the actor, but he was giving very little.  Brandon's scenes with Leslie did not hit the way they were supposed to because I was busting out laughing.  One thing I enjoy about this soap is how it plays with the nuance of good and evil. Kat vs Eva and Anita vs Leslie. There are some things that Kat and Anita said that makes it hard to root for them and how the Duprees can be family over everything to a fault. It almost makes them come across as entitled and unlikely at times. And while what Lesile and Eva have done is wrong in different ways, you can see that hurt and sympathize.  Now, what I don't get is what Lesile thought she was doing expecting the Duprees to accept Eva with open arms. Honey, Eva is a Richardson not a Dupree. In the Dupree world, she's Ted's problem unless they choose otherwise, because there ain't a drop of Dupree blood coursing throught her veins (unless we learn otherwise in some twist). Ted is lucky if they don't disown his ass.
