Merry Christmas, y’all!

Please register in order to view this content

 

I’ll always love a Horton family Christmas. This is one of the things that makes Days what it is and I’m glad to see this tradition be carried on.

There were a lot of sweet dorky family moments and I really liked that. And they got all the historical facts correct as well. Clearly, somebody at Days has been reading Jason47. Or this board

Xander giving Sarah red shoes for Christmas was a nice throwback as well.

Jack, Jennifer and JJ being all suspicious of Doug III was good too. And I like that those suspicions were one of the things that motivated JJ to decide to stay in Salem. He deserves to be on the canvas. And I don’t dislike this storyline, even though I’m still not sure about them making Julie so vulnerable. I wonder how it’s going to play out. 

And as much as I dislike the pacing of this storyline, Tate and Holly’s scenes were really sweet today, even though Tate lied lol I like the mess that they’re in. It just needed to happen a little later than now. The aftermath of John’s death, perhaps? 

It would have been nice to have a proper Holly/Tate/Sophia triangle.

I thought it was lovely. Great use of history with Xander giving Sarah the red shoes. Sweet moment with Shawn and Maggie. He's kind of the forgotten Victor grandchild. And the Horton house scenes were perfect, especially seeing a real Victoria and Jack and Xander making amends. The final scene with a classic Julie and Doug flashback was really good, as was Clan Deveraux putting Doug 3 on notice. Only buzz kill was the boring pub stuff with dull Tate and Holly.

A really great DAYS episode. The Horton ornaments is always so special. I was glad that JJ asked Doug3 to explain about his being in jail. I don't know if I believe the tale he told. Wasn't it funny that Julie overheard part of his phone call to Leo. Now she knows he is needing money. I thought Holly & Tate were good today. Yes, I know Tate lied. But, I suppose it couldn't be helped. Tate & Sophia are going to be bound together by this. It may affect a lot of things. But at least Holly had a good birthday celebration. People who have their birthday around a holiday get cheated. But Tate prevented that from happening. I laughed about Uncle Roman. But, Merry Christmas & good will to all men, and also women.

Although it feels natural for any teen guy to lie under these circumstances, there really is no motivation.  Holly knows they had sex.  It was a mistake.  And they could use her support.

Happy Hanukkah to all, and thank you @AbcNbc247 for making it such a fun year to interact and share ideas.  And a special shout out to @carolineg for putting up with all my memory lapses.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all my Days (and GH) friends on this board!!!  Hope you are enjoying the day!

I thought today's episode was nice.  Yeah, you can call Doug/Holly a mile away, but I thought Tate/Holly's private celebration for her birthday was nice. 

I am sad both Chad and Lucas were missing from the Horton Ornament tree trimming.

And the idea of Xander buying Sarah red shoes was lovely, but the actual shoes looked very cheap and not Sarah's style at all lol!

Good episode!

Can Doug be any more adorable? I'm ok with a Holly and Doug pairing.

Xander's pecs should be enough present for Sarah.

I loved the singing at Julie's and the final scene with her and Doug.

Oh and JJ was just as adorable. Glad to see him back on the show.

Random thoughts from today's episode:

  1. Weren't they going to shoot B&S at the Pub?  That set is being used for the most random scenes.  Because there is no teenaged girl who would find a smelly old pub by the docks romantic.
  2. Shouldn't Marie be informed about the stolen necklace?  As Alice's only living child, she's more entitled to it than Julie.  In fact, IIRC, Jen inherited the Horton House, while Julie and Chad are merely guests.   So, legally, any property on the grounds should be Jen's.
  3. Chad is randomly missing because he is in “Orlando” with the kids?  I get that they can't reference Disney, but I wonder why they don't plug Universal Florida?  Goodness knows, they plug every other NBC-U product any chance that they get.
  4. So, it has been established that Holly is 18.  Did she and Tate flunk last year because they missed so much school?  It also brings into question Sophia's age, and when she'll be old enough to consent for her own medical procedures?
  5. Does Maggie need another portrait of her and Vic?
  6. Isn't anyone else hiring besides the Salem PD?

Yeah, Holly wasn't aged up from last year lol.  It just her next birthday.  

It's also not weird for her to be 18 while still in highschool.  Lots of people including myself graduated at 18 without flunking a year lol. Sophia could be 17 and the same year in school.  It just depends on your birthday.

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.

      Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.

      April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)

      It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.

      Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.

      TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
