DAYS: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[AbcNbc247]

Fake Rafe… Skip.

But I did enjoy the Philip/Xander and the Sarah/Stephanie scenes. This seems to be like the perfect way to build up their storyline until it reaches its climax. Let the relationships grow a little bit before they get blown to hell. 

I wonder if Philip was actually being sincere when he and Xander discussed Victor. It seemed like it but I wasn’t sure. That’s might’ve been due to JPL’s portrayal again, but he stills growing on me

The Gabi/Kerry scenes were nice too, even though they were meant to be the bad guys, but it’s clearly not going to work. They both spoke for all of us today. Honestly, if they didn’t want us to like Kerry, they shouldn’t be writing him as so charming. 

Btw, I find it a little ridiculous that on a show where big reveals are rushed and multiple episodes of drama often get squeezed into one,

I just happened to notice that on Bluesky Drake is trending.  I think that is very very cool. Basically, a random Wednesday in January. I'm all in for it.

You realize that it is Drake the rapper and not Drake from Days?

All the Greenes need to go. None of it is consistent, makes sense, or is remotely interesting. I hope they don't saddle Chad with the Nu90210'er indefinitely. 

With the new writers' material coming onscreen in a few months, I hope they did a full assessment of their very large cast of contract and recurring players and did some much needed pruning.

Oh, darn. But, sure, I can laugh that I made that mistake.

Yeah, like obvi, E, no, didn't even occur to me. D'oh! The joke's on me!!! 

[j swift]

Given that EJ is single, I wonder if they'd be a good match?

I think they are trying to keep Cat as a "good girl", but there are references to a dark past of drug use and fraud, so maybe she could gravitate toward EJ.

In terms of today's episode, Fake Rafe is making Jada look dumb.  Except for her fantastic hair, her denial of the facts is beyond belief.

For me, what's missing in the Lady Whistleblower stuff is some viable exposition.  Did Kerry plan it from the first time he met Leo?  How did he connect with Chad?  Is his motive B&S based, or due to Leo's rejection?

Well, you know who I think needs to go, more than anyone

As for the Greenes, I think that if they are planning to get rid of one of them, it should be Cat.

And, I don’t even feel like it’s AnnaLynne McCord’s fault. She was basically set up to fail with all of the changes in the storyline.

I feel like starting a thread titled "Fire Greg Rikkart!!"

[SouthernChick]

I love Cat. She’s my favorite Green and I hope she stays. And I’m all for a slow burn with her and Chad. He needs to move on.

[Wendy]

Considering the crumbs of casting news already leaked, don't hold your breath. Stupidity reigns, no matter who is in charge, apparently.

TBF, Annalynne signed a year contract like Steve Burton did. I feel like she was always going to play that out and be done. 

[AbcNbc247]

31 minutes.

I think this is the shortest episode we’ve ever gotten. 

And to make it even worse, poor Marlena was wasted on Leo, once again. I would much rather have seen her with her awful granddaughter.

Btw, today it was Gabi who spoke for all of us. I seriously can’t believe they’re using classic soap pacing for the climax of this Lady Whistleblower crap. 

As for Brady and Tate, you could tell that they were both father and son; they have such messy lives but they both want what they want regardless of the messes

I don’t Brady starting a relationship with Ava, but I’m curious to see what’s going to happen after, for the two of them. We’ve already seen all this stuff with Rachel. I hope they don’t do it again. 

Same goes for Tate who, despite having everything he has to deal with, still had time to get flowers for Holly. But I don’t mind the two of them being determined, even if it is a little selfish lol it could lead to something good happening. 

And, Tate and Doug III finally met!

I loved the look on Tate’s face when Doug III came into the room. He was already looking suspicious. I’m really looking forward to this rivalry and how it may affect all the characters that are involved. Maybe we finally get a brawl

Storylines like this are the one that deserve classic soap pacing, not anything that has to do with Leo. 

More like “Cancel Leo Stark”

On some level, that does kinda suck. I like the actor. And the character, somewhat. But the whole Clyde/Caterina/Fake Abigail thing was a huge mistake that really hurt the character and the actor.

Well, if she's on set beyond this month, then she re-signed, because she began filming January 2024.
