DAYS: January 2025 Discussion Thread

Brandon Beemer can definitely still get it.

That's one soap trope that I really hate. The no-memory thing is beyond ridiculous.

I assume Maggie had more staff to help with cooking and cleaning, but it never made much sense that they put paralyzed Sarah in a room upstairs.  Unless Maggie has an elevator that we've never seen.

But, much like Alex after his inheritance, I think they're there to stay.

Also, while I've grown to accept that Alex and Philip are co-CEOs, does Maggie still own 50%?  Because, I don't understand why they don't need her approval for a takeover of Dimera?

Are any daytime parents worse than Brady and Kristen. I mean, YIKES.

[j swift]

To be fair, Brady got that referral from Marlena and made an appointment for two minutes later (they seem to avoid taking Rachel to school, but she's got bigger fish to fry).

Well, on GH currently, Carly is in Germany. Joss is in the garage apartment on the Q compound. Jason is here, there & everywhere although home base is the Q mansion. Avery & Donna, little girls, are at Carly's house presumably with a nanny only, day after day.

Xander said Victor put in an elevator in his later years when he was having mobility issues.

The will left Xander "controlling interest" of Titan. What that means seems to change frequently.

[Bold Days]

He dumped Kerry.

OH! Thanks!

So, the man who assaulted Marlena’s daughter is not welcome in her house but the man who assaulted Marlena’s grandson is welcome? Ok

And seriously, why does every episode that this creep is in have to start with him

And too make matters worse, Marlena was written like Hattie today. I’m sure all the Ron ass kissers will love it but I thought the episode was bad. Even worse than Tuesday. Treating this, and EJ holding Rafe hostage, all like a big joke was not the way to go. And, when did EJ plan all this revenge against Jada? Did I miss something or is this just a sudden half assed rewrite? They’re writing it as though he was responsible for bringing Fake Rafe back to Salem and he wasn’t. 

Did Jamey write this crap too? It seems like it. Again, April can’t get here soon enough. Days already fired one mistake, hopefully they fire the other, even worse one too. 

JJ did look hot though. His scenes with Gabi were pretty much the only part of today that were worth watching. Not only because he looked hot lol but because their scenes weren’t written like a big stupid joke. They actually felt like a classic soap couple that’s finding their way back to each other and I enjoyed that.

Marlena and Leo as BFFs…

where is Eugene Bradford when you need him!

[ranger1rg]

I'm halfway through the episode, and you're right -- it is awful. These Marlena/Leo scenes are PAINFUL. I don't know how anyone can enjoy this crap.

The story was already really bad, but Carlivati stepped up his game with the birthday hats. What is EJ's vision supposed to be here? How does he see this playing out? None of it makes any sense.

[carolineg]

The Marlena/Leo scenes are really weird.  He's her patient not her friend.  DH was acting so oddly as Marlena.  Not like Hattie, exactly, but off.  She also could have just told Kayla about this.

Anyway, I get the impression Deidre actually really likes working with GR.  I want to blame this all on Ron, but she seems to have fun playing off Leo.  Idk, maybe knowing some sad material is coming up this type of stuff just lightens the mood a bit for her.

[AbcNbc247]

I don’t understand that “Jada will be exposed as corrupt” stuff that he was spewing out today either. It was like it was written just to get the episode to a manageable length. 

They had a perfect opportunity to cause conflict for Rafe/Jada over the whole commissioner thing, and also for EJ to manipulate that situation to get back at Jada for getting him ousted as DA. And they tossed it aside for this garbage.

or Kate.

I wish more had been made of the threesome of Kayla, Kate, and Marlena post thier frozen adventure.  There was so much potential for them to interact.  I'd love to see Kayla's reactions as Kate's sister-in-law.  As well as Marlena as the ex-wife.  They're a fun trio, and add in Paulina, you've got some mature, interesting, greek chorus scenes. 

For example, rather than those tortured scenes of Kristen explaining Aremid to Johnny, gather the ladies over coffee and have them reminisce about their past adventures with Rachel and her kids.  It's the Real Housewives of Salem.

As soon as that best friend tripe began, I skipped their remaining scenes. It also made me miss the Marlena/Maggie friendship.
