DAYS: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[Bright Eyes]

Really quick episode today. The only parts I cared to watch were about Chanel, and Bonnie falling down the elevator shaft. Greg Rikaart, the guy playing Kerry, and Al Calderon were all completely awful in the brief moments I could stomach watching their terribly written scenes for this inane so called story. The gays on this show make me want to die, but no more so than the gays writing it. As a writer you must have an immense talent to have Deidre Hall, Judi Evans, and Lauren Koslow in a scene and have every single second be complete trash. I enjoy the show outside of this mess, even the Arnold story, but I despise this absolute crap.

I have nothing to add. I won't see today's show until late tonight. I just couldn't resist quoting this. This sums it up so nicely. I do wonder, though, one thing, where was James Reynolds?

Let me start with the positive, this is the best facework on Daytime TV.  If they bruise that face with this elevator stunt, she should sue.  For an actress who has been on TV for 40 years, she looks remarkable.  Hair, makeup, not too much filler, just really good.

Now for the other stuff.  Am I the only one who thinks Alex looks old for Joy?  He's a handsome guy, but she looks very youthful when standing next to him.

RonC rarely hits the mark when it comes to the dénouement of a story.  The start of the Lady Whistleblower story was fine, the reveal was slightly surprising, and then the confrontation was awful.  Kerry confessed to everything, but there are zero consequences.  His admission took very little effort. 

And the breakup with Javi felt inevitable, but unmotivated.  I still don't get why Javi would care that Kerry was a gossip columnist, considering that they really seemed to like each other, and he's only known Leo for a short time.  I mean, Leo fenced Alice Horton's necklace, isn't that worse than publishing your opinions about a soap opera?  If not, all of us on this forum need to re-assess what our loved ones would think if they read our postings.

Going back a few days, who can explain to me what the heck a jersey or sweatshirt or whatever it was, from Rochester, means?!! I am not stupid but I had no idea why Leo cared he was from Rochester. I'm afraid this show is slowly rotting my brain.

Seven minutes into Monday's episode and it's terrible. I can't believe they allowed such horribly written material be recorded on tape.

I'm 12 minutes in, and it's beyond bad.

Imagine getting the day to yourself (since the other soaps are off for the Fat Orange Blob's inauguration) and completely wasting it with This Body & Soul crap.

I watched Bold and General Hospital from Friday. I was a day behind. Then I watched Friday's price is right.

Started watching days since the orange blob was still on. Two awful choices. Days won out but stopped watching after ten minutes and began making dinner. 

And the orange blob is still on in ever damn channel.

Thank God for streaming!

[Soapsuds]

I mean Kerry and Javi looked hot in bed together but not even that could help me to continue watching it. 

I loathe Leo and the Body & Soul nonsense.

Thank gawd I was a day behind!

I would've probably watched some Dallas and MSW on Apple TV.

Tomorrow sounds better

[ranger1rg]

Just finishing this episode....

Are Leo and Javi really going to screw in the same bed where Kerry just erupted? And no shower for Javi?

[Soapsuds]

Thank God I didn't see the rest!!

[teplin]

Chad told Leo that the paper’s checks to Lady Whistleblower were deposited in a Rochester bank.

To be fair, they didn't know that they'd have the day to themselves.  Given DAYS production schedule, this episode was filmed during the Bush administration.

Thank you so much. Now I get to know how blasted thin the shirt logo is as PROOF.
