DAYS: January 2025 Discussion Thread

We always thought Ron was the one who read this board, maybe it was Jamey

[Soapsuds]

Did he write today's awful episode?

[AbcNbc247]

He must have written the breakdown. That’s why it was so awful.

I mean, who else would toss out a random reference to GL

How did Chanel refer to Paulina?  Big Momma?  And when did she start speaking like that?

Allie is dating a man?  This writer has a weird fixation on fluidity, but only when it comes to women.

Also, I totally agree with @Antoyne, Chanel and Johnny aren't breaking up because he kissed Joy.  They are splitting because there is no trust left in that relationship.  They've been lying to each other ever since Chanel became radioactive.  They aren't partners, and they jumped into marriage too quickly after being on the rebound.

I think Chanel was referring to her grandmother Olivia, played by Marla Gibbs.

Chanel was referring to her Grandmother.  Paulina refers to her mother as "big momma" as well.

Allie has been dating a man for a long time.  Pretty much since she left the show.  He's some surfer guy from Australia or New Zealand.  Wherever Will shot his movie.  I guess she's still there.

Chanel should dump Johnny because of this, but she shouldn't quit a job she loves.

That clip gives me a specific kind of rage. There are few things I hate more about modern soaps than the smug self-references. Jamey and Ron both seem so much more interested in smirking at themselves and smirking at soaps (and of course a mention of Soap Twitter - how cutting edge) than providing anything that will give them a legacy. 

[j swift]

Agreed, which is why it makes sense for Johnny to quit.  Although, who is running the bakery now that Felicity is off to Canada?

I thought Chanel would go straight to EJ after learning he tried to pay off Joy.  I look forward to that confrontation.

"Big Momma" is how they've always referred to Olivia. And Allie was established as dating a man quite a while back. I know @janea4old and @carolineg beat me to it, but for once, those are actual consistences in the script writing.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, it's been established that she's called "Big Mama".

And, Allie got a boyfriend pretty quickly after she, and they, got to New Zealand. This also has been established. 

I'm confused about Felicity being in Canada. 

So, was I the only one shocked at the reveal of the identity of NuLadyBlower. Javi's very sloppy looking boyfriend was certainly not on my Bingo card. 

I'm not suprised AT ALL that Johnny & Chanel are being blown up. Thank God, if you ask me, 

But, he should quit & she should not. 

Wasn't it fun for Stephanie to lecture Chad about it not being a first amendment issue?!!! 

And, of course, for Hattie and BonBon to make up, oh no, not a fan of those two & certainly not a fan of their friendship.

That’s one of the things I’m hoping that he doesn’t do on BTG.

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah… I can’t believe it took this long for anyone to realize that Rachel was the one sending the texts. It’s not like they don’t already know what a demon she is

But at least Kristen tried to be a good mother today. 

I liked the Brady/Tate scenes, even though Amy was a massive pain in the ass again. Seriously, why are they letting this snobby newbie dictate their lives? Hell, if I was Brady, I’d take Sophia to get the abortion myself. But I’m glad that they’re still not writing Tate as the perfect Soap hero. He seemed like a real teen today lol especially when he raged over the fact that Ava ratted him and Sophia out. I actually wouldn’t mind him being the catalyst to cause trouble for Brady and Ava, which could in turn cause trouble for him and Holly. But they chose to do this baby thing instead lol but considering that Tate mentioned once again that he and Sophia used protection, I think we’re getting a twist in this storyline sooner or later. 

And yeah, SSH/Julie was breaking my heart again. I like that Doug III was there to comfort her. They seem to work well together. And now that the necklace thing seems to be progressing, I’m curious to see what’s going to happen next. For her and for Holly, now that their relationship seems to be moving forward too. 

I still say it’s time for Tate and Doug III to meet though. And start their rivalry

[BeeLol]

No, Contessa, you weren't, I didn't have a winning Bingo card either. In isolation, I found getting this unexpected reveal refreshing. But looking at the big picture of soaps in recent years, I found it to be a "crumb," where a decent percentage of viewers should be receiving at least somewhat regular "full slices of cake."

[Liberty City]

Again, he's a breakdown writer. He doesn't have that kind of control, nor do I believe Michele Val Jean would allow this on her baby.

[Contessa Donatella]

I like the way you think! I'm in favor of these slices of cake.
