DAYS: February 2025 Discussion Thread

LOL

Rant:
I just can't make myself watch a show featuring three rapists. 

EJ forced Sami to have sex in exchange for agreeing to save Lucas' life (with the understanding that if she said no, then Lucas would remain in a harmful situation and/or left to die).  So that's rape by coercion. 

When Sami was in relationship with Rafe (or married to Rafe), EJ put Arnold in EJ's bed for a while as Rafe's lookalike.  That's Arnold committing rape by impersonation, *and* EJ committing rape by arranging the crime.

I heard that EJ had a throwaway line of dialogue a while back that he understands consent better now.  Really?  That doesn't fix things.  That's not a way to write a character.  That's just a plot device to put whatever character in whatever storyline.

Kristen has raped multiple people.

I just don't want to watch any of these people. 

/end rant

I don't care if Martha and Dan have chemistry as Belle and EJ.  It's gross because EJ raped Belle's sister!

EDIT to add:  rapist Ava is on the show too.

It is remarkable how Marlena has avoided discussing Belle, Eric, and Sami's love lives.  That was always John or Roman's domain.  I mean, she counsels half of Salem on their intimate relationships, but she barely says a peep about her own kids. 

I guess it is like the proverbial cobbler's son who has no shoes.

So, Ron was fired right in the middle of the reveal? 

Interesting. 

4 rapists: Leo.

Maybe that all played a part in Ron’s firing too. 

Maybe it’s because fans like Belle, Eric and Sami

I added Ava while you were replying so that makes five.

Hopefully, we won’t see any of that from the new writers.

Best parts of today's episode were a shirtless JJ and Kate. The rest of the show I fast-forwarded..

[Soapsuds]

Just watched Thursday's episode and I did a lot of fast-forwarding.

 

Javi finally told Jada that "Rafe" cheated on her.

 

Brady and Steve found Ava tied up.

 

Kristen received a package which contained a memory-erasing vial.

Unless the vial was for something else and meant for fake Rafe.

Today started off with a new establishing shot… followed by a shot that made me want to vomit

Btw, idk about all these stereotypes about gays and sports.

I appreciate that Javi seems to have his own character though. He deserves to be more than just Leo’s little boy. But I do think Al needs a haircut because that big bush on his head kinda distracts from those beautiful eyes

EJ and Belle was the best part of today. I’m really enjoying the dynamic between the two of them and I’m looking forward to seeing this all play out. It could go in so many different directions. And with the new writers coming in, a fresh take on all of this might make it even better. 

And I hope Brady and Kristen lose their little demon spawn to CPS. That could actually be a good storyline. Plus, Kristen is a terrible mother. She deserves to lose her kid. 

As for Aremid, now that it seems to be ending, I hope it ends fast. And ends with some people getting their asses beat or killed off.

That was fast

Lol I'm the opposite, if Leo is on I'm out

Lol I'm the opposite, if Leo is on I'm out

My preview or that I watched it already?

I just fast-forward every scene he's in, including those with Javi.

I know this is a dumb question but I can't ever really make out what nickname Javi is calling Rafe.  It sounds like Rafa? or is he saying Rafi?  Closed captioning just says "Rafe".  Is that just a specific pronunciation?

[j swift]

I liked the establishing shot, but it was then remarkable that nobody seemed to acknowledge the snow in terms of how they dressed, or how they traveled from place to place.  And, of course, there was no trace of snow in Horton Square.

[janea4old]

Rafe's real name is Rafael so maybe Javi is saying Rafa?
Edit, yes the diminutive/nickname for Rafael in Spanish is "Rafa"
