DAYS: February 2025 Discussion Thread

[brisbydog]

Also in lesser news...

Joy saw Alex kissing Stephanie and dumped him

Holly slept with Tate

Philip moved in with his bff Xander 

EJ and Belle had lots of sex

Picking up with yesterday's episode is good it has lots of exposition and plot actually moved.

In the weeks leading up to Christmas they were finishing the season and shooting up to 3 episodes a day. And now they are dark two weeks a month instead of one to save money. Maybe we will finally close the shooting to air gap.

I feel like Janet Drucker stepped in a lot there. Having a female EP instead of an abusive male is a big difference. I think she also changed Johnny and Joy from sex to just near sex.

I have no words for Brady. Isabella would be ashamed.

I hate when characters just don't articulate the obvious like Rafe today.  Instead of explicitly stating he has no memory of anything even his own name we have scenes and scenes of him just saying he has no idea what anyone is talking about.  I know it's to keep the plot going or whatever, but a simple declaration from Rafe would have helped Shawn and Jada along with this.

Did I miss why they can't compare Arnold's DNA to Gabi to see if they're related?

Controversial opinion: I think this is a creative take on the old troupes of evil twins and amnesia.

Or that there haven't been numerous case of the Dimera's using the memory serum on people?  I am perfectly willing to suspend disbelief on a lot of things that happen in Salem.  I just don't understand why Rafe isn't saying he has no memory of anything before he woke up at the house.

[Bright Eyes]

They literally did that. 

[j swift]

I got confused, because didn't Kayla say that they needed to compare Arnold's sample to Rafe?

[brisbydog]

No, they wanted to compare Arnold's sample to another Arnold sample

All to stay 9-10 months ahead. It's insane. The #1 thought always seems to be how to save a dollar. The show looks it.

I may drop Days until the new writers start in April. I'm already watching BTG, BB, and GH.

[j swift]

Also, I know ethics are not a concern in the Salem Universe, but Kayla's going to run a DNA sample without the patient's consent or a court order?  No wonder that hospital is going bankrupt, their liability insurance must be extremely expensive, and they run DNA tests for free.

That thought has crossed my mind too.

EJ ordering Fake Rafe not to sleep with Jada, and how he had "evolved" over the years was the first thing that didn't seem Ron-like to me. 

And I've always suspected that it wasn't just B&S that led to firing. 

Hang in there!

I never thought it was the sole reason. However, I did think it might have been the straw/camel's back or final nail/coffin. 

Are you speaking of Wednesday, April 23rd?

[AbcNbc247]

Absolutely.

I'm already thinking about what I'm gonna write about it in my post that morning
