DAYS: February 2025 Discussion Thread

Well, maybe if somebody (I won’t say who) hadn’t completely rewritten the story, ALM would have been used more effectively

That all sounds pretty good

It could be a great, messy umbrella storyline that could play out for so long.

I sort of got the impression that they were hinting that something may happen between Xander and Stephanie, back when she was doing PR for Philip and when her and Sarah were suddenly such good friends. But now that’s she back with Alex, who knows? I’m worried that pairing is gonna ruin her even more.

I’d be down for a Philip/Sarah affair too. 

But Alex definitely needs to be brought back into the Kiriakis family storylines. My hatred of B&S aside, it was a huge mistake to completely remove him from everything after he found out he wasn’t Victor’s son.

I accuse him

Glad for Jason getting a shout out. Let’s call out fans who share small clips. Fair use exists.

[Toups]

I noticed right away.  That was pretty cool.  LOL

First, they de-SORAS you; then, they reveal you're Stefano DiMera's illegitimate child.  Like sands through the hourglass, folks!

This Fake Rafe/EJ’s revenge stuff is so clunky. And messy, but not in a good way. The only bright spot of all this is EJ and Belle’s relationship and the effect that this could have on it and everybody around them. I don’t think it makes all of this worth it though lol but I’m looking forward to seeing what’s going to happen for them.

Btw, am I the only one who thought that Belle was a bit of a dick today?

As for the Brady/Kristen/Ava/Aremid thing, I guess the cliffhanger was good but I’m just tired of this storyline and the historical rewrites, in general. Plus, it feels weird to have them delve into Kristen’s past and not have Eileen Davidson be playing her.

Kristen needs a reset, or just write her and her awful kid out. Now, is definitely a good time to do so, especially if they’re not gonna do anything different with her character. I also think now would be a good time to bring Tripp back too

Rafe and EJ sharing the same piece of bacon was disturbing. Also, and I realize this is extremely petty of me, but Kristen never having her nails done always bothers me. Though I would argue, small touches like that constantly being missed are a reasonable problem all their own.

I hate that the old white bitch is seemingly the real Rachel Blake.

EJ is a great bastard though and I genuinely love to hate him.

For whatever reason, I am more tolerant of the Aremid tale, because it feels like classic DAYS.  A mixture of fantasy and romance.  When I'm willing to ignore the fantastical plot holes, because the romance of Ava and Brady is at the center of the story (even though, they hardly progressed as a couple before facing immediate hardship).

Once again, does EJ know his son is in the hospital?  When Belle told Jada she was visiting Johnny, why doesn't she tell her that he's in the ER with Chanel?  I mean, Sami should be more angry about EJ ignoring their son that she should be about two adults being in an intimate relationship, years after she's left town.

And finally, why is Arnold Paulina's only choice for commissioner?  What about Shawn-D?  And why didn't we get any scenes of Shawn interrogating Jada?

UPDATE: I just got a chill thinking of this possibility

Paulina told Arnold today that Shawn wasn't a good choice because his previous time as Comm. was a disaster due to his alcoholism.

[j swift]

Thanks, I saw that, but my question was based on the fact that S-D's been sober for a year, and Rafe was just fired a few months ago

-- speculation only --
unproven random speculation that PERHAPS the show had intended to write a Chloe return for Brady, with a Broe romance.  And also Chloe returning with her little sister Joy.  But for whatever reason, PERHAPS they wanted Nadia and Nadia wasn't available? So then they had to reassign Nadia's stuff to whomever.  Chloe's romance was rewritten for Ava, and Chloe mentoring her little sister Joy was also rewritten. Just guessing.
/end speculation.

[j swift]

The evidence should also include the total lack of dialogue about Ava and Kristen's past together.  One would think that if this was a story meant for Ava, they would remind viewers of their past animosity. 

[janea4old]

I wonder if Ava/Sophia was originally supposed to be Chloe/Joy?

[j swift]

The only opposing information is that Brady specifically commented that Rachel ruined his relationship with Chloe, so part of his motivation is not to repeat his past patterns.

[Soapsuds]

Wow! I didn't watch all week. Hopefully next week will be better. I doubt it.

The show is back to #9 after starting at #7 for the wedding.

Thank goodness I only pay $1.99 for peacock. $7.99 a month isn't worth it.
