Among the many reasons I hate this "EJ holds Rafe hostage" storyline is because I despise plots that make no sense and that should offer no redemption for the criminal.

Has EJ thought this through? What's he planning to do with Rafe? Keep him there forever? It makes no sense. Redemption? LOL. We all know EJ will get away with this and that nothing will happen to him.

Then there's the Woman in White storyline. Another mess. You have to ignore all common sense to believe Kristen's mother lived there all those years and knows nothing about the family or the world.

Who delivers her groceries? Who pays her bills? Who gives her that haircut and dye job? And now, Kristen is going along with her nutjob mother. Like the EJ/Rafe story, characters are put in situations they should not be able to walk away from.

Suspending belief has always been part of watching DAYS, but they're crossing the line, especially since we've also been put through the Body & Soul nightmare.

@ranger1rg That presumes that they've written themselves into a corner that is inescapable. 

But, I would argue that the only redeeming quality of RonC's writing is that he is always one step ahead of his audience.  The resolutions may not always be satisfying (or logical).  But it is rare that villains get away with crimes without some form of soap justice (unless they're named Leo).

EJ continuing to have Real Rafe hostage is dumb and stupid at this point on screen and the fake Rafe stuff can't end soon enough and I seen some people mentioning Jada and Shawn sleeping together the only way I see that happening currently is Jada finding out about fake Rafe sleeping with that stripper

How long exactly is fake Rafe supposed to stick around? When Rafe gets out, what crazy loophole are they going to use to not send EJ to prison? Did EJ really do all of this just to get his job back? Belle is going to look even dumber than she already does for sleeping with her sister’s former husband/rapist.

Happy to not see Doug III or his wooden portrayer.

Crazy how fast Body and Soul was wrapped up and we still have 2 months of Ron.

So now Kristen’s mother is just another brought back from the dead to be a baddie character. The RC special. 
 

Days does so many prolonged kidnappings in rooms without bathrooms or even buckets. No one ever comments on how smelly the kidnapped person is who is in the same clothes for weeks on end. Nothing about their bad breath.

There are no toilets in their universe. Everything runs off of solar power, collected by the panels over the town square (which also keep out the snow and rain). Hair dye, toothpaste, and deodorant only exist in commercials. 

And, showers are strictly for making whoopee.

The most interesting aspect of this episode to me was Jada. I thought her and Belle sparked as scene partners and would very much accept a complex friendship/frenemy-ship/rivalry to be explored. Clashing over EJ, Shawn, and even at work once Jada inevitably gets her job back. They have the bare bones of something special there if they want to mine it. I hope the new HWs see how much of a star Elia Cantu could be and don't fall into typical patterns when it comes to black characters on soaps.

If they were going to recast Rachel Blake, the least they could have done is keep her more age appropriate. It's a sin that the actress is younger than Deidre Hall, when she was a counterpart of Stefano's. But DAYS always stays being weird.

I said they should have scrapped Ron's last three months and started with the new writers' material.

 

I'm currently not watching and might just wait until April.

Even though it’s supposed to be continuing just without Abe and Kate, etc., hopefully this [!@#$%^&*] is completely erased from existence and never even mentioned again, especially after the new writers come in.

Seriously, this was one of the worst storylines I’ve ever seen and if you ask me, every single actor involved in it deserves an apology from Ron and his little bitchboy, Jamey. They all deserve a lot better than to be treated like big jokes. Idk if Ron meant it to be like a love letter to the soaps, to the fans, whatever (though I wouldn’t be surprised if this was another one of Jamey’s pitches ) but this garbage proves that you cannot write a successful love letter when you’re toxic af and have more issues than f*ckin Time magazine. 

Speaking of toxic, I’m already worried about how Joy’s gonna be written in the next few months.

But I’m so happy that this is all finally ending. It’s been tough but we made it through lol. And Leo getting fired as head writer was the icing on the cake

Johnny’s new haircut looked good though. 

Same problem as always; the idea is so good but the execution of it all is so terrible.

Jada should have been having her own stuff Ron just never understood Marcus hunter history and he always written trash writing for jada's character on screen with Paula cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford I want Jada mom on screen because it is important to show what Jada and her mom dynamic is like

    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
