DAYS: February 2025 Discussion Thread

[j swift]

Today made Alex seem like a wuss.  It makes no sense that he wouldn't just tell Joy that he wants to be with Stephanie.  I get drawing things out, but he has no motivation to try to keep Joy happy.  I mean, he told her that he doesn't want a commitment, they just got together three minutes ago, and she wants to go to LA.  So, let her go, and move on.  Also, Justin living part-time in Salem hardly seems like a reason not to continue with the soap opera. 

Once again, we have to remind the writers that this is a university-based hospital (after all, it is in the name). UCLA receives over $1 billion in external research grants annually, less than 10% of their income comes from direct care. The writing team seems to have no idea how different types of hospitals work, and once again, they seem incapable of googling it.  

To me, the highlight of the day is the exit of Hattie.  That was an embarrassing portrayal. An evil twin shouldn't only be indicated by her poor taste in accessories.

The hospital stuff is so bad. Yesterday I couldn't help but watch the two lonely extras (a doctor and a nurse) move behind the desk while Brady and Steve called Tripp. None of it resembled anything like a real hospital.

They walked around aimlessly, and I LOL at how many times one of them reached for a file folder -- not a computer in sight. Oh...let me take that back. At the rear of the set, it looked like someone shoved a computer monitor up against the wall. The screen was flat against that wall, as if a broken monitor was pushed out of the way.

Or the night of all the poisonings when the hospital was "overwhelmed", yet in every scene, the nurses station was deserted

I know times are tough, but It was so depressing to see the urgent meeting for Body and Soul take place at the hospital. But at least that forced mess is finally dead and I'm happy to be rid of Hattie, hopefully once and for all. Goodbye to Seth, too. I hope the new writers break up Justin and Bonnie and she is never heard from again either, but I do adore Judi Evans who always gives her all, today being no exception.

We could surmise that Alex will be back at Titan shortly, and Leo probably back at The Spectator (poor Chad!), but I wonder what this means for Doug and his money troubles.

The most ecstatic for Kate and Abe being free! She has been just as great as ever when involved with Philip and anything but the bs that is B&S. 

But is this the worst Carlivati had to offer? How much damage did he do in his last two months? I'm intrigued, yet terrified, but I'm staying tuned regardless.

DAYS has no budget. We all know that. But has anyone done LESS with no budget than Janet Spellman-Drucker? Aside from not being Albert Alarr, she has done NOTHING for this show.
