DAYS: February 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

Oh, Hattie was jettisoned off with Body & Soul? Thank God. I tend to catch up on the weekends but good to know because that was one of the things I hoped for. Too bad she couldn't take Leo with her.

“The Salem reboot is dead”

What a beautiful phrase

Johnny and Chanel were sweet today but I wish that there was still some good conflict between them. There were so many story opportunities for them, as we were reminded of today, and every single one was rushed and basically forgotten about. And like I said in the spoiler thread, I really hope they don’t do to Chanel what I fear they’re going to do. 

Tate was unintentionally messy but I liked the dilemma that he was in. Admittedly, it made him look a little pathetic but again, he’s a teen. He’s supposed to messy lol I still like him but I’m kinda hoping that either Holly or Sophia rip him a new one at some point in the future. Johnny and Chanel counseling him was nice though and so was Doug III counseling Holly. Days really needs to push this quad or a Tate/Doug III rivalry because it could be really good. I wonder where Doug III is gonna end up working now. And now that the soap crap is over, can we get Leo away from him? Please  

Too soon to make any judgments about nuSophia though. 

Clearly, Joy was supposed to be the bad guy in today’s episode and clearly it didn’t work. I was totally on her side today. Her ripping Alex was great. This was the most spark that she’s had in a long time. And yeah, Alex’s scenes with Stephanie made him look a selfish POS. I really hope we don’t get another one of those cruel, nasty ass humiliation storylines that Ron loves to do. He did it to the mother now he’s gonna do it to the daughter? 

And yeah, Seth Burns is a clown. And the hospital suddenly going bankrupt sounds stupid. Kayla definitely should’ve known about it by now. Hopefully, it’ll lead into something good for everyone involved.

The old series would've titled that episode "The Traitor," opening it with a montage (set to ragtime) of famous traitors, such as Benedict Arnold.

I tend to agree because she was not by his side during the whole Theresa engagement/inheritance drama, and he wasn't there during Bob/ette, there's little to inform them as an “end game couple”.  And he shares a lot of qualities with Joy, which make them feel well suited for each other.

As for Johnny and Chanel, let's try to make it through a year without cheating on each other, getting exposed to radiation, or possessed by the devil before having kids.  I mean, who is giving a baby to the couple who just reconciled yesterday, after they both lost their jobs?

PS, I still think Seth is kind of funny.

Somebody needs to point out that Stephanie is an unrepentant man stealer.

That whole scene where she and Alex were absolving themselves of any guilt about Joy, because the ends justifies the means, was ethically nuts. 

Stephanie knows Joy has been going through it, and just because every dude in Salem falls immediately head over heels for Stephanie does not justify her lack of compassion.

    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
