DAYS: February 2025 Discussion Thread

Body & Soul is over, but this show is still a mess.

-- The hospital going into bankruptcy is ridiculous -- even though it looks like it's already broke (no staff, no patients).

-- Sophia finding someone to adopt her baby and then that couple bailing already is ridiculous.

-- Leo's behavior with Doug3 is different than with every other hot young guy on the show. I can't stand his lecherous act with guys, but the way he treats Doug3 is completely out of character and ridiculous.

-- Johnny and Chanel just reconciled and already they're talking about having a baby? Ridiculous.

I do not have faith that these last couple months under RC will be anything but trash.

Abe figured out that Nurse Whitley (the woman who kidnapped him and got him hooked on the soap in the first place) was the one who poisoned the cast.  She used soap twitter and the Salem universe's version of our own Jason47 to track the location of the actors.  Her motive was her dislike of the direction of the show, which was used as a device to ridicule fans who would dare to dislike RonC's creative vision.

Justin threatened to sue the production due to Bonnie's accident on set, so it was decided that Salem was an unsafe workplace and the show is moving back to Los Angeles.  Leo was fired as headwriter.  Hattie and Seth are relocating to LA.  Alex is staying in Salem to help Stephanie save the hospital from bankruptcy (using her incredible PR skills).   Joy is undecided about the move, but Bonnie is staying put until she heals.  While Johnny and Chanel have refocused on having a baby, after reconciling earlier in the day.

Yeah… I guess it’s good that the Aremid and Fake Rafe stuff is being tied together, that way they can end at the same time. It’s still needs to end though, hopefully with Fake Rafe and Rachel Sr. being killed off for good.

Btw, isn’t Rachel Sr. supposed to be like 100?

And yeah, I know we’re supposed to be on Jada’s side but I thought she was annoying today. There were so many better ways for them to possibly pair her and Shawn together 

Brady and Belle’s scenes were good. I liked the conversations that they had. But, at the same time, I thought they could’ve been better. That stupid joke music that played over some of their scenes was unnecessary and, in a way, diminished them. I still love their relationship though. I just think they need to write Belle as less of a dick.

And I liked the Kiriakis family scenes too, and the way that this storyline is continuing to be built up. I really hope it’s huge and explosive when the secret comes out. I’m very interested in seeing how the new writers would handle it.

I hate those kind of storylines lol even more than you hate guns.

This is the fourth time Ron’s done this type of storyline and it’s gotten crueler and nastier every time. I hope I’m wrong about this one though 

One of the reasons why I think there might have been some interference in this storyline. Since when does Leo not sexually harass a hot straight guy?

I also expected him to be blackmailing Doug III about the necklace, especially after he and Javi broke up. 

The subtle shade was very satisfying

Today's episode i only cared about Jada stuff I enjoyed her and fake Rafe confrontation scenes together especially when she slapped him for trying to get aggressive with her and then Jada figuring out about how Belle had been sleeping with EJ again after Shawn mentioned Belle and Ej sleeping together was also interesting and I'm interested in how fake Rafe will cover his tracks now since he is worried Jada could find out he isn't really Rafe

I would think Rachel would be older than Maggie. Even Julie's age is a stretch.  She was introduced as someone who knew John as a young priest implying she was quite a bit older than both John and Marlena.  I don't think Stefano was necessarily younger than Rachel. That whole backstory is a moot point now because it was of course changed, but I would guess Rachel to be at least a decade older than John/Marlena putting her roughly at 80-85.  I consider Maggie more of a contemporary to John and Marlena.  Considering all the work she had done due to her scarring I suppose it's possible Rachel just looks young, but there's no way she's not in her 80's at this point.  Both Peter and Kristen should be nearing their 60's by now in real time.

Kristen should be old enough to be EJ's mother, but EJ was Sorased by a gigantic amount, as he was born the year after Will Horton.  So we can't really base anything on EJ's age.
But also, Kristen was younger than John Black when they were in their first storyline together when she was still a social worker and hadn't yet shown signs of sociopathy -- she was maybe 8 or 10 years younger than John.
I suppose Rachel Blake at 80-85 and Kristen "nearing 60s" works.

Casey Moss (JJ), on set with Matthew Ashford (Jack) & Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), in what appears to possibly be a cast photo shoot in preparation for the 60th anniversary this fall?! This would be their first cast shoot since 2020, and their first since transitioning from NBC to Peacock in 2022.

Yeah, I was taking Belle, Brady, and of course EJ's Sorasing out of the equation.  None of it will make sense.

I would agree Kristen was 8-10 years younger than John, but I believe Peter was her older brother.  With the very minimal knowledge we have about the Blakes, Rachel was married to their father and both children seemed planned.  There's no indication Rachel was a teen mother or anything.   I also took into to consideration that Stefano doesn't generally go after much younger women in the way someone like Victor did.  

So basically considering Eileen is 65, Jason Brooks is 58, and Stacy is 56 nearing 60 seemed fair.  If Rachel had the kids between 20-28 ish 80 seems like a pretty generous estimation of her age.  And that is my hypothetical math on trying to play the wacky "how old is everyone in Salem" game.

yes DAYS filmed Halloween a few weeks ago, and DAYS is filming November 2025 now, so those *might be* spoilers as to cast and wardrobe.
Edit, but you have a point, it *might be* preparation for a big cast photoshoot.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
