DAYS: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[j swift]

Speaking of Rafe and Javi, does anyone else find it odd that they figured out that Arnold has the family ring, and they didn't seem to care.  Javi entrance story was all about how important the ring was to him, and now it is meaningless.

My overthinking fanfic would have someone taking all the family artifacts, Alice's necklace, Rafe's ring, and a jewel from the Kiriakis and Demira family to create some McGuffin.

Another missed opportunity

Reminder that a character leaving is a spoiler.  So why would it be posted in here?  You guys aren't new to this board. Discussion threads are meant for what happens ON SCREEN. Come on.  It's not that hard.

We’ve made it to Ron’s final month!

Too bad that today was a bit of a mixed bag.

Tate/Holly/Doug III was the best part though. I like the way everything was set up, even though I think they’re moving too fast with this storyline. They really should have had Tate hold on to the secret about the necklace for a while, or like try to blackmail Doug III into staying away from Holly or something, instead of immediately ratting him out to Julie. That way, it would allow the conflict, and the Tate/Doug III feud to grow a little more. But I’m looking forward to seeing what happens to them now. 

JJ and Gabi were sweet too. I would much rather have seen more of them then Javi and Leo.

And speaking of Javi/Leo… Skip.

I can’t believe the two of them had such long scenes today of them just talking bullshit, when everything else in the episode felt rushed.

Javi and Leo, Alex and Stephanie... both get excruciatingly long scenes where they have the same conversation where someone is shirtless. Ron loved these characters so much and I don't understand why. Both pairings are automatic skip for me.

[Contessa Donatella]

Javi is not a very interesting character to me. Leo I hate & not in a good soapy way. Both Alex & Stephanie are waste of time characters to me. So, the foursome you're listing is so bottom of the barrel .... However, looking for any possible good, it does make it easier to multitask. LOL

For Alex/Ben, it has to be because RSW is hot

As for Leo, I’ve always thought Ron was projecting with the character. He must see himself in Leo, though that’s kinda sad

Honestly, that obsession, was what hurt Days more than anything

Personally I think Ron's perspective on comedy in soaps is as much to blame. 

[brisbydog]

I don't find RSW hot at all, but that is all up to the individual. And absolutely Leo is a Mary Sue type insert, which is even worse.

Billy Flynn's cakes be cakin' today in them jeans.

I wish they were playing this Javi/Leo relationship as Javi being pathetic and desperate for love, and that's why he's clinging on to a pushing 50 pervert loser from hell. As it stands, their material is revolting.

Unfortunately, I feel like I'm officially over Cat. I really enjoyed the climax and aftermath of the imposter story, but now we have this pushing 40 woman acting like a deranged school girl. It's very embarrassing.

Has SSH ever used a cell phone in her life? And why the heck did Tate have her personal number at the ready? 

I never saw much of her before, but I think I can say I'm a fan of Melinda Trask. If I had to write her out, I'd probably have her betray Kristen as her lawyer, and leave town with a bag of cash. If Kristen is going to stick around, she needs to lose everything. 

Holly being cutesy was age appropriate, but annoying. She reminded me of how comedian Jessica Kirson makes fun of how happy/young people talk.

Of all the scenes to skip today, make it Cat and Chad.

Isn't the idea of a dream girl who is gorgeous, but also loves sports, a bit passé?

And Chad grows a brain for three seconds to brainstorm about Clyde, then gets completely distracted.  Also, those sets/kitchens are so small, it is a wonder that they don't spill mustard on each other more often. 

Also, it is a pet peeve when there is no resolve of the Friday cliffhanger on the following Monday.

Also, it's very odd and unfortunate we haven't had Chad react to anything going on with EJ/Kristen and their machinations. 

This reminded me, it made me irrationally annoyed when she said Felicity was upstairs. Upstairs where? On the roof? Cause you live in a basic apartment, you nitwit.

Besides, DAYS' timing is off. MLB Opening Day isn't until Thursday of this week. The idea of any fan losing her mind over a spring training game is absurd.
