DAYS: March 2025 Discussion Thread

Tate has Julie's number because he is on his father's (actually Grandfather John's) cell plan.

Plus, I am pro more texting and calling in soaps.  They visit each other for dumbest reasons.

I mean, the band quitting a lame excuse when your family knows Savanah Wilder for rock bands, or Melissa Horton as a Nashville connection.

If they didn't waste time with all the unnecessary exposition, they could have threw in a line about him getting her number from his grandma Marlena. So easy.

I thought Savannah gave all that up to go be with Chris

Also, allegedly, Julie's number is still written on the stall at Salem High School.

I don't think she would have went there since she grew up in the "tonier part of town called Wycliffe Heights."

So, the secret’s out.

I didn’t dislike the reveal, but I wish they had played it out for a little longer. Tate and Doug III have barely had any scenes together, and no time to really let their rivalry grow lol. Immediately jumping into the reveal like this feels a little weird. But I’m curious to see what’s going to happen now, especially when it comes to Holly. Maybe we’ll finally get a brawl

Doug III and Julie’s confrontation was really good. SSH did play it a little hammy, but at the same time, I found it interesting. PM did pretty well too, especially in his final scene. I wonder where their relationship is going to go from here.

And yeah, Brady’s still a little bitch. I don’t blame Ava for dumping his ass. At least give your kid a slap, man lol. Hopefully, the character will get a reset in the next few months because at the moment, idk how he’s gonna carry on John’s legacy.

Speaking of John, Marlena and Steve reminiscing about John was really nice as well. It’s little moments like that that I really love about soaps. 

And, it turns out that Rita also had a hand in old Rachel’s disappearance. That might mean something somewhere down the line.

2 basic questions, because I'm not that into today's episode.

1. When they eat at those tables in the square, is that exclusively for The Bistro?  Or could Sweet Bits customers eat there as well?  Because aren't they outside the window of the Pub (which is also open for breakfast)?
   1. Why do people in Salem want to eat outside by a dock?  It has to have an unpleasant smell, given its proximity to the waste from so many local retail businesses.
2. In their universe, Gwen doesn't resemble Theresa, correct?  So, Gwen couldn't return undercover as Theresa by just tossing on a wig?  And I mean literally tossing on a wig.

They played Ava dumping Brady all wrong for me. They should have let her hand him his ass by telling him how she lost all respect for him by how he's handled things, especially his demented brat of a daughter. On the other hand, Ava toying with EJ was much more fun. 

I thought SSH was great. Julie IS over the top so it works for me, and there were honestly moments I was almost scared for poor Dougie.

No, they aren't supposed to resemble each other, same as Ben and Alex aren't. 

I really liked the necklace stuff today. I agree that they could've had Tate hold onto this secret a little longer, but the confrontation between Julie and Doug did feel earned. Dare I say, I'm finding this to be a decent little story for the younger set. I like the level at which they're using Tate, Holly, and Doug at the moment.

When Julie said, "I know." MAN! What a moment & only 2 words. SSH killing it!! If the Doug 3 actor were better  it woulda coulda shoulda been amazing. As it was it was still very strong. Excellent reveal. How mad was Julie? How mad is it possible to be?
