DAYS: April 2025 Discussion Thread

[janea4old]

Sarah was deSORASed.  Or perhaps another way to say it would be: during her many years offscreen she wasn't SORASed in parallel with others the same age. 
Originally Sarah was the same age as Will's aunt Carrie.  Now she's Will's age. I think they simply cast the actress they wanted, as the character had been offscreen for many years so it might not matter to some viewers, and the actress happened to be younger than I would have expected Sarah to be. (But this is Salem and I'm trying to explain the inexplicable, so nothing I just said is actually relevant, LOL).

Ooops yes! Name was JJ (which I found odd since there's an EJ on the show too).

The Maggie/Sarah thing- I meant it as a compliment. It's realistic to me.

Oh I see. Makes sense.  Thanks! I like it better than 40-year-old people playing grandparents.

Also, he has to be JJ, because there's also a Joey in his generation.

Although, also not as unique in the Days universe when there's also an Alex and a Xander.

And thank goodness you saved yourself from the shocking ages of Ciara and her niece Claire (Ciara is Hope daughter, and Claire is Shawn's daughter, but they're almost the same age).

Time is a circle.

1st things 1st, WELCOME! 

Now, I cannot parse who you're describing. Male detectives at this time include: Shawn, JJ & really a PI now not a dick, Rafe. NONE OF THEM are DiMeras! Plus anyone who was Johnny's brother could not be Chad's & vice versa. Chad is Johnny's uncle, different generations. 

Again, and still, not sure who you mean, sorry. 

We have consensus on very few things. Ron Carlivati, Leo, ... Theresa's wig, Ken Corday, ... I think that's it. 

Like most I am a huge fan of Eileen Davidson & so it took me a very long time to accept Stacy as Kristen. However, now, I give her strong support for Kristen & for Susan Banks but she has yet to get Sister Mary Moira's voice right. 

I still call Kat F'Abby/Kat for Fake Abby because that is who she was for so long. 

Kristen has more than one note. She wants Brady. She loves her daughter, little Rachel. She wants to know what happened to her mother, Big Rachel. She loves power & money & good food & drink. She's been in trouble with the law more than once. 

Oh, yeah, commentary on your couples in your sig: Otalia, YES but Olivia & Phillip were HAWT, so yea, but, hold up, Holden & Carly?!!!!! Sorry can't go there with you. Holden & Lily and CarJack.

Paul would be the best person to come back and help Steve run it, but part of me doesn’t want them to recast either

There’s a funny, but kind of mean response to your post, so I’ll pass

Sort of mixed lol some people like her, some people don’t.

Me, personally, I think they should write her out 

[j swift]

I hope it gets a rebranding.  John Black and Steve Johnson really missed the boat the first time when they rejected the obvious name: John/John.

Speaking of which, and given Steve's past in the Merchant Marines, perhaps a boating and fishing company might be nice for Rafe and Patch?  They both live by the docks.  ChatGPT has done away with our need for private detectives.  And the lake feels like an unappreciated resource for the Salem economy.

I had completely forgotten about that sig!! lmao
I'll go and delete it, it's so old.

Thanks for the welcome

I just posted my favorite JJ scene on my IG.

DAYS, a blast from the past, 2013 & my favorite JJ scene, despite his not appearing. Still he made these donuts but they were not meant for the book club!!! This used to be a regular post on Twitter. Salvaged. "Stoned Book Club"

Jack Devereaux Jr is called JJ to differentiate him from his father Jack not his cousin Joey.

Is Joey named in honor of Jo Johnson, mother of Steve, Adrienne & Jack?

[Efulton]

Yes. As is one of Adrienne & Justin's twins.

[Contessa Donatella]

Thanks, I thought so. I kinda love that.
