DAYS: April 2025 Discussion Thread

She's okay.  She can be good sometimes and other times I am like what is the energy you are channeling?  Ex.  the Renee story and her tendency to baby talk.

I do think her styling is odd for a Dr. and I don't like her hair at all, but that's just me not liking it.  I don't think she's ugly or awful.

Please never look that story up for your own mental health lol

I don't think LG's styling is flattering for her at all, but if she likes it and feels comfortable I suppose it's fine.  I think a Dr. should just look slightly more put together.  She doesn't have to wear Marlena blazers but maybe a few less tiny tees and baggy pants.

Granted I haven't regularly watch since it moved to Peacock and SOD stopped being print, but they had a fanbase. Typical good (if neurotic) girl meets bad boy. And they used to have chemistry. That said...I also am not feeling her mousy hair. Perhaps if she was redish in her hair.

*walking in with Stefano Dimera swagger* We are soooo back. lol.

 

Like I said earlier...I haven't been a regular watcher (or have not been able to keep up) since DAYS moved to Peacock and SOD stopped being a print mag. And from what I heard, I didn't have much desire to. Except to peek in here and there. So I said I would wait until the new writers came in since it felt like a good starting point. Funnily enough I do believe that means that I haven't been a regular viewer since the 50th and/or RC's first year or so on the show. 

 

This might be a bit scattered so early apologies. But I liked the first episode.

 

I always have a soft spot for 'Sweetness' so I liked that my first episode back was centered around her in a way. And I take it that Steve and Stephanie are currently the only Johnsons in town. 

 

I was VERY pleased to see JJ was back in town. And it seems permanent this time around. And he's with GABI? They had potential the last time I regularly watched so good to see that relationship was circled back around to. 

 

I was also pleased to hear that Susan was alive. I heard she died. How has she been alive if no one minds me asking?

 

ED is my Kristen, though I've always loved SH as an actress dating all the way back to Superboy and Kindred the Embraced. And she seem and looked great today in her scenes. And it seems like I've tuned back in for her to start a scheme to get the company back. I'm intrigued.

 

Looking forward to the fallout with EJ shooting. And I liked the scenes of Kayla telling him who had been by to visit him. 

 

Well I liked Xander and Sarah as a couple from the little I saw, and this seems like a good secret she is keeping. Good to see Maggie as the talk-to and trying to subtly work on Xander. 

 

So this is THE Kat? I see it. She dressed and acts just like Abigail so I can see why she got casted in that story. And Flynn has aged since I've seen him last. Still looks good just surprised.

 

I was worried about how small the sets would look to my eyes, but thankfully it did not seem to bug me today. 

 

I only feel sorry that I didn't see Marlena tbh.

Susan originally "died" in a fiery car crash off a cliff caused by Ava, but Clyde had kidnapped her and sent her to her ex-husband Edmund, who kept her captive.

Today was a long one. 48 minutes.

There seemed to be a lot more depth and emotion throughout the entire episode, particularly in the Rafe/Jada scenes. Plus, those scenes didn’t feel rushed or treated like a big joke and that’s always a good thing. And Elia Cantu always does a pretty good job when she plays Jada’s scenes as though she’s hurt and heartbroken as opposed to angry and nasty. Rafe accepting a job offer out of town was a surprise too. Is he really leaving? Or is he gonna change his mind at some point?

I was a little confused by Gabi today though. She was acting like Philip and Xander took over Dimera like months ago, as opposed to just last week. Gabi asking Brady to intercede with Philip and Xander on her behalf could lead to something interesting happening, especially with the way that he responded to it. For the first time in a long time, he didn’t seem so weak and wimpy. Btw, Gabi’s new office set isn’t bad either lol

And I still can’t help but think that EJ is only pretending to try to be a better person but I enjoyed his scenes with Belle. I also enjoyed her scenes with Johnny and the way that she comforted him. Johnny’s confession was a surprise too. And it totally makes sense considering everything that’s happened lately. It could be some pretty good conflict for him and Chanel. 

The cliffhanger at the end was pretty good too. And I’m glad that it’s going to lead in to the storyline that we’ve all been waiting for since 2023

Overall, I’m impressed. Paula/Jeanne really have hit the ground running. This all has me excited for next week already!

Well Xander and Sarah have a 6 year history where they have built up a loyal fan base. I won't comment on you dragging the actresses looks, that should never be a factor. They have always been a deeply flawed couple where each of them makes mistakes but the through line has always been that they truly love each other

Cat and Chad have been slow building for months.

First, welcome!! DAYS is a traditional soap for me, so I am in it up to here unless I happen to be "taking a break".

Well, as you  might recall, they (IMO stupidly) killed Adrienne. Technically Jack is a Johnson & sometimes he is in Salem although his permanent residence now is Boston.

I love that you are a Kindred fan. I am one, too!!!

I still call her F'bby for Fake Abby.

I really missed Julie, too.

Yeah, I have to agree Xander/Sarah have a strong fanbase.  Outside of Ben/Ciara, they are the only younger couple that's had any traction with the audience over the last few years. 

They also tend to have some of the sillier plotlines (Renee) and LG seems to get fired or leave every other year, so I think that's why the consistency of their story is off sometimes.  I still find them rootable for the most part even if I do think they are toxic for each other.

Paul was thrilled that with the obvious separation coming with this plot that Linsey kept her job. He always says it makes far more sense for Sarah to be in town than Xander.

I'm excited to see a Xarah story not written by Ron. Paul said to expect more mature writing with the new regime.

I agree with that regarding Sarah vs. Xander staying in town.  Sometimes I am surprised Xander is still viable.

It will be interesting to see a Xarah story written by a new team because as I said I think LG especially gets thrown off by the wackiness of some of their plots.  Maturity would be a lovely thing for them.

So I watched Wednesday's episode and... I enjoyed it a lot!

The production values were not bad at all IMHO. And the actors- I was shocked they were able to pull off that quality with their crazy taping schedule. My hat's off to them. Looking forward to watching more from the new regime.

    • I also like how they've set up all the pieces where they could do yet another "shocking Gio parentage reveal" in another year or so if they want to. Because it's not at all implausible that teenage BLQ would have sexually experimented with both Dante and Cody. So if they want another violin-smashing moment next year, just have Gio find out that Cody is his real bio-dad.
    • I agree, also am able to see various points of view. Lulu, Lois & I think the two of them are going to rival one another for the heat they are going to take. 
    • When you think about it, someone who stayed on for as long as Devon must have some fans out there. She also had an alcohol issue. I saw a host of episodes with her and Cliff on YouTube. I wanna say that’s who Cliff was entertaining while Nina had the affair with Steve.  Do you believe she lasted so long because Brooke left and they kept recasting Nina?

    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  It shows you just what a unique and memorable performer Denise Alexander was that I can see her in these moments and hear her even though I've never watched any of the material. On paper it probably wasn't up to much, but I do wish I could see her playing it. Meanwhile, the Diana material continues to seem like one plate of ass after another...I was thinking she had finally been able to move on with the therapy breakthrough, but then we're right back with her believing Peter and Leslie are having an affair. I don't know how much further off the material is that made Valerie Starrett leave, but I can't blame her.  I see less and less of Jessie anywhere in this - is this when Emily's health troubles were starting to phase her out of story? Going a few summaries back, writing out Lee, Caroline, her son and his wife seems so rushed. It's a shame Marland, or whoever, killed off all of them (aside from Lee), as they might have given Lee some story down the line. Or maybe the daughter-in-law survived too - I can't remember.
    • Thanks!  I compiled the list and posted it for the 59th anniversary in November, but just made the updates now for the couple of new cast members we've had since then! Didn't realize until I did the update that Peyton is the first-ever contract actor born in Nevada, so that's another state off the 0 list!
    • What I love about this story is that I can empathize with both Lulu's point of view AND Lois's point of view. I can understand why Lulu thinks it's important for the truth to come out and why she feels a moral obligation to let Dante know he has a son. But these good intentions have gotten all mixed up with her hatred for BLQ, and so she's going about it like a self-righteous bully who hasn't thought through all the consequences of this reveal. And I can understand Lois's thought process keeping this secret. She couldn't bear to give her grandson away to strangers, and so she arranged an adoption that kept him in the family. From her perspective, it's worked out beautifully because as Gio grew up as a "Palmieri cousin", he got to know his father Dante, his mother Brook Lynn, and his grandfather Sonny. She just had the hubris to believe that she could play God and keep the secret forever.  Maybe it's just getting to see Cynthia Watros and Laura Wright in full-on catfight mode a few days ago, but the show is starting to remind me of Guiding Light in its heyday, where most of the drama comes from the interactions of long-running characters who are likeable in some ways but have enough fatal flaws that they create their own problems. That's a sharp contrast for the way GH has generally been written since the JFP era, where most of the drama comes from external threats: supervillians, Sweeps month disasters, the mob shootout of the week. 
    • Wow, @JAS0N47, that list of states was impressive! And I never knew that James Read hailed from near me! (I was born and raised in a nearby city, about 15 minutes away!) (Liked him since he played Murphy Michaels on Remington Steele when I was a kid. As an older kid, I also loved him on North and South!)
    • Oh, I remember this vividly! So trippy to see Mike Brady as a devil-worshiping judge. LOL! (With the mustache and curly hair in some pics, Reed seemed to have a surface resemblance to early-Jeopardy Alex Trebek!)
    • This makes Karen, now this & a guy on Facebook named Brent Costel. Sony is really deleting so many files.
