DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

I know this really has nothing to do with the episode, but Tori's reasoning for keeping Paul from John was always dumb to me.   She found out he was a priest and didn't want to burden him?  Lol.  Ma'am, this man already had children when he became a priest (again in 1995).  I don't think he would have had a problem with baby Paul, especially since Paul is way more awesome than his other children.

Her whole explanation was pretty dumb

The writers really should’ve consulted Jason47 or another Days expert before they wrote the reasons for Paul’s existence, and why John never knew about him.

Luckily, Christopher Sean got me to overlook it

These writers had me by crying like a bitch today. I loved literally every scene! We are being invited to watch high stakes emotional drama that has me glued to the screen. Great acting all around. Applause, applause!

Maggie really has went ridiculously easy on Xander through the years, so to see her turn on him so ferociously was delicious. The beauty of it all, is now Xander has become the underdog, which puts him in a great place to watch as a viewer. 

I'd like to see Sarah and Brady be built up as a strong male/female friendship, just like I think could work between Gabi/Alex as well.

There's a sick sort of irony in the (presumed) fact that amidst all this drama with Xander (a Kiriakis) in connection to John/Marlena and the Bradys, a DiMera (EJ) will stand to gain from it. The real villain of the piece swooping in when their attention and vitriol is elsewhere.

Today's episode was really good. I love the way they've transformed Xander into a true villain. I never cared for him but the actor is doing a great job with this material. I also feel like Linsey Godfrey is killing it as Sarah opposite him. I hope they continue in this direction. I also am one of the few who loves John Paul Lavoisier as Phillip and I hope they keep him around in a regular capacity.

The John stuff was very sad to watch. On one hand you think it's typical Days but knowing that Drake is gone and seeing the actors pain felt so real. I'm glad they're doing him justice. The flashbacks were perfectly placed and each character was given a moment to reflect on their relationship with John. I can't wait to see how this develops.

Even when they mentioned the possession, it was still heaped in emotional truth, which I was relieved by. I also meant to state, I'm loving the classic soap opera direction the show has employed in a couple scenes lately. The first I noticed it was when Sarah was in the doorway talking to Xander, and again in the chapel scenes. The perfect blend of dark and light to make the scene feel correctly atmospheric.

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week -- that before taping this, she had recently started taking acting classes again, and had been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
