DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

So many pregnant women tumbled down those stairs lol

Also, Days don't give me flashbacks of the awesome Penthouse!!!!  It makes me sad to not have that amazing set anymore.

Notably Nicole! Haha.

THAT is a damn penthouse.... not the box Marlena is forced into now. I wish we had that set back... even without the staircase.

[carolineg]

Didn't Jen fall too?  Or did Jen fake push Nicole?  JEN was involved in some way.

I don't even want to talk about Marlena's home overrun with family and no kitchen or dining room so everyone eats on the couch!!!

The staircase sorta made the set IMO.

Town square stairs: Nicole claimed that Jennifer pushed her but actually Nicole simply fell.  (I think? ? ? ) .  Nicole claimed that the fall caused her miscarriage but actually she had just miscarried before the fall. (I think? ? ?)

Jennifer fell off the balcony from the Bistro or from just outside the Bistro (Bistro was on second floor at that time), and that fall put Jennifer in the coma during the timejump year.

Gwen was involved in a fall storyline but I try to forget about Gwen, so I don't remember anything about it.

Yes, the staircase made the set, but if that stops us from getting it back at some point, I'm OK losing it; I feel like the staircase is somewhat in use, via the DiMera mansion. And I'm sorry, but it still baffles me we got the DiMera redesign and nothing since then.

Seeing Christie Clark back was amazing. Her scenes with Marlena were excellent.

[asafi]

Wow... today's scenes with Christie and Deidre? I'm speechless. Carrie’s return to Salem came under such heartbreaking circumstances, but it was incredibly emotional - felt like real closure between Carrie, John, and Marlena. And you could tell those tears from both actresses were 100% real. John’s memorial is going to wreck us. tissues will definitely be needed

I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago.

They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago.

I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.

Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son.

Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986.

Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.

Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline

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.)

Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)

Tuesday: I loved that Melinda/Sophia/Sophia's mom scene where Melinda told them about her own teenage pregnancy and giving her up, and Haley's death.  I thought it was a great choice to include Melinda in this adoption story, at least just for today.  Tina Huang is always great whenever she's used.  I hope she sticks around under the new writers.  You need supporting characters like Melinda. 

Wednesday: All of Carrie's scenes with Marlena and John were so good and emotional.  "You are my daughter.  And you are John's daughter as well." ".....family is who sits in your heart, who brings you to life, who makes it worthwhile, and you, my darling girl, will always be our daughter."

     Loved Abe's scene with John too.  I smiled when Abe called John "partner."  I started watching DAYS in 1993, so Abe/John will always be "partner" for me, not Abe/Roman or Steve/John.  "I'm so honoured to stood up for you. I'm holding out that my son will marry your granddaughter, and we will stand up for them together.....because we're family, John. Family. You always will be. Always."      God, such a good script today.

Probably Kmc as Robin on GH?  Not trying to deny Christie any love because she's amazing and beautiful and fantastic.

[Taoboi]

Same.

 

Cool.
