DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh.

Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral.

Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice.

By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap.

DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.

Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on.
On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.

The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature.

I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.  

What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character.

And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember.

And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.
