DAYS: March 2026 Discussion Thread

I am all caught up again and have a few thoughts to share:

• nü Rachel is a good actor. However, I still do not get the storyline, and I still want to punch the character.

• The harsh blue light, especially at Salem PD, is so artificial and off-putting. I wish they would never use it again.

• Ari and Liam have zero chemistry. ZERO. Hank should have been a Nathan recast because we are going nowhere with Liam real fast.

• Emily O'Brien works better this time around as Gwen than she did the first time, and a Hell of a lot better than she ever did as Theresa.

• Noel Maxam's influence as co-executive producer is evident. You can sense him shifting things, both in terms of production and writing, whereas it felt like Janet Spellman just stuck her finger up herself and prayed something would stick. The difference a true producer makes. I can only hope that he modifies the music, as the decades-old generic music requires a change.
