DAYS: Weekly Discussion; For the week of June 2, 2008

I loved the John/Ava scenes. Best part of the show--but, unfortunately, that's not saying much. Too many flashbacks, too much yelling by Lucas, and too much of Chelsea and Daniel.

Nicole's a brave girl to attempt to blackmail EJ. Or maybe a stupid girl.

Sometimes I think we've got a different set of writers from one day to another. Today felt so much different then yesterday but not necessarily better.

Again, too many flashbacks. To the writers, we remember that Max is acting like a fool and that he's moody and that he's got issues with working on Nick's stuff behind his back . We don't need another flashback to that.

The best part of Stax today was Stephanie calling Nick at the end. I'm afraid I might be regretfully thinking how much I prefer a Stick relationship and all this bonding they have been doing lately isn't helping.

It seems Lexie and Daniel are back to normal for the most part, BFF where she seems to tell him everything including her cycle, but the hug was for Chelsea's benefit. I'm not sure what the point was for Daniel to confess to Chelsea he's been seeing another woman and then make it sound he wasn't seeing her today. I'm also tired of hearing him break up with her before he dates her adn I'm tired of Chelsea saying she will leave him alone. I find this pairing the worst on teh show right now and I'm actually willing to root for Lexie to have yet another affair so Chan won't come about. That is pretty sad.

I see Lucas is back to yelling. I've been tired of Lucas since he came back, but this whole arrest because he was dumb enough to leave the door open and leave her alone and she hops up and runs out like a marathon running is too far fetched for me. Nicole being in some of the scenes was the only way I could watch some of it.

Not sure I like Victor telling Philip who he can see or not but I'm fine with him throwing Chloe out. If he could kick her out of town (or set her up with Daniel) I'd be more than grateful.

Today I felt like I was watching a JER written episode........... :stars:


Well, Higley and JER are very similar writers...

If Higley were smart, she'd cash in on the chemistry between Daniel and Lexie and pair them up, but unfortunately, I think we're just in for more Daniel/Chelsea torture instead.

Nicole supposedly has been showing real feelings for EJ, so why would she change her mind the next day to rat him out to Lucas or Sami. Most characters on this show must have bi-polar disorders because they change their minds almost every episode. The show is seriously lacking a clear focus and this week has just been average, now 2 weeks of characters talking around town, something needs to be done to shake up the show! OLTL is clearly better and it makes me mad watching other soaps like DAYS is currently which doesn't seem to really try and bring it on a weekly basis. Can the writers not just do their damn jobs and entertain me?!

She didn't change her mind. She's toying with him and ends up blackmailing him tomorrow. Ari also said in an interview that it allows Nicole to control him in a sense. It's playful. I like it. Just one of the reasons they rock together.

I didn't see today as a JER-like episode at all, with the exception of the long flashbacks which were such a waste of time. We only seem to see them once a week so I'm beginning to think it depends on who writes certain episode. I'm going to start paying more attention to that to see if it's the same writer doing this.

I'm so happy they seem to hinting at Lexie/Daniel. I have to admit that the last two days have me wondering if Lexie and Daniel are already having an affair and it will be revealed as a shock down the line. Daniel acted all playful yesterday and Lexie had said "We've been having fun together, right?" There are little clues that make me wonder but I like it. I'm enjoying the nice build of the Abe/Lexie story with Theo and I even enjoyed Chelsea and Daniel today as they focused on Daniel and his feelings.

Victor/Philip was awesome. I love that there is tension there. Hope to see more of it. Philip is becoming Victor more and more Victor mentioned today how much he hates to see Philip becoming him and I love this. Philip lost his love (Belle) and gave up on her (a la Victor/Caroline) and now he is going further and further to the dark side. I see Philip getting further and further into this, thinking he can handle it, like he told Victor today, and ending up getting into a world of trouble. Loving this.

John and Ava was so much fun. This is why I wish Days would just write good stories and give a big fat fuck you to the fanbases. Tamara and Drake were so good together and it made so much sense given who both characters are and what they've been through for them to come together. There is so much good story here. Loved them today.

Stax was a waste but I am enjoying Max this week going off on people. Much more interesting then seeing him sit around.

I also enjoyed Sami/Chloe today. I like that Chloe seems to be trying to make amends and now it makes some sense out of why she interacts with Lucas. It's all part of her trying to make amends for the Brady thing and she also wants more friends then Philip. Enjoyed their scenes.

Lucas/Sami/EJ also had some juice today as it focused a bit more on the children, which added something more to it. I found myself sympathizing with all sides, which is good.

It was a solid episode today. The show seems to be slowly getting going again as we build to summer.

As much as I want Daxie, the last thing I want for Lexie is another affair story.

This is unrelated to the week's episodes, but I just read that Ali Sweeney/Ari Zuker/Nadia Bjorlin will be presenting at the Daytime Emmy Awards.

Kick ass! I can just see the three of them vamping it up on stage.

Wow! I might actually watch the Emmys for that!

Oh, and it bothered me today that Sami treats Chloe like such a pirahna. God knows Sami could use a few friends, and what a damn hypocrite that she finds Chloe so unforgivable.

Other than that, I liked todays show!
I so can't wait to see John and Ava interact. I like when character associate with people outside their typical "storyline" and I think that is why I am looking forward to Lucas and Chloe so much. When was the last time Lucas had a scene that didn't involve his momma or Sami?

Other than the Stax crap, I am really liking the show!
And what is it about OLTL that everyone keeps talking about...I really don't need another damn soap to watch, but I might just check it out to see what the hype is! Is it really that good?

So i'm caught up..Wednesdays show wasn't very good, minus Nicole scenes (mainly because i can enjoy anything she does)..I would be open to Lexie and Daniel, but not until Lexie and Abe decide to split up...I'm so over Daniel and Chlesea, a flirtation was fine..But Chelsea does not need to stalk a guy, its just gotten pathetic..

Thursdays show had some good moments: Nicole making fun of Lucas (so funny), Chloe vs. Sami, Victor going off on Phillip, and John and Ava (who i'm very intrigued by)..But what the fuck are these writers thinking throwing in 4 longass flashbacks..I think that was how many..2 stax flashbacks, a lexie/abe flashback, and the lucas flashback...So lazy and unnecessary..Especially when you have so many cast members on a show..Get your shit together Dena, you need focus..

OLTL is by far and away the best soap on the air. Higley ruined OLTL for me but RC has turned the soap around 100%

I agree the flashbacks are lazy and unnecessary but do they really bring the show down as much as it seems they do for some? I know I just tend to ignore them LOL. I mean, it seems we get one episode a week (sometimes two) that has this happening, which is why I'm going to start paying attention to each episode's writer. This is one reason why I hate smaller writing team's in this day and age because if things pile up, you are going to feel compelled to go to filler and that may just be what happens. Maybe they get caught up in another episode or something so they toss a ton of flashbacks in. Not an excuse. Just saying. I, personally, just ignore it and focus on the rest of the episode, which was quite enjoyable. As long as this doesn't transpire everyday like during JER's tenure, I don't see it as a major issue. It's an annoyance, sure, but not a major problem...yet. Ir definitely doesn't bring down the good things about the episode, which definitely outweigh the bad IMO.

God, I know we asked for more romance, but do Philip and Chloe have to fuck in every episode? It's like we have to ask for one extreme or the other. There's no middle ground. And it's still the same damn night. Philip and Chloe have just banged five times in one night. And they're still moving around, not tired at all. It's laughable.


But then again, so is this show now.
Fuck in every episode? Wasn't the sex on Mondays show their second time? Someone said it was the 100 time, nice exaggerated

Whoever is in charge of the house-photos are doing a horrible job using them. The DiMera Mansion was a few weeks ago used as the Kiriakis Mansion but on Tuesdays show it was used as the DiMera Mansion again. And they have used two different photos for the hospital instead of just using the one they always did in the past.

Nick: "what do you want Chelsea?"

Awesome line, Nick!! I think this is all a plea for Chelsea to get Nick back, and I really hope he doesn't give in.

Dammit, I spoke too soon. I think that's exactly how things are gonna go down
