Nov. Sweeps The Riff Raff Out At DOOL...

Eric, Stefan & Fiona have been shipped off to new adventures away from Salem.

Newbie Javi gave NuGabi & especially Rafe some much needed family energy.

Newbie Joy seems to have seduced Rockin' Johnny from Chanel for 1 nite only.

Brady is now free as a bird & hanging out at Ava's cozy bird feeder.

"Body & Dull" seems to be sucking up lots of airtime with very little payoff.

Discuss.

Am I the only one tired of EJ? I don’t know if it’s the new actor or what. Stacy Haiduk definitely need to go. There are a few other people who should be offloaded as well. I wonder what they’ll do with Dee now. She doesn’t really do anything except with John. Dee may either face being cut or just standing around collecting a paycheck. I doubt they’ll ever replace Hogestyn. That pretty much leaves the new cast front and center and they never last long. Kayla is a boring character. If the show was smart they would cast older actors, actors they know who won’t go ditching the show. The young crowd is so freakin boring. They need a new Stefano. Not that character but someone in that vein. EJ is not cutting it. He’s no Stefano or Victor. Peggy McCay is not a good actress nor is her character interesting. Stop trying to make the Hernandezes happen!

I have no idea what look NuEJ was going for. The long jacket with a thick sherpa collar just looked weird inside. Did he think it was going to snow?

Jim Reynolds (Abe) knows how to dress and looks great for 78.

Judi Evans has her arm in a sling.

The two gay boys, Colton LIttle and Al Calderon, both dressed .......... gay!

The young actress with Down's is everyone's favorite little sweetheart. ♥️

Corday was all over King Rob and Queen Dee. And are they a couple? LOOL! No, seriously.

Body & Soul would have been better as a short arc than this ongoing storyline.

But when Days plays the Body & Soul storyline, it generally takes up the entire episode. It's not like B&S is one of several plots running that day. B&S and its offshoots like problems in Johnny and Chanel's marriage take up the full episode. YAWN! That's why B&S is really hurting the show a lot. And apparently why Ron got fired.

by Anonymousreply 109November 9, 2024 2:53 PM

When the show is shot six months ahead, and the writing is even further out than that, you have to make some wild guesses about what will hit with the audience and what will not.

What has worked for soaps for most of their history is that they can quickly respond to audience reaction. Days no longer has that luxury.

Ron is far from perfect and doesn't always write the kind of soap opera I like, which is old-school 70s slow-paced, long scenes, melodrama that plays out over years instead of weeks, but I sincerely believe that he loves the genre and doesn't want to hurt it. In his mind, he probably thought that a campy storyline about a soap within a soap where he could go over the top and exorcise some demons would be a fun escape for the audience.

He miscalculated. He miscalculated on a lot of stuff, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Alaar messed with some of his previous stories and he got the blame. However, B&S is all on him, and like the rest of you, I believe that was what did him in. My two positives about Ron, he loves soap opera and he can write the fuck out of special episodes, like anniversaries.

My only wish for Days is to just go back to being a soap opera. No jokes, no camp, just plain whose the daddy, switched babies, and bad girls pulling the wool over the eyes of stupid men in love with the town good girl.

Funny you think of responding to viewers as a luxury r110.

I’ve thought for a while that soaps should STOP listening to often reactive social media. Online forums tend to jump to conclusions and be overall impatient.

I think soaps need to focus on writing good stories.

Write some bibles for the next 3-5 years. Don’t let an actors whim to leave affect the story; recast when necessary. CREATE GOOD STORIES AND TELL THEM START TO FINISH WITHOUT INTERFERENCE is my wish. And stick to their vision.

by Anonymousreply 112November 10, 2024 12:55 AM

[quote]Funny you think of responding to viewers as a luxury [R110].

To me, there is a difference between allowing fans to dictate story and making story adjustments to stop viewer erosion and/or a negative reaction to a particular story. All writers do that and have done that to some degree forever. Days can't adjust because they're too far ahead. I would never tell a writer to nix a story based on negative fan reaction, but if they were six weeks out like other shows, Ron could have made tweaks to calm the waters. Volumes could be written on the number of soap stories that were adjusted due to viewer feedback.

by Anonymousreply 113November 10, 2024 1:35 AM

Agree that letting fans....or actors.....have too much weight in input on a story can be negative. It's a tricky balance.

But as R113 said, there's also been cases where feedback was good - either to stop a storyline that was tanking, or in some cases, to change story when a soap realized some recurring actor or guest was good and needed to be added to the show. Many cases of that. I think Patch was supposed to be a temp role before the producers saw him on screen and/or saw him and MBE together.

by Anonymousreply 115November 10, 2024 3:25 AM

R114: Patch had been skulking around Salem for close to a year when they cast Mary Beth Evans. But your point is taken -- he was not intended to be a long-term character, just some sleazy, kinda-scary guy who worked for Savannah Wilder & Victor (whom he called "The Big Greek", ha). IIRC, they originally intended to kill him off at the end of the Miami storyline -- an epic November-sweeps spectacle.

by Anonymousreply 116November 10, 2024 9:18 PM

Thanks R116, I knew it was something like that.

Same with Vincent Irizarry on GL. As I understand it, he was brought on initially as a random gang member and within a few days they realized how good he was and decided to scrap scenes he'd already done - then the original conception of Brandon, Alex's son, was changed to cast Irizarry as "Lujack" aka Brandon Luvonechek.

[quote]Why did Julie have to say to Chad that “J.J. Devereaux is in town”, pronouncing his full name?

Those weird explanations are generally for the audience -- to remind them who someone is, especially if the person has been off screen for a while. It also helps inform the new viewer who someone is.

Using full names on soaps is a longstanding device to enlighten NuViewers or occasional viewers who may not know or recall who or how characters are related to others.

Amazon Freevee has a really neat little device to use while streaming soap opera, Neighbours. You can pull up this side screen at any time and it corresponds to the scene that's currently being played letting you know who the characters in that scene are with full name and a link to some bio info about the actor, which doesn't interfere with the streaming.

Casey Moss was born in '93 & is still 30. I would've guessed at least 45. His short hair does him no favors. He needs to grow it the length he had when he joined the show.

A musician-friend of mine knew Stephen Nichols in the early-'80s (before he landed DAYS.) They both drove part-time for a limousine/car service company in Los Angeles. However, my friend knew him & addressed him as "Christian" -- because there was already another driver (or maybe two?) named Stephen/Steve when Nichols was hired.

The limo-company asked him to choose another name to go by -- because it was just easier for the clients & dispatch. Clients couldn't remember last names, just that they liked "Dave" or "George" or whomever, and wanted that driver again if possible. So, Nichols chose to go by "Christian", because it sounded formal -- a chauffer's name.

I met Stephen once, at big a Pro-Choice rally in 1989 (Rancho Park). He immediately asked where I'd gotten my t-shirt. It was a faux-dictionary entry for the word Feminism -- "the radical notion that women are human beings." I explained that I worked at a small design & marketing company (with a t-shirt press) & had made it myself, inspired by a postcard from Sisterhood book store...so it was "one-of-a-kind", he couldn't buy it anywhere. But he still loved it, plotzed at me over it.

R187, you're half right -- Dove did attend Day of DAYS. I saw her being mobbed in the lobby with autograph and photo requests.

It was the show that brought the cutout of Li.

Actor attendance at Day of DAYS is always tricky. You can be taping at the show but not airing so you don't go; you can no longer by taping but still be on the show and go.

Dove recently wrapped up a stint. Perhaps she's coming back? If not, she was on recently enough that fans still remember her.

[quote] When Doug gave Hope the blanket, was there a story why Hope was only wearing one earring?

I don't know about any storyline reason, but back in the 80s when that scene would have been done (ca. 1987), there was a "fashion trend" where some women would only wear one earring. In other cases they'd wear two different earrings.

The other possibility is that Hope had just taken a phone call and done that old-timey move of removing her earring before putting the receiver up to her ear .. LOOL!

And just to add, if Days was doing the one earring thing, then they were doing it all wrong.

The single earring look was supposed to be one, bold, flashy earring that made a statement itself. And if you did two different earrings, then one was supposed to be very trendy looking, while the other something quite simple, like a little single stud. What you weren't supposed to do is exactly what Hope looks like .. wearing something from Alice Horton's jewelry box that makes you look like you just forgot to put the other earring on or lost it somewhere.
