Current Plots Discussion: Actually Today's Episode
Apprentice79 replied to CatLady's topic in Days Of Our Lives
I hope Sparkle is Stefano's son because it would be more interesting to see him as a Dimera than a Black..It is too bad that all of Stefano's children are not on canvas because it would be a hoot to see them all together. Stefano is not racist because he has children of every hue....lol Lexie, Benji, Chad, Tony, Renee, Kristen, Peter, EJ. Cameron(I know that he is not a Dimera, but he should have been one), The second Cameron was so delicious...The show was foolish to let him go .He and Renee Jones favored each other as Siblings... What annoys me about Adrienne is that when that special snow flake Abigail did the nasty with EJ, she was outraged that Sami had the gall to confront her husband's side piece. She needs to take several seats. I understand her anger towards Will, he was wrong, but, it irritated me that Adrienne hit him...She has never liked Will and this just reinforces her apathy towards him. I also feel that she judges him because of who his mother is; has she forgotten who her father was..Duke Johnson was not father of the year by any stretch of the imagination..Her mother Jo was a hot mess. Her siblings Jack and Steve were not saints either..Will is nothing like his mother. Sami at her worst in villainous period cannot compare to Will's infidelity and misplaced anger towards Sparkle. Victor hated her back in the day and schemed to keep her and Justin apart... If JJ were to find out that his grandfather Duke was a rapist as well, his self-loathing and feelings of worthlessness would magnify and he would commit suicide..I never understood why the show made references to Jack's awful past with Kayla, while Jack is not on the show. It would have had more impact, if Jack was alive and interacting with JJ. General Hospital did that with Luke and Lucky by revisiting Laura's rape and that storyline was awesome.... It was just another way for the show to sully his reputation while putting Dan the pervert on a pedestal.... JJ was so awesome when he used to hate on that pervert..It pains me to see that he now drinks the koolaid on how great he is..Yuck.... -

I agreed with everything that you said. Judy Evans was great today..I also loved the Wilson family portrait....I also think that Will's schemes will backfire on him and Paul will fight to get Sonny back....Will is ill prepared to face Sparkle as an opponent....Plus, if Will did anything that can be misinterpreted as being unfaithful to Sonny, while he was in LA. He will definitely lose Sonny to Sparkle.... -

There is a video of them on Jenn's tweeter, it is called reunited and it feels so good..Jen Lilley was in Boston recently filming a movie, so she was away from the set for a bit and they posted a video of them reuniting in the makeup room...lol -

Or on Another world, when Vicky cheated on Ryan with Grant because he hung up on her after an argument..Vicky thought that their relationship was over in her mind, to justify her cheating with Grant...lol Cheaters always look for a reason to excuse their behavior...Vicky's cheating was also out of character on that show too... If Sonny had been the cheater, he would have said that the stress of getting the new club together, Will and Ari being away in LA, Will's neglecting him by not communicating with him lead him to fall into temptation with Sparkle...It seemed to be that is what the writers intended to do, but, at the last minute they switched it to Will to give us that shocking twist.... -

The cast of Days do get along for the most part. They seem really cool with one another..They used to say that Kyle Lowder was gay and that Ari was his beard. They also said the same thing about Brandon Beemer and Nadia....lol....I have never understood why the powers that be hated Matthew Ashford though, some say that he was an alcoholic. Chandler pissed off his bosses when he announced at the Emmy's, that he was not re-signing with the show, when his contract was up..He caught the show by surprise .I guess they did that to him out of spite. Plus, he did not get along with some people on set and perhaps that played a part in his abrupt dismissal. I remember Deidre Hall was very pissed about his dismissal, but was very careful with her words on tweeter to not ruffle any feathers with her bosses.. However, Freddie did not seem to be broken up about Chandler leaving the show. He sent out a generic tweet...Even though, I did not agree with his dismissal, it made sense to get a new Will on the scene before marrying them off. I would have had Chandler's Will marry Sonny, if the writers intended to write both of the characters out of the show with Arianna....I was always afraid of them doing just that..Since Chandler was the lead actor in Wilson and Freddie was the supporting player. Chandler leaving gave Freddie a chance to shine in his own right.... -

I would like to say that Galen Garing's wife likes to stir the pot about the show on twitter. She needs to stop because it is off-putting and unnecessary. I know that she loves her husband and that she is trying to make sure he is relevant on the show. However, she is going about it the wrong way. She puts these tweets out that take potshots at the show, she needs to be careful because it could affect his time on the show.. I have heard that Greg Vaughn and Ari Zucker had a brief affair before she hooked up with the guy that plays Dan..She is also rumored to have had an affair with the guy that played EJ.. -

I agree with your statement. I also think this cheating storyline has hurt not only Will, but Sonny as well. I don't like Sonny being weak, indecisive, insecure with poor business skills. It made no sense that Sonny would be stupid enough to not read a contract that allowed Chad to get the upper hand...Plus, Chad was not presented as a typical Dimera. He is their best friend and was always rooting for Wilson. Why would he hurt Will and Sonny by sabotaging their finances? What would he gain from doing that... -

Will and Sparkle played baseball only once. However, when they were going for round 2, Sonny came knocking on the door and they stopped. Plus Will was initiating round 2 and that is why alot of people find it disingenuous, when he says that it only happened once...Clearly he would have continued, had Sonny not come.... I am happy that he stopped it from developing into a full-blown affair..Had it been on-going, I would be team Paulson....I remember Sparkle getting mad when Will would not sleep with him again. Plus, he mocked Will for being inexperienced with men and for only having had one partner....He challenged Will's declaration of loving his partner after sleeping with him...lol I thought Casey and Molly Burnett were once an item in real life. They broke up twice and got back together. It seems that she is now dating the actor that plays Derrick...There is and has been alot of dating and sexing on the set of Days..We all know about Melissa Reeves and the actor that once played Peter that led to her departure from the show. lol.... -

I am so glad that I am not the only person that is a fan of Guy. The amount of hate that he has received on twitter since Will cheated on Sonny has astounded me. The personal attacks about his looks have also disconcerted me as well. I think Guy is attractive, he is not ugly. His boyish looks works in the context of Will being a young man. There are people who attack Freddie for not being muscular and I think he is sexy just the way he is....Beauty is subjective anyway. The wardrobe department at DAYS needs to be fired because they make everybody look bad..I don't know if it is their limited budget that has affected that..If you look at the actors in their twitter pics, they all look so much better off the show...Greg Vaughn is delicious and the actress that plays Nicole is beautiful....Freddie looks so hot when he has a beard..Yummmy...lol Thanks for the clarification about the dressing rooms, Stormymac..I assumed that Guy and Freddie shared a room since they are always together. I do remember Chandler pushing for Will to become a darker character and to be involved with EJ and the writers refused his request...I remember thinking that he used to infuse alot of sexual tension in his scenes with EJ and I wondered if the writers would go there and have EJ and Will do the nasty..lol..That would have been a bold plot twist. At that time Will was angry at his mom and wanted to hurt her for her indiscretion with EJ. EJ was an asshole, he would not have had a problem touching Will to hurt Samantha. EJ was very lecherous and creepy in his interactions with Will, when he was his lackey. I am glad that I was not the only one that noticed Chandler's unease in romantic scenes with Freddie. Guy and Freddie go for it..There was alot of open mouth kisses between them, when Guy first came on the show..It looked like there was even some tongue action there, lol..Their first kiss onscreen as Wilson was very hot. I wondered if they told them to stop, because they don't kiss like that anymore...lol As much as I dislike Sparkle, he has chemistry with both Sonny and Will. He also sparkled with Theresa, Jordan and Abifail. Christopher is so damn sexy, that he would have chemistry with a curtain...lol...Sparkle should have been bisexual instead of gay...It would have been good to see a bisexual male character on daytime, especially since there is a stigma against them in both the gay and Straight world..With all this talk about behind the scenes drama on days, we need a thread on here to discuss them..Can the moderators on here please make it happen... -

If the show is still around in the future, I want the teen scene to consist of Ari, Sonny Jr, Sonny's nieces and nephews via his brothers, Allie, Parker. Sydney, Johnny, Nicole's kids, Eric's kids, Theresa's son, and a whole host of other kids who are not connected to the families in Salem..We need new blood to continue on with the show.... -

Guy is very charming. It does not always translate onscreen, but I like him. He has a cute video of him playing with one of the twins who play Ari. It is hilarious. The babies adore Freddie and Guy. Guy gets alot of flak from people who don't like him. The vitriol is over the top at times, but, he takes it all in stride. The friendship between Freddie and Guy seems to be genuine. They hang out together on the weekends. They share a dressing room and they even threw a barbecue together. I guess their friendship stems from the fact that when Guy got cast as Will, Freddie went out his way to welcome him to the show. They seem to be very at ease with one another in their love scenes and kissing scenes together. Whereas, Chandler always looked uncomfortable in romantic scenes with Freddie. Plus, rumor has it that they did not like each other. -

Is Joey the biological son of Philip? if he is, that means he is a Kiriakis, Johnson and Brady...lol He is another relative that Sonny and Will have in common...lol -
I feel sorry for Will as well. He is truly lost without Sonny. Sonny is really his anchor in life and he is scared of losing him for good.

Current Plots Discussion: Actually Today's Episode
Apprentice79 replied to CatLady's topic in Days Of Our Lives
I have always hated infidelity stories because it is a cheap ploy to create drama between couples. I guess I am traumatized by what was done to Viki/Clint to facilitate the pairing of Viki and Sloane and I correlate that with Wilson and Sparkle. One life to live fans on this board will know what I mean. It was horrifying to watch Viki throw Clint under the bus for that disgusting general..Clint was turned into a violent, cynical, overbearing, Homophobe to make Sloane look like a saint and more worthy of Viki's love and respect. Clint has always stood by Viki no matter what, he adopted her two sons after she lost her first husband Joe Riley. They got married and had a daughter Jessica. He stood by her and took care of her during her many mental breakdowns over the years, when she had a stroke after getting shot. He ran her father's newspaper. He loved and respected her through thick and thin..For Viki to throw that all away for a sleazy affair with Sloan, it was heartbreaking to watch because it was out of character for Viki to do such a thing. My love for Viki waned after that and the character was never the same after that..She never had a successful pairing after divorcing Clint to marry Sloane. The fans were in an uproar over this and eventually Sloane was killed off. I was so happy with his demise. Viki was so self-righteous when when she was with him. Clint even stood by her when Sloane was dying and was very supportive when she had another mental breakdown after Sloane's death . He always loved Viki. Clint Ritchie who played Clint was not happy with how his character was trashed and he left the show years later. What was so appalling, was that Nobody called out Viki for her affair, except for Dorian her nemesis..She was raked over the coals for daring to question Queen Victoria and even Cassie her daughter disapproved of her calling out Viki. Vicki and Clint were supposed to be the Tom and Alice of One life to live and they were trashed for a self-righteous, interloper, do-gooder like Sloane Carpenter. I am afraid that this is happening with Wilson. Most people want Sonny to reunite with Sparkle and kick Will to the curb because of Will's indiscretion.. I hate gimmicks and cheap ploys by shows to get ratings, I guess that is why I am not a fan of Scandal. Shonda Rhymes relies too much on plot twists and gimmicks to drive her nonsensical stories and not enough character development. -

I don't want Will to be sacrifice for Sparkle. I don't trust them to do right by him, look at what they did to Jack in favor of Dan the perverted sleazy doctor. The real Jennifer only had eyes for Jack. I never got into any of her other romances despite her insane chemistry with Peter. The past regimes did everything to assassinate the character of Jack to justify their agenda. Jack was such a complex character in daytime played by a great actor. I am still angry that I never got some familial interactions between Adrienne, Steve and Jack. The Johnson siblings were awesome together. Steve "died", Adrienne moved away with Justin, and Jack got ruined. If Will and Sonny do divorce, I want them to part as friends and co-parents to Arianna. I would like the show to acknowledge their anniversary. Perhaps Sonny comes back to Salem in time for their anniversary and he goes to see Will and Ari to talk about their future. They start to reminisce about their wedding, and one thing leads to another and they make love. The actors hinted at a fan event, that they had taped something for their anniversary....I hope that it was some sexy tiimes with Wilson..The show is determined to make Sparkle and Paulson relevant, so I am slowly accepting that annoying fact... I want Will to get a guy that makes Sonny green with envy and jealous about his place in Ari's life... -

Apprentice79 replied to CatLady's topic in Days Of Our Lives
The story is so nonsensical to me that I am looking for a reason that would make it believable that Will would cheat on Sonny; a man that he loves, respects, and admires. He puts Sonny on a pedestal to the point of feeling unworthy of him. He wrote Sonny a beautiful letter on their wedding day promising to always be thankful for him and that he was a gift. How does a person change that drastically into a cheater in so little time.. Will in character would never jeopardize Arianna's home life just like his was with Sami and Lucas over the years. Will sleeping with Sparkle to get the scoop to me is stupid because he is not devious. If he wanted confirmation of Sparkle's homosexuality, all he needed was the flirting and kissing as proof of that...Straight men don't flirt with men..These writers do not know how to write character driven stories and it reflects in the ratings....They have had four infidelity stories within the same time period, Rafe/Kate, Ej/Abifail, Will/paul and now JJ/Eve...These writers are unimaginative , in thinking that infidelity is the only way to give couples conflict..It is almost like they are writing a parody of a soap instead of writing one. Will's growing ambition to succeed could have been a good source of conflict for Wilson. Sonny could have gotten involved in dealings with Titan and Victor, that could have drawn him inadvertently into Victor's shady dealings. Perhaps threats could have been made against Will and Arianna that could have resulted in his older brothers and Philip to come into town to help out...I could think of alot of different scenarios to generate drama and it is a shame that these writers get money to do nothing, but give us mediocrity... -
Why would Lucas even do that? it does not make any sense. Unless sparkle lets it be known that he will indeed be going after Sonny, then I could see Lucas helping Will do that...I could see Lucas telling Will that plotting and scheming will only hurt his chances of getting Sonny back..He should look at his mom Sami as an example of what not to do in a relationship...

In a way, Sparkle did seduce Will. Will fell into temptation and he alone is responsible for that because he is married..Sparkle knew Will was gay and was flirting with him and Will was flustered and did not know how to respond to that type of behavior. Let us not forget that Sonny is his first real adult relationship and his only sexual experience with another man before Sparkle. That has to be a factor in why Will did what he did..Sparkle went hard after Will, when Sonny told him that he was committed to his husband and that he should move on..If Sparkle had not made the first move, Will would never have done that..He is too weak, insecure and passive to be sexually aggressive with a man like Sparkle. The show should have had Will and Sonny discuss his lack of sexual experience before getting married and setting down with Arianna as a family...A man like Sonny would never tolerate an open marriage. Like always, the show misses these important beats when writing their nonsensical stories..I still maintain that Will would never have cheated on Sonny. Their marriage was too new for that to enter Will's mind. It makes no sense that the show took that route. Sonny should have been the one to cheat with Sparkle while Will was away in LA...It also should have been an ongoing affair with Sparkle pressuring Sonny to leave Will. It would have been cool to see Sonny screw up for once, instead of Will... -

271days, do you think that Sonny would get back together with Sparkle over Will's antics..It might be something that comes in the future that we are not privy to, since they shoot the show so far in advance..For me, Sonny is totally in love with his husband. He may have some feelings for Paul, but not enough to get back together with him so soon after Will's betrayal. I have heard that there is a guy coming in for Will, when Paulson eventually gets back together..I think Something big will happen that will push Sonny back together with Paul....Adrienne will be on Team Paulson, she has never liked Will and his betrayal of Sonny will be her reasons for backing Paul..She will be shrieking like a banshee about how Will is the devil in person and that will put her at odds with Lucas. Lucas is very protective of Will. Plus, I don't think she has really accepted Arianna as her granddaughter...Which is weird since Sonny is her only biological son with Justin and her other sons are all adopted.... -

Kristabell, Jennifer Rose Horton was awesome back in her glory days. Her love and faith in Jack was so beautiful to watch. Mathew and Melissa were so awesome together. I will never forget that scene when Jennifer in a delirium and mistaking Jack for Lawrence(who had raped her), slapped him and called him a rapist..Wow! that scene was so incredible and the way that the actors played it was a joy to behold...Jennifer always believed in Jack no matter what; and never stopped fighting for him and to be with him. She gave him value and love when nobody else did after raping Kayla. I hate the fact that Jack and Jennifer were destroyed for Dan the sleazy doctor. I am still bitter over that...Jennifer, Abigail and JJ are all suffering from his absence. He was their anchor and now they are all floundering and pathetic...Her rivalry with Eve is nonsensical as well. I have a different take on Will. I am unhappy with him at this time. However, I understand his desperation. Sonny has been his anchor before coming out of the closet and after..Sonny gives him the stability that he has never had in his life. Will has alot to lose so his desperation makes sense to me. Will has poor impulse control and his reckless behavior has hurt him in the past; that is how he conceived Arianna with Gabi. His one night stand with Sparkle. He acts out before thinking about the consequences. His insecurity always brings him down. Without Sonny, he is all over the place and that leads him to trouble. Watching this Paul and Will interaction is reminding me of the blackmail scene between Will and EJ. Will was using the knowledge about Ej's one night stand with Sami to get money out of him to leave town. It backfired on him as usual. EJ turned it around on him by telling him that he knew that he had tried to kill him and not Lucas. EJ even made references to his homosexuality, by saying that prison was not a good place for somebody like him. EJ blackmailed him into becoming his lackey as punishment for his audacity of trying to extort him. The animosity between the characters was palpable. Chandler was amazing in that scene. Both scenes give you the sense that you are watching a Will way out of his depth going up against very self-assured and competent adults (the big boys). Will seems at an obvious disadvantage in both situations. I think this will cause Paul to fight for Sonny and he has already seen the dynamic of Wilson and use that to his advantage. Will is a pussycat in front of Sparkle. He is no match for Sparkle and he knows it, that is why Will wants him to leave town before Sonny's eventual return...Deep down, he knows that he is the author of his own destruction and he just does not want to accept it...Desperate people sometimes do desperate things. He is desperate to keep his family together. I already know that he is the cause of his problem, he broke his vows. However, I don't think that one regrettable mistake is enough for him to lose his family forever.... -

I don't understand why Jennifer would want JJ back with lima bean, She should have told JJ to tell her the truth and move on with his life. This lying is out of character for Jennifer...This is why these writers got fired, they write nonsensical stories to the detriment of the characters. Old school Jennifer would never blackmail Eve. Just like old school Eve would never have done that to her daughter due to her strain relationships with her parents....When the viewers know the characters better than the writers who are writing the show. Then the show is in big trouble. All of the characters have been marginalized for the sake of plots and that is sad.....Will has become a douchebag, when he was a flawed nice guy, Victor is a wimp, Nicole is a crybaby, when she was a fighter..Maggie has become a self-righteous nag, Sonny is weak..Jennifer is a bitch and her kids are horrid....I hope the new writers fix this hot mess....They have 50 years of history, why do they refuse to mine that and give us great stories. Instead they concentrate on useless characters like Melanie and Daniel...I hope that when Chloe comes back, I hope that it is revealed that Parker is really Philip's and that Chloe lied to keep him from Kate..Parker should be a Kiriakis, he would fit in with Arianna, who is one through Sonny..We need more of them via Philip,Alex, Joseph and Victor Jr. Even Sonny can be pulled into the corporate intrigue. Somebody needs to take over for Victor. I hope Sparkle is a Dimera and not John's.....Sparkle being a Black is not interesting to me. Being a Dimera would be;how would Stefano react to having a gay son? How would Sparkle get along with Kristen, Chad, Ej, e.t.c...Cameron also needs to be a Dimera as well. They need to rebuild the Horton, Kiriakis, Brady and Dimera families, while slowly incorporating new characters into the show. I think Kate Roberts was the last time that the show successfully integrated a new character in the show..From Kate, we got Lucas, Austin, Billie, and Philip. Her introduction was great and made sense within the history of the show... -
