Days of Our Lives - Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024

Just an excellent episode......I checked twice to see who to credit. Noel Maxam directed, and Dave Ryan wrote this wonderful episode. Have to say thank you to Corday as well, this was a really good show to say goodbye to Doug.......Bill Hayes. Amazing that Julie held it together as well as she did. Bless the cast & crew. Thank you!

agree. Like the family acting as though Ciara cured cancer because she opened the time capsule that could've clearly been opened with a small pry-bar or a even a heavy duty screwdriver. It was hardly a complicated box to open

This exactly.
 
So Ciara not going to say how she magically opened the time capsule?

I was thinking Steven's not so changed after all and now with diamond necklace missing?

I got teary eyed when Liz Chandler sang and when Julie hugged Doug's portrait. These all had to be so hard for her. But 98 is a very good long life. Can't ask for more than that.
 
And next...........we will be dealing with the death (or just exit) of John Black.....Drake Hogestyn....which I believe will be occuring in May. (maybe starting end of April???)

This is all so hard, and had to be even more so for cast & crew.

The black and white flashback is confusing. The young man is named Doug and his cellmate was Bill. Then he says he's
going to Salem just like years ago when Doug met Bill.

Does this prove history repeats itself?

I think that's what they were going for with young Doug's introduction to Salem.

It was a ridiculous thing for the writers to come up with, especially stashed in the chimney

You know, I could almost give Ron a pass for this because it was originated by the strike writers, but he's so lazy so much of the time and having his pet killer boinker be the opener really grinds my gears. I'd have rather he ignored it or brushed it off. "Oh that time capsule? Doug and Thomas opened it. It had copies of Alice's donut recipe in it. It was nice to see gran's beautiful handwriting again." Move on.

It proves re-Ron does.
 
Just a reminder that Ron Carvilati (who wrote for Days) has left the show.......however with them filming so far in advance, we will be seeing his work all through April of 2025. After that (next May) we will be seeing the work of the two female co-head writers.....Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford.

And guess where Ron is now? Writing for the new soap, Beyond the Gates, which will make it's debut this spring. Val Jean is the show runner there, with Bob Guza as head writers. So Ron is not in any "boss" position there.
 
Another World was my #1 soap as a kid, and so seeing Stephen Schnetzer (Steve on Days and ex-Cass on AW) is a major treat. He looks great, hardly any older than in his Another World days. I'd LOVE it if he stayed around, and they gave him an interesting story. He's still got such charisma on screen.
 
I enjoyed Steve Olson very much. And Marie more than I thought I would. Eli and Lani, Belle and Shawn, are both as dullsville as I remember them. Nice but bland and I would never tune in for either of them. Nice to see Jack and Jennifer but they barely got to interact with each other, and Steve and Jack were again in scenes together where if you did not know they were brothers with a fraught history, you'd have no idea. Liz was never a favorite of mine and this outing did not change that for me.
 
Kind of funny at the funeral to have Steven Olson and Roman sitting there. Back when Steven was in Salem, Josh Taylor (Roman) was playing Chris Kositchek, and they had history. Steven tried to schmooze Mary Anderson away from Chris several times so he could get to her money. Would've been funny if Steven had started to say something about Chris, only to be told that it was actually Roman Brady, Marlena's second husband (Steven knew Marlena).
