has been going on behind the scenes at Days. Filming has changed, wardrobe, storylines, and more.
Filming is being done out of sequence, with scenes from mulitiple episodes being shot the same day. This has been mentioned by a few of the actors. Other scenes from the same episodes are filmed another day, maybe over a week later. Thus the different haircuts/different hair do, as noted in Tuesday 1/10 episode on Nicole. So multiple scenes, all shot on different days, are then edited together to form each episode.
Have read so many complaints of wardrobe, which has deteriorated in style. Cleavage runs rampant, and is showing more and more, in inappropriate ways. Today Nicole opened the door to her room, without knowing who had knocked, in her nightie & robe, cleavage in full view. Men on Days are, too often, seen shirtless.
Oh, I know the why, but it is overdone now. And in some cases, pointless. A man just would not greet a newly arrived guest like that. Dresses seem the norm in Salem, tho not in real world, but in Salem....they barely seem to cover the derriere. And on some of the actors, are 2 sizes too small. LOL Marlena always looks terrific, which should tell us something. (I seem to have read she wears a lot of her own clothes, !!!)
Truly is hard to believe Salemites seem to ignore the evil deeds done by some and treat them like it was all nothing. I loved Bonnie punching Xander, in real life, many of the Salemites would not ever associate with each other due to past wrongs......but, tis Salem. Then again, maybe that is why Kayla did not mention wanting to see/talk to Kim when she was dying. Days has a large cast, some say too large, so one has to be creative & very imaginative to come up with storylines to involve so many. It WAS done in the past, but seems beyond Days now.
Days has a problem, with getting rid of a popular actor, only to realize too late, so have a return by the actor as a different character. But what the public liked about the actor in the original character is now gone. Thus we have Adrienne into Bonnie, Ben into Alex........and not working. Rachel is a brat, whose parents never try to correct her, help her, just let her be however nasty & annoying. Kristen is given free rein by the writers, without any payback. She can do as she pleases and all is well. Jake was a very liked character, killed off, replaced by Stefan, whose traits leave a lot to be desired. Rafe is so ill used, it is pathetic. Same goes for Gabi. Days really needs a story to involve them all together, working against someone or something nasty, evil.
Days needs to get back to it's roots, to what made it last so long. Family, adventure, joy, sorrow. Doctors & nurses involved in a patient's life. Family working together to pull the family business back on top.
Friends standing with friends against problems. Troubled teens taken in, children adopted. Sorry, I have rambled on too long
