The Days of Our Lives Watching Adventure (1/4)

[earlgreytea68]

chicklet73  and I had this great idea. We had both watch Days of Our Lives when we were growing up, and, feeling nostalgic for the Horton ornaments on the Christmas tree, decided to DVR the episodes that aired on December 23 and December 24 and watch them together. This turned out to be slightly epic.

 

EGT (4:30:56 PM):

I am ready to hit play on my December 23 episode, whenever you are ready!

c73 (4:31:43 PM):

I’m ready!  there is an image of a hand picking up a cell phone on my screen right now.  a BRUISED hand!

EGT (4:31:51 PM):

Hahahahaha!

EGT (4:31:54 PM):

Yes!

EGT (4:31:56 PM):

I have hit play!

EGT (4:32:01 PM):

Wow, this is very dramatic.

c73 (4:32:06 PM):

me too!  ah, it is bo and hope

EGT (4:32:11 PM):

What is wrong with them?

c73 (4:32:13 PM):

did he beat her up?

EGT (4:32:17 PM):

You know, their lives are constantly on the run.

EGT (4:32:20 PM):

I don't know, is he evil now>

EGT (4:32:28 PM):

Okay, that man is wearing many layers.

EGT (4:32:29 PM):

I approve.

c73 (4:32:33 PM):

he was wearing an evil-looking stocking cap.

EGT (4:32:38 PM):

Is there a weird pattern on Roman's coat?

EGT (4:32:40 PM):

He was.

EGT (4:32:44 PM):

Stocking caps are generally evil.

c73 (4:32:45 PM):

DUN

EGT (4:32:46 PM):

EVIL CHORD.

c73 (4:32:48 PM):

YES

c73 (4:32:55 PM):

oooh, Vivian!

c73 (4:33:05 PM):

Nicole: "where did you get those pictures?"

EGT (4:33:07 PM):

I have never seen people so susceptible to blackmail, you know?

c73 (4:33:13 PM):

Vivian: "Through the lens of a camera"

EGT (4:33:16 PM):

She's evil Vivian, why is Nicole confused?

c73 (4:33:17 PM):

I know.

EGT (4:33:19 PM):

Hahahahaha.

EGT (4:33:23 PM):

Vivian is the best character on the show.

c73 (4:33:28 PM):

And yes, that was an odd pattern and yes, that guy had lots of layers.

EGT (4:33:32 PM):

Maggie never ages.

c73 (4:33:38 PM):

She is like Dick Clark.

EGT (4:33:39 PM):

Maggie has been old since I was 7, right?

EGT (4:33:42 PM):

She is!

EGT (4:33:48 PM):

She has just been permanently old!

EGT (4:33:54 PM):

Everyone is SO NOSY.

c73 (4:33:56 PM):

The exact same age of old!

EGT (4:34:00 PM):

I never realized that before!

c73 (4:34:03 PM):

Who is the eye patch boy?

EGT (4:34:06 PM):

That little boy has a jaunty eye patch.

EGT (4:34:10 PM):

Like, not a serious medical one.

EGT (4:34:12 PM):

Uh-oh.

EGT (4:34:16 PM):

Stefano closed the door.

EGT (4:34:20 PM):

I bet he's about to kill these people.

c73 (4:34:22 PM):

That can't be good.

EGT (4:34:33 PM):

See how he's dressed all in black?

c73 (4:34:36 PM):

Probably.  He has no problem exterminating one-eyed children.

c73 (4:34:40 PM):

Eye cancer?

EGT (4:34:40 PM):

All he needs is an evil stocking cap.

c73 (4:34:44 PM):

HAHAHAHA

EGT (4:34:47 PM):

Well, one-eyed children are WEAK, I tell you.

EGT (4:34:48 PM):

WEAK.

c73 (4:34:50 PM):

He and Bo could be twinsies.

EGT (4:34:53 PM):

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.

EGT (4:34:55 PM):

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

c73 (4:34:59 PM):

Yes, we cannot have faulty children in the DiMera family.

EGT (4:35:04 PM):

That is the only time anyone has called Bo and Stefano "twinsies."

EGT (4:35:09 PM):

Notice Stefano's ring.

EGT (4:35:14 PM):

Next time they do a close-up on his hand.

EGT (4:35:16 PM):

It's EPIC.

EGT (4:35:27 PM):

HAHAHAHAHAHA

c73 (4:35:29 PM):

WTF?

EGT (4:35:31 PM):

SAMANTHA GAVE HER CHILD EYE CANCER.

c73 (4:35:36 PM):

EJ thinks Sami gave her child cancer?

EGT (4:35:38 PM):

SHE IS THAT. EVIL.

c73 (4:35:54 PM):

FGR#2 is laughing so hard at this.

EGT (4:36:01 PM):

How writes long notes on their tags?

EGT (4:36:03 PM):

hahahahaha!

EGT (4:36:07 PM):

Does he want to join in?

c73 (4:36:07 PM):

Not I?

EGT (4:36:10 PM):

OMG.

c73 (4:36:12 PM):

Wait, who is that?

EGT (4:36:13 PM):

ADRIENNE IS BACK ON THIS SHOW?

EGT (4:36:15 PM):

WHAT?!

c73 (4:36:18 PM):

Is that her?

EGT (4:36:20 PM):

Do you remember Adrienne and Justin>

EGT (4:36:21 PM):

?

EGT (4:36:23 PM):

When we were kids?

EGT (4:36:27 PM):

My closed captioning says that it is.

c73 (4:36:31 PM):

Yes!  He had a giant forehead!

c73 (4:36:35 PM):

And paralysis!

EGT (4:36:36 PM):

hahahahahaha!

EGT (4:36:43 PM):

I thought the name Adrienne was so beautiful when I was a kid.

EGT (4:36:47 PM):

And the name Justin.

c73 (4:36:48 PM):

Carly has not aged as well as Maggie or Adrienne...

EGT (4:36:50 PM):

Wow, is that Carly?

c73 (4:36:54 PM):

It sure is.

EGT (4:36:56 PM):

I don't know what I think about her hair color.

EGT (4:37:00 PM):

No, she has not aged as well, indeed.

c73 (4:37:03 PM):

Which color?

c73 (4:37:06 PM):

There are many.

EGT (4:37:06 PM):

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

EGT (4:37:08 PM):

::zing::

EGT (4:37:14 PM):

Oh, whatever, Hope.

EGT (4:37:19 PM):

I find these two are full of so much DRAMA.

EGT (4:37:29 PM):

I think it is going to turn out that they have some weird form of Munchausen's.

EGT (4:37:37 PM):

"Insanity" doesn't work that way, Hope.

c73 (4:37:37 PM):

Instead of Sami.

EGT (4:37:44 PM):

Bo, get a real lawyer.

c73 (4:37:47 PM):

No, it does not.  Shut up, Fancy Face.

EGT (4:37:55 PM):

Hahahaha!

EGT (4:37:59 PM):

"Gather evidence."

EGT (4:38:03 PM):

How are they gathering evidence?

EGT (4:38:10 PM):

She was calling an erectile dysfunction drug?

c73 (4:38:11 PM):

HEE.  Remember when everyone used to use Uncle Mickey as their lawyer?

c73 (4:38:17 PM):

*COUGHS UP TEA*

EGT (4:38:18 PM):

HAHAHAHA!

EGT (4:38:19 PM):

Yes!

EGT (4:38:23 PM):

Is he not around anymore?

c73 (4:38:25 PM):

Ew, commercial.  FF time.

c73 (4:38:30 PM):

I think he's dead.

EGT (4:38:45 PM):

Awww, sad.

EGT (4:38:49 PM):

I think the coats on this show are weird.

EGT (4:38:58 PM):

And I like how they're pretending to be cold by having a coat on.

c73 (4:39:04 PM):

True.

EGT (4:39:04 PM):

And yet the coats are unbuttoned.

c73 (4:39:11 PM):

I think Nicole is sweating in hers.

EGT (4:39:14 PM):

No one wears unbuttoned coats.

c73 (4:39:18 PM):

TRUTH

EGT (4:39:23 PM):

Well, that's because Vivian took a photo of her naked.

c73 (4:39:28 PM):

Did Vivian call the child a "tot"?

c73 (4:39:35 PM):

Ha!

EGT (4:39:41 PM):

lolol

EGT (4:39:43 PM):

Vivian is awesome.

EGT (4:39:46 PM):

Why is EJ in a suit?

c73 (4:39:48 PM):

YES.

EGT (4:39:57 PM):

See, why do characters in soap operas always wear suits randomly?

c73 (4:40:10 PM):

Good question.

EGT (4:40:14 PM):

Hahahaha!

EGT (4:40:18 PM):

Witchcraft!

EGT (4:40:28 PM):

If Sami were a witch, I would start watching this show again.

c73 (4:40:28 PM):

Stefano was telling some kid who might be his son that all DiMeras should wear suits at all times.

c73 (4:40:35 PM):

EJ needs to calm down.

c73 (4:40:50 PM):

I would also love Sami the Witch with Real Powers.

c73 (4:40:58 PM):

Remember when she was Stan the boy for awhile?

EGT (4:41:00 PM):

EJ does need to calm down.

EGT (4:41:07 PM):

All DiMeras should wear suits and have two eyes.

EGT (4:41:11 PM):

Ha!

EGT (4:41:12 PM):

I do!

c73 (4:41:13 PM):

HA!

EGT (4:41:19 PM):

Wasn't that, like, PTSD, or something?

c73 (4:41:20 PM):

They need to show me Stefano's ring again.

EGT (4:41:39 PM):

Wow, she looks awful.

c73 (4:41:41 PM):

Wow, even Stefano thinks EJ needs to dial it down.

EGT (4:41:42 PM):

IT'S ALWAYS BO.

EGT (4:41:46 PM):

Hahahahah.

EGT (4:41:55 PM):

That's bad, when Stefano DiMera thinks you're over the top.

c73 (4:41:58 PM):

Bwah!  It is.

EGT (4:42:04 PM):

Okay, why would they have Roman looking for his brother?

EGT (4:42:06 PM):

Like, seriously?

c73 (4:42:07 PM):

(It is Bo.  Always)

EGT (4:42:13 PM):

There's no other cop they can have running this?

c73 (4:42:15 PM):

Is Roman the only policeman left?

EGT (4:42:16 PM):

This town has one cop.

EGT (4:42:21 PM):

And he's related to everyone in the town.

c73 (4:42:25 PM):

Ha!  I owe you a Coke.

EGT (4:42:26 PM):

That guy with layers has great hair.

c73 (4:42:31 PM):

Who is this woman giving him a hard time?

EGT (4:42:31 PM):

He's seriously my favorite person on this show.

EGT (4:42:35 PM):

I wonder who he is.

c73 (4:42:39 PM):

And yes, he does.  I think he is Sami's husband.

c73 (4:42:44 PM):

HAHAHHA

EGT (4:42:47 PM):

I think that woman is someone who has a brain.

EGT (4:42:55 PM):

Look, she's pointing out the logical flaws in this storyline.

c73 (4:42:57 PM):

I want to see Roman kicking this woman out of his office.

EGT (4:42:58 PM):

Sami's husband?

EGT (4:42:59 PM):

Really?

EGT (4:43:02 PM):

Sami's married to him?

EGT (4:43:04 PM):

Sami married up.

c73 (4:43:07 PM):

Yep.  Maybe.

EGT (4:43:13 PM):

BO BRADY HAS DONE THIS BEFORE.

EGT (4:43:13 PM):

YES.

c73 (4:43:16 PM):

I remember her husband had great hair.

EGT (4:43:18 PM):

THESE PEOPLE ARE NEWBIES.

EGT (4:43:20 PM):

Interesting.

EGT (4:43:23 PM):

Sami's very lucky.

EGT (4:43:27 PM):

It's because she's a witch.

EGT (4:43:31 PM):

WHAT IS THE PATTERN ON ROMAN'S COAT?

EGT (4:43:35 PM):

Doesn't that guy seem older than Sami?

EGT (4:43:42 PM):

I still think of Sami as being 16.

c73 (4:43:45 PM):

Is it plaid?  *squints*

EGT (4:43:53 PM):

She will have her prisoner back tonight, one way or another.

c73 (4:43:56 PM):

I think of her as permanently 16 too.  So he seems like a pedo.

EGT (4:43:56 PM):

What the hell does that mean?

c73 (4:43:59 PM):

SHE SURE WILL.

EGT (4:44:07 PM):

She's going to go do it herself?

EGT (4:44:11 PM):

She's going to go call in Sami the witch?

EGT (4:44:13 PM):

WHAT?

EGT (4:44:16 PM):

My kettle is whistling!

EGT (4:44:18 PM):

Pause it!

c73 (4:44:19 PM):

The piano music is telling me this is a Very Emotional Scene with Hope.

EGT (4:44:21 PM):

I'll brb.

c73 (4:44:24 PM):

*paused*

EGT (4:44:24 PM):

It was, I felt emotional.

EGT (4:44:25 PM):

brb

c73 (4:44:28 PM):

ok

EGT (4:46:35 PM):

Okay, I am back.

EGT (4:46:38 PM):

Shall we fast-forward?

c73 (4:46:41 PM):

hello!

c73 (4:46:47 PM):

past bo and hope?

EGT (4:46:54 PM):

Hahaha!

EGT (4:46:57 PM):

Oh, I was in a commercial.

EGT (4:47:02 PM):

I'll wait for you to get there.

c73 (4:47:06 PM):

oh!  me too now.  I’ll FF

EGT (4:47:22 PM):

Now I am with Maggie and the guy in a leather coat.

EGT (4:47:23 PM):

OMG.

c73 (4:47:26 PM):

me too

EGT (4:47:28 PM):

MY CLOSED CAPTIONING SAYS THAT IS BRADY.

EGT (4:47:32 PM):

THAT IS BRADY.

c73 (4:47:35 PM):

do WHAT?!

EGT (4:47:40 PM):

Why does everyone on this show look the same age?

EGT (4:47:55 PM):

Oooh, corporate shenanigans.

c73 (4:47:59 PM):

like, isn't she his great great grand-aunt or something?

EGT (4:48:03 PM):

Do you know what all soap operas need: a really good corporate lawyer.

EGT (4:48:10 PM):

No, I don’t' think so.

c73 (4:48:14 PM):

ha!  yes.  Especially one who can write.

EGT (4:48:22 PM):

He's Isabella's and John's son.

EGT (4:48:31 PM):

And I think neither of them was related to the Hortons, right?

c73 (4:48:35 PM):

who knows

c73 (4:48:46 PM):

I tried to make a family tree once, with FGR#1

EGT (4:48:54 PM):

Isabella was Victor's daughter, I think.

c73 (4:48:55 PM):

It made my brain systems seize up.

c73 (4:48:59 PM):

She was.

EGT (4:49:00 PM):

that's why Brady's middle name is Victor.

EGT (4:49:09 PM):

And John was somehow related to the Alamains, right?

c73 (4:49:17 PM):

John keeps finding new identities.  Remember how he is really Stefano’s half-brother too?

EGT (4:49:20 PM):

When he was Forrest and was filthy in the jungle all the time.

EGT (4:49:23 PM):

HAHAHAHAHA.

c73 (4:49:24 PM):

Yes he was.  Forrest Alamain.

c73 (4:49:26 PM):

Hee!

EGT (4:49:29 PM):

John's identity is ever-changing.

EGT (4:49:35 PM):

Look at Stefano acting EMOTION.

c73 (4:49:36 PM):

Like the Doctor!

EGT (4:49:42 PM):

"I will touch my son's shoulder now."

EGT (4:49:43 PM):

Yes!

c73 (4:49:46 PM):

HAHAHAHA

EGT (4:49:47 PM):

And his real name is hidden!

EGT (4:49:51 PM):

OMG WE ARE ON TO SOMETHING!!!!

c73 (4:49:53 PM):

Whoa, the ring is Epic!

EGT (4:49:57 PM):

I KNOW.

EGT (4:50:01 PM):

I think the ring contains his power.

c73 (4:50:07 PM):

HEE.

EGT (4:50:15 PM):

"He's a DiMera, for goodness sake. He's strong. Even though he only has one eye."

c73 (4:50:25 PM):

He's a big fan of touching his hot son, isn't he?

EGT (4:50:28 PM):

That kid had to stay still for a long time.

EGT (4:50:32 PM):

Yeah, huh?

EGT (4:50:39 PM):

Turn your ring, Stefano!

EGT (4:50:49 PM):

What was with that weird musical flourish when Stefano looked back at the kid?

EGT (4:50:59 PM):

So, are Carly and Adrienne the same age?

c73 (4:51:00 PM):

I know!  Was he plotting the kid's demise?

EGT (4:51:02 PM):

Who knows?

c73 (4:51:09 PM):

Or did his heart grow three sizes?

EGT (4:51:09 PM):

I think Stefano gave him the eye cancer.

[frakup.livejournal.com]

I think this is my favorite part:

c73 (4:36:31 PM): Yes! He had a giant forehead!
c73 (4:36:35 PM): And paralysis!

[earlgreytea68.livejournal.com]

lol - In soap opera-dom, those two things go together!

[lorelaisquared.livejournal.com]

LMAO I used to watch this show ages ago but it's been so long that reading this I spent a lot of time going Huh? And yet at the same time it seems NOTHING has changed. Sami is still doing bad things, Stefano is still stefano and bo and hope = DRAMA all the time!

I laughed so hard when you compared John and all his aliases to the Doctor. TOO true. *snort*

Funnily enough this leaves me with no desire to start watching this show again... ever.

[earlgreytea68.livejournal.com]

It's so true, I felt like I last watched this show ten years ago, and yet the same storylines were happening!

I REALLY THINK JOHN BLACK IS A TIME LORD. I NEED TO WRITE A FANFIC ABOUT THAT.

Heh. I don't want to start re-watching it, but it was very fun to mock. We could make a great drinking game about it!
