Special police squads, called Blade Runner units, were used to track down and shoot any trespassing replicant. However, after a particularly gruesome mutiny by a Nexus 6 combat team in an off-world colony, Replicants were declared illegal on Earth.

They were used for manual labor in the hazardous colonization of other planets.

The Nexus 6 models were superior in strength and agility and at least equal in intelligence, to the genetic engineers who built them. These were artificially created humans, known as replicants. Synopsis: Early in the 21st century, robot evolution advanced considerably and a giant multinational company, called the Tyrell Corporation developed the Nexus range. I don't expect anything like that on Days, sadly.The amazing aesthetic of Ridley Scott's 1981 'Blade Runner' set the standard for the visual representation of 'cyberpunk' (Image credit: Warner Bros.)

I have a similar story in my fanfiction, but it's focused on the mother worrying about how to answer her child's questions about who his daddy was. It could be an interesting story, but I simply don't have faith in the writers to handle it properly, and two weeks of focusing on Tripp's reaction and every man in Salem wanting to hit or kill him isn't assuaging my fears. So far, I'm not sure what to think of Allie's baby being the product of a sexual assault. And that doesn't even count trans/non-binary folks.Д«ut it's even MORE common on Days, and so many times it feels like they didn't know how to move the story forward, so they throw in a rape.Д¬hristine: I feel like the writers think, 'Oh, that will bring the drama,' and throw rape around almost as much as they have women kidnapped. I think it's one out of five or maybe one out of four women experience some sort of sexual assault in their lifetime, and two out of every 10 men. They made no effort to take any of this seriously. She was screaming loudly in a dorm room, and no one heard?ДЄnd one of the worst aspects was when Ciara went to see Marlena, and Marlena sat like a statue, saying nothing when Ciara said things like she wanted to be with older men so that she wouldn't get hurt again. Jack: Exactly! A bit off-topic, but I always felt the same way with Paige's murder. I'm not trying to victim blame, but it didn't make a lot of sense to me that she couldn't have made noise and gotten someone's attention as the house seemed to be overflowing with people. And that the rape happened on Alice Horton's couch.double ugh.Д¬hristine: Yes, with other people in the house, yet Ciara never called out. Jack:В There was this weird vendetta against the Jennings family once they switched writers. Like, once they decided he was a villain, his son had to be one too, so they could have a reason to write him off and never have to hear from him again. The experience is a part of who she is, and it's affecting her perception of Tripp being accused.Д¬hristine: It felt as though they did it to ruin anything having to do with Aiden. Kayla doesn't dwell on it, but it's never forgotten.

I think they've done an admirable job of still talking about Kayla being raped by Jack, especially when Jack returned.

It's shocking considering how progressive and groundbreaking DAYS was considered when they called Jack's rape of Kayla while married to her what it was.Д«ut not shocking considering the poor messaging and writing around sexual assault in the past few years.ДЄs a side note, I hate how they often trot out Kayla's rape as a plot point but never show her still affected by it if it's not conducive to the current plot.Д¬hristine: That's the confusing part. Jack: Exactly! They seem to be stuck in some sort of 1950s mentality about men can't be raped. They write themselves into these corners and then try to ignore it when fans call them out on it. And I, too, was waiting for some mention of Lani's past when she was called to take Allie's statement, but it shouldn't surprise me that the show won't go there.
