Suddenly they're trying to change the narrative that Rafe has a problem reporting to women. He doesn't. His problem is that he was injured on the job and DEMOTED simply because Paulina wanted the optics of the first Black female commissioner. If this had come after he screwed up on a case it could have been acceptable. As it is, it just looks bad.

Thank you. I second that thought.

Brady REALLY doesn't have the Salem brain today. He should have told Kristen that he owes a really big thanks to whoever sabotaged his date because neither one of them enjoyed it when they tried to stream it. If they had actually made it to the performance, it would have been a completely boring disaster of a date. Luckily, it was saved by them being able to turn it off.

I want to like this post 1,000 times. All this total garbage about how she was such a wonderful person, and EVERYONE just loved her is just that - TOTAL GARBAGE. It was pretty funny when Cat was pretending to be her and everyone kept telling her about Abigail having sex with pretty much every male DiMeara except Stefano. Let's not forget about cheating on Ben and basically stalking EJ while pretending to be Sami's friend - yet somehow she ended up being the victim in all that. Other than a few mentions in passing it seems like Doug has been completely forgotten. Terrible treatment of someone who actually DID become a well loved and admirable character. Probably one of the reasons Hope had to leave so soon - she really couldn't even PRETEND to care that Abigail's body is missing.

Really glad to hear the surgery was a success and you're feeling less pain. I'm sending you all my hopes that they successfully got it all and any further treatment will be minimal. Please let us know whatever you feel comfortable sharing.

I'm talking about after Eric returned the child. EJ DID have a DNA test run to double check that Sloan wasn't lying to him. THAT is what Stephan found in the DiMeara safe - the actual DNA results saying that Jude was Eric's.

After the baby was returned to Nicole, EJ said they were going to do their own DNA test to make sure he was actually their baby. EJ really just wanted to make sure of the results himself but he did tell Nicole that the baby was his - not Eric's.

When he had the results showing that Jude was actually Eric's child - didn't he give Nicole results saying it was his?

Yep. Mark somehow getting 18 months in PRISON for basically the "crime" of forging a DNA test (the only thing he really did in Salem) while Mr. DA himself forged a DNA test exactly how long ago? I guess when pretty much everyone has done heinous things it's kind of hard to rank them - much less keep up with who you're currently supposed to be hating.

Except I don't understand WHY Alex is showing such extreme loyalty that he won't even have a private conversation with Stephanie. He agreed not to say anything to Chanel, but it's not like him and Johnny are such great friends that he needs to throw himself on his sword and basically trash his own life for Johnny's sake. Especially since the only reason that rumor got started is because he was calling Johnny out for basically being an ass by allowing daddy to use his money to run Joy out of town with no thought for how it would affect her career in the future. (Johnny had no idea that EJ offered Joy introductions and connections.) Does he not trust Stephanie? If so, is that really all that great of a relationship?

Well, as ridiculous as today's episode was, at least we're spared any more courtroom "drama." Could the show have dropped any more anvils about THE LETTER? It is obvious that it won't be long before it is found out the letter is a fake but how much stupid shit are we supposed to put up with in the meantime? While Alex has somewhat improved of late, expecting us to actually feel sympathy for the guy is carrying things a bit too far. Don't care even a little bit about his drama with Stephanie.

I'm so very sorry to hear this. I'm hoping for the best outcome for you. Please know your friends are here to support you whenever you need.

You're right. He would be Doug Williams ll NOT Doug Williams lll.

OK, so today's episode had me rolling my eyes so hard I think I damaged something. I KNOW it's a soap and most things aren't even vaguely based in reality but the whole courtroom thing had me wanting to scream. In matters of inheritance - unless you can prove incompetence or undue influence last will written is THE deciding factor. It supersedes any letters, written communication, oral statements or even previous wills. It should be "What is the date of this letter?" "What is the date of the will?" If the letter preceded the will (and it would have had to since Phillip can't prove it was sent from Greece where Victor spent his final days) case closed. Xander wins. All this who is more qualified or who is a worse character crap is just irritating filler.

Have been traveling and just caught up with the show. SSH and KA really showed how much they truly loved Doug/Bill. Even though it happened months ago, it still had to be really hard for Susan to relive Bill's funeral. It just occurred to me that the Salem PD has absolutely NO standing to be keeping Mark Greene in jail. The supposed attempted murder happened in FRANCE. If France wanted to extradite and charge him they could, otherwise Salem has absolutely no jurisdiction over this "crime." (I'm using quotations because that was one of the lamest attempted murders I've ever seen.) I realize that it's so Chad can be a big hero and get him released, but really, he shouldn't even be in jail.
