Well, this is frustrating. Several scenes have gotten cut lately, but to Ron's credit, he was able to piece together what occurred in those cut scenes so viewers would know what happened. I'll post the first and last tweets in each thread below - you can follow any of these to Twitter to see the full threads:

More spoilers for the week of 4/20 - from soaps.com and DR: Monday April 20: Steve makes a surprising decision regarding Kayla; Rafe is thrown when Zoey declares she’s suing for custody of David; Jack comforts Jennifer, who's unnerved about Orpheus being free. Tuesday April 21: Kate applies for a job with Abe; Kayla tells Justin her decision about their future. Wednesday April 22: Brady, Kristen, Eric, and Nicole wait for word on Sarah and the baby; Chad and Abigail take opposite sides over Kristen and Sarah's situation. Thursday April 23: Sarah hides out in Paris with Rachel; Gabi is stunned when she sees a familiar face...; Kristen attacks Victor! Friday April 24: Ben has a shocking encounter; Victor is rushed to the hospital!

For the last paragraph in that 2nd column, I'm pretty sure they mean that Nicole and Eric - rather than Nicole and Brady - arrive at the mansion so that Eric can join Sarah in saying goodbye to Mickey. Everything after that mentions Eric, and only makes sense for him, so I think they just goofed that once. Preview pics for next week: Early spoilers for the week of April 20th:

Yeah, it's a weird one, but it was cleared up over at DR. Kelly was the first to film, then Alyshia took over (perhaps after Kelly had filmed all of one day in the role).

I don't believe Kelly's around for very long, sorry to say for any fans of hers. It seems she filmed very briefly and then another actress took over the role. Alyshia Ochse is apparently who takes over, and she's listed for 10 episodes on her IMDB page, meaning she's probably not still around (unless someone else takes over the role again) when Rafe leaves this fall.

Yeah, it's not clear yet based on the spoilers that contradict one another. Who knows, maybe Jack is up for some trolling and actually tells them both to go for it? 😉

More for next week, from DR: Monday, April 13, 2020 Sarah and Xander's wedding begins. Tuesday, April 14, 2020 Brady tells Kristen the stunning news about Rachel. Wednesday, April 15, 2020 Eric confronts Xander about the baby switch. Jack encourages Steve to fight for Kayla. Thursday, April 16, 2020 Ben is delighted by Ciara's surprise. Friday, April 17, 2020 Rafe and Orpheus face off over David.

I don't know how official it is, but the rumor a while back was that she was going to lose it and take the baby in an attempt to keep her. 😬

They released spoilers for next week - these are between soaps.com and Carolyn Topol's site: Monday April 13: Marlena and John intervene on Kristen’s behalf; A new Salem U worker turns up when Dasha Flynn appears on Days of our Lives; Kayla and Steve have an emotional breakthrough. Tuesday April 14: Kayla informs Steve she is with Justin now; Sarah blasts Xander for his deception. Wednesday April 15: Will and Sonny discuss expanding their family; Sarah makes a shocking decision! Thursday April 16: Hope continues to struggle with her past as Gina; Rafe receives shocking news from Evan’s lawyer, Zoey. Friday April 17: John breaks the news to Marlena about Orpheus; Justin informs Steve that he will fight for Kayla. Well, one of those has me over the moon! 🥳 New WilSon baby, if we even get to see it before they leave this fall... 🙄

After this, and especially after the bolded: It may be a table of 2, but he was the wooooooooorst for me. Oh yeah, and there's no way Jawn could be his father. Like, literally no way given what was happening on screen back in the day. That they ran with it just made things even more of a mess. 🤦‍♀️

Ohhhh, don't even get me started on any of that. I just hate how he's written as a walking punchline, with every stereotypical gay character rolled into this one guy. Ron makes it way too obvious: On a side note, I do love Greg and am so relieved that he's doing better now in his recovery from COVID-19. I was so scared for him when he mentioned pneumonia in one of his health updates. 😬

So people get to be mad at Xander (which I agree with, but that's beside the point), but not so much Victor? Okay, Show. 🙄

Early spoilers for the week of 4/13:

So my takeaway is that this baby is the cutest 🥰 - and I wish Will & Sonny were adopting her for real (you know, minus the whole........odd, stolen baby aspect of it).

Got a few more spoilers for the week of April 6th: -John nervously awaits news about Marlena’s surgery (Monday); Stefano makes one last request to see his children (Tuesday); Eric prepares to tell Brady and Kristen the truth about their daughter (Tuesday); Eric and Nicole intercept Sarah on the day of her wedding (Thursday); Kayla sits vigil with Steve after his surgery (Thursday); Kristen struggles with her pain (Friday); Xander has a surprising request for Sonny (Wednesday). I wonder if Xander will ask Sonny to be the best man at his wedding? He's tone deaf and juuuuuust dumb enough to do it, given the pain his actions caused Sonny!

More spoilers for the week of April 6th are out now, so these are the combined spoilers between soaps.com and DR: Monday, April 6, 2020 Stefano is determined to thwart Kayla's attempts to end his control over Steve's body; Nicole reveals to Eric the truth about Mackenzie. Tuesday, April 7, 2020 Abigail and Anna voice their concern over Chad and Tony; Kayla makes a bold decision in order to get Steve back. Wednesday, April 8, 2020 Eric shares a tearful goodbye with Mackenzie; Evan meets with Ben face-to-face; Kayla and Sarah encounter an unexpected complication during Steve’s surgery. Thursday, April 9, 2020 Victor and Xander share a touching moment; Justin confides in Jennifer about his fear of losing Kayla. Friday, April 10, 2020 Marlena tries to help Steve; Sarah gets the shock of her life; Steve wakes up from his surgery, but there’s a hitch.

It was announced that it's up to Days to air episodes in those slots, and it's anywhere from 10-13 episodes depending on if the French Open happens at some point this fall (they're currently aiming for late September, but there are obviously no guarantees). It was pointed out by Jason47 that they likely don't have the budget to produce 10-13 new episodes, so it may make more sense for them to air replays instead. I think the flashback week from January would be a good candidate for 5 replay episodes, since that was largely preempted across all time zones. It'll be interesting to see what they decide on, for sure. They do have a cliffhanger filmed going into what was to be the Olympics break, fwiw.

Days uploaded the wrong promo initially, this is apparently the full spring preview: @howmanywords Ohhhhh, you have no idea how much I hate the lack of WilSon in that initial promo, and their place in this one isn't much better imo.

It's from SOD. I believe it will air on April 1st, as Clyde breaking out of prison is apparently included in the spoilers for that day.

Okay, the usual people aren't uploading scans tonight, so I'll go with these for now and will search for better quality stuff tomorrow. First up is early spoilers for the week of April 6th: For next week: And, yeah, April 1st is a one-off: I'll bring over everything else as soon as I can find it. Some of the spoiler pics are out there, but they're really, really bad quality so it won't hurt to wait. Edit - hey, there's more! Someone else was kind enough to post these: Leo, honey, that suit though.... 🙈🤣

So, to go along with the news on Leo and Sheila's returns on April 1st, this would appear to be even further confirmation that the episode airing that day is a one-time deal - probably like the way they've done Halloween in recent years:

No idea, but as you can imagine, I'm pissed. It's apparently NBC that's responsible for editing episodes down for time, and not the show. But when I think of how Will never got to properly mourn Adrienne's death and how nice it would have been to see him go through that process, only to have the scenes apparently get cut........... 😑🤬 Anyway, here are the pictures that Silver Raven referenced: I don't think they'd just pull out and redress a graveyard set for the hell of it, so hopefully they'll go back there at some point? Edit - Oh, this is too rich. Kristen, *Kristen*, gets to visit Rachel's grave today, but Will & Sonny couldn't be seen visiting Adrienne's grave yesterday.

More spoilers for the week of March 30th, from soaps.com and DR: Monday, March 30, 2020 Stefano urges Marlena to end John's life; Brady is shot! Tuesday, March 31, 2020 Abigail tries to break Stefano's spell over a brainwashed Chad; Ben and Ciara discuss their future; Anna creates complete chaos at Stefano’s hideout. Wednesday, April 1, 2020 Nicole is stunned when someone from her past shows up on her doorstep; Leo returns and has an intriguing offer for Will and Sonny; Sheila makes a visit. Thursday, April 2, 2020 John tricks Rolf to get what he wants; Eli and Lani have a frosty encounter with Gabi; Eric realizes Nicole lied to him. Friday, April 3, 2020 Eric confronts Abe about Nicole; Brady is perplexed by Mackenzie’s birthmark. Edit - I'll just throw my speculation out there now: I think April 1 might be a Halloween-type episode where at least one person is dreaming and none of the events are actually happening. There are enough returns that make me think it's a one-off sort of deal.

I'm only about a thousand percent certain Will is going to be his best man, and that I'm going to continue to hate every second of it. Spot the difference between the reunions involving heterosexual couples vs. the one same sex couple and tell me Days doesn't have a homophobic co-EP on their hands. 🙄
