No he stabbed her and Chad found her bloodied on their bed.

Yes Lucas took the fall for Will shooting EJ (see it would've been a great time to bring Lucas back for this one). If you are referring to the baby Jan was pregnant with and claimed to be Shawn's? It was Christian's(which makes him Orpheus's grandson) not Shawn's kid(which I was ok with given that she raped him and we are stuck with little Rachel because of that plot line). Honestly I hope it's Rachel in an ideal scenario. Kristen takes the fall for her and goes to prison never to return.

This is the same show that had Jan kill Charlie Dale despite barely knowing the guy at all. This is exactly what Ron would do tbh. So yes I think young Rachel did it(I forgot about the old Rachel still being around).

Was it Jake or Stefan? I think it's more of the latter tbh. Now I think it's Rachel who shot him.

I figured they wanted her to return because it would be weird to not have her there when John dies. Despite their history there was love there her son was named after him.

I actually agree with all of this. I don't have an issue with the Brady's not caring about EJ it's valid. However they should also feel the same if not more about Ava as well. That being said I'm so glad to see Ava go that I am willing to overlook it. I admit it's a bit surprising to me that Chad has ended up being EJ's most loyal relative.

NotRafe seems a lot more fun tbh Brandon is doing fan events and I think he was featured on RSW's IG(or someone on the show) so yeah I expect him to return(I expected it to begin with but I digress) I would prefer all the Dimeras to leave(except maybe Johnny since I don't really see him as a Dimera despite the lineage).

I think it's a mutual thing since Sami has to revisit the rape storyline and it brings back bad memories. Rafe finds out Jada slept with someone they knew and nobody seemed to notice Rafe wasn't himself. I'm guessing JJ trying to win Gabi back is that she finds out JJ knew about Shawn/Jada and didn't say anything? Eh at least this is a conflict that involves someone else's affair and not something JJ did. I expect a Stefan return is imminent.

That and it seems like they have erased his actual mother Tori in all of this. Kate had a role in raising him and Lucas her faves. I would say Austin is ahead of Rex tbh. This just reminds me this show gave Kate(and Roman) too many kids. Rex/Cassie should've been Tony/Anna's children or Orpheus's children. At least the Dimeras would have a slightly less laughable future. Were they at the time it happened? I thought they were engaged and got married after she got past that(of course it was a while back I might've misremembered)

Valid lol but now that I think about it they may not have the budget anymore to pull off another one.

We would've been spared the last few months of whatever this was.

Far be it from me to defend Rafe but I can see why he would be bothered that she hooked up with someone they both know and work with. It would make one wonder if this was something that was always there under his nose the entire time etc. If it was some random dude I don't think he would be nearly as bothered. Eventually he will get past it although with Sami he wasn't with Hope at the time they weren't together when it happened(although it's an ironic parallel given that Hope's son is involved in this pickle). However I think for soapy goodness his reaction doesn't really bother me and I understand it. I don't get the Rosebud joke either(unless I missed something)

I'm honestly surprised Ron never ripped off the Daysaster.

There was nothing left for Ava before that either this exit is long overdue she should've left with Harris. However I'm fine with her going to HK to be with Tripp/Wendy

I posted this in the Casting thread but TB/Ava are leaving on the 3rd. I am sure she'll be back eventually but for now I'm going to enjoy the reprieve if she only took a few other characters with her.
