If we are using past as a criteria, neither Lucas,JJ, or Tripp is a "good" person. I think the general "disposition " of these characters is that they are "good".

No scenes together so far. That is why I thought it was more personal as in she knows he isn't around the set due to COVID or God forbid she and the cast have information that he won't be with us long.

When they showed John's tribute they flashed to Lindsay Arnold who was in tears. I'm wondering if John is in poor health and the cast may know something.

It's the same time-line. They constantly reference the Peacock jewels in the current Leo storyline.

The Devil was referring to Johnny's grandmother's, Marlena and Susan.

Sydney is only two years younger than the twins. I think they used the term "school" people assumed it was boarding school as opposed to college not knowing her age. Sydney should be 21/22 now.

Sydney has been SORASED, she is in college. Sami and EJ talked about her before Sami was kidnapped last year. Joy missing from the Craig/Nancy storyline is a glaring omission. We have wanted Joy to show up for years. I'm guessing we will get late teen, Parker and Ari next.

They really should of kept David and Rafe together. I actually enjoy Rafe in "Dad mode", his relationships with Allie, Johnny, and Ciara have always been a highlight. Even like when it seemed like he was going to be Chase's guardian back in the day.

Mary, Sami's "nice sweet old lady" neighbor.

Steven Hawk is Benjy's son. I've always said he needs to be on the show. The closest we got is a phone call between Steven and Aunt Gabi last year when he used his shares and sided with Gabi and Jake.

I'm surprised that some viewers are jumping to the "Craig has been deceiving Nancy" take on this storyline. I think the show has done a good job over the last year with showing the exploration of sexuality and how complex it can be. This storyline is just another take on it. Craig is definitely "deceiving" Nancy in terms of being with someone else but that doesn't now translate to their whole life being a lie. Craig and Nancy have been together since high school, broke up briefly during the pregnancy of Chloe, and have been together since. I don't even think Craig has been w/ another woman outside Nancy. This situation is far more complex than "closeted gay man knowingly deceives wife for 40yrs".

I remember that story and the celebrity was Orlando Bloom, before he married Katy Perry. If you have seen his nude photos, I'm sure the night was well worth it.

I got the impression it wasn't necessarily "Eric". Of course Greg Vaughn played the character but I don't think we were supposed to see him as Eric. More so because it's Greg as the homeless man he and Nicole have a connection.

My understanding is the John/Marlena/Kristen timeline was more a "what if" from the perspective of John/Marlena never having the affair. That seemed to me to match up with how they were interacting here. You could tell there was a past but not for decades. That would also explain them not having Belle in this story since she was a result of the affair. It wasn't just a rumor. They actually did not get along for years. They made up though years ago, and Jackee has said the experience on Days has actually made them friends after all these years.

Chad???

Chanel's father died. Paulina has described him as the only good man she had ever been with. He encouraged her and became a stay at home dad so she could build her company. Lani also described him as a good man. Channel referenced him once talking about how close she and Pauline were before his death. He seemed to be the glue of their small family.

I don't mind Cin in general, but put some respect on Lisa Rinna's name. There is no logical reason for Cin to be front and center. They are supporting characters to Lisa's Billie. They seriously don't think they are the draw here. Lisa, Eileen, Chandler, and Christie are the main draws for me.

This was the period where they made John, Colleen Brady and Santo Dimera's son. So John and Kim were first cousins, making Theresa and Brady 2nd cousins. Once Theresa showed up they had Hope deliver a message to Brady saying that John who was off screen, found evidence that he wasn't Colleen and Santo's son Ryan. The whole Colleen and Santo thing was beyond ridiculous. It really was just a Sami/Ej vanity project from TPTB. They should of just left John as Daphne's son. It explained his conception, his Alamain adoption, and why Stefano hated him.

I could of sworn that Sami said Sydney was in college, or she used the word "school" as an exchange for college. It was when EJ was trying to convince her to stay in Salem permanently. They were making the point that all the kids were grown and out of the house. College would match up age wise since she is only two years younger than the twins.

Lisa's beauty brand is on fire right now. Her products have been getting great reviews. At first I didn't like the idea of her on housewives but she has proven to be successful on the show and sort of play the game.

Yeah, that was really the only reason. So her and Brady who were cousins wouldn't realize it. Then magically another retcon that erased that and made them unrelated to date one another.

Could be. What is confusing is that there has been no announcement about Stacey leaving so presumably she is still with the show meaning there would be no reason to go after Eileen for Kristen/Susan/Banks siblings. That's what leads me to believe she is playing a different possibly new character. Or like I mentioned above there will be some sort of twist if she is playing an existing character we know. Unless she is playing Billie's partner she will most likely be in only one episode like the rest of the recurring cast. Seems like a lot of energy to get Eileen to come do what is essentially a cameo unless they have something interesting planned. We will see.

The scenes when Roman found out about Allie's rape. Roman returned back in Salem, Kayla greeted him and said she was happy to hear that Austin and Carrie had got back together, Roman confirmed it was great news and he had a great time visiting with them and Noah.

The show is actually centered around Lisa Rinna's Billie. As an ISA agent she is on a case regarding jewelry. My understanding is that Billie is the recurring character thru all 5 episodes with the characters from Salem interacting with her in the different locations. I'm guessing each episode will feature a different group of Salemites. Also Carrie and Austin are actually back together Roman informed us when he returned from visiting them and Noah. I actually don't think that Eileen is playing Kristen. All the articles I saw conveniently don't mention Kristen at all. All the other announcements proudly declare the return of said actors and their characters except for Eileen. My first guess was Susan or a Banks sibling but then thought they have Stacy already at Days for any of those roles. My guess is she is playing a totally new character or there is some sort of "plot twist" to having her there.

Ally and Johnnie are 23/24 now. Not that bad as far as SORASED kids.
