Spoilers And Shockers

[boes]

If this spoiler is true, this is a huge shocker.

 

Adam Mayfield, ex-Scott Chandler from AMC, is coming to DOOL (he is already taping), rumor is that he's an EJ recast.

 

Kimberly will be coming to town.  That will probably mess with Eve's lies to Paige about Shane's health.

 

Adam Mayfield.....to be kind, was not someone I liked very much on AMC, where he played Scott Chandler.  (As did Daniel Cosgrove and he did a GREAT job with the role).  To be fair, the writing for AMC when he was was about as bad as it gets and he had little to work with.  Maybe he's better than what I saw.....

 

If EJ is alive, at least he won't be paired with Sami, which is something.

That is just ridiculous.  My thumb is the skinniest part of my body for FF through Jennifer and Abigail.  I can't take anymore.  For once, leave someone dead.

 

If EJ returns and is STILL DEAD, and his story arc is really short, and his main purpose is to drag Abigail into the grave with him, I'm all for it.  

 

I'd LOVE to see Abigail doing her shower sex thingy with a zombie EJ, as body parts - and I don't care which, either - fall off during foreplay.  Could finally be the storyline that sends Abigail into SUPER STARDOM.  yeah?

[Rick Kitchen]

Where are they going to say Justin is? Port Charles?

 

 

They say he's in Dubai.  The family used to live there when they were off the show (Sonny mentioned once about it being difficult to be gay in Dubai), Justin is doing business there.

[loiswests]

He's not an EJ recast. SON updated their info and his character is connected to Serena.

-----

UPDATE 8:56 PM, ET: A “DAYS” rep tells Soap Opera Network, “He’ll be onfor a shortarc inJanuary. Someone from Serena’s [Melissa Archer] past.”

[Rick Kitchen]

only a short arc.  Shorter than Bree's?

Guy Wilson interview on WilSon, PaulSon and ... Derrick:

 

http://soapcentral.com/days/news/2014/1215-wilson_iview.php

[271days]

Well, like we've said before, Derek probably outs Paul, leaving him free to pursue Sonny and/or he has photos of Sonny in Paul's hotel room kissing/having sex/borrowing money which might lead to Sonny confessing that he kissed Paul before Will even came back home(if that matters by then).

It sounds like Will finds out about Paul, and Sonny tells him that Paul is the past, he can never come out, etc, etc. Then Derrick comes along and exposes the fact that Sonny and Paul have a present as well as a past, then Will will question whether Sonny is in love with Paul, leading to them breaking up.

[271days]

Well spoilers for the week of the 29th say that Paul gets some devastating news. Jawn asks RoboMar for a second chance. Clyde seeks Aiden's services. Eric is livid when he discovers what Nicole has been up to regarding Serena. Chad confesses to Jordan about his past with Melanie and Brady and Melanie share a passionate kiss.

Other spoilers say that Melanie goes to visit Gabi in prison, Dan lets Nicole have it when he finds out what Nicole has done and Rafe gets booted off the force. Paul tells Sonny he is still in love with him and wants a second chance, but Sonny's husband stands in the way.

[271days]

I would guess that Paul finds out that a) his shoulder is permanently damaged,

b) teams have found out that he has had surgery and no one wants him, c) Sonny doesn't want him or d) that his grandfather has died. I'm thinking it's the last one,because something has to bring his mother to Salem.

If Paul found out that he couldn't play ball now, there's no drama in him being outed and whatever Derrick will end up having on him will be moot. He could just come out and that's that. No one will care about a gay former baseball player IMO.

Eww to Brady and Toothy because they always gave off a brother/sister vibe. I guess toothy is going head to head with Kritter just like her dad.

At least Chad is bringing up his history with Melame,because she might be free when Theresa finds out about the baby. Typical of this show to probably make it like Theresa is keeping Melanie and Brady apart with the baby that was stolen from her.

Nicole should just tell Eric and Dan to go to hell at this point.

[271days]

More spoilers from DR for week of Dec 29: JJ tells Paige he slept with someone else. Will blasts Sonny for taking money out of their joint bank account to pay for more work on the club expansion, and Sonny's dreams are crushed.

If the club or clubs go down the tube, I will be happy. Sonny needs to work at Titan with Brady. I would be sorry if T loses his job, but I don't care about Ben.

I just hope that Paul isn't outed by Will.

That sure makes it sound like Eric is just her character's introduction onto the canvas.

[Black Knight]

I got just the opposite impression, that the storyline with Eric is her storyline. She talks about how there are a lot of slow moments between them, which means DAYS is doing a slow burn with the couple. It's going to go on for a long time, then, and a slow burn generally means the show is quite serious about the pairing.

 

I like that she referenced Nicole as a frenemy, because while I would prefer that Nicole move on from Eric so she can be her fabulous self again (I associate Ericole entirely with "misery"), if she's going to be involved I would prefer something more complex than just the two women being enemies over Eric. Frenemies could be fun, especially with AZ and MA in these roles, and I can always hope for them to progress even from that and become outright friends.

Rafe is going to get fired from the PD for his investigations on the DiMeras.  But the funny thing is that he's going to wind up working as a bartender, which makes me wonder, will he be working for Sonny?  And then, by extension, for Chad?

 

Daniel breaks up with Nicole when he finds out she's been snooping on Serena.

I wonder if Dan breaking up with Nicole - again - means that Serena is going to have to go through the Dirty Dan Dating Circuit too.  It seems to be something new female characters are required to do, like hazing.  Except not as pleasant, or as clean.

 

Rafe as a bartender.....Just what everyone wants, a bartender with attitude.  If he works at TBD, just imagine how much fun that place will be with both him and Ollie and those joint pouting pusses of theirs.

At least Rafe's pretty,........

I know he has his flaws, but I would not be totally opposed to seeing what kind of a pulse Serena could muster in Rafe.

[bantering]

At least Rafe has proper eyebrows for a male.

[Rick Kitchen]

Serena can't hook up with Daniel until she becomes one of his patients.

[Sidney]

I know he has his flaws, but I would not be totally opposed to seeing what kind of a pulse Serena could muster in Rafe.

 

If she can breathe some life into Eric, then there's a chance she could breathe some into Rafe. 

[shesajar]

I still don't see the appeal of the character or the actress, so I think the writers are breathing life into Eric, rather than Serena. This is the first time since GV has been in the role that he's been allowed to relax. 

[sometimesfan]

If she can breathe some life into Eric, then there's a chance she could breathe some into Rafe. 

 

She's had to breathe life into worse. ;)

[Sidney]

She's had to breathe life into worse. ;)

 

LOL. I agree. Although I'm loving the scenes between her and Eric, I want to see her mixed it up with other characters, too.

Same here.

[boes]

Ain't that the truth!  At least if she is forced into a hook up at some point with Dirty Dan, she'll be in familiar territory.  I think she must have carried the industrial-sized package of handiwipes when she was involved with McPain.

Here are some Blind Items from Daytime Confidential that sound like they could be about Days:

 

More top secret returns are headed to this sudser.

 

No one wants to work with this soap hunk. If his current on screen romance doesn’t work out, there’s talk of another recast or resting the character.

 

One popular soap princess has taken her sweet time in warming up to her new leading man. Considering how long she tends to sit on the backburner, you’d think she’d be happy to have a hot new storyline!  -  A few people speculated this could be about Kristian Alfonso.

[loiswests]

I think the soap hunk is Burgess Jenkins from YR.

[loiswests]

Corday has described the 50th as "bombastic" and "explosive" so I'm guessing Days will be the soap that has the disaster storyline.

This isn't really a spoiler or a shocker, just a tidbit of an article from Michael Fairman's site, quoting Deirdre Hall about Billy Flynn's character, Chad - 

 

Chad’s The Kind Of Man You Don’t Want Your Daughter To Date But Are Secretly Glad When She Does!”

 

You tell it, Deidre!  Billy Flynn has been making an impact as the Chad DiMera on NBC’s Days of our Lives! The young actor was just named On-Air On-Soaps Best Newcomer of 2014 Male for his performances on our year-end Best and Worst in Soaps 2014.

TV Guide’s Michael Logan also has singled Flynn out as a scene stealer in new piece that is online and in the publication this week bullet-pointing some interesting backstage moments from Flynn’s rise to to being one of the hottest talent additions in daytime.

The iconic Deidre Hall (Marlena, DAYS) had this to say about Chad and Flynn’s take on the character:  “Flynn has a ‘sexy sophistication that’s delicious.’ But even she’s torn: ‘Chad’s the kind of man you don’t want your daughter to date but are secretly glad when she does.”‘

Check out next week's promo. Sneasel is kissing Paul! I don't know how to post the link. I was so wrong about Sonny being the bad guy for once, but this is just like what I said about EJabby. Will and Sonny are obviously strained as we saw over NYE just like EJami were, and then bam!

Edited January 2, 2015 by 271queenie

[Rick Kitchen]

I wonder what Sonny's resolution was.

 

Here's the link to the promo clip for next week.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sPnyO1FWTQ

[lilly6]

Oh Sneasel.  Really?

[Rick Kitchen]

Note that the clothes Paul and Will are wearing in the kiss clip are not the ones they were wearing on New Year's Eve, so it won't happen Monday unless Will comes back.  But could it be a dream?

[lilly6]

Good catch!

[DisneyBoy]

I immediately dislike Paul for kissing with Sneans...I mean Will.

 

Do we have an ETA on Kristin's return?  I assume it'll be February, but I wanted to be sure.  I can't bear to watch another minute of this show unless ED is in there, getting to chew the scenery and be nutty.

 

And since it's a new year, here are my prediction's for DOOL's big 50th anniversary.

 

What Will Probably Happen:

-Marlena and John will have a mushy reconciliation that will brush aside the issues that pulled them apart and dump blame/responsibility on Kristin and everyone else

-Their vow renewal will be the big anniversary episode

-Kristin's pregnancy will go forward through the summer until the baby is in Teresa's arms and Kristin is dead

-Stefano will "die" for reals, but not before unleashing zombie EJ on Salem (well, not a zombie, really, but a purely revenge-seeking EJ, to torment Sami, back for a week or two's worth of episodes)

 

What I Would LIKE To See Happen:

-Marlena use her freaking brain to call John out on his nonsense and finally call it quits with their "romance"

-John to feel like a piece of poo and have to work overtime to be taken seriously by anyone within proximity

-Kristin's sudden miraculous ability to carry a baby to term be EXPLAINED

-Kristin to have ZERO interest in Brady and instead maybe realize she's wasting her life hurting herself (fat chance, right?)

-Bo to come back and work 24/7 to earn back Hope from Aiden (who I actually kinda like)

-Abigail and Gaby and Will to get murdered by zombie EJ (only, like, a real zombie)

-Stefano and Marlena to just DO THE DEED ALREADY (come on - it's the 50th, right?  And she could really use some)

[Rick Kitchen]

Spoilers:

 

 

According to Adrienne, Justin cheated.

 

No, no, no, no, I refuse to believe it.

 

 

- Paul gets close to Will for a kiss ...
- Will presses Paul to admit he is gay.
- Unsuspecting Sonny shows up at the hotel!
- Bellboy Derek stops Sonny from going in Paul's room.

 

 

 

There is this man from Serena's past ...

 

I knew she was hiding something.

 

Rumors that Theresa and Rafe will hook up.

[Rick Kitchen]

Another rumor is that when Kristen returns, she will let it slip that EJ is not dead.

[boes]

According to Adrienne, Justin cheated.

 

Rumors that Theresa and Rafe will hook up.

 

Justin did not cheat.  It was a bad connection and what he really said was sheep - or weep - or heap - all of which would make sense, with him being forced to live under a false in Port Charles.  Maybe the word he said was weep - something I too feel like doing sometimes watching these shows.

 

So is Rafe going to give Theresa the little wifey routine he tried on Sami?  I'm having trouble seeing Rafe with someone who actually wants to enjoy life and him not immediately trying to squelch it.

[lilly6]

I could handle Rafe and Theresa. 

[271days]

Well, at least the speculation that Paul is Lucas's son can die forever. I doubt this show would have the temerity to do a closeted gay incest adultery storyline.

As much as I vehemently oppose cheating stories, part of me is curious to see how far the show will go with this.

I'm not saying Will is going to go the whole nine yards with Paul, but if he did, would we get EJabby-type scenes with trysts all over Salem?

Don't get me wrong, I've had enough of sex flashbacks to last a lifetime, but from a equality perspective, I would be interested to know if the directors and producers would be as obsessive about showcasing Paul and Will's bodies as they were about Abby's?

I think I know the answer.

[bantering]

That clip -- what the...

 

 I mean we had joked about this happening. But I'm in a bit of the same shock I was when I saw the EJabby promo last New Year's. Shaking my head...

[jsm1125]

I could handle Rafe and Theresa. 

Have they ever had a scene or interacted?

[boes]

Have they ever had a scene or interacted?

 

Not that I can remember.  Maybe he meets her when he finds his new job.

[271days]

If Paul was so chuffed that Sonny came to his hotel looking for him (when Sonny has previously refused to go there), why does he kiss Will? Paul has been good about rebuffing Derrick so far, so why can't he just wait Sonny out if he thinks they have a chance?

[TeeVee329]

If Paul was so chuffed that Sonny came to his hotel looking for him (when Sonny has previously refused to go there), why does he kiss Will?

 

I'd hazard a guess that, in between today and the Will/Paul kiss, Sonny and Paul will have another scene where Sonny says he's in love with his husband and urges Paul to move on, prompting Paul to proposition Will for a little "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with!" nookie.

There seems to be a lot of 'love the one you're with' around town. Nicole is with Dan but she'd rather be with Eric, Theresa is going on the hunt for a new victim and Chad seems to be with Jordan because he can't have Abby/Melanie. JJ did Eve because Paige was away, and Adrienne seems to be honeying up to Lucas in Justin's absence.

A soaps.com spoiler for next week says that 'Paul comes clean with Sonny, hoping to win him back' How many times can they have the same convo? I guess I shouldn't be shocked since this is the same show that had Melanie take out that money a hundred times and then again with Serena and the envelope in the safe.

[LeftPhalange]

According to Adrienne, Justin cheated.

 

Adrienne and Lucas are going to have sex, aren't they? :(

Things just keep getting worse and worse. Can that rat bastard EJ stay dead for at least a year before they undead him.

The part of Paul's mother, Tori Narita, has been cast.

 

She apparently had a one day role on Days in 2009.
