I think the US Open is going to be shown on those preemption days.

 

I see it now - They have Kelly Clarkson at noon so I couldn't figure why they had that in place of Days.  I didn't look at the rest of the schedule but I see at 2pm it says US Open so they must have bumped Days to give the afternoon programs a time for their shows since the Open is later in the day.  That's good, at least it's only a few days they'll be off and not an extended break.

How did Jan end up in coma and how long was she in a coma ?

Jan and Mimi, her partner in crime, argued when Mimi found out that Jan had held Shawn against his will (when he escaped, he got into a motorcycle accident, and when he got better, he thought that Jan was his girlfriend, and went back to her), Jan and Mimi argued, and Jan hit her head on a rock. We don't know how long she was actually in a coma, but when she showed up in New York during the digital series, it had been 15 years.

Is Jan being Janet established canon? Because I can totally see Ron retconning Jan's name as a nod to Janet From Another Planet on All My Children. She was the show crazy person, although they did allow her a few good years before she went criminally insane again in a really offensive way. The actress who played Janet from Another Planet also played Heather on GH during Ron's reign.

I thought it was more of a nod to the fact that outside of The last Blast storylines we really don't know that much about her and it's been over 15 years since she was on the show. 

I think it was part that and part Ron referencing Janet from Another Planet from All My Children. Both seem very Ron.

Not sure, but it is a Robin Mattson character, and he wrote her character Heather on General Hospital as being insane like Janet from Another Planet.

Heather was crazy before Ron wrote for her though. He did make her repulsive whereas in the past Heather was more nuanced even at her worst.

Ava and Steve?

were they ever a real couple ?

At some point after Steve died thanks to Lawrence and before the Dimeras obtained him, he had amnesia and was involved with Ava and they were together. I don't know what split him up but eventually he would find an equally not dead Jack and they would head back to Salem to find Kayla and Jennifer. Eventually Ava would show up in town after Steve got his memories and Kayla gave birth to Joey.

How did Sami find out about Rex and Mimi supposedly killing Dr Rolf ? 

This was back in 2007 when Joe Mascolo returned to Days to reprise the role of Stefano . 

And Rolf showed up with Stefano despite the fact that back in 2003 we all saw Rolf and Rex arguing at the docks and a box of crates fell on Rolf and Mimi came in time to see Rolf dead and even wondered if Rex killed him. But they ended up carrying his body and dumped his corpse on a park bench where Stefano's fellow minion ,Bart , found him and assumed that Rolf was fast asleep . Then Bart was busy reminiscing about Stefano while conversing with Rolf's corpse and bizarrely the scene was used for comedic effect because Bart didnt realise Rolf was dead. Anyway ,this even coincided with Nicole 's latest plan to kill Victor by tag teaming with Larry Welch , who was arrested for kidnapping Zack and Hope . Nicole came accross Rolf's corpse and actually took it to the Kiriakis mansion's stables and hid it in a freezer as she planned to use the corpse to fake Larry's death in a mini prison break when Larry was due to be escorted to court in a police car.

Nicole managed to use Rolfs corpse to stop the police car transporting Larry and she held the cop at gun point and freed Larry and they then set the car on fire and dumbed rolf's corpse in the car to fool salem PD into believing Larry was dead. 

 

As you can see , Sami was nowhere near this storyline . So how did she find out about it ?

 

Because she said to Rolf " But you are dead , didnt Rex and Mimi kill you"?

 

And rolf replied " yes ,but my death simply did not take ". 

 

How did Sami find out about this ?

I loved both Broe and Phloe. As kind of a recap...

1.) Circa 1999 Chloe showed up as a bullied teenaged girl who we were told was ugly because she wore glasses, and all black.  Also she's weird because she sings opera. Jan Spears called her "ghoul girl" and it caught on with the school. Phillip, in the meantime, was the living embodiment of the Abercrombie and Fitch craze. They slowly become a couple over the course of the 1999-2000 school year, aka 10th grade. At the end of 10th grade, we get the Last Chance Blast, where Jan Spears plans to "Carrie" Chloe and dump stuff on her. Instead, it goes on Phillip. We learn that Chloe is actually a gorgeous woman when her Evermore-style cape is pulled off at the dance and she's wearing a sexy red dress. Also, she takes off her glasses.

2.) During the summer of 2000, everyone is rallying around the Lockheart family because it turned out they were homeless, so they do a whole Habitat for Humanity storyline. This is where we get introduced to Brady, a suddenly 19-year old dude who's all cynical and stuff because he's angry at the world.

3.) Brady and Chloe get to know each other over the course of 2000-2001, but it's mostly a "we hate each other but maybe we actually like each other?" kind of deal. Meanwhile Chloe and Phillip continue having their relationship. Things come to a head when Chloe is humiliated in front of the entire school at the Last Chance Blast Dance of 2001, where Jan Spears with the blackmailed help of Mimi Lockheart projects nude photos of Chloe that they took in the school shower, to make it look like Chloe decided to become a porn star. Phillip for whatever reason believes this is true and dumps her, although he later realizes he was wrong and Chloe had not actually decided to become a porn star. As a result of this, most of the school goes on a trip to Puerto Rico as a last resort to solve Salem High's rampant bullying problem. (Aside from Chloe, there was also a girl that was called Gigantor for being fat, a nerdy boy who we knew was nerdy because he wore glasses, and a girl who was deemed a tomboy aka lesbian.) 

Chloe does not go on this trip, and she and Brady get to know each other more. It turns out that Brady can sing and we're treated to a rendition of "Sixteen Going on 17" at a Gazebo. They become better friends throughout this summer.

4.) Flashforward to the summer of 2002. Chloe gets leukemia just as everybody graduates, with her fainting at the Last Chance Blast Dance. By this point, Brady realizes that he's in love with Chloe, and he becomes obsessed with finding Chloe's birth father to get him to donate his blood marrow. We also see Brady having hallucinations of his dead mother, who encourages him to accept Marlena as his mother as well as finally go after Chloe. Belle is also encouraging Brady to go after Chloe as well.

At some point they decide to get marry because they think Chloe is dying...it's very The Fault in Our Stars.

Why did they did the go to Puerto Rico

They were looking for Alice's lost ruby, or something silly like that. A rather ridiculous attempt to show Shawn and Belle as the new Bo and Hope.

And they really didn't go to PR.  They just re-purposed the beach/lake/park sets.

The biggest event of the "summer adventure" was the bonding of Nicole and Jan Spears (the Heather Olsen version).  Nicole's father Paul Mendes raped Jan, who then killed him after she discovered she had gotten a STD and was pregnant.

See that ? And TIIC expect us to believe that Chloe and Brady would just break up and not even be in each other's lives and act like they were never married. 

On top of that ,I doubt the real Chloe pre -2007 would have just granted drug addict Brady a divorce just like that

 She would have fought tooth and nail to retain her marriege to Brady- the same man who went on a mini adventure to help her search for her supposed bio daddy. The same man who was there for her during her liuekemia . Same man who helped spark her interest in  Opera music. Broke them up and had both of them act like their marriege wasnt anything as both of them went on bedhopping sprees with Chloe doing Philip,Daniel and Lucas within one year and then doing Quinn(Vivian's contrieved son) and freaking Deimos  while Brady went on a bedhopping spreee which began with Arianna and then proceeded to  Nicole,Madison ,Melanie, Kristen,Eve,Theresa etc .

 

And please dont get started on that disgusting storyline where Chloe became a hooker when all she had to do was tell Brady ,Philip and her parents that Kate was blackmailing her into becoming a hooker. Simple as that. 

Damn you Dena Higley

Yes ,I will admit Martsolf and Eileen had chemistry . Fine . 

Nadia also had chemistry with Jay . Fine

 

 

Parker should have been Brady and Chloe's son and Tate as well.

Tate defanged and killed Theresa's edge .it was too early to give Theresa a baby .

. But all the other pairings were major league flops as they went nowhere .and it makes you wonder why TIIC even broke them up in the first place only to subject us to these other awful pairings. 

 

 

 

Reunite them right now!!

I liked the quasi Jan /Nicole sisterhood thing. Both were subjected to abuse at the hands of Paul Mendes and i imagine thats what led them to being quasi BFFs even though Nicole later on treated Jan poorly since Nicole was probably afraid of getting close to anybody even though she asked Jan to help her whack Victor. 

I can buy Jan and nicole being BFFs more than the stupid Chloe/Nicole BFF relationship.

Infact ,I still say Chloe and Nicole should have broken up after the Holly  debacle or at the recent court battle between Nicole and Sami where Sami was supposed to expose the fact  that Chloe's facial reconstruction surgery  wasnt botched and that Nicole deliberately sabotaged the surgery by sneaking in the operating room dressed like a surgeon after Stan ,the man ( Sami in disguise ) supplied her with the surgery gear to disguise herself. Chloe should have then gotten up and decked Nicole right there and then and telling her to go to hell .

  Then have Nicole and Jan reunite and then they can add Ava and they become a trio just like Billie ,Kristen and Jennifer back in the 1990s .

Arianna always seemed like a huge missed opportunity to me. She had good chemistry with Brady, EJ, and her brother and sister. She was a good potential rival for Sami. And played by an established soap actress. Why did she not work out?

Was Sami Brady ever punished/reprimanded for altering the paternity test results for her sister Belle Black?  And how long after the truth came out about Belle's paternity did Roman and Marlena split?

Everyone found out that Sami switched the results at Belle's baptism, thanks to Stefano. This happened after Sami had already kidnapped Belle, planned to sell her on the blackmarket and then decided to runaway to raise Belle as her daughter. If she didn't get punished for that, what is a little bit of paternity switching in the overall picture of things.

Roman threw Marlena out and John would get penthouse/townhouse for Marlena and Belle. Sami chose to stay with her father but then Roman left town on some ISA business when WN left the show. I think Sami then had to stay with Marlena or she moved into the pub with her grandparents.

Sydney Grace baby switch 

have only seen some clips on YouTube 

how was it revealed Nicole switched the babies ?

why did Brady support Nicole ?   Was he not close to his sister ?

Sami when into witness protection because she saw a hitman killed Salem's mayor at the Dimera mansion. She had recently found out that she was pregnant and kept putting off in telling EJ that they were having another baby. Meanwhile EJ slept with Nicole went Sami kept pushing and pushing him away and signed the papers to end their marriage. Nicole became miraculously pregnant so Sami found another reason to not tell EJ the truth. 

Bigmouth Lucas was in the hospital with Sami when the doctor told her that she was pregnant and he told Chloe whom he was seeing at the time. Chloe told Nicole as the convent near where Sami was hiding in witness protection.

EJ after he verified that Nicole was indeed pregnant and that he was the father, decided to make a family with her and moved her into the mansion. He managed to get in a phone call with Sami who was debating on telling him about the baby and he basically told Sami that he was moving on with his life with Nicole. So Sami continued to keep quiet about the baby.

Nicole lost the baby when EJ had to travel out of town for business. Brady was with her when she started to have cramps and rushed to the nearest clinic where Dr Baker couldn't save the baby.

She begged Brady to keep her miscarriage a secret and started to wear a baby bump to fool everyone. She told EJ that they couldn't have sex anymore during her pregnancy because the doctor said it was too risky. She said that she only trusted Dr Baker as her doctor.

Dr Baker was degenerate gambler and he had a side hustle of selling babies on the black market. Originally Nicole was paying him off to keep quiet and then manage to get a pregnant teen mom to give her baby to her. This turns out to be Mia who got pregnant by her boyfriend.

However Nicole was seething that Sami was having another baby with EJ when she lost her miracle baby. She arranged to meet with one of the nuns to talk about the wonderful clinic where she was having her baby and passed along Baker's card.

As it only happens in soaps, Nicole was with Mia in her apartment when she went into labor and she helped to deliver Grace. Mia handed her baby over to Nicole who promised that she was going to give her a great home and be a wonderful mother. At the convent, Sami went into labor and the nun took her to this clinic where she gave birth to Sydney. Sydney had trouble breathing when she was born so Baker took her to another room to get it under control.

Nicole was there waiting for him with Grace and she demanded that he switch the babies as she was paying a hefty amount for all his dirty dealings. Baker took Grace to Sami who left the clinic with her. Then Nicole called EJ to the clinic and told him that she had the baby.

Brady kept quiet because he saw how miserable Nicole was when she lost her baby and he believed that she was raising Mia's baby. He did not know about the switch.

Finally, I didn't mention that in witness protection, we had the misfortune of having Rafe joining the show when he is assigned to guarding Sami. Why the FBI sent him, I will never know but they suck completely for sending him. Anyway, the day Sami went into labor, Rafe was somewhere else fighting off the hitman that wanted to kill Sami because she could idenitify him. Sami was all alone in Baker's clinic except for the nun and Rafe showed up at the clinic after the babies were switched. 

At some point, and for the only time on this show, Rafe figured out a clue. He realized that a disguised Nicole had talked to the nun about the clinic. He realized that both Grace and Sydney were born on the same day at the clinic. He started to suspect something was fishy about Nicole's behavior especially after Grace had died. He went around to investigate a few of the clues and that Baker's baby sellling business.

EJ had overheard Nicole and Brady talking about a secret and he bugged her and found her fake baby bump and that she lost the baby. She told him that Mia gave her baby to them. EJ threw Nicole out for her many, many lies. He also knew that the adoption was illegal and they would most likely lose Sydney. In fact, Mia's boyfriend came back to town and he was introduced to the audience as Chad. Chad wanted his baby and met with EJ for the first time.

After Grace died,  Sami told EJ that she was their baby and he was not happy that she kept this huge secret and only told him after Grace died. They fought over Johnny, over Grace's tombstone, over the fact that Sami had Rafe playing father to their child, and then EJ's treatment of Nicole after he threw Nicole out.

Sami mistakenly believed that motherhood had changed Nicole and that they became friends because Nicole had convinced EJ to drop his case of sole custody of Johnny and being nice to her when Grace died. When EJ threw Nicole out, Sami invited her and Sydney to stay with her and was going to get her money so she could get out of town before Chad had a chance to get custody of his daughter.

Rafe got dna samples of Sydney and tested her against Sami and EJ where it proved that Sydney was their daughter. The truth came out and Nicole was arrested. Brady paid her bail but still didn't know that Sydney was Sami's daughter. Nicole made a beeline for the Dimera mansion where she kidnapped Sydney. Again.

There may be some details that I missed but for the most part that was the big baby switch on Days.

Don't forget he called Marlena a whore and I never forgave Roman for that.   You don't call your wife out her name like that and it just showed how Roman no longer knew Marlena anymore.  JER really wanted the audience to hate him and it worked.  Roman got awful writing and was treated like an extra in his own story.  The writing was skewed towards John.

I know I did. 

Although it would have natural for Sami to feel closer to John than Roman, I for one was glad that she chose Roman over John (and Marlena).

Although it was Stefano that "killed" Roman and took him away and then replaced him with John, John was living his best life (Roman's) with Marlena and with Roman's children. When the truth came out and Roman came back,  his family and friends felt sorry for John and wanted to make things better for him. Hell even Roman's archnemis dropped his feud with him and transfered it over to John. Meanwhile Roman was taken away from his loved, missed the first years of the twin's lives and imprisoned for years.

Roman's crime? He was trying to stop Stefano and all his evil, criminal deeds.
