WRITER SPEAKS! STATE OF THE BLOG ADDRESS!

“Well, it hasn’t been an easy couple of months, but I survived!”…the headwriter of the blog says with a smile, referencing the fact that the blog was to go off the “air” only to have it receive a last minute reprieve last week. “When I made the decision, I was expecting the months of April through June to be much more hectic than they appear to be so far. I haven’t been able to update the blog as often as I would like to (daily), but that will change. School, finals, graduating et cetera, et cetera – but I did what I could.”…confesses King. “The blog will go back to daily, consistent updates. People were PMing and IMing and leaving messages on the blog saying they thought my blog was the best on SONBC and how much they’d miss it. I factored in their words very carefully with my decision to keep it going. I didn’t want to disappoint anyone!”

“But now, summer is here. Things are great. The cast is better than ever. The storylines are more intense than ever. The returns are greater than ever. And the stakes are higher than ever!”

“To reward readers for their patience through these troubled times, which I am happy to say are OVER, here is a summer preview for my devoted fans!”

"Well, new DAYS are here! Summer has arrived, and things are getting hotter than ever on the blog. Summer will be a time of payoffs. Storylines that have been building for months and some over a year will come to an end. There will be some big casting shockers. Things will be very unpredictable, but many stories will find their ends...but as things do come to an end across the board...there are new beginnings just around the corner!"...promises King.

Stefano/Maggie/Mickey/Alice: Stefano is obsessed with Maggie. She’s the Fury. EVERYONE in Salem is out to expose Maggie. It’s gong to happen the week of May 21st. Maggie will be exposed. Her final victim is going to be the biggest one yet. Now, we need to start answering the question why Maggie started doing this. There has to be redemption in Maggie’s future, but it will seem very unlikely after her last victim is revealed. Her last victim will be a Horton.

John/Marlena: John and Marlena will have many romantic moments in Madrid, but they can’t forget the real reason they are there – to learn exactly what she did during her missing years. I have tortured John and Marlena since the second I started the blog, but it’s all over now. This storyline will be about rewarding the fans. Her secret won’t pull John and Marlena apart like other MISSING YEARS storylines have…this will pull them together – forever.

Nicole/Peter/Sami/Lucas: There will be a big shocker in this storyline that no one saw coming. SETER have a lot of fans, but so do LUMI. It’s going to be a fight to the finish, but only one man will be left standing…only not quite how you think. The end will just be the beginning. There’s no way of predicting how this storyline will go.

Steve/Kayla/Addie/Andy/Calliope/Eugene/Shane/Kim: Addie and Andy are HOT! Emily Harper and Greg Rikaart scorch. And they are both the products of huge 80’s supercouples who will all be back on the scene! Eugene, Calliope, Shane, and Kim are going to help Steve battle his demons. Happiness is right around the corner for Steve and Kayla! Addie and Andy will be involved, but she has been deceiving him from the get-go, and that will be their first issue.

Tony/Kristen/Eric/Greta/Frankie/Melissa/Miguel/Sarah: A huge tragedy is headed for this storyline. Kristen will have a huge internal struggle between her truly good self and her wicked side. Sarah’s photos of Eric and Greta’s affair will come out at the end of May. Frankie is going to have a huge decision on his hands when he learns Greta made love to another man. Miguel is a bad, bad man - with connections to someone else on the canvas! Eddie Cibrian's (Miguel) contract has been extended.

Austin/Carrie: These two are on the canvas to stay! I am so happy about this. And I am also very happy to report they will have a storyline that does not involve Sami Brady or Lucas Roberts. There will not be a love triangle here. Those days are OVER. Austin is going to come face to face with his past – someone from his old boxing days. And Carrie is going to have her hands full while trying to do the right thing. There will be someone who schemes to ruin their lives but it is NOT Lucas, Kate, Laura, Sami, or Mike!

Jan/Jeremy/Georgia: Georgia and Jeremy find they have something very big in common…and they will grow close. This will build to a triangle - a very interesting one since it is between between a Dimera/a Horton/a Brady.

Hope/Bo: Hope still doesn’t forgive Bo for allowing Georgia to lie her way out of the drug accusations which later led to JT’s accident. But also, there is another big obstacle here…Hope absolutely despises Georgia.

Belle/Shawn/Chloe/Philip: These four’s lives are going to continue to be twisted and intertwined. Hope will never forgive Belle for what she did to J.T. and neither will Shawn. Hope’s approval is very important to Shawn. He feels like he and Belle will never be…Chloe and Shawn will be a hot, new couple on the scene. Bjorlin and Beemer sizzle.

Kate/Victor/Caroline: Victor will be making his decision. No matter who Vic picks at this point, it will be a shocker. But…there is a twist not far off. A devastating tragedy, it’s going to be very sad!

Billie/Jack/Jennifer/Laura/Abby/Max: Abby and Max will finally get their happy ending, but she has inherited the mental illness from Laura and Jennifer. Jack will have his hands full with both Billie, who is dying of cancer, and Jennifer, who is back from the “dead” ready to battle her mental illness head on. Jennifer and Billie are very good friends. And Jack and Billie are best friends. This triangle is going to be very big for the summer.

Will: Will has come out of the closet, lost his virginity to his mother’s rapist, was gay bashed, and thought he had murdered his mother’s rapist. He’s been through a lot. But he will go through the toughest thing he has ever gone through…and a love interest is not far off. There will be summer loving for Will.
