Welcome to the All the Days of Our Lives Weekly Insider! Here is what will happen this week!

-Adrianna and Tony have a talk

-Chelsea hovers near death-again!

-Rolf is working on something in the basement-EJ! But is his plan going to work?

-Jeannie Donovan comes back to Salem this week!

-Sami gets back to her favourite hobbie!

-Adrianna and Kate decide that the New Years Eve party will also be for John.

-Shane Donovan comes back to Salem this week!

-By the end of the week, Hope finds another one of Gina's things!

Each week I will have a storyline insider. It will look at one of the current storylines, talk about it, and give some previews. This weeks storyline is- Bo&Hope&Gina. The story started out with Bo shoveling the snow, and finding a compact with a "G" on it-Gina's compact that Bo gave to her. He showed it to Hope, and she was shocked. She later went to Stefano, and he claimed he had nothing to do with it. When she left, Stefano took out his chess board, and looked at two queens, a red one, and a black one. The red one had Hope's face on it, and the black one had Gina's face on it... Or is it reversed? Hmm....

It has slowed down for now, but will pick up after the holidays. New Years Eve, to be exact. It will finish during February Sweeps, with a very important question- Is Hope Gina, or Hope?
