I think they suddenly brought back Vail Bloom as Heather first to take over as Phyllis' attorney when CLB took leave for cancer treatment; and I speculate that they kept her on because of Christel Khalil eventually taking maternity leave. Lucy has so many connections in town and I think the actress Lily Brooks O'Briant does a good job, and would be great if Griffith actually *wrote* a teen storyline but ... he probably won't. I don't know if they'll ever address that Lucy's biomom was Daisy and her biograndmother is Sheila. I'm fine with Heather being the stepmom who raised Lucy, and Phyllis being the annoying grandmother, LOL.

Gwen always called him Matty.

EJ/Nicole fans: Give them a pairing. Eric/Nicole fans: get them together and give them a baby: A lot of viewers from everywhere: Get rid of Leo. Ron: Make Leo the center of Nicole giving birth. Ron: Have the Spectator claim that Leo is a folk hero. Ron: Make Nicole mourn her third dead baby. I am so angry.

I said she's unapologetic, which she is but.. after that Kyle/Audra convo, he leaves and then Audra texts him an apology "I handled that badly" but I mean ... it's obviously just another manipulation from her. I almost never root for villains but Zuleyka's Audra is mesmerizing!

The regal Zuleyka as unapologetic Audra, who owns her character's desire for power ... Tues 11/14 CDN (Wed 11/15 US) I had this behind spoiler tags. Now that this has aired in the USA, I'm removing the spoiler tags. Part one part two

https://twitter.com/DougJones/status/1723867815931765116 Doug Jones @DougJones Well here you go. This article confirms what we’ve known all along: there is an orchestrated effort by Republicans to get third parties like No Labels and independent candidates to run for President in order to dilute the votes of Joe Biden and put Trump back in the White House. Sen. Steve Daines, the head of the RSCC spend months trying to persuade Trump to endorse the governor of West Virginia in a Senate bid agains Joe Manchin. Here’s the quote: “Daines argued to Trump that endorsing Justice could knock Manchin out of the race — and make the Democrat more likely to run for president, siphoning votes from Biden.” Come on @JoeManchinWV, don’t take the bait! https://www.politico.com/news/2023/11/09/inside-the-gops-operation-to-retire-manchin-00126472 ____________________________________

Dimitri went to the hospital first with the baby, as Leo directed him to do... but then as he arrived he saw Rafe there and was afraid of being arrested so he quickly left without being seen. I have no idea why Dimitri brought the baby to Sloan's place. Maybe Dimitri knows that Sloan is Leo's lawyer? Maybe that's why he brings her the baby? He probably knows that Sloan can handle shady situations. He might not even know that Sloan was planning to adopt, unless he heard Nicole and EJ discussing things at the DiMansion before he was kicked out. Clearly Dimitri just wants a way out of Salem and doesn't care about the health of the premature baby.

omg @depboy your recaps of November and December 1973 from 50 years ago -- these characters Gordon Grey and Florence Gray. Gordon is Laura Webber Collins' biological father. And Gordon Grey and Florence Gray are the parents of present-day characters Martin Grey and Cyrus Renault. I didn't know that Gordon and Florence were part of an actual storyline from 50 years ago. I was watching every day after school. But if I missed something, there was no internet and I had no access to soap magazines, so I often missed parts of storylines, or I completely forgot that some characters existed. And now we get to see the recaps of this. Cool! Fifty years ago!

PROMO

^ sometime this week ______________________________________________________________ Spoiler pics for Monday Nov. 13: https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/spoilers-days/days-spoilers-photos-desperate-decisions-and-a-miraculous-reveal/ and https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/spoilers-days/days-spoilers-photos-desperate-decisions-and-a-miraculous-reveal/

Whether or not the storylines make sense or will be trite ... I thought the promo itself was well-made.
