But then again, this is Ron, so the obvious speculation is probably true.

Ok so it's only speculation at this point. The only thing official is that Nancy comes to Salem to tell Chloe that she(Nancy) suspects that Craig is having an affair. And there's something surprising (perhaps Nancy's imagination suspects something shocking, or maybe there really is something shocking). And then several days later, Craig arrives in Salem to set things straight with Nancy and Chloe. I mean, it could be something like I saw on another show years ago, the suspected cheater was actually secretly privately tutoring an adult how to read, and that adult student didn't want anyone to know he/she couldn't read -- not even the tutor's spouse. And wasn't there a thing on Days where hospital chief of staff (and lead character) Dr. Tom Horton was going out mysteriously, and his wife Alice was concerned about him. And it turned out Tom had been secretly writing poetry as a hobby and reciting his poetry as at a beatnik coffeehouse under the stage name Norm De Plume. He also wore a disguise so Alice wouldn't know what he was up to. Then one night, Tom was performing, and Alice had figured out where he was, and she slipped into the audidence, and Tom was reciting this love poem he'd written about Alice: A Love Poem for Alice by Norm De Plume (Tom's alias when he became a poet.) You can go years without realizing other people know things about you, you don't. You could walk down the street and pass yourself, without knowing who it was you passed. It's hard enough to catch up with yourself and then it doesn't do you any good because you don't know who it is, you've caught up with. The only one who really knows is the girl. The girl you first danced with. Keep dancing with me, keep dancing with me girl. Don't stop. Please don't stop. If you do,I can't stand, I fall down, I tip over. And of course Alice's heart glowed when she heard his voice and realized he'd been writing love poems about her. I seem to remember that he looked up and saw she was there while he was reciting the poem. I've seen speculation that Craig really is having an affair with someone of any gender. But what if he's not? Maybe Craig is faithful to Nancy. Maybe Craig is secretly doing a mission of mercy, or trying out a new hobby -- and Nancy falsely assumes he's having an affair. At this point, the only thing that indicates that Craig's secret is "shocking" is that Ron tweeted "brace yourselves..." in relation to the announcement that Nancy and Craig are coming to town. Or maybe the devil is multitudes jumping in and out of people- even those who are connected to Salem but not living there. Maybe Craig is doing some crazed scheme under the influence of the devil, but it doesn't have anything to do with sex/romance. The entity has already influenced Philip and Lucas to do crazy things - without actually possessing them.

Because of the topic... in case anyone needs this, List of international suicide hotlines https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/suicide/suicide-prevention-hotlines-resources-worldwide

Yes in June 1984. Beth Maitland won an Emmy. They rebroadcast it in summer 2020 during the classic episode pandemic break reruns. The one they rebroadcast was -Episode #2874. Original US airdate June 27, 1984, when Danny and Cricked found Traci. But there was more to the story in the episodes before and after that.

That is a good point. I don't want that negated. If Craig does come out as gay or bi or fluid, I want it to be a real story and not one of Ron's gimmicks. And it must remain true that Craig genuinely loved and was attracted to Nancy.

Yes JKJ is still in the listed as contract in the closing credits, even though he last aired Dec. 22, 2021. (Philip had done some crazy things, clearly due to mental health issues (and possibly influenced by the Devil) and he would have been arrested, so Kate and Victor arranged for Philip to secretly get mental health therapy out of town; and meanwhile Kate and Victor are maintaining a ruse that Philip was kidnapped by an unknown person, probably Kristen. There's a lot more to it than that, but this is enough to answer the question.) Philip seems to be gone for good, but JKJ is still listed as contract, so I guess he'll return.

Thanks for posting the youtube of the newscasters ranting. I couldn't undertand anything they were saying on the twitter version, except for the word a$$hole. With the youtube, I could use the gear icon, and slow down the speed and also select closed captioning. And then I discovered a transcript in the youtube comments: Transcript Rebecca Maddern: 'Whatever way you look at it, Novak Djokovic is a lying, sneaky, a***hole.' Mike Amor: 'He's an a***hole.' RM: 'Like whatever way you look at it, it's unfortunate that everybody else stuffed up around him. MA: 'That's it, I mean he's an a***hole.' ......... MA: 'He got a bullshit f*****g excuse and then fell over his own f*****g lies. It's just what happens, right, that's what happened.' RM: 'Yeah. And then, he now then ticking he didn't go to Spain.' MA: 'Yeah, yeah.' RM: 'It's just like...' MA: 'I think he's going to get away with it.' RM: 'Oh, he is. He's going to get away with it.' MA: 'I think most fair minded people would say "Look, the bloke's an a***hole". Did we, did they do the right thing by him, I don't know.' RM: 'No. I don't think so.' MA: 'They f****d it up. That's the problem, isn't it?' RM: 'I don't think, I don't think anything was gained by putting him in (an) immigration hotel.' MA: 'No, but the trouble is, how do you justify the person (who is) also on the same plane with him who also has...' RM: 'You can't justify it, but the fact is, life is never fair.' MA: 'Yeah.' RM: 'Some people fly first class and some people, do you know what, it's never fair.' MA: 'Yeah. But that poor Czech girl that was f*****g sent home. Hunted down and sent home.'

I wonder if @Errol means this as a general spoiler hint? or is this related to Craig/Nancy?

"Craig arrives in Salem to set the record straight with Chloe and Nancy." Yeah I've seen more than one person speculate... To set the record straight... that he's not straight?

The original MacGyver with Richard Dean Anderson. I binged it a few months ago. Gotta get my Jeff Webber somehow. But seriously. I loved that this series highlighted MacGyver's refusal to use a gun. And instead used his brain.

I guess the January 2022 preview for Days never got posted. It says that Nancy shows up unexpectedly to tell Chloe some shocking news about Nancy's relationship with Craig. This is from the daily cable guide spoilers: Friday, January 14, 2022 Chloe receives an unexpected visit. Monday 17 January 2022 Nancy explains to Chloe and Brady why she thinks Craig is having an affair. Friday 21 January 2022 Craig arrives in Salem to set the record straight with Chloe and Nancy. And now we have Ron tweeting regarding this storyline: "Brace yourselves…"

The palace statement that Andrew is on his own as a private citizen to defend himself in the trial -- I guess the palace is *finally* acknowledging the problem? Stripping Andrew of all those patronages and military honors, and letting him technically remain "his royal highness" without using the title... That's *exactly* what the Queen did to Harry and Meghan last year. Just sayin' that England rushed to disempower Harry and Meghan who did nothing wrong, they simply left the UK. Yet they waited all this time to disempower Andrew. The denial was strong.

“With the Queen’s approval and agreement, the Duke of York’s military affiliations and royal patronages have been returned to the Queen. The Duke of York will continue not to undertake any public duties and is defending this case as a private citizen.” "Returned to the Queen" means that the queen will take all those military affiliations and royal patronages back to herself .... and then she will redistribute them to the other members of the Royal Family. Andrew will stop using the title 'His Royal Highness' in any official capacity. So technically he still has the title but won't use it. All of this comes after a letter signed by more than 150 Royal Navy, RAF and Army veterans asked the Queen to strip Prince Andrew of his eight British military appointments.

Except for Eden McCoy. She announced on a recent podcast that she recently signed a new multi-year contract with GH, and will continue on GH while also attending college.

Kristen had used Sarah's cellphone to text Maggie that Sarah was enroute to leave the USA to go to some far-off place to do "Doctors Without Borders" and would be unreachable. Maggie fell for it. All this time, Maggie believed that Sarah was with Doctors Without Borders, unreachable. I think Kristen-as-Sarah sent a similar text to Rex -- that she'd decided against a relationship with Rex, and would be out of the country unreachable. Something along those lines. Since Sarah made it clear (via text) that she didn't want a relationship, Rex simply accepted it. But Kristen didn't text Xander in the same way, that Sarah was out of the country. Instead, Kristen set it up so that Xander would believe Sarah left town with Rex. The ruse was discovered only recently when Xander encountered Rex visiting Salem -- and he asked Rex about Sarah, and Xander learned that Sarah had never left with Rex. I mean all of this is sort of reasonable? But you'd think that if Sarah really was with Doctors Without Borders, there would have been an occasional opportunity for her to get a message out to Maggie by email or postal mail, etc. But yeah the point made by another poster above ... Wouldn't Roman and Kate have asked Rex how Sarah is?

MTS is still on contract as of Jan 11th closing credits.

I don't think the Chanel/Allie love scene was supposed to be hot sex. I thought it was tender, gentle, beautiful, and loving. 💗 💗

Robert Newman's acting reel is really good. He last updated the reel 4 years ago. https://robertnewmanonline.com/television-voice-over-reels/

Thanks! I've never seen Guiding Light, so I never had any reason to watch the reunion videos and interviews. Now I'll go look for them!
