I don't think a Sasha recast is needed at all, but if needed, for flashbacks or whatever, Sofia's sister is the most reasonable idea. (not a spoiler or rumor or anything at all -- nothing is predicted or even speculated.). Just sayin, if they have to have her at some point. Sofia Mattsson's sister Helena was a temporary substitute for Sasha in 2022. Here are pictures of both: https://scanmagazine.co.uk/helena-and-sofia-mattsson-hollywood-highs-and-a-vegan-venture/

I am enjoying "rewatch" podcasts of various older shows. The actors show scenes from shows they were in many years ago, and then discuss the episodes. I've seen some StarTrek ones, some about the original Charmed series, and also from HomicideLifeOnTheStreet. These are more interesting (to me) because they are talking about cancelled series (and in the case of StarTrek, prior series), so the hosts and guests can be more frank and direct.

This came from person/persons who attended a fan event/events with DAYS actor/actors (on zoom and/or in person). The information was relayed by event attendee(s) who posted about it. I do think they posted as accurately as they were able. I think October was mentioned, not September, but either way, in the autumn. As I had mentioned, the currently-airing storylines are Cwikly/Ford playing out what had already been set in motion by Ron before they started. Plus Cwikly/Ford specifically said that Gwen's July return had already been arranged before they took over writing episodes that began airing late April. I said that the only *new* stuff they wrote was John's death and funeral and the surrounding events with Bope/Pandrew. ADDING onto the above conversation: I forgot to mention that SORASed Arianna Horton began airing around the time that Cwikly/Ford episodes began airing, so her storyline is largely theirs. Ron didn't write for SORASed Arianna. I don't know who/how/when her hiring was arranged, but her episodes are written by Cwikly/Ford. I also forget to mention that the Cwikly/Ford interviews in April mentioned that there would be stuff happening for the 60th anniversary airing in November 2025, but that is expected. Not going into spoilers here on this nonspoiler thraed, just making a nonspecific statement. ***SPECULATION*** that whatever Cwikly/Ford writes that airs starting in September or October might be something that plays out for the 60th anniversary airing in November 2025. Again that's just a GUESS, not a spoiler. To CLARIFY: My sense of what was relayed at the actor(s) events: The actor(s) were MAYBE describing when they themself as an actor would be airing in new storylines. So perhaps their character's storylines airing April-September as written by Cwikly/Ford -- are continuing their character's storylines that had been started by Ron. But, on further thought, I doubt that the actor(s) intended to convey that *all* the characters would be playing out continuing storylines until the autumn. But if the actor(s) said it vaguely, I can see how that impression could have been heard. @te. said "I think you're misinterpreting what they mean with outlines. <snip> So yes, they're probably using ideas and "outlines" that were put into motion before Ron left. That he's not being credited doesn't mean they're not staying true to the projected resolutions, though they're likely setting things up for their own storylines (hence certain characters just leaving that I'm sure wouldn't have left if Ron was still there)." Jeanne Marie Ford (formerly Jeanne Marie Grunwell) has been continuously been with the DAYS writing staff since 1994. Also most of the credited writing team in the currently-airing episodes is the same team that was present when Ron was there. We know some of them have since left, but they were at DAYS way back when what's airing now was written. It's basically the same team except for Cwikly instead of Ron. So yeah some of the ideas were already discussed amongst the writers, and there would be some continuity, but Ford/Cwikly can change/redirect it as they see fit. So it's officially their stuff and not Ron's. The Cwikly/Ford interviews in April mentioned only that we'd see Marlena's grief, which is expected and not a spoiler. This new stuff airing this week, with Queen of the Night and Stefano, is clearly NEW stuff written for Marlena, in that Ron's episodes didn't have any of that. I don't think it was anything Ron envisioned, but of course we would never know officially. I mean, it's obviously the sort of thing that Ron would do, but we don't know. At any rate, it's officially new stuff from Ford/Cwikly. Edit to insert: Yes the word "outlines" has caused some of the confusion in discussion over the past few months, due to the word "outlines" meaning different things in different contexts. -------------------- So yeah, to sum up: that's my new *theory* --- the "nothing-new-until-autumn" idea is only applicable to the storylines of one or a few actors and not the entire canvas. I have ZERO knowledge of behind-the-scenes. This is only a speculation/theory and I could be wrong.

I agree that June isn't stupid. And unhoused people are not all mentally ill. Naomi needs to ask someone (maybe Nicole) how to approach June to get June back to reality. Nicole already met June at the hospital. Edit to add: I disagree that everything around June had previously shown coherency and awareness. June's comment when hospitalized about her prior marriage which Nicole recognized as a character on another soap that Tunie was in -- that seemed out of touch with reality. Unless June's been faking incoherency all this time, which I don't think she has. I suppose one could have argued that June said that fake story about a prior marriage deliberately to maintain her anonymity, as an unhoused person who is distrustful of disclosing her truth to anyone.

I was watching the live broadcast, and I didn't notice that the "currency" was fake play money because I was looking at everyone's faces. At first I wondered who was paying off June -- who is June really? and why isn't Naomi reacting to June's new apparent wealth? Then I wondered if Naomi had found some special social services funding for June, hence Naomi not being surprised? But even then, wouldn't Naomi protest June spending her funding on this? I went to twitter to scan reactions to this scene and saw everyone saying that it was Monopoly money! And then I commented here and quickly returned to watching the live broadcast. I rewatched the scene later on Paramount Plus knowing what to watch for. This is why I like the interactions online of group viewership, because I miss things on the first watching of the episodes. I learn from other viewers what I missed, and then I rewatch. Plus it's just fun to watch together online.

Elsewhere online, I saw snarky/angry predictions that maybe Cricket will facetime the news of Chance's death to Nina, and Billy will facetime the news of Chance's death to Jill, and maybe we won't see either facetime, it will be offscreen and simply mentioned that it happened. And something similar with Nate and Amy regarding Damian's death. All of this was commented as snark and not intended to be a spoiler. But the replies were yeah that's likely.

I didn't mention it but there was a long sequence in which Carter told Cane that he'd killed Damian to help Cane get Lily, and it was long and detailed about how he plotted it and executed his plan. When Carter realized that Cane was angry instead of happy about what Carter had done, then Carter was outraged and wanted Lily to suffer. This went on for most of the episode but MEANWHILE . . . I was too angry to mention that amidst everything happening in the Friday CDN/Monday US episode with Carter and Chance dying and the traintracks and phones working again ... there were *still* discussions amongst characters about who would take over which corporation! Amanda had a contract written up for Nikki to sign over control of Chancellor from Nikki to Chance, which Nikki was about to sign if Amanda would guarantee they release Nick from captivity. The only reason Nikki didn't sign was that she learned that Nick had escaped. Billy did try to talk Carter out of holding Lily/Cane at gunpoint. But then at the end, after Billy saw Chance die, Billy was still angling for control of Chancellor and wanting to negotiate a deal with Chance. After seeing the bodies, Phyllis, too, was still angling for control of anything. The characters of Billy and Phyllis have long been ruined. This made it even worse. The character of Amanda was ruined here. Mishael Morgan can act wonderfully with any script but. . . Amanda helping Cane with all of this nonsense was horrid, including knowing about the phone signal jammer, and knowing where Nick was being held captive, etc. Even though Amanda is Cane's paid attorney and is paid to stand by him, this was mobster-type lawyering. At the end, Cane was still trying to court Lily -- and she was having NONE of this, as he was responsible for the deaths because he engineered the entire situation. He wistfully told Amanda that he hadn't given up on Lily. The *SIDE PLOT* was that Sharon was caring for the injured Nick in the traincar, (Nick was injured in a prior episode while escaping from captivity) -- Sharon was caring for the injured Nick in the traincar while Sally went to check on the traintrack status. Nick and Sharon kissed briefly. I guess JG threw in one second of a Shick kiss -- with thoughts that people would want to watch the other 35 minutes of the horrors of this episode. NOPE NOPE NOPE. I'm not a Shick fan. But do understand and respect that there are many Shick fans out there, so if you are a Shick fan, just find a gif of the kiss and skip the rest of the episode. Nick was delirious from pain, so Josh Griffith might write the characters to be dismissive of the kiss later on. At the end, the sound of a helicopter arriving could be heard, as the Newmans prepared to bring Nick to a hospital.

What? You've posted something like that in the past. I don't know why you say that. The modern world is misogynist.

Monday July 28 US (Friday July 25 Canada) Sally puts on hiking wardrobe and hikes down the mountain just far enough to check on the conditions of the roads/tracks/etc. She returns to say the train tracks have been repaired for two days and the workmen were busy removing their repair equipment. Meanwhile: Carter grabs Lily and holds her at gunpoint. Cane convinces Carter to aim the gun at Cane instead of at Lily. Carter is about to shoot Cane, and Chance tries to save Cane. Carter shoots Chance during the struggle. Carter runs off. Chance dies. Carter shoots himself offscreen and dies. Meanwhile, Amanda disables the signal jammer and all the phones start working. She calls the police. Victor phones Adam to ask him to send a helicopter. (A lot more happened (a lot!) with various characters, but I'm not up to posting it all) Source: Canadian recappers.

I've seen suggestions on twitter: Have Eva and Kat team up to take down Tomas. I don't think it would happen (at least not yet), but I'd be here for that when/if it does.

Tomas is trash. Kat's face in the closing shot, she doesn't look happy at all.
