I don't know if the city has name in the BTG-universe. Sheila Ducksworth said last week that it's based on a several real-life very wealthy Black communities in Maryland.

I figured she'd killed (or tried to kill) the old man from her flashbacks. It seems to explain why she doesn't want Tessa to know -- she doesn't want Tessa to be an accomplice after the fact.

Friday July 4 US (Thurs July 3 CDN). Adam arrives in France, walks three miles up a trail, and finds the Newmans on a train car. Adam is startled to learn that they've never been inside the château and that they are living on the train car and spending time in a maze. LOL

Martin didn't hallucinate Kenneth! Kenneth escaped from Randy killing him and instead was playing chess with Tyrell. I screamed. I was sure Martin had hallucinated but it was real. omg There's the drama!

I think Chicago is only 30 minutes from Salem. At least that's what was mentioned about 10 years ago.

I don't like Guza sleaze/darkness. And can't stand Joey. I do hope the Martin secret storyline circles back to Nicole's reaction to it all.

Wow.

Monday July 7 Did Randy really follow Joey's order to kill Kenneth? I don't think Randy wanted to kill him, so maybe Randy found a way to convince him to leave town? Wouldn't Joey check to see if the gun had been fired? It seems like Joey counted the money at the end so maybe Randy gave some of the money to Kenneth and Joey will call him out on that tomorrow? Is Kenneth really sitting at Martin's dining room table playing chess with Tyrell, or is Martin hallucinating? Smitty was the best part of the episode! Mike Manning is doing a great job as a reporter. Is Allison going to stalk Chelsea? I appreciate Naomi caring about June.

Tues July 8 USA -- Monday July 7 CDN "Mariah and Tessa ponder their future" Mariah still feels unable to confide in Tessa. (Mariah doesn't want to endanger Tessa or Aria but doesn't say that). Mariah flashes back to suffocating the old man with a pillow (from the Canadian recappers) screencaps thanks to recappers (Link) and (Link)

https://bsky.app/profile/tvdeeva.bsky.social/post/3ltfhsp37qk2c Here is an interview that Emily O'Brien did back in March. It was mostly about her very brief return as Theresa for five episodes in March. And about O'Brien's career doing motion capture. https://www.womansworld.com/entertainment/celebrities/emily-obrien-teases-theresas-and-gwens-days-of-our-lives-returns But there is some here about her July return as Gwen: Quoting excerpts “The story is still so open-ended with her father, Leo and Dimitri, Xander, even, and all the people she’s affected,” “The love triangle with Peter Porte was just glorious,” she adds, referring to the storyline that saw Gwen’s gay bestie have an affair with her husband, Dimitri. “That little banter we had was so amazing. We felt like we were doing a sitcom. It was brilliant. I hope more of that is to come.” will return to Salem this summer as a bit of a new woman. <snip> “She went off to Alamania and got her hands on Dimitri’s money, and money can change a person,” “She’s just been swanning around the world, traveling and spending, and when she comes back, she’s a little more refined. She also has this newfound power, because she has money that she can use as leverage to get whatever she wants, so there’s lots of room for story there.”

https://x.com/TVInsider/status/1942324471580266856 The title of the article is "Emily O’Brien Teases Her ‘Days of Our Lives’ Return as a More ‘Refined’ Gwen Rizczech" TV insider seems to have made an error. Gwen apparently doesn't use the Rizczech surname anymore. In the closing credits today July 7, Emily is listed as "Gwen Von Leuschner", and the core of the interview is about her returning to Salem wealthy. https://www.tvinsider.com/1201024/emily-obrien-days-of-our-lives-return-gwen-rizczech-interview/ quoting excerpt: Now, she’s ready to step back into Gwen’s shoes, a character whose fortunes have shifted dramatically since her last appearance, thanks to a windfall from her ill-fated marriage to Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte). “Gwen has always been scrappy and always trying to find someone to love her, someone to use,” she points out. “But now, she doesn’t need that. Now, she has everything except for love, so she’s sort of back to where she was, but with a full wallet.” Expect to see a very different Gwen, who has changed in surprising ways. “The new writers have refined her,” O’Brien previews. “She went away and spent time with the elite, and now she has knowledge and status, so that’s been a different twist to come back and play her. She’s spending time with new characters, and it’s been fun to discover where everything is going with her now.” end quote

Gwen returned at end of Monday July 7 episode, arriving at the Horton house wearing Alice's necklace.

Long answer: Damian has expressed interest in Lily. Lily is very annoyed that Cane is Dumas. She has flirted with Damian some. Recently she kissed Damian in front of Cane. There may be more coming. But it's unclear if there will be an actual pairing or not. Short answer: I don't know.
