Wait, how is Kristen Stefano's surrogate child but he's not her bio father?

And is E.J. the same Elvis ED played in the '90s, but with plastic surgery?

Nicole has such an... enchanting? hypnotizing?... gaze. I don't mean this in an offensive way, but she reminds me of some dog breeds with those glacier eyes that seem to look straight into your soul.

Victor is a hilarious old coot.

I really need to buckle down and look at a family tree. Lots of half-siblings ("There are no HALF siblings!"), cousins by marriage, et cetera, that I'm still working out.

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question correctly, but E.J. is Elvis DiMera, the son of Susan Banks (who ED played in the 90s) and Stefano DiMera. Stefano dressed up as Elvis during the insemination. Kristen tried to pass him off as her child with John Black.

I thought ED also played a male character in addition to Kristen and Susan and I thought his name was Elvis. Mind you, I did not watch DOOL, this is just based on what I picked up flipping through the channels and my mom's SODs while I sat on the tallit.

Abby called Hope, Aunt Hope yesterday, but she's not her aunt, she's her cousin. I actually had to think there for a second and wonder if maybe she was her aunt via some type of marriage, but nope just cousins. I get it though. I have a cousin of my father who is older that I think of more as an uncle bc of the age gap. I don't call him uncle though

I believe Stefano took Kristen and Peter in after their mother was presumed dead when they were young. He raised them and treated them both as if they were his children. They pretty much are without that biological tie.

Kristen and Peter's biological mother was Rachel Blake who was the "woman in white" in the mid-90s. She died during the Paris underground tunnel explosion/collapse in 1996-ish... My memories on this are fuzzy as this is when I first started watching the show and I was a young kid.. but I do remember seeing Kristen and her mom interact. Again, others with a better memory of this time are free to correct me/add info.

Thanks! Wasn't sure if she'd been bouncing back and forth from Y&R as early as the '80s. I definitely knew her as a DOOL actor first because I recall being surprised by a SOD pic of her as a brunette-ish Ashley with bad hair.

    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them. 
    • Except she never worked there at all and barely even knew where the Chancellor Industries plant was located  In 1980, Kay attempted to install Derek Thurston (her third husband) in a position at Chancellor Industries.  The show introduced a character named George Packard who'd supposedly been running Chancellor since Phillip's demise in 1975.  (George Packard's storyline in 1980 was attempting to keep Derek Thurston from bankrupting the company.)   We didn't hear much of anything about Chancellor Industries for the next twenty-five years.  Then, at that point, we met Eliot Hampton (?) who'd been running the company for decades and had been embezzling from it.  Jill took it upon her herself to oust Eliot Hampton (?) and take control of the company.  That's when Kay became actively involved in the management of the company.  From 1974 till 2004 Kay Chancellor was strictly a hands-off owner.  It was downright absurd that the last ten years of life, she was written as this formidable businesswoman who'd always been involved in Chancellor Industries.  
    • Well, it's going to be something when he finds out the truth.  Agreed.  On that note, I can't until it all comes out. I find Lulu to be ridiculous. 
    • I almost posted this because that was my initial reaction too:  this is weird/cringe, to sing around a piano after such a huge family shattering bomb was dropped.  But I got over that and just enjoyed her voice, the song and the montage we saw as everyone's emotions in the aftermath were pouring out.
    • The Equalizer original series was not a big hit yet it became a movie franchise and got a reboot series. The Equalizer reboot lasted 5 seasons, so one season longer than the original series.
    • Today is Sean Freeman's birthday

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content (e.g. their April Fools' Joke videos were clearly not filmed on 4/1/25), so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
