Or at least if it was made explicit that most people GUESSED it was a marriage of convenience. Most characters even just a little bit familiar with the dynamic between those two and the context of the "business" being left in disarray after Sonny's death should be able to figure it out.
Let's have a few characters gossip and speculate that this is what it is. Give us some hint the characters are smart.

It does seem very stupid for no one to figure it out lol.  Nothing about Jarly screams passion.  And both Jason and Carly have entered into marriages of convenience before.  But maybe people are just like they finally realized they are obsessed with each other and are getting married?  It's pretty silly.

I hate this Jason & Carly engagement crap.   Jason & Britt had great momentum.   Jason & Carly are more like brother and sister kinda of than a romantic couple.   Having Elizabeth, Sam etc. be ok with this is PURE B.S. and NOT within either character.   And it was also very stupid for Britt & Jax to hit the sack.  Agreed that NOONE wanted THAT.

Setting aside the fact it was specifically Jax and that is a big no for me, I don't understand that soap trope of people immediately rushing to bed with someone else after having their hearts broken. And I mean immediately.
It is not that it doesn't happen in real-life: casual sex sometimes helps heal wounds. But in the context of trying to sell us "Britt/Jason" as a great love, it really doesn't help. It is not sex-shaming: Britt can gangbang the entire hospital staff for all I care. But there is something about jumping into bed with someone else less than 24 hours later, even out of spite, that undermines the "magical romance" aspect of it. It becomes less star-crossed lovers and more two petty people trying to hurt each other with bad choices. And it is obviously less rootable-for.

I agree with you guys that say that if RH should have been Austin from the get go. I actually don't mind him in this role, and actually liked his scenes with Maxie today. Though, they do continue to try and shoehorn him in this show and various roles, and I can see why people are tired of that.

I enjoy Lenny/Phyllis. I hope he will heal and they end up staying around, if only in a recurring role. This may have been mentioned before but Joyce Guy who plays Phyllis reminds me of Madge Sinclair. Especially her speaking voice. 

I also do like Nina and "Mike". I like Cynthia Watros take on this character. I do wonder what will happen when Sonny get his memory  back. 

Spencer made me laugh with the way he was insinuating that Ava was into Austin, when he was talking to Nikolas. The way he's trying to scheme is funny. I'm looking forward to watching his scenes with Trina tomorrow/the teens. It was interesting how they had him reveal himself to Cam/Joss today. I wonder how things will play out tomorrow, when he sees Trina. He did wink at Joss and some people on places like Twitter are concerned about that. And are afraid they might try and do something romantic with him and Joss. He's got great chemistry with Trina, but I can understand why people might not trust this show. Especially if he ends up having chemistry with Joss.

And they’re putting him in scenes with Ava to capitalize on RH’s old rapport with MW. It’s just kinda lame because even though the part is different, they are slotting him into familiar places. And they aren’t acknowledging him as a Franco lookalike in spite of some odd exchanges of glances with Liz. I can imagine someone who hasn’t watched GH in a while being really confused.

And having him already in scenes with Jason too. And it is funny how they aren't even trying to acknowledge that he looks familiar to Franco. Not one eyebrow has been raised at his appearance, lol. I do wonder what their plans for him might end up being. I actually think they might be better off trying to make him more of a good guy this time around.

They didn’t waste any time sexualizing Joss, Cam and Trina lol 

And I love spotting all the NY bloopers on this show. NY Methodist isn’t in Manhattan, it’s in Brooklyn.

I like Nina and Mike too. Although I hope they don't write Sonny to hate her like he did after having sex with Ava. That drives me crazy! I know eventually he'll be back with Carly, but I pray he still retains that "Mike" feeling towards her. Sonny being an ass to other women is such a turn-off. And if Sonny retained some feeling for Nina it would bother the hell out of Carly.

Spencer's scheming is sooo sloppy. Which is kind of appropriate since he's young and it probably wouldn't be realistic for his plans to be 100% foolproof. Why did he give Trina a fake name if he's just going to go out in very public places like the Metro Court where everyone knows him? Silly, lol. I'm really enjoying him though. I loved him trying to rub Ava/Austin in Nik's face. I have zero interest in Cam and Joss. Snooze-ville. Keep Spencer away from Joss. I was wondering when we'd finally hear the word "townie." Ugh.

We're really spending time on Lenny's condition. I actually like him but come on. I'd love to see Lenny live and Sonny still have a bond with him and Phyllis once he has his memories back. He's gonna need someone to talk to when he comes home and sees what Carly's up to. Have Sonny bring the Tan-O to PC and set them up in a nice house so they can recur.

More Nina/Willow scenes. Riveting television.

So we have Austin interacting with Ava, Scotty, Sam, Jason... gosh, this is just so different from Franco!

We have a hot Spencer now so they have to step it up with the rest of these kids too

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

      Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
