Seriously, we have Chelsea who tried to poison Rey, now buddying up to him and walking free??

Josh seems to come up with plots and doesn't have to worry about follow through because he'll pretend it never happened.

Of the top of my head, some plots that would take characters in a new direction.

Imani makes serious moves on Nate, who can't help but be attracted. Build up some tension. Have Elena reconnect with Devon so we can move toward Devon/Nate/Amanda/Elena/Imani. Lots of twists and turns.

Jack returns from NY and tells Phyllis he doesn't want to re-unite. Daniel and Lucy return and Phyllis can be focused on them a while.

Lily tires of Billy's antics and turns to Daniel her ex. Lucy becomes part of a triangle with Faith and Moses.

Nick hooks up with Sally which annoys Adam and Phyllis.

Sharon and Rey team up to investiagate her father and something comes to light that triggers that search.

Chelsea decides she wants to be a part of Johhnys life which causes problems for the Newmans as Billy agrees to it.

After talking to Mariah, Devon realizes he has to pull back from Dom. He wants to experience fatherhood but Amanda is reluctant and confides to Imani she doesn't want children.

Does any of that sound better than what's coming up?

Can someone clear this up for me, I was reading the Wikipedia article for Victoria and it says that she was raped by her stalker Gary in the treehouse but I don’t recall is happening and if it did I’m not sure it’s been referenced since.

Hahaha - Vickie sure had a biiiiig mouth back then. I also remember the show to tackle the serious angst and psychological issues Victoria was suffering from due to Gary's stalking and the tree house finale. However, she in my memory also saved before things got REALLY bad. Was it Cole who rescued her? I can't remember.

I would gladly watch this 5 Days a week if this was carried out on my screen. 

I would also add Johnny and Chelsea become close with the truth of her being his biological mother hanging over them. Meanwhile, Johnny also gets close to Lucy as well as has a rivalry with Connor over her and their place in the family. Somehow the truth of his parentage comes out at Johnny's 16th Birthday party.

Maybe Nicholas?  The whole thing is kind of a blur to me, as there weren't any real "surprises" in it.  The Gary Dawson character was pretty quiet and assuming, and Victoria was at her LOUDEST and most STRIDENT then.  I'd kind of hoped that Gary wouldn't turn out to be the stalker, that he and Victoria would develop a relationship, and he'd teach her to be a little quieter and less bossy.  But nope, he was the stalker.  When the duct tape came out, that was the highlight of the storyline, lol.

I liked the storyline mostly due to acting of Ricky Paull and Heather Tom. I admit that Gary's boss (?) Ross as the red hearing, scapegoat culprit, was pretty transparent and it was a rather luke-warm surprise when it turned out to be Gary. If I recall right, the inital builup with the magazine shrine wall of Vickie's centerfold being shown in a lot of episodes with some spooky music was cool.

I personally am not a fan of the “Victor jr” version of Victoria we got from 1999-2001. I know that’s how most fans like to remember Heather Tom in the role,  but it leaves a bad taste on my mouth how she choose to forget how great of a stepdad Jack was to her during those years (and she even alluded this to Victor as well when she was a teenager) and constantly had her fathers back in trying to destroy Jabot. I get it makes sense for the sake of Newman’s vs Abbott’s but Victoria lacked any compassion she use to feel towards Jack. At least Nick sort of came around during that time, though he initially turned against Jack during the Newman takeover.

It was Paul and Nick who actually saved her.

Back when Eric Braeden's ego and antiquated notions of mandhood hadn't yet cowed the writers into making Victor the all-knowing-deus-ex-machina of every storyline

    • 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.

      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.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
