January 24, 20223 yr Member Yeah Rafe just dragging this on with Ava is crazy if he’s this into Nicole. So happy Abby has the Salem brain but I’m not looking forward to her obviously getting kidnapped. I’m so tired of that happening on this show.

I almost think Gabi/Johnny might be interesting if they had any chemistry. She does have a kid with his gay brother, but I could almost see where the show maybe could go with Johnny/Gabi as non-devil schemers. Unfortunately, I feel like we are going to lose a lot of funny, sexy, scheming things Johnny could do once he's not Possessed because he'll be "good" again. Again, with Rafe/Ava if I thought they were truly in love and had chemistry I might buy Rafe wanting to believe the best in her or something. But he doesn't even seem to like her. I actually really like AZ/Nicole in jeans. It's a good look for her.

I don't see the necessity for Johnny to be possessed to be honest to be a bastard.
January 24, 20223 yr Member Nicole: It’s just seems forced. Yes Nicole, we’ve been saying that about the triangle you’re stuck in, from the very beginning lol Rafe and Ava need to be written out
January 24, 20223 yr Member I was thinking the same thing about Johnny. He could've been into Gabi and interested in the family company without being possessed. And not complaining, but I think it's funny that the devil has totally forgotten about Cin's baby.
January 25, 20223 yr Member Most of time I forget that Johnny is possessed. Does anyone know when the possession story is ending? It really is nonexistent.

I am not complaining either, but I wish there was a reason the Devil completely changed it's course of action. Even if JoDevil just said he was laying low on the Cin baby for awhile to throw suspicion off the devil. Edited January 25, 20223 yr by carolineg

I remember EJ at the police station flirting with a male officer to get him to uncuff him from the chair. There were some other scenes but they never went very far with it. With Dan in the role and his chemistry with the cast I'd be down for bi/fluid EJ. He always seemed like he was ready to force himself on Will.
January 25, 20223 yr Member I am amused at the hypocrisy, lol! Satan breaks things off with Chanel and then Chanel is absolutely devastated and then to show her devastation, Chanel sleeps with Ali. Satan makes a pass at Gabi in which Ali sees which makes Ali inform Chanel of what she saw. Then, both Chanel and Ali are like: "Johnny is such a jerk!" I guess lesbian affairs do not equivocate to the laws of heteronormativity I suppose.
January 25, 20223 yr Member I don't think it's exactly hypocritical or devaluing lesbian affairs. Johnny publicly and cruelly dumped Chanel. Chanel wasn't looking to end the relationship with Johnny at all. He told her it was done with basically no hope. I don't really even consider Chanel cheating because her marriage is over in all but name. Allie is taking cheating on Tripp seriously. I don't think Johnny kissing Gabi is worse than Allie/Chanel, but Johnny's behavior to Chanel and overall is awful. Of course, this will all be messy when the devil leaves Johnny, but I don't think the show is saying straight cheating is worse than "gay" cheating. Spoiler I guess we will see how it's treated with the Craig stuff Edited January 25, 20223 yr by carolineg
January 25, 20223 yr Member Yeah, I don't see this as Chanel cheating at all. Allie, yes obviously. But Chanel and Johnny are done.
January 25, 20223 yr Member What's gonna happen, though, when the devil is finally banished, and Johnny's soul is restored to him? Will he even remember dumping Chanel? Will Chanel feel compelled to reconcile with Johnny -- and deny her growing feelings for Allie in the process? And how will Johnny take it when he learns that not only have Chanel and Allie slept together, but that they're STILL sleeping together, behind his back (because, if they aren't, then there's no damn story)? Will Johnny return to the "dark side" -- this time without the devil's help? It just might be the only GOOD thing to come out of this horrible mishmash of "Salem's Lot" and "The Exorcist."
January 25, 20223 yr Member I can’t believe the devil went into Johnny just to run DiMera enterprises and have sex.

I keep thinking about what Ron Carlivati said at the start: that he didn't know how to approach revisiting this story until he realized that the devil was just another villain. Talk about being led in the wrong direction, lol. Johnny is supposed to be a filmmaker, right? If he is supposed to be a filmmaker, and he has been possessed by the devil, then why isn't the devil exploiting Johnny's filmmaking abilities to spread his message(s) and win souls everywhere? Why does the devil even BOTHER with DiMera Enterprises? As I've said COUNTLESS times, I really don't approve of telling stories about demonic possession, especially on a daytime soap opera that, for the most part, has never been a supernaturally-based show. (Heck, I don't think this would have belonged even on DARK SHADOWS, lol.). But, if you're gonna tell this kind of story, then tell it right! We live in very polarizing times. We have become more tribalistic than ever before. If the devil didn't sow the seeds of our current state, then he is certainly working overtime, figuring out ways to exploit it. THAT should be the message of Ron Carlivati's story: that the devil is busier than ever; and that, to quote Reba McEntire, we gotta give this world back to God. Instead, it's like we're watching the worst teen sex comedy imaginable, with a possessed Johnny panting after Gabi like some damn cartoon dog, which is a form of Hell even the devil himself wouldn't want unleashed.
