Abigail/Kristen/Steve/Kayla/Sarah:
After Abigail gets too close to the truth, Gwen and Ava ship her off to a deserted island, where Kristen has Steve and Kayla. Abigail will soon realize that she's not alone on the island. So the stories are starting to converge and while they're trying to get away, they ultimately come face to face with Sarah. I will say that her return has an unusual twist."

Chad/Tony:
This is kind of an all roads
lead to the island, and it will be nice to see the DiMera brothers teaming up; we don't get to see that too often. So Chad and Tony team up to try to find Abigail when she goes missing. And everybody is kind of ending up headed for the island.

Xander/Gwen:
Xander finally puts his feelings for Sarah behind him and he proposes to Gwen. So just when it looks like Sarah is possibly on the brink of being rescued, Xander is making a commitment to Gwen and marriage."

Ciara/Ben:
They are really starting to plan a future, and look for a bigger place where they're going to start their family. And then something happens and they start to suspect that the devil may not be as gone as they thought. So they are again worried about the safety of their unborn baby and they start to investigate the possibility that the devil is back."

EJ/Clyde:
EJ is wrongly convicted of kidnapping Sami, and when he arrives in his cell, his cellmate kind of rolls over on his bunk, and we see that it's Clyde Weston. The significance of that, as a lot of fans are aware, is that Clyde was responsible for EJ's 'death' several years ago, so when EJ comes face to face with Clyde, we finally get to play it out. It will lead to a potential escalation of bad feelings between these two."

Johnny/Gabi/Jake:
The devil is like a chaos agent and likes to disrupt the happy couples. So we've seen Johnny pursuing Gabi, and she and Jake don't know that they're tangling with the devil. In February. "JoDevil' as we call him, is deter mined to get Gabi into bed."

Allie/Tripp/Chanel:
Tripp proposes to Allie, and he and Allie are in this happy place planning their future. Again, the devil does not like to see happy couples, so Johnny stirs up major drama for them.

Chloe/Brady/Nancy/Craig:
Craig and Nancy's marriage is crumbling and Craig is falling for someone else. We will use that story to bring Chloe and Brady closer. Chloe is not really ready to move into something romantic, but we do see her leaning more and more on Brady. When Craig wants Chloe to meet his new paramour, she asks Brady to come, so you know it becomes a sort of de facto double date."

Nicole/Rafe/Ava:
Rafe is being accused of all this impropriety in the police station and Trask is going after him full force. Nicole rightfully suspects that Ava is behind it and framing him. So she's sort of taking the bull by the horns to prove that Ava is behind all this. Expect a confrontation between those two women."

Paulina/Lani/Eli/TR:
We introduced Lani's biological father, Ray, as TR. He has reinvented himself as a movie producer and he's the person producing Johnny's film. TR insists that he is a new man who has changed and he wants to prove it to Lani. So we see Lani, while very cautious, tempted to get to know that guy, and Paulina, who is more wary. And Eli is on the case as Lani's protective husband, and basically puts TR on notice

Most of this is wash rinse repeat from Ron.

The devil is not needed to cause trouble in relationships. He's become more of a nuisance than anything scary.

So Craig is going on a double date with his daughter?😂

The only stories that interest me are Craig/Nancy and Ray/Lani/Paulina.

The island story will see..

Again Ciara and Ben have no story.

Exactly.  How many more times must I say it?  The devil's number-one mission is to win souls away from God.  Not run business conglomerates or act as spoiler for vapid couples.

We should've known Ron would be sending a bunch of people to an island because of that Melaswen reference months ago.

What IS it with this show and trapping people on islands anyway?

I tell you Ron Carlivati reads this board.

Btw when is Days preempted for the Olympics. When is its last episode? And when does it return?

God willing?  Never.

Wash rinse and repeat story from a previous Days HW. Carlivati has no talent.

Monday Jan. 31 through Thurs. Feb. 3:
regular broadcast of Days episodes.
Yes, Thurs. Feb. 3rd is last airdate before the break.

Friday Feb. 4 through Friday Feb. 18:
preempted for the Winter Olympics.

Monday February 21:
Regular broadcasts resume.

The Feb. preview article didn't state how much of all that airs before the Olympics and how much airs after.

Interesting. 

It always sounds so good, but the problem is always the execution of it.

Just imagine the worst episode of "Three's Company" that ever aired and you've got an idea.

I would never ever go on a double date with my parent and the person they’ve been cheating on my other parent with.

Oh yeah, I'm getting a Melaswen feeling, with 1/30th of the budget. Which means those giant tree walls from our good ol' town park bench set will be making a comeback. 

I wasn't thinking Melaswen, but rather the island that the cast got lost on when the plane for Anna's fashion show crashed when Roman died, or Cruise of Deception where Hope got "killed" by Ernesto Toscano, Isabella's (stepfather?, he thought he was her father, but actually Victor was her bio-dad and found out on the cruise) aka (Brady's step-grandfather)
