On Monday, June 19, “Days of our Lives” will once again celebrate Juneteenth, the newest federally observed holiday that celebrates the end of slavery, when on June 19, 1865, Major General Gordon Granger announced General Order No. 3, which stated that in accordance with the Emancipation Proclamation, “all slaves are free.”

In addition to the holiday celebration, the episode will also mark the one-year wedding anniversary of Abe (James Reynolds) and Paulina Carver (Jackée Harry). Returning for the episode are Lamon Archey (Eli Grant), Cameron Johnson (Theo Carver) and Marla Gibbs (Olivia Price) – Archey and Johnson will have extended stays in Salem as Eli and Theo work on locating Abe, who was recently kidnapped by Nurse Whitley (Kim Coles). Eli will also reunite with his other family, including grandmother Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes).

In an interview featured in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, on newsstands now, Reynolds reveals that Abe is aware he got married on Juneteenth, based on a conversation he had with Chanel (Raven Bowens) while he was in the hospital, but his memory overall is completely blank, even though Nurse Whitley does reveal to him that he has a son and daughter. 

“It might sound fantastic to him, but, on the other hand, he’s got to fill in the holes and these might be the answers,” says Reynolds. “He just doesn’t know. So he not only has to take what’s presented to him, but also assume it’s fact. He’s not thinking he’s being lied to or something’s off about this, because he has nothing to compare it to.” After having flashes of his wedding day, Abe later accuses Whitley of not being his wife. “Abe starts having little flashbacks and feelings, but he’s not sure if they’re true memories or not,” shares Reynolds. “What he does know is that his wife looks different in these flashbacks, that it’s not her. Also, some of the things she’s saying to him slide in the face of what is current reality. If he’s the mayor, then why are they living in this rathole?”

Obviously, Whitley has excuses for everything, even when Abe demands to see photos from their wedding day. Whitley claims the album got lost, and when Abe doesn’t buy it, Whitley finds a photo of Abe and Paulina’s wedding day online and photoshops her face over Paulina’s, finally giving Abe enough evidence to believe her lies which leaves him wanting to make things up to her by agreeing to renew “their wedding vows.” 

Since Whitley is the only person Abe knows at this time, Reynolds says, “Why not cooperate in this meaningless exercise?” He adds, “And Abe is also hoping [by participating] it might make something come back to him. There’s nothing familiar about this woman and this relationship.”

    • Looks like the Townhouse to me, I've been calling it Paulina's Townhouse (which Marlena and Kayla also use).
    • Angela Bassett was also on somewhere in 1985 wasn't she. The NY soaps did so much for struggling actors. That's one of the reasons I will never stop hoping we get more of them.
    • Oh, yeah as the episode went on, I love that they gave a plausible reason for him to back out. Most soaps who use an idea/story point to define a character would just drop it and make it seem so jarring and out of character. So I love common sense...or the SilkPress craziness...won out. 
    • All these years later, and Shelly Burch is still one of the most striking women I've ever seen.
    • I really enjoyed today's show. Today was the most I have ever liked Martin. It was very sweet how he invited Eva to get to know his family. He has good chemistry with her (along with Kat). I liked how she got to know and started to bond with his family including Samantha who was understandably standoffish with her at first. I thought her styling Samantha with different looks at the end was cute. Martin's family is her family now too and I liked how he made that clear to everyone at pizza night at his home. The twins have a new Auntie.

        I think it will be interesting to watch Martin/Eva bond along with her bonding with the rest of his family. And seeing how others including Nicole and especially Kat react to that. I thought for a moment that Kat might actually show up at pizza night after Martin invited her but she didn't. I also enjoyed Eva trying with Kat. They do have chemistry together and they are cute, lol. I do think they could end up being twins, but even if they aren't I still enjoy them together. Whether it's sparring or Eva trying to bond with her or whatever.
    • Hahaha. It was worth a try. Alas. 
    • There were lots of spoiler pics for week of May 5-9 of Devon/Lily/Holden/Damian/Amy/Nate/Audra. I posted them on the spoiler thread that week because they all looked so pretty. I was hopeful.  Sorry to read in the recaps that it was mostly discussion of Dumas!
    • Random Hump Day Reactions Despite my better judgment about commenting on appearances—what is going on with Philip’s skin? He looks distractingly sunburned. Did the makeup team forget to use foundation? Or powder? Or that they’re broadcasting in high definition? Meanwhile, Kristen looked like the saddest Alice in Wonderland. The dirndl was cute, but everyone in that mansion could desperately use a pop of primary color—and a reason to smile. It’s one thing for Belle to be blinded by love for EJ. It’s another for her to hear him admit to kidnapping Rachel and treat it like a punchline. There's zero urgency from anyone about getting Rachel or Kat back to Salem. Kristen and Cat seem to forget their long-lost mothers are still being held elsewhere against their will. At least when Doc, Kayla, and Kate went missing, people cared. Paulina even talked to that urn! (Still waiting to find out who was in the urn, by the way…) Raise your hand if you believe Rachel innocently brought up Tate’s baby. If your hand is up, do not click on any suspicious email links today. You’re vulnerable. And finally, deep breaths: Jamey—or someone he edits—named the miracle drug Versavix. Fun fact: real drug names are developed by branding teams after the research is done. Versavix sounds like the draft name someone scribbled during a Red Bull crash and forgot to replace. This isn’t even a good fake drug name. It’s like they forgot that the same show once gave us a literal ‘love potion’ that made Sami fall for Austin. Versavix makes me nostalgic for the days of ‘L-dopa’ and Stefano’s mind control chips, at least they didn’t sound like a discontinued allergy medication. (crud, another day, another broken promise to stop complaining about this).
    • Brandon said that a couple of months ago, and MVJ replied in agreement.  I'm intrigued.
    • So many of the problems stem from there being one main family. As a result, Vernon and Anita don't have contemporaries to interact with which leaves them primarily as talk-to's. If and when they bring on her bandmates, it would benefit them to establish at least one as a main character with a family. If they ever brought on Jacob's mom, she could be another person that Anita could regularly interact with.
