I was just pondering that this would be the perfect time for Mia to return (perhaps as a recast).  I know the character was not that popular, but think about her connection to recent events.

Maggie needs her support now that Victor is dead.  Nicole is pregnant, which was a vital part of Mia's origin story. Chad is single, so she could be a hindrance in his relationship with Stephanie.  Plus, nobody has been to the Horton House where she lived for months, so she could visit there.  Extra credit if Mia became an OB-Gyn in her time away, since half of Salem is expecting and Kayla feels a little overwhelmed.

I'm just saying, given that Victor's death has motivated the return of many characters from her generation, it is remarkable how many ties to the canvas Mia has maintained.

I think you've got Mia and Melanie all mixed together in your post.

I don't think so

Mia was part of the baby switch with Nicole, she lived in the Horton House during the time that Maggie considered making it into a shelter for pregnant women, and Chad was her boyfriend...

I confuse Melanie and Chelsea, but I re-read Mia's bio prior to posting

Ah, thank you, I stand corrected!

@AbcNbc247 Has Kate told Roman that she knows Phillip is alive?  Because I feel like I missed any reaction of him to knowing that Brady was framed for a crime?  That seems like something that Roman would not easily forgive. Or maybe he gave some mush mouth reply that I misunderstood?

Didn't Lucas say something about it when they told him that Kate was dead?  I recall Lucas went on a rant about the current circumstances of all of Kate's children. @carolineg

@j swift  Today it seemed to me as if Roman had known Philip is alive & is just nonchalant about it. What's that about? 

In other news I watched the wrong episode on YT & I loved it.  I won't say anymore.

Yeah, she told him.

I think he was a little upset about it at first, but then came around and kept the secret for her. 

Decent episode today.

I liked seeing Philip’s confession and Brady’s reaction to it, though I wonder how Philip was able to do all that crap to Brady without anybody seeing him. But yeah, that punch was terrible 😂😂

Choreographed so badly, which is surprising because Days is usually good with punches. 

I hope Philip’s returned is used well. This could have so many effects on so many characters and couples, especially Shawn and Belle. 

I hope Shawn and Belle continue to have a storyline. His scenes with Marlena were good today, but there’s still so much they could do with them. Hopefully, they’ll get something to do until 

Spoiler

Belle leaves

Roman, Lucas, Paulina, and Victor know/knew Phillip was alive.  Roman was upset about it briefly, but I think it was resolved within an episode.  In my opinion if Roman can get over everything Kate did to Sami, Brady is small potatoes.   He should have an issue with it, but at the same time it's not like Brady actually went to jail for it or suffered any real consequences for it.  This is something Marlena and especially John should have strong reactions to, but they probably won't.

Why did Paulina know?

Josh's Roman is so laid back!! Well, except on the unusual occasions when he is unreasonably cranky, like about Sloan not liking chowder! GMAB. Not everyone likes chowder. But Roman seems to be either too nonchalant or too angry, nothing in between.

Kate told her a few weeks ago.  When Abe was missing/presumed dead.  Paulina brought up Phillip and Kate just told her the truth.

Thank you. I remember that conversation. I thought at the time that it was strange. 

Just got to Victor’s death. Really enjoying how the news is slowly spreading through town. Loving the flashbacks and also the acknowledgment of Victor’s complicated relationships with most of the town instead of instantly making him a saint in death.

I think it was Roman who said, "All of Victor's relationships are complicated." But anyone could've been given the line. 

Sarah is awful. Why is she keeping Xander’s baby a secret from him? I forgot what she was mad at him for right now.

I believe a lot of reasons but the most recent was that he lied & made up a fabulous job when what he was really doing was kidnapping.
