Thank goodness Lucas is getting out of jail.

And, is that Holly on a ventilator?

Are those incompetent hacks burning down the Horton house? Is that really what’s happening 😡🤬

This is what we got? It looks boring AF! And honestly... it could still air on NBC, which is not what we want for a streaming soap. Here is hoping the interim writing is heaps better than the crap Carlivati continues to shove down our throats... and enough with bringing former cast members back in new roles. It's cheap and tacky. Cannot wait for Decker's material as co-EP to begin airing!!!!! And burning down the Horton home? I'd have more of an impact if, you know, HORTONS still existed within Salem. This is yawn-worthy.

Notice how the fans have little to no reaction to the promo.

This promo has scenes from the next few months. Some of it happens in a few days (Theresa/Konstantin), but a lot of it happens later.

Some of it was stuff written after the writers strike began so Ron didn't write everything in this promo.   
Some of it was written when the fired producer was "supervising" the scab writers (i.e. unofficially headwriting).  Firedguy seems to have been responsible for the housefire scenes.

Well, if burning down Horton House is one more thing that accrues to the Monster Alarr, at least that will go some ways to ameliorate my feelings. Blaming him for: Lindsay Arnold, Camila, Marth Madison. Harris & Ava romance, the last Bope story & now burning down a house. 

Yeah not feeling EOB as Teresa

You mean the wig and red lipstick isn't enough?😂

Just garbage!

Also, I think interweaving the custody and inheritance story is clever.

Given that the trailer shows Xander is about to be revealed as the heir.  It is smart to set up some animosity between Maggie and Xander.  He was always one of her favorites, so it will be interesting to see if Maggie remains on the outside at Titan if she and Xander continue to clash over the custody situation with Sarah.

The fire is a canard, as I'm sure that they won't destroy the Horton house, they probably just want to modernize and shrink the set (although goodness knows how it could get any smaller).  I'm certain not to like the baby switch, and this is the most common, (and a little cruel), plot line in soaps.  But, thankfully, there are other bright spots to which I look forward.

It's always crazy to me when soaps have a character involved in multiple dead baby stories. Frankly Nicole is too old for this nonsense.

Anyway, that promo felt like a parody of a soap commercial. So much random soapy things.

I honestly believe that's what Carlivati wants his writing to be. He doesn't care.

I'll be so mad if that happens. Sadly, too, there's hardly any Hortons left in town. In the last few years so many of them have been written out or put on recurring (Jennifer, Hope, Lucas, Will, Eli, Abby, JJ, Claire, Ciara). Who's even left at this point? Sarah? Maggie (Horton by marriage)? Julie (on recurring)?

To me, the Hortons have always been the heart of the show. Even during JER's crazy supernatural years, he actually beefed up the Horton family on the canvas.

I feel the current regime has focused SO MUCH on the Dimeras and stories that are beyond over the top and ludicrous that most other characters/ families have fallen by the wayside. It's one of the reasons I finally tuned out for the most part.

For Nicole, this would be a "change of life" baby as they used to say about a mother who has probably already started menopause at this point!

Allie & Ariana left, too. The dearth of Hortons has been awkward at best & tragic at worst & its been going on for too long & getting worse & worse. So, now apparently they're going to whittle away at Horton space. We're supposed to be grateful for Horton Square but  it simply is not the same thing. In November 1965 everything I remember was at or in Alice's house.
