DAYS: June 2024 Spoilers

Gwen is as unnecessary as they come. But with this shitshow, I have no doubt that, besides Leo, she will somehow worm her way into the story line with Mystery Woman. Even as a good portion of the audience never really accepted Gwen as a Deveraux.

But with Ron at the helm, it's about what he likes, not the audience.

I claim no insider info, but here's my prediction.

It is a perfect setup for Gwen.

Xander's Mom exposes Theresa, and she gets out of Salem, just as Gwen hears that her sister is back in town

Jack and Jennifer instantly accept this new Abby.  Abby goes back to her old life in the mansion with Chad and the kids. Although everyone will think she's back to suffering from DID due to the trauma, which is why she forgets certain details about her old life.  Leaving Gwen angry and jealous.  So, she investigates, and figures out that she's a fraud  (aka Mark Greene's sister).  She exposes her, winning the gratitude and affection of Jack and Chad.

Along the way, Mark and Leo fall in love, and Chad begins to respect Gwen's work at the paper.  Abby's fake DID will also affect Everett's treatment.   I assume that they'll take a page out of AMC's Laurel and say the motive for fake Abby was to pay for the care for her sister with a congenital disorder.

BTW, if I've just accurately predicted the next year's worth of story, I'm going to be quite proud of myself. 

P.S. Chanel's going to lose the baby, which will keep them in town.  She'll employ Mark's sister at the bakery and start an employment program for people with disabilities.  Johnny will make a documentary about the program, and that will give him something to do.

I just read in SOD that Harris leaves to go chase after Megan.  Why don't they just kill people off in Salem? 

OK, as I wrote that I realized that it might be because people don't stay dead on DOOL

But, I feel like if Ava had shot Harris while aiming at Clyde, that would've driven story for her and intensified her hatred of Clyde.  One doubts that Burton will return to DOOL, unless he's doing charity work, so just let Harris die. I am not in favor of loose strings.

Cherie (the new Gabi) seems pretty nice, I've been following her on instagram for months.  I haven't seen her acting reels but I think (or hope) she'll do well in the role.

(usual disclaimer that I realize I cannot know who anyone is from their instagram persona)

It continues to be an odd choice that the Hernandez family are not cast with Latino actors.  Galen Gering and Lindsey Hartley are of Jewish descent. Cherie Jimenez is Sicilian/Italian, and Puerto Rican.  And Jordi Vilasuso is Cuban.

Some will argue that casting should be blind, or that some of the actors are Hispanic.  But you'd have to admit it is a remarkable coincidence that they could not find one culturally Latino actor in Los Angeles.

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
