Just finished watching after seeing the tweet... and, you can not only tell Deidre Hall is not up for talking about Drake's passing, but that the overall vibe is that Body and Soul was not a storyline they wanted to play-out.

Now, that makes 5 actors who have spoken out against Ron’s crap. And I hope that list continues to grow

I've said it before, but the Body & Soul storyline really feels like a passive-aggressive swipe at the show and the brass in general, so I suspect there were already tensions mounding backstage before his firing. I think he knew he wasn't getting the contract renewal and decided to flip them the bird.

What’s so bad about B&S? I haven’t watched in years.

I generally like what Ron has done at Days but I stopped watching when he recast Eileen Davidson’s roles. She’s my favorite Days actress of all time and I simply won’t watch anyone else in her roles.

I am grateful to Ron for bringing back Eileen as Susan in 2017 (along with the Sister Mary Moira cameo and Kristen and EJ being revealed as alive.  I am grateful to Ron for bringing her back for Beyond Salem and Marlena’s possession episodes.

I am grateful to Ron for

-bringing back Bonnie and killing off Adrienne

-bringing back Lisa Rinna twice

-bringing back Carrie and Austin on Beyond

-bringing back Mimi and giving her a baby with Rex

-bringing back Heather Lindell and Jay Kenneth Johnson 

-bringing back Jack and reuniting him with Jennifer (and their third wedding)

-resurrecting Bo

-the return of Princess Gina

-bringing back Ivan

-Brandon Barash

-bringing on Orpheus’ twins and naming them 

-bringing back Chris Kositchek on Beyond Salem and updating us on his relationship status with Savannah 

-Zach Tinker

-A Very Salem Christmas (John and Kristen finally married!)

-killing off psycho serial killer Andre

-Andrew and Paul

-bringing back Blake Berris

-the Drew/Shane twist on Beyond Salem

-bringing back camp and embracing the absurdity of the show like Back from the Dead and Microchips and Masks

-reuniting and remarrying John and Marlena and making them the prime supercouple again 

-restoring Marlena to her rightful place as the face of Days of our Lives

Well, there would be repercussions for the scab writers, so if it's ever revealed, it won't be until they retire / leave the industry. 

To be honest, the scabs weren't the worst. I sort of liked the whole night of chaos with Harris shot and the Horton house on fire. The episodes with the box were nice, even if it was understandably low stakes due to it essentially being a filler storyline but we got nice moments and nostalgia out of it. The dialogue writing was mostly quite trite, though.
