Actually maybe this goes into the spring because Sami is there -- but Ron was the one who brought her in, apparently. I just find it hard to believe they're showing stuff that won't air for six months right now.

She returned to set in August 2024, which is after the "writer" was out, effective immediately. So maybe Paula Cwikly & Jeanne Marie Ford got into the scripts, and fixed things? Because, both Christie Clark & Chandler Massey are seen, and they aren't back until June 2025, which is well-after his material is ending.

Yeah, I was mistaken -- I caught more on the second watch and there's definitely shots of stuff that are post-Ron (the Drake stuff, I think). But the bulk of this seems to be Ron's material. Ron was the one who originally brought in Sami for whatever story this is, though.

We definitely have like six months of Ron material left. They didn't throw out months of written/shot episodes. But this has a focus to it that's promising.

Mhmm, and thankfully his plans were touched by talent!

This all looks really good. I assume the person with Julie is either Spencer Olsen (Steven’s son) or a relative of Dougie LeClair. Either is good to me! These returns don’t line up with the next few months airdates. Alison Sweeney was filming in August, that’s like April/May airdates. Wasn’t the other returns announced after? Probably May? Very confused seeing this. I feel like they definitely are previewing spring with some of this. Obviously that Hope scene at the end with Julie is from then….cause PR didn’t return for Doug’s Memorial episodes. 
 

And, if they are previewing spring, that must mean winter is gonna be boring as hell.

Nice to know that Disney twunk can subsidize himself again beyond his OnlyFans which he later pretended was him getting 'hacked.'

I forgot about that spicy tidbit.

I cannot believe that they revealed the Intimate Coercion Rape by EJ of Sami that resulted in Johnny's conception & they revealed it TO Johnny! WTG, someone made a really cutting edge decision.

A thought and a follow-up

Thought: It is odd that every time Shawn-D comes back to Salem, they instantly take him back at the Salem PD (especially because last time he was fired for drinking on the job).

Follow-up:  I re-watched the video three times on Instagram, and now it is recommending that I should follow Alan Alarr (no, thank you).  It is like the algorithmic version of Beetlejuice!

Why in the world do they have Belle in that old middle aged woman ugly dress? That's something her mamma would wear and standing next to Carrie who has 19 years on her non soras and she is dressed better and younger than Belle. I hope we're not back to Grandma Belle 

CARRIE!!!!

 

Watched it and loved it. And I see @Soapsuds is going to be happy seeing his man.  

 

I was wondering about the timeline as well since Sami ain't showing up before spring and the new writers start in the spring so thank you all for clarifying that this is not ALL of RC's writing. 

 

And I teared up seeing Hope at Doug's grave. I knew I would, but seeing it hit so different. Since my first memories of Doug was him singing to Gina to coax Hope out of her when Stefano had Hope under his control.  Since her father had been mentioned on the show often enough for I saw him...he lived up to the hype for me and adored their relationship when I saw it.

The only explanation I can think of is that they're trying to emphasise on the fact that Marlena and Belle are mother and daughter. But yes, them getting a Belle that was barely different from Alison Sweeney in age was always an issue and the dress just ages her up. Maybe Martha pissed someone in the wardrobe department off.

It's interesting that they're airing stuff that's clearly not coming for another six months - as someone else said, maybe they did go back and re-edit? Then again, it's probably that they just want to tease the new regime - another issue with being eight to ten months ahead...
