When does Carlivati material finally end? I'm assuming the new writers will follow his outline as to who the killer is without unfortunately not changing/fixing it?

April 23 is his last official day.

As for his outlines… hopefully, some things were edited/rewritten

Just Gun, Kristen, Shawn, Rafe, Jada, Ava, JJ, Johnny 

Well, that was not the ending I was hoping for...

Jada is a mess. Is this the beginning of a downward spiral for the Chief?

I still believe Rafe is innocent, but does he know who did it—or at least think he does? And if so, is that why he’s keeping JJ in the dark about the listening device?

Spoiler

Speculation (not a spoiler):
I bet he’ll hear EJ say, “What are you doing here?”—followed by a gunshot. No voices, no confession. Unless, of course, Rafe somehow manages to misidentify the voice of either his own sister or his fiancée.

Not for nothing, but when even Javi is telling Rafi that Jada has earned a “hall pass,” maybe it’s time he lets go of all that pent-up anger.

And then there’s Kristen—who has somehow morphed into a completely unlikable, narratively useless character. I don’t want her back with Brady, I don’t want her tormenting Brady. The only way to salvage her at this point is to give her a compelling new love interest—either through business or mystery. She deserves one last shot, for the legacy of the character. But if that doesn’t work? I never need to hear from her again.

Finally, some good news: I finally found Chad’s jacket on WornOnTV! Now if only I could find it in stock…

Could the killer be old lady Rita, who EJ hired to keep track of Rafe, etc.?

I doubt it.. EJ didn’t hire her. Rita has been a trusted and very loyal employee for the DiMera family way before EJ. was born working for Stefano DiMera.

An outline? But, the thing is whatever is left that he wrote is bought & paid for. They own it. They can do anything they want, to it. They are literally free to use it, toss it, or like you say, edit it.

I hope they do.

And not just because of the Ron of it all lol I always like finding out what might've happened on a soap had a writer not left or been fired when they were.

I know DAYS has no budget, but where in the fck did they get that blood on the floor that was EJ's? It looked like cherry Kool-Aid.

And I thought it was ketchup.😂

Most obvious is Ava. So, it's not her, right? LOL

To me it would be satisfying if it were Rafe, but then they'd likely send him to prison & I'm not sure they are ready to cut Galen Gerin loose, yet.

I'm not sure what this means.  ??  🙄🤷‍♀️🤔🙃😜

But, I kinda hope it goes that way because I feel like it would be a good thing for the new team to put their mark on it, ya know? Something they can point to & say, Look this is what we did. 

And, BTW, 18 days is only 432 hours.

Either way, it came from Dollar Tree.

Unfortunately two of the actors said that they followed Ron's outlines for months. 

I’m honestly surprised Kristen hasn’t been woven into John’s exit storyline—this could’ve been a golden opportunity to redeem the character in a meaningful way.

I know, I know—this is probably an unpopular opinion. Kristen’s name alone sends some fans reaching for the fast-forward button.

But hear me out: the dynamic between Kristen and Marlena can actually be fun when it’s not dipped in full-blown chaos. Their history is deeply tied to the era that really cemented John Black as a character. There’s something intriguing in the idea that men like Shane, Andrew, and Steve are constantly stumbling into disaster—and it’s the women who have to save them.

Imagine Kristen using her particular (and let’s be honest—entertainingly shady) skill set to help Marlena uncover what really happened to John.  And maybe Kristen could find love with Andrew's ISA mentor.  Because I cannot think of one romantic pairing that has ever been sucessfuly played by this actress.  And I think it would be entertaining to pair her with an equally manic guy to see what havoc they could create.  Without loosing touch completely with the OG Kristen that wanted to work in non-profits with orphans.

I don't find Kristen entertaining in any way at all.

I don't either. If Eileen Davidson returned, I'd be fine with it, but I'm done with Stacy Haiduk.
