DAYS: January 2026 Discussion Thread

Hmmmm... a Theo/Gabi/JJ triangle?

I can get behind that. It could be good and messy. Adding Philip into it (and also Days remembering that chem test between Theo and Arianna) could make it even messier. Plus, I still think there's more that can be done with Gabi and JJ. I was never a fan of them being completely broken up. And it would be a better use of Casey Moss, who needs much, much more to do. Honestly, he should be leading Days right now.

I really enjoyed JJ's scenes with Theo though, and I'm glad that they were able to discuss and come to terms with everything that happened between them since Theo came back to Salem. I like that it wasn't dropped and that it came to a resolution, even though I wouldn't have minded the two of them continuing to be at odds. But I'm looking forward to seeing what happens, especially if they go there with them and Gabi. And they really should lol. Gabi and Philip's date was kinda sweet too. They haven't really set the world on fire as a couple, but I don't mind the two of them together. And with the secret of Gabi telling Tony about Philip's fraud hanging over them, it adds another dynamic to this potential mess with JJ and Theo.

But I still say that Days is missing the mark with Stephanie and Alex. Even with the stalker, she shouldn't be so OK with the fact that Alex is trying to keep secrets from her and basically controlling her life. As a couple, they're boring and they need more to do. There's so much good conflict that can be mined from all of this, especially if they were pushing a feud/rivalry/hatred between Alex and Jeremy. Days made a big mistake by not having Alex confront Jeremy and get into a brawl with him or something once Stephanie told him about Jeremy being ambidextrous. Which, in turn could've caused more conflict between him and Stephanie. And, eventually would lead her to another man. Xander, perhaps?

Speaking of Jeremy, as much as I think he's being wasted, I did enjoy his scenes with Julie today. They have a nice relationship and I liked that he has someone to talk to about how he's feeling. I think it helps us better understand his character. But just like with JJ, he needs much, much more to do. And hopefully that happens, now that Jada is bringing him in for questioning.

And, we got an update about Bo and Hope! I do like that they're playing a part in Stephanie's stalker storyline.

Right. Instead they ruin Dimitri by having him fall in love with Leo. Are you kidding me???

All the ingredients are there.

They could definitely have said that Dimitri and Andrew had a fling when Dimitri was in the ISA. And was actually in love with Andrew but chose to do all that crap in Beyond Salem, rather than be with him. And now in the storyline, the two of them could be determined to take each other down, but just like with Shane and Ilya, their feelings for each other often take over 😉😂😂
