Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Johnny noticed that Abe and Paulina’s apartment was decorated with baby items. Chanel was excited when she showed him the crib that she wanted to get. She wondered if Belle left the adoption papers. He lied to her and said she was busy and didn’t do it. Chanel hoped that Belle would drop the papers off soon because she thought something would go wrong with the adoption especially since EJ woke up. Johnny told her that EJ didn’t have a choice but to stay away from the baby. He confessed that he meant what he said about hoping his father would die. Chanel became uncomfortable and changed the subject. She told him about the places she was looking at. He thought it was beautiful, but he didn’t want to rush things. Shawn was on the phone with Hope. He tried to talk her into letting him come out to be with his parents. Hope didn’t want him to leave town. Shawn ended the call and told Jada that his father was dying. He blamed himself for shooting his father. Shawn talked to Jada about growing up thinking that his mother was dead. Bo made sure he had a good life. Jada asked him about the houseboat they lived on. Steve told her about his history. Shawn thought it was amazing. He told her that his father was the best man in the world. Jada hugged him as he started to cry. She talked to him about how she felt when she lost her father. Jada was by Marcus’ side when he died. She let him know that he wouldn’t feel any better being by his father’s side. It didn’t help her feel better. Jada said that Shawn was where he belonged. Shawn wanted to take her mind off her problems, but he unloaded his onto her. She didn’t mind helping him and wanted to get some air. Roman and Kayla talked about the auction and how it helped the hospital when Hope called. She let them know about Bo’s condition. Marlena and Steve were outside the pub. They were feeling good that the ISA would bring John back. Steve and Marlena went inside the pub and reunited with Kayla and Roman. Kayla told them about Bo’s condition. She told them that Bo took a turn for the worst. He got an infection from the ventilator. The doctors couldn’t stop the infection. It turned out that Bo has sepsis. Steve wanted to know if they were giving up on Bo. Kayla didn’t want to give up, but the diagnosis wasn’t good for him. She knew someone who worked on a drug for sepsis, and he worked at the hospital. Marlena knew about the doctor too. Kayla said the drug was still in the first stages and hadn’t been tried on humans yet. She and Steve walked out of the pub to get some air. While they were at the town square, Kayla asked Steve if he was okay. He was still trying to process what she told him about Bo. He couldn’t believe that this happened after finding Bo alive two years ago. Steve thought Bo could beat it since he cheated death before. He refused to give up. Kayla felt helpless about the situation.
Marlena and Roman were talking when Johnny arrived at the pub. Johnny and Marlena sat down and talked about everything that happened recently. She let him know that she talked to Sami about what happened. He said talking to his mother helped, but he was done with his father. Johnny wished his father were dead. She warned him that there is an ongoing investigation about his father’s shooting. Marlena didn’t think he should keep talking like that. She liked the idea that the adoption was going to happen after all. There was nothing standing in his way now. Johnny admitted that he’s standing in the way. Marlena wanted to know what he meant and how Chanel reacted to it. He didn’t know how to tell Chanel, Tate and Sophia about it. She told him that not wanting to hurt people was not a good reason to adopt. It wasn’t fair to the baby or Chanel. She advised him to talk to Chanel about the way he felt. Shawn and Jada ran into Steve and Kayla in the square. He felt guilty about what happened to his father. Steve and Kayla assured Shawn that it wasn’t his fault. They were going to get through it together. Chanel waited for Johnny to get home. She wanted to show him pictures, but he needed to talk about the adoption. Chanel looked at him in horror.
