Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps
Recap written by Michele and Cheryl
Susan wanted EJ to get back in the bed. He was reading his tablet, but she wanted him to rest. EJ didn’t want to rest. He told her about the tension between him and Johnny. Johnny refused to come to him so EJ had to find a way to make amends with him. EJ would be fine once he got back home. Susan was scared that his shooter was still out there. Johnny was on the DiMera couch. He thought about Chanel kicking him out of Abe and Paulina’s place. Johnny wondered what he did, and Paulina questioned it too. She demanded that he make things right with Chanel. Paulina knew he was in pain, but he couldn’t blame himself for his father’s sins. Johnny corrected her and told her that he was his father’s sin. A strong woman could help him get past it. She thought he should fight for his marriage and his future. EJ took enough from him. Susan arrived at the DiMera mansion to talk to Johnny. She let him know that EJ wanted to see him, but he was focused on fixing things with Chanel. Chanel saw Cat and Felicity at the town square. Felicity mentioned the adoption to Chanel, but she stormed off. Chanel came back and told her that she wouldn’t be a mother after all. Paulina arrived so Cat and Felicity left. She told her daughter how Johnny was feeling miserable about what happened. Chanel let her know that they were talking about the adoption for weeks. She told her that he never brought up not wanting to adopt the baby. Chanel had a chance to be a mother, but Johnny stopped the process without talking to her about it. The movie he made was something EJ would do. She didn’t know how she would get past everything that happened. Paulina assured her that things would get better. She and Johnny had to lean on each other. Paulina wanted her to forgive Johnny and move on from what happened.
Kayla was on the phone with Kimberly and assured her that she and Bo would beat the odds. Dr. Jeffrey Russell knocked on her door. Kayla told him that she needed his help. She told him about the sepsis treatment that he was working on and said the drug could save her brother’s life. He didn’t expect it. Dr. Russell told her that the drug hadn’t been tested on animals yet. It’s too early for experimental treatments. Kayla suggested that the experiment be done on the low. He thought it was a risk because no one would get the chance to try it if something happens with the FDA. Kayla apologized, but she was desperate to help her brother. He understood what she was going through. Dr. Russell wanted to be let out of his contract so he could take his drug somewhere else. Kayla stared at him in disbelief. She wondered why he wanted to leave when the hospital fully funded him. He was afraid the hospital was going to shut down because one million dollars wasn’t going to be enough. His potential investors could give him more money. Kayla realized she wanted to sell it to a big pharmaceutical company. She received a text about a patient so Dr. Russell used that as an excuse to leave. Kayla demanded to know what the emergency was with EJ and why he was out of bed. EJ wanted to be discharged immediately, and he wouldn’t hold the hospital libel for it. Kayla got frustrated with him and agreed to let him leave. Leo approached Gabi at Rafe’s place. He wanted to find out who shot EJ. Gabi said Ava did it. Leo didn’t think it was Ava. He thought she did it. Gabi was disgusted by his accusation. She didn’t understand how he couldn’t see that Ava did it. The police would find Ava and arrest her. Leo reminded her how they almost ran into each other the night EJ was shot, and she said incriminating things about EJ. Gabi warned him that she would sue the paper if he printed anything about her being EJ’s shooter. They argued a little more before she stormed off. He looked at her pocketbook. Susan told Johnny that things would work out with Chanel and EJ. She thought EJ would be home soon. Johnny wondered when he was coming home. EJ limped into the room while they were talking. Johnny was going to leave when Susan stopped him. She wanted them to work things out. He brushed past Susan, and she got a bad feeling. She told EJ that Johnny was carrying a bad secret. EJ was going to ask Susan to help him find Rafe’s memory card, but he remembered where it was. Leo decided to look through Gabi’s pocketbook. Gabi walked back in the room and wondered what Leo was doing. Chanel and Johnny saw each other at the town square. He had his luggage with him. Chanel walked past him and went to the bakery. Susan went upstairs, and EJ doubled over in pain. He sat at his desk and took out the memory card. EJ watched the memory card on his tablet. He’s watching a recording of Johnny holding a gun on him.
