Opinion Article
This weekâs Days of Our Lives left us scratching our heads about the characters in Salem. We realized that Maggie is a hypocrite, Sarah is selfish, and Johnny is a monster. In no particular order, weâll get started with our opinions.
We loved how the writers are opening the door for Boâs return. Bo is one of our favorite characters, so we are excited to have him back on the show. We applaud the writers for setting up his return and involving other characters in the story. Umbrella stories give the other characters opportunities to be shown so we are curious as to where the writers are headed with this story. Hopefully they wonât drop the ball on the story.
Johnny proved that he is a monster. In fact, he is just as big of a monster as he thinks his father is. Instead of talking to Chanel about not wanting to adopt Sophia and Tateâs baby, he chose to decide for her. He told them they werenât going through with the adoption. Johnny didnât care that he broke Chanelâs heart. His only concern was not turning out like EJ. Chanel was willing to be patient with him, but he wasnât having it. He thought that she was supposed to understand his apprehension because he didnât want to turn out like his father. In his attempt to not be like his father, he ended up being like him. Johnny could have swallowed his pride and went along with the adoption since it was his idea to adopt a baby. He was the one who talked Chanel into adopting a baby in the first place. If he loved Chanel, he would have been willing to make the sacrifice. His sacrifice would show that he wasnât like EJ. We felt bad for Chanel when she broke down and cried after he told her he didnât want to adopt the baby. She had her heart set on adopting the baby only to be told that Johnny wasnât ready to be a father.
Maggie proved that she is a hypocrite. She ripped into Philip for lying about the inheritance so he could take control over Titan. Ordinarily that wouldnât be a bad thing except she proved she was a hypocrite. When she talked to Julie, she expected Julie to get past Doug stealing from her because âgood people make mistakes.â Maggie thinks Doug is a good person who made a mistake, but she wasnât willing to give Philip that same kind of leeway. Philip was just wrong for what he did. We guess Maggie forgot Doug stole something from Julie and had no problem staying in her house and taking advantage of her hospitality. Why is Doug and good person and Philip isnât? They are both wrong for what they did but sheâs only willing to see Doug as a good person.
Sarah showed how selfish she is. She made the predictable decision of keeping her secret from Xander. Her reasoning was because no good would come from him finding out the truth. Sarah is the same person who was willing to break up with Xander because he lied to her. Now that sheâs on the scheming end, she wants to lie to him. Sarah is no different from her mother when it comes to being a hypocrite. If Xander were the one lying to her about something, she wouldnât care what his reasoning was for doing it. She would find the first divorce attorney in Salem to get away from him. It will serve her right when he finds out what she did and leaves her.
Speaking of Xander, he is being high and mighty about Philipâs betrayal. Philip was wrong for what he did, but Xander isnât innocent by a long shot. He has done his fair share of bad things throughout the years so he really shouldnât judge Philip for what he did. Xander of all people should know what desperate people do when they want something. He doesnât have to forgive Philip right away, but he shouldnât be so stubborn when it comes to Philip. It wasnât that long ago when he wanted forgiveness so he shouldnât be so hard on Philip.
