Days Opinions For The Week Of September 8, 2025

Opinion Article

We decided to do things differently with this edition of our article. For this article, we are going to write some questions and talk about them.

When will the writers give up on Cat?

We know that we have mentioned this a few times, but it’s worth repeating. It’s time for the writers to cut their losses with Cat. She doesn’t fit on the show. No offense to the actress, but she’s not a soap star. They try so hard to make her seem caring by shoving her relationship with Felicity and Aaron down our throats. We’re not convinced that she needs to be on the show. They knew they were in trouble with her when they did a switcharoo with her character. The writers decided to make her a member of the ISA. Suddenly Cat is a genius who consulted with the ISA. We’re sorry, but we’re not going to buy that at all. Cat was someone who schemed to convince Chad that she was Abby to save her mother. The writers tried to save her character by giving her a bleeding-heart reason for scheming. Fast forward, and Chad fell hard for her. We don’t understand why he would want to be with her when she pretended to be his late wife. With that said, Chad falling for her didn’t change how we felt about the character. She pretends to have a heart of gold as if she didn’t scheme when she arrived in town. We’re sure her storyline won’t pick up now that she’s working with Rafe more. Rafe needs a good storyline of his own, but he didn’t need to be involved with Cat.

Why do Jack and Jennifer look bad for disliking Cat?

Why are the writers trying to make it seem like Jack and Jennifer are the bad guys for not liking Cat? They have every right to feel like Cat is a horrible person. She impersonated their daughter so they weren’t going to be her biggest fans. Chad kept making comments about the way they felt about her. He basically didn’t care how they felt about Cat. Chad was going to see her anyway. They feel the way we feel about her being around.

Did Gabi want to get caught with the bug?

Gabi struts around as if she’s “Miss Tough Girl,” but she proved that she’s not as tough as she thought. She was careless with the bug she planted in Xander’s office. Xander found the pen immediately and told Philip about it. The bug wasn’t in the office for five minutes when they found it. She clearly isn’t like her brother, Rafe at all. Rafe usually has the Salem Brain and refused to let his sister use it. She wasn’t convincing when she acted surprised when Xander and Philip wondered if she planted the bug. Xander suspected her and rightfully so because she didn’t put it in a good spot. She also let it slip that she knew Philip and Xander were getting along. Gabi needs to leave the spy stuff to people like Rafe and Steve.

Was Brady renting the Salem brain?

As you know, Brady was working hard to prove that Sophia was up to something when it concerned her pregnancy. He paid attention to the things that he heard when it concerned Sophia and started putting the pieces together. Brady realized that Sophia lied about the baby. Tate told him that Sophia was acting weird around July 4^th, and he put it together that Tesoro is Sophia’s baby. Tesoro is half Asian so it shouldn’t have taken much to put it together that he belonged to Sophia. There aren’t that many Asian people in Salem so it wouldn’t be hard to get the connection. We never thought we would be happy to see movement in Tate and Sophia’s story. It’s not easy to find something good to watch on the show right now so we are happy to see movement in the story. The other stories aren’t moving too much lately so it meant the world too see Brady figure something out for a change.

Are the writers going to allow the widows to grieve?

We liked how we caught a glimpse of Julie and Maggie grieving over their late husbands. It was a tender moment between them. Julie and Maggie don’t get a chance to interact much for one reason or another, so it was nice to see them talking to each other about their pain. They knew how it felt to lose someone they loved. The writers did the right thing by adding their scenes. It tugged at our heart strings when they talked about feeling alone. The actresses did an amazing job showing their grief while talking about their loneliness and how hard it is to move on. We want to give a shout out to the writers for remembering to have Julie and Maggie talk about Mickey. Maggie wasn’t just married to Victor. She was married to Mickey too.
