Days Opinions For The Week of June 22, 2026

Posted on by Michele and Cheryl

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

The writers honored Deidre Hall’s 50-year anniversary. She was on the show for a long time so it made sense to honor her. The writers found a way to show the flashbacks by having her tell the story to Paul. It allowed the viewers to learn her story with flashbacks. We got a chance to see scenes that we didn’t see before. The writers did an excellent job including scenes with Samantha, Mickey, Don, and the baby she lost. We were moved to see her reaction to losing her baby. She talked about her time with Roman. The flashbacks were from the time Drake Hogestyn played him, but they didn’t forget her time with him. We thought the scenes would be boring, but they were good.

EJ found out the truth about Kristen getting Sophia to kill Johnny. Kristen kept walking around like she was untouchable so she needed a fall from grace. EJ yelled at her for what she did to Johnny. We were glued to our seats while he screamed at her. EJ needs to go after her because she shouldn’t have tried to kill Johnny. Johnny had nothing to do with what happened to Rachel. Rachel was committed because of her actions so Kristen didn’t have to go after Johnny. Sophia could have killed everyone in the building because of Kristen. 

Are we the only ones who don’t care about what happened to Destiny? We don’t want anyone to die, but we couldn’t care less about Destiny, or her sister. The writers shouldn’t force a story where there isn’t one. We feel like we could speak for the viewers when we say that it’s a story they need to wrap up quickly. The writers are breaking a major rule by forcing a new character down our throats. They are talking about a character that we don’t know anything about and making her overdose a major thing. The story is fast-forward material. They can add different characters in the story, and it will be a boring story. For some reason, the writers are trying to make it seem like EJ is the one behind the overdoses in Salem. Kristen was in charge of the company when the drugs were given out so she is the one who should get caught for it. 

Speaking of EJ, Johnny doesn’t have any loyalty to his father. It didn’t take long for Johnny to turn on his father. He was too willing to go behind EJ’s back and investigate him because Brady and Steve wanted him to do it. If the shoe were on the other foot, he would be upset if EJ went behind his back and questioned him. 

We’re torn about Theo’s outburst on Gabi. Gabi apologized to him for accusing him of telling her secret to Philip. He clearly expected her to walk on broken glass before she would forgive her. Theo yelled at her for everything that happened. She tried to explain why she acted the way she did, but he wouldn’t listen to her. Theo didn’t have to be so bitter towards her. It was painful to watch them. On the other hand, Gabi blew any chance of them getting along when she told him that she was giving her inheritance to Titan. What made her think that he would be happy about that? The families are feuding so he wouldn’t want her to give the money away. 

Speaking of Gabi, she found out the hard way that her money can’t buy everything. She paid Liam to go away and she quickly regretted it. Arianna ripped into her for trying to run her life. We get that Gabi wanted to protect her daughter, but she didn’t have the right to pay him to stay away from her daughter. Gabi needs to stop throwing her weight around because she’s not the boss that she thinks she is. Her daughter knocked her down to size when she found out the truth.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Xander and Philip tried to figure out who paid off the Titan loan. They wondered if Gabi, Maggie, or one of the other businesses paid it off. Xander wondered if Philip was behind it. While they were talking, Xander got a call from one of his financial people and found out that the bank sold their loan to ARO Wealth Management. They didn’t know who that was. Xander told Philip to figure it out because he had to handle something. Lexie’s hand started to shake while she was cleaning up. When Abe walked in, she hid it. He told her about Chanel’s cancer and chemo. Lexie empathized with Chanel. Abe talked to her about Paulina not shutting down her resurrection. He told her that he should be with Chanel. Lexie agreed with him and told him she loved him for wanting to support Chanel. Later on, Lexie went to see Dr. Rolf. He gave her another dose. Lexie said that her symptoms were back and worse than before. She said she didn’t care what it took because she wasn’t letting go of her life after she got it back.

Gwen went to the DiMera mansion and found Kristen upset over EJ visiting Rachel. Kristen told a confused Gwen that EJ could hurt her through Rachel. Gwen told Kristen that she was taking the hospital from EJ. Paulina and Johnny were there for Chanel as she started chemo. When Johnny left to get her something to drink, Chanel told Paulina that everyone was making her feel like a sad version of herself. She asked Paulina what was going on with her and Lexie. Paulina said the situation was a mess, but she would be fine. Abe showed up with some tea for Chanel. He let them know that he was thinking about both of them. Paulina left to find Johnny. Abe apologized to Chanel for everything happening at once. EJ ran into Johnny at the hospital and wanted to talk to him about the coriseal. He said the issue with the coriseal wasn’t his fault. EJ said he told the head of pharmaceuticals to handle the situation. He said what happened after that wasn’t his fault. Johnny was upset when he realized they were talking about arsenic and Holly being at the hospital. He asked EJ if Holly being sick was his fault. EJ said it wasn’t his fault, but if it was left untreated, Holly could die. He told Johnny he would do everything he could to save Holly. He said he needed Johnny to lie to Sarah and everyone else to get them to leave DiMera alone until he figured out what to do. Johnny walked away from him. The dose Dr. Rolf gave Lexie didn’t work. He realized nothing was working for Lexie. EJ went to see Dr. Rolf and found out what was going on. He told Dr. Rolf to fix if. Dr. Rolf said there was nothing he could do. He told EJ that Lexie had months to live.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Arianna and Tate were in Holly’s room and talked about what happened at the cabin. They realized that she was only drinking tap water. No one brought water with them. Brady brought Sarah dinner and coffee, but Sarah didn’t want to take a break until she could figure out what happened to Holly. It was going to be hard for Sarah to help her because she didn’t know what was wrong with Holly. Brady tried to figure things out the way his father would. They were struggling to figure out what happened until Tate arrived and told them about his theory about the water. Brady wanted to follow the lead so he headed to the cabin to get a water sample. Julie arrived at the hospital to visit Holly. She assured Holly that they would find out what happened to her. Tate arrived an told them about the poison water theory. He thought the well water could be contaminated. Julie was shocked by that theory. She said that she had the water tested every season, and the water came out perfectly. Sarah walked in the room, and Julie said she was going to get the results from the last test. Brady went to the cabin and filled a vial with water. Someone watched Brady from the window. Later Brady went back to the hospital to give Sarah the sample. They hoped that they got the results in time.
