Julie asked her for the necklace back, but Gwen refused to give it back to her. Julie was upset that she wouldn’t give the necklace back. Gwen read about it being stolen in the newspaper. She reminded Juile that the Hortons weren’t nice to her over the years so she was going to enjoy not giving her the necklace. Julie wanted to know how much Gwen wanted for the necklace.

Days Nitpicks & Flubs For The Week Of June 30, 2025

Nitpicks & Flubs

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Monday

-Unless we missed something, how did Paulina know that Gabi was the one who heard Johnny threatening EJ? She talked to Belle about it as if she knew for a fact that Gabi was the witness.

-Did Arianna forget about her uncle? She talked about Johnny being a good guy like he wasn’t her uncle. Arianna acted as if he was just a guy she knew and not her uncle.

-Chanel was crying without any tears.

-Paulina didn’t want to look biased in Johnny’s case, but she ordered the arresting officer to let Chanel talk to Johnny before he was taken to his cell.

Tuesday

-Arianna acted as if she didn’t know the menu for the pub. The pub is her family’s place so you would think that she would know the menu.

-Who told Kristen that Johnny was arrested? The only person who would have told her (EJ) was with Johnny at the police station.

-Rachel was having nightmares so why would Brady and Kristen let her watch a horror movie.

Wednesday

-Nicole didn’t stay in Salem very long. She was there for Holly’s graduation, but she didn’t stay in town that long.

-Sophia gave birth to her baby, but she looked like she was ready to go out. Her hair was perfectly styled, and she still had her makeup applied. Most likely women who give birth don’t look like they’re ready to go out.

-It was practically pitch black when Doug was with the henchman, but it was lighter outside when Doug was at the town square.

-Sophia managed to give birth and clean up the mess before her parents got home.

-Sophia took her baby out in a brownish wrap, but Javi found him in a blue blanket.

Days Best Lines For The Week Of June 30, 2025

Days of Our Lives Best Lines

Days of Our Lives logo

Best Lines by Michele and Cheryl

Johnny: I do need some kind of representation.
Chanel: Ok, and there are plenty of lawyers here in town to choose from.
EJ: Johnny needs the best possible defense. We can’t leave his fate in the hands of some local Salem huckster.
Chanel: Ok, buy you are also the victim, and not to mention his father. Isn’t that a conflict of interest?
EJ: Judge Grafton ruled otherwise. Now, until you get your law degree, you can bloody well keep your opinions to yourself, Chanel.

Chanel: The way I see it. Johnny made deal with the devil.
EJ: Oh, if you really believed that you’d still be in there trying to talk him out of it.

Chanel: He made his decision, Ok? And I stand by him. And I’ll admit that having a shark who’s willing to lie and manipulate and do whatever else it takes to get my husband exonerated, well, it may be an advantage worth having.
EJ: Well, my dear, you’re making me blush.

Javier: No luck with the necklace, huh?
Leo: None. It’s like trying to find a straight guy at a Kylie Minogue concert. Unless he’s wearing cargo short and is very deep in the closet.

(to Xander when he walked into the mansion with a stuffed dog for Victoria):
Maggie Well I would say look what the cat dragged in but that would be inappropriate.

Leo (to Sophia’s baby): Please kiddo come on. You have got to sleep sometime. Look at this. Do you think all of this happens by accident? Guncle Leo needs his beauty rest please I am desperate here.

(the baby stops crying)
Leo: Okay. It’s good to know that begging works.

Maggie: Full custody? Well I knew you were ruthless and cruel, but I never pegged you for being delusional. No judge on Earth would give you full custody.
Xander: Are you sure about that?
Maggie: Oh would you like for me to recite your rap sheet?
Xander: Heck go ahead. I’ll raise you Sarah’s. Remember she lied to me about Victoria’s paternity.
Maggie: She was trying to protect her.
Xander: Oh just like she lied to protect Philip’s fraud. You know your daughter loves to cast herself as the patron said of Salem, but she has absolutely no problem lying, cheating, and stealing to get what she wants.

Days Opinions For The Week Of June 30, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

As Days fans know, one of the main stories for the week was Johnny’s arrest. Jada had a cop show up at the town square to arrest Johnny. He was arrested in front of Sweet Bits. The idea of getting arrested in public is very embarrassing. Paulina was worried about looking biased in his case so she wanted to make sure everything was done by the book. The story might be what helps us see what the new writers could do after Ron Carlivati was let go from the show. It has the potential of being a great story. We’re trying to be optimistic about it. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a court case on the show. It’s a story that has the potential of being an umbrella storyline. We like that a lot of characters are involved in the storyline. It gives other people a chance to be involved in the story. The storyline involves EJ, Johnny, Belle, Chanel, Jada, Rafe, Gabi, Rachel, Paulina, Marlena, and Roman for now. EJ ripped into Belle because he thought she played a role in Johnny’s arrest. He demanded that she stay on the case. Belle tried to explain what happened, but he didn’t want to hear it. Chanel went off when she found out that Paulina was responsible for Johnny’s arrest. Rafe and Jada had an argument because she betrayed his trust by arresting Johnny. We are always here for drama so we enjoyed watching the arguing that happened after Johnny’s arrest. Marlena and Roman need a storyline again so their involvement was a breath of fresh air. She needed a storyline outside of John’s death and this storyline could be what the doctor ordered. We can’t wait to see what happens during the courtroom scenes. Hopefully something juicy will come out during Johnny’s trial.

Speaking of Johnny’s case, did anyone else think that Gabi was being more self-centered than usual? She didn’t want Johnny to have a trial because she didn’t want to feel EJ’s wrath. What type of woman is she? She should have been concerned with Johnny going to jail because he’s Arianna’s uncle, but she didn’t want to deal with EJ. Gabi always acts like she’s that b*tch so she didn’t have a reason to be afraid of what EJ would do to her if she testified against Johnny. It would be a shock to see her care about someone other than herself.

While we’re on the subject of Johnny’s arrest, he brought it on himself. He wanted anyone with ears to know that he didn’t care what happened to his father. People kept trying to get him to make up with his father, but he didn’t want to hear what they had to say. He had himself to blame for why he was at the police station. Johnny shouldn’t have brought a gun to the DiMera mansion, and he wouldn’t be blamed for shooting EJ. Johnny only had himself to blame for why he was accused of shooting EJ. He decided to act innocent once he was accused of the shooting. Johnny wished EJ would die so why should anyone feel sorry for him now that he’s the prime suspect in the case? We want to see what’s going to happen to him now that he’s in jail. He will wish he had forgiven EJ sooner and didn’t threaten him with the gun.

Why are the writers treating Julie like the villain when Doug was the one who stole from her family? Everyone seems to forget that Doug is a thief who had no problem grinning in Julie’s face after what he did. Steve was the latest one to jump on the “Doug is a saint band wagon.” We watched Steve and Julie’s scenes in disbelief. Julie shouldn’t have had to defend her anger towards Doug. He betrayed her while she was grieving the loss of her Doug. She has every right to be upset with Doug after the stunt he pulled. We really wish the writers would stop trying so hard to make Doug a good guy. He isn’t a good character just because everyone suddenly wants to defend him.

We were appalled when we saw Sophia deliver her own baby. She abandoned her baby because she wanted a life of her own. We understand that it’s her choice what she wants to do with her baby, but she abandoned her child because she needed a life of her own. It’s crazy that she thought that was the right decision to make. The writers wanted Sophia to look like the selfish one which was why Tate was thinking about their child’s future, but she didn’t. She wanted to put herself first. Tate didn’t want to be a father either so why does he get to be the one thinking about the baby. She had to be the one who didn’t want to think about the baby. Right the writers wanted Tate to have his happily ever after with Holly while making Sophia the villain. We do applaud Sophia for leaving her baby at the firehouse instead of in a box. Sophia didn’t score any brownie points when she allowed Melinda to talk her into deceiving everyone by wearing padding to pretend to be pregnant. Did the writers want to write a story that could happen in real life? We read about mothers who abandoned their kids, but we haven’t seen anything like that on daytime. They should get a round of applause for writing a story that’s different from the others. It might hit home for people who dealt with mothers abandoning their children, but it’s different from other stories.

They knew their relationship was wrong. He refused to back down to her. Andre felt like their relationship was okay even if she didn’t approve of it. Nicole felt like he took advantage of Dani. She didn’t approve of him seducing Dani while she was vulnerable. He let her know that he doesn’t take advantage of women. Any woman who is with him wants to be. Nicole felt like he earned his playboy image and should have known to stay away from her sister. He felt like he’s been good for Dani because he’s been there for her.

He tried to tell her about Martin’s problem, but she thought he was talking about Andre sleeping with Dani. She told him that he was too late because Dani admitted everything. They ended up arguing because she was mad that he knew about the affair. He let her know that the Duprees mess up too and that she should show the same understanding that she does with her patients. Ted told her that everyone’s afraid of letting her down. He kept his affair with Leslie a secret for the family. Ted wanted her to understand that he still loved her. She felt they were too far apart, but he wanted her to come off her pedestal so they wouldn’t be. Dani was comforting Ashley at the hospital when Andre showed up. He told her about his conversation with Nicole. Bill thanked Dani for helping Hayley and their baby. He wanted to rub his happiness in her face. Bill couldn’t thank her enough for helping with his new family. He wanted to spoil Hayley for life. After everyone left the hospital, Ashley noticed that Hayley’s ultrasound wasn’t in the system. She found out that Hayley didn’t want to have an ultrasound done. Kat told Tomas that she was ready to have sex with him. She felt like they weren’t on the same page. They started getting intimate until he heard a noise. Kat wanted to know what was going on. Tomas wanted to talk before things went too far between them. He didn’t want to pressure her to do something she wasn’t ready to do. Tomas apologized, but he didn’t want to go through with it. He wanted to take a walk with her. Kat didn’t understand why he made a big deal about it. She regretted telling him that she was a virgin. Kat wanted to be with him, but he didn’t think they should rush things. He decided to leave. Eva arrived at Uptown and ran into Tomas. She noticed that he was drowning his sorrows. They started flirting with each other, but he decided to walk away from her.

Days Opinions For The Week Of June 9, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Roman from Days

Why didn’t Theresa come back for John’s funeral? Shane and Andrew came back for it so why wouldn’t she come back? John was Tate’s grandfather so she should have been there. She came back for Victor’s funeral, but she didn’t come back for John’s. We know she was scheming to marry Alex, but she still came back for Victor’s funeral. The writers didn’t even come up with a reason for why she wasn’t there. Speaking of missing people, why wasn’t Nicole at the funeral? You would think she would have been there for Eric. Will was also missing from the funeral. He took the time to show up when John was in the hospital, so he should have been at the funeral.

Roman must have a good heart to be willing to mourn John after everything that happened with Marlena. You would think that he would have been bitter towards John after the way he had an affair with Marlena. He also had to listen to his family talk about how great of a person John was when everyone thought John was Roman. John’s family talking about him mad sense, but Roman’s family breaking down should have made him cringe. It’s a testament to how good of a person Roman must be.

John’s funeral broke our hearts. It was so sad watching everyone talking about the kind of man John was. Knowing that Drake Hogestyn passed away in real life made the funeral scenes harder to watch. The actors did a tremendous job with the material. Their speeches made us laugh and cry. We do have some complaints about the funeral. There should have been more flashbacks while everyone was talking at the funeral. It would have really broken our hearts if they showed flashbacks. Also, there were people missing at the funeral who should have been there. The writers should have found a way to have Kimberly, Frankie, Max, Sami, Allie, Claire, Will, Theresa, etc. at the funeral. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t have been at the funeral.

Is there tension between Deidre Hall and Kristian Alfonso? We noticed when Hope hugged Marlena at John’s funeral, Marlena acted as if she didn’t want Hope to touch her. Marlena didn’t do that when Bo hugged her. Is it possible that the actresses don’t get along in real life? We did read rumors that they didn’t get along. After what we saw Marlena do to Hope the rumors might be true.

When did Jack and Jennifer get a tombstone for Abby? Abby’s body was missing which was why Cat was able to pretend to be her. When did they find Abby’s body to put her in the cemetery? Speaking of Abby, why would Marlena have John’s funeral on the anniversary of Abby’s death? You would think Marlena would have picked another day to have John’s service.

We enjoyed John’s repass at the pub. It was nice hearing all the stories about John since we didn’t see them when they first aired. The writers did a great job adding flashbacks for the stories. It was a reminder that they should have shown more flashbacks at the funeral. It also gave Marlena a chance to apologize to Roman about the memories of John making him uncomfortable. She’s grieving her husband, yet she took the time to make sure Roman wasn’t uncomfortable talking about John.

Best Lines by Michele and Cheryl

(about John’s funeral)
Tate: Is Kristen here?
Brady: No, no. She thought your grandmother might flip out if she came so in a rare moment of generosity, she stayed at home.

(about John playing baseball)
Paul: He may have missed that pass, but man, he had mad skills when he was on that diamond. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if he played pro ball in a past life. Maybe he threw a pitch or two for his favorite team. The New York Yankees.

Eric: As you all know, there’s nothing you could really do to stop Sami Brady from speaking her mind.

(about John)
Brady: There is one attribute of my father that I don’t think Timothy had anything to do with. And I would be remiss today if I didn’t mention it because I think we would all agree. It is essential John Black. I can sum it up in one word—eyebrow. I’m serious. I’m serious. My dad had many, many skills—spy craft, marital arts, baseball. But I think the use of his eyebrow was perhaps his single greatest asset. Not only was it effective, but extremely versatile.

Kayla: There’s no way you were well enough to leave the hospital.
Bo: What are you, a doctor or something?

(to Jennifer)
Julie: You don’t have to apologize to me. We have tissue. After Doug passed away, I bought them in bulk.

(to Xander)
EJ: I never got to shake your hand after the results of the board vote came in, seeing as you were in handcuffs.

(to Belle)
EJ: You know if this whole DA thing doesn’t work out, you have a knack for improv.
