Days Opinions For The Week Of November 3, 2025

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Rachel has turned into the bad seed of Salem. The girl is truly evil. We know she is half DiMera, but she belongs in a horror movie. She talked Thomas into attacking Cat with a pumpkin. We are not fans of Cat buy that’s out of line. They used a contraption to launch a pumpkin at her. The problem with her plan is the Cat didn’t get hit. They hit Alex. Rachel deserved to be grounded. She was acting like she didn’t do anything wrong. Alex could have died from that plan. Brady needs to get tough with her because she is a demon child. Thomas wasn’t any better going along with Rachel’s plan. Chad should have yelled at Thomas for what he did. Thomas thought he had the upper hand by being mad at Chad, but it didn’t take long for him to mess up.

Are the writers setting up a mystery? There was someone in the town square who tried to stab Alex. The person was dressed like Jeremy, but his face wasn’t shown. They could have shown Jeremy’s face since he was dressed as a scientist like the person who tried to stab Alex. Alex threatened Jeremy so we wouldn’t be shocked if he tried to kill Alex. Hopefully the writers will do something with that story and not drop it. We love mysteries, and we’re hoping that it won’t be a letdown. Unfortunately, we’re not expecting much from this story, but we would like to be wrong.

Chanel and Johnny practically rubbed it in Leo and Javi’s faces that they were adopting Tesoro. They knew that Leo and Javi were taking care of him so they didn’t have to rush to snatch him up. Chanel and Johnny should have been more sensitive to their pain. It’s bad enough that she threw her weight around to get the baby, but she didn’t do a better job hiding her joy from them. We know she struggled to get Tesoro, but she should have waited until she was home to express her happiness. Leo and Javi were heartbroken because they lost the baby. We were pleasantly surprised to see Leo be serious. He usually makes jokes, but he showed a vulnerable side. We enjoyed his performance. The writers should have Leo show this side more often.

Speaking of Johnny and Chanel adopting Tesoro, do the writers hate Roman? He’s being treated like an afterthought when it concerns Johnny. Johnny wanted to name the baby after John. It’s nice that he wants to honor his memory, but what about Roman? Roman is his grandfather too, but his role in his life has been downplayed for John. He should have been invited to Johnny and Chanel’s place to see the baby. Marlena and Paulina were there to celebrate the news. Why wasn’t Roman invited? He had to find out about Tesoro from Paulina.

Does anyone else want to see Xander go after Sarah with a vengeance? Are we the only ones? We hope that’s not the case. Sarah was mean to Xander when he wanted to spend some time with Victoria. Xander ran into them outside of the pub, and she was very mean when he tried to speak to Victoria. We understand that she’s mad at him, but he is still the girl’s father. He has a right to talk to his daughter if he wanted to do it. Sarah is being very bitter towards him and punishing him by not letting him see his daughter. We would love to see Xander go back to his old ways and remind her why he was a bad guy. She’s punishing him because he is perfect like she claims to be. Sarah messes up too so she shouldn’t judge Xander so harshly. She just showed him that he can’t tell the truth about anything. Xander should have kept the truth from her because she wouldn’t have found out what he did. Philip was going to keep his secret. We understand that the writers want to redeem Xander and turn him into “Honest Abe,” but he needs to change to teach Sarah a lesson.

Best Lines by Michele and Cheryl

(about EJ’s construction being responsible for the blackout)
Leo: If I wanted to get through the electronic door, I’d need the code.
Chad: Which you didn’t have.
Leo: Right. So I just started randomly punching in numbers when I felt a presence behind me.
Chad: A presence?
Leo: A presence. So I turned and saw, standing there in a hard hat, your family’s fixer.
Chad: Oh, you meant Rita?
Leo: I mean an imperious and overwhelming troll of a woman who made me jump out of my exquisitely moisturized skin, Chadwick.

Chad: You got out of there without getting tazed, so that’s good.
Leo: Be that as it may, Chadwick, that very vengeful woman, who makes the Wicked Witch of the West look like Mary Poppins, clearly told EJ about out encounter and he could do way worse than taser me. What if he decides to disappear me?

Chad: All right, Leo, you’re overreacting.
Leo: Oh, I don’t think I am. In fact, I know that I’m not. Chadwick, I have survived many an unfortunate footwear trend. I am not gonna end up at the bottom of the Salem River wearing cement heels.

(about Leo)
Gwen: I despise him. I mean he makes me itch in all the wrong places.

EJ: Yes. Well, as I recall, you are excellent at masking your true feelings when you want something. I mean you had the Deverauxs and Dimitri fooled for months. It’s such a valuable skill to have. You haven’t lost it, have you?
Gwen: No. I think it’s in my DNA, a talent for deceit.

Gwen: I’d like to take you to lunch or dinner.
Leo: Will there be poison involved?

(about Gwen asking Leo out to eat)
Leo: What was that about?
Chad: I’m not sure. But you should do it. Yeah, let her take you out. Find out what she’s up to. Nothing else, you get a free meal out of it.
Leo: Yea, maybe a little arsenic in my Aperol spritz.

(to Cat about Tony)
EJ: Look, my brother is a savvy world traveler. And my sister-in-law, well, she panics if she can’t find her reading glasses on the top of her head.
