Trying to narrow down the idiots for this week wasn’t an easy task. We could have put the entire cast down because they were being idiots, but we wanted to pick a few people who earned their spots on the list this week.

Paulina was an idiot because she had no reason to care that much about Abe’s loss. She chose to end things with Abe to save face and then wondered why he didn’t reach out to her about Lexie’s death. Would you want to reach out to someone after you moved on with your life only for the person to die? Yeah we wouldn’t do that either. The last time we checked it was customary for people to offer condolences to grieving people. They shouldn’t have to approach others. Paulina expected Abe to reach out to her. She could have offered her condolences without any expectations.

Marlena had to get an entry on the idiot list because she was talking to Paulina about her relationship with Abe as if she wanted her to get back together with him. Did Marlena forget that Abe was with another woman? She should expect Paulina to be bitter towards Abe. 

Holly was an idiot because she wasn’t paying attention to her surroundings. It was too easy for the guy to try and mug her. For the future, Holly, it’s a good idea to look around if you’re going to be by yourself. The guy wouldn’t have snuck up on her if she paid attention to him. She didn’t realize that he was staring at her like she was the last piece of bacon on the plate. If she were paying attention, she would have saw him watching her. If Lani didn’t show up, he would’ve robbed her. 

Philip told Brady about Xander and Sarah being in the wine cellar. He was the reason why they were stuck in there so why tell Brady about it? Did he think that Brady and Sarah would break up? 

Brady was an idiot to confront Sarah about her feelings about Xander at the Daddy Daughter Dance. It was a time to spend with his daughter, but he was focused on Sarah and Xander. He knew where his priorities belonged. Sarah told him what she wanted him to hear. Unfortunately Xander heard the things she told Brady to reassure him that she loved him. Brady may as well get ready to get dumped.

8/3/26 – 8/7/26

We decided to change things up with this column. The idea came through Facebook. Someone from a soap opera group wrote a very funny and interesting article about the characters on a different show. We decided to pick up the baton and do our own version of it. We’re going to write about the idiots of the week. This column focuses on the characters who do idiotic things. Hopefully there’s enough space because there are plenty of them to go around. We can’t write about everybody so the challenge will be narrowing it down to a specific number of people. The characters won’t be in a particular order. It’s a random drawing. 

Our first idiot award goes to Javi. He’s picked because this guy didn’t hesitate to dump Leo because he felt like he wasn’t over Dimitri. Javi didn’t want to be with him and told Leo to move on since he did with Gus. Fast forward, and he wanted to help Leo while he was in Alamania. He had a dream about Leo and called out his name in his sleep. Javi is in a relationship with Gus, but he’s focused on Leo. He’s an idiot because he was free from Leo, but he wanted to circle in his orbit again. You would think he would mind his business instead of finding ways to bring him up like he’s on a juicy soap you can’t stop talking about…oh wait a second…LOL

Our next nominee is Paulina. This woman has become a little too concerned about Abe’s situation with Lexie. She was the one who chose to do the dumping before she got dumped, but she was a little too excited to find out Lexie left Abe to see her mother. Paulina practically drooled over the idea that Lexie left around Abe’s bday. Side note: Paulina remembered Abe’s birthday, but Lexie didn’t. Lexie wanted to recreate Christmas, but she didn’t think about Abe’s birthday. He should feel about as wanted as a jury duty letter. Paulina should focus on running Salem instead of playing buttinsky with Abe’s marriage. She’s an idiot because she is poking her nose in Abe’s business just to rub it in that he hooked up with someone who left her. She clearly doesn’t have enough to do in Salem, or she wouldn’t be playing amateur detective. 

We have a three-way tie for this spot. Xander, Philip, and Gabi got a little too happy that they beat EJ. Like most idiots, they couldn’t help bragging about their little victory. They couldn’t keep quiet about the loan to save Titan. EJ got upset and decided to find out where they got the money. He found out through Rita (the busybody of DiMera Enterprises.) that Gabi let Xander and Philip take her inheritance. Things hit the fan quickly when he found out what Gabi did. EJ pulled a fast one on them and sped up the time they had to pay for the rest of the loan. Needless to say the celebration stopped for the trio. The knuckleheads shouldn’t have jumped at rubbing it in that they beat EJ. They are idiots because they chose to be smug to EJ as if they didn’t have anything to lose. Xander, Philip, and Gabi found out the hard way that they were no match for EJ. Thanks to their smugness he went after them. We cheered Alex on when he told them that they should have stayed quiet. If they did that, they wouldn’t have made our list.

The last person to make the idiot list would have to be Stephanie. She isn’t last because she is the least idiotic. As we informed you earlier, the list is in no particular order. If we did the article in order, she would have made the top of the list. Stephanie decided to loan out her brain. For some reason, she decided not to tell Alex about her run in with Joy. The woman used being asleep as an excuse for why she didn’t tell Alex about it. Are you serious? She makes it so easy for Joy to come after her man. Stephanie felt it was the right thing to do to tell Theo but not the man she promised to spend her life with. We thought that was stupid too. Joy didn’t hesitate to tell him about it. Needless to say, she made it seem like Stephanie speared her like she was WWE star Roman Reigns. (If you watch WWE, you know who he is. If you don’t watch it, then you can overlook that reference.) Alex gave her a small piece of his mind about not telling him what happened. We enjoyed him finally ripping into her about her wrongdoings. She doesn’t get called out enough so it was refreshing to see it. If Stephanie continues to make stupid decisions like that, she will have a permanent spot on the list of idiots.

There you have it. We have our idiots list completed. It was a hard choice to narrow it down, but we were able to do it. If the characters continue to do idiotic things, there will be another list ready.

Stephanie proved that she was a hypocrite. She was willing to break up with Alex when he kept her from finding out that Kayla called her when she, Marlena, and Kate were gone. Fast forward and now she’s done the same thing to Alex. Stephanie saw that Joy called him and decided to take it upon herself and delete his message. Joy suddenly needed his help because her tire was messed up. Stephanie chose not to tell Alex about the call, and Joy got into an accident while Kelsey was in the car. We know that Joy made it a big deal so she could play on Alex’s sympathy, but Stephanie made it easy for her. Alex yelled at Stephanie when he found out what happened to Joy. He didn’t light into her the way we wanted, but we got a chance to see something. Any time we get to see Stephanie get put in her place, we want to see it. She kept thinking that she was so perfect, but she found out the hard way that she isn’t. 

Speaking of Stephanie, she decided to get drunk with Theo. Let’s move back for a second. Alex and Stephanie got into a heated argument because of what happened with Joy. Joy became a huge obstacle for them. Stephanie told him that Joy was using him, but he didn’t want to hear about it. She couldn’t talk to her parents or the other relatives she had in town. Stephanie decided to get drunk to solve her problem. Theo got drunk because of his issues with his family. We will talk about that soon. She shouldn’t have taken that route. Alex wasn’t happy about it when he saw Theo in their apartment. He couldn’t really say much since he spent the night with Joy. Joy will keep going out of her way to make sure that she comes between Alex and Stephanie. She may act as if she’s so innocent, but Joy is trying her best to come between Alex and Stephanie. If Stephanie keeps doing things like deleting messages and getting drunk with other people, she will make it easy for Joy to get Alex back. 

It’s time to get into Theo’s situation. He found out that Stefano was the reason Lexie had her brain tumor. Theo went ballistic when he found out the truth. He seemed okay with his mother knowing the truth, but he was upset with Abe for knowing what happened. Abe had to basically get on his knees and beg for his forgiveness. Theo refused to hear what he had to say. It took him a long time to get over what Abe did. Theo needs to be more forgiving. He gets so angry when someone makes a mistake. Theo did the same thing to Gabi when she accused him of telling her secret. She apologized over and over again, but he refused to accept it. He needs to consider taking anger management classes to get over his issues. Luckily he finally forgave Abe after he apologized enough.

Lexie chose to take the coward’s way out of telling  her family the truth. She knows that she’s dying, but she didn’t want her family to see it happen again. We understand that she didn’t want to put her family through the pain of watching her die again, but she’s being cruel to her family. They won’t know that she died so they couldn’t say goodbye to her. It’s not fair to make her family worry about her. Lexie is being very selfish. They might be able to get her to the right people who could help her, but she wants to keep them in the dark. She shouldn’t allow them to worry about her disappearing. They will be upset that she didn’t come back home. Abe and Theo would be heartbroken if she disappeared and didn’t come back. They will think she abandoned them.

The writers need to do something about Nicole’s character. They should recast the character or show a blonde woman to represent her. Holly was on the verge of death, but she felt like it was more important to go back to Paris. She loved her daughter so why would she leave her when she needed her. Holly felt like she was alone because Nicole left her. Maggie is no different from Nicole. She decided to stay with Melissa. We’re not surprised that Holly snapped at Sarah since she implied that Holly was on drugs. Holly felt like she didn’t have anyone in her corner since she didn’t take drugs. She looks guilty because EJ made sure no one knew that the drugs that got in her system were from his company. Holly lashed out at Sarah because she didn’t know the truth. Nicole would have stayed by her side and believed that she was innocent.

-Paul can be heard talking while EJ was shown. 

Tuesday

-How did Xander know that Chanel had breast cancer? Who would have told him about her condition?

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.

We liked how Johnny opened up to EJ about Chanel’s breast cancer. He needed someone to talk to about her cancer. Chanel is the one going through it, but it affects Johnny too. He is going through it watching the woman he loves in pain. EJ was allowed the opportunity to be there for Johnny. 

Chanel finally told Paulina about her breast cancer. Paulina was supportive when she heard the news. Chanel should have told Paulina sooner. We understand why Chanel didn’t want to say anything, but Paulina should have been told the truth. Paulina had a right to know what was going on. 

It served Gabi right that Theo wasn’t willing to forgive her for accusing him of telling her secret. If Philip didn’t tell her Theo didn’t tell him, she would have continued to treat him like dirt. She needed to have the proverbial door slammed in her face. 

Roman shouldn’t have been rolling out the red carpet for Joy. Did he forget that Joy almost ruined Johnny’s marriage? You would think that he wouldn’t be so willing to let her hang around the pub. Also, Joy’s baby could also come between Stephanie and Alex yet Roman was acting like he’s the doting grandfather. 

Marlena showed that she’s unprofessional when she blackmailed Xander into dropping the lawsuit against Johnny. If she felt that strongly about it, why did she continue seeing him? She could have recommended another therapist. What kind of a doctor refuses to see a patient unless she gets what she wants? Xander should report her to the board of health.

It was good to see Leo and Gwen getting along. After what Leo did to her, he should be glad that she was willing to talk to him. Gwen is the villain on the show, but she was the victim when it came to Leo and Dimitri. With that said, Leo is Gwen’s redeeming quality so it was nice to see them getting along. 

Why did Marlena have to ask Abe how Chanel was doing? Chanel is married to Marlena’s grandson. She could have checked on Chanel on her own. Marlena acts as if she’s not linked to some of the people in Salem unless it’s convenient. It’s bad enough she has no loyalty to the family, but then she acts like she’s not related to them. 

Johnny needed to stand up to Chanel. She had no problem acting like the decision to have chemo as well as the baby was hers. Did she forget that it’s his baby too? We know it’s her body, but it’s his baby too. She acts like his thoughts don’t matter one way or the other. Chanel could at least talk to him before she decides anything.

Kristen is nowhere near as tough as she pretends to be. She went to Xander to kill EJ. If she was so tough, she could have killed him herself. Why not get someone else to kill him? Was Xander really the only one she could go to?

Stephanie told Alex that it was too much for her to deal with when it concerned Kelsey. She acts as if the situation was only hard for her. Alex has to adjust to Kelsey too. Stephanie acted as if her feelings were the only ones that mattered. She may as well have told him to give up on his daughter because it was hard for her to deal with the situation. Alex has to get used to being a father so she’s not the only one dealing with something new. He needs to divorce her. 

Joy isn’t fooling anyone when she said she wasn’t interested in Alex’s money. We don’t believe for one second that she doesn’t want anything from Alex. If that were the case, she could have told him sooner. She could have let him know that she didn’t want his money. Joy could have kept Alex in the dark if she didn’t want anything from him. She has to make it look like she only wanted him to be a part of Kelsey’s life. 

Abe was so ungrateful when he told EJ to stay away from his family. He wanted EJ to help him, yet he wanted him to stay away. Abe should have thought about that when he asked for help. We get that EJ is the devil incarnate, but Abe could have showed a little gratitude towards EJ since he brought back Theo’s mother and the love of his life. 

Holly is so heartless. She didn’t care that Sophia was dead. We get that Sophia did things to her, but she was her best friend once upon a time. Holly wasn’t innocent when it came to Sophia. She did her own dirt, but Holly judged Sophia as if she hasn’t messed up in the past. We’re looking forward to whatever Amy has in store for Holly. We want Amy to make her pay. Holly wasn’t the one who killed Sophia, but she needs to go down for it. 

Anna wasted no time telling Philip that Gabi was working with Tony. She acted like she was jealous when Tony talked about Gabi. Did Anna think that Tony was going to go after him? With that said, we’re glad Anna told him because the truth needed to come out. Gabi was walking around like she was innocent when it concerned Philip. Also, Philip made it easy for Gabi to tell him the truth but she chose to keep it a secret. 

Lexie had a lot of nerve expecting Paulina to walk away from Abe. She acted as if Paulina was playing around with Abe. Paulina built a life with Abe too. Lexie took liberties that Paulina would just walk away and let her take Abe back. Paulina shouldn’t have been willing to walk away so easily. 

We enjoyed watching Philip rip into Gabi. She just knew he wouldn’t have found out what she did. It took a  long time for the truth to come out so we’re glad it was exposed. If Anna didn’t tell Philip the truth, who knows when the truth would have come out. 

We loved the flashbacks of Steve and Kayla. We missed them the first time around so it was nice seeing them. It makes us wonder why they don’t show them more. We would rather see them instead of some other people on the show.

Alex must really love Stephanie to put up with her attitude when it concerns having children. She didn’t care that Joy dropped the bomb that she had his baby. We all get that Stephanie doesn’t want to have kids, but she acted like Alex was supposed to walk away from his child. You would think that she would be okay with the child since she wasn’t the one who had to have the baby. Alex got what he wanted with a child and she got what she wanted by not being a mother. It would serve her right if Alex left her to be with Joy. Stephanie is doing everything in her power to push him away so it would serve her right if he left her for Joy. 

We’re already sick of Joy acting like she’s innocent when it comes to Alex. She knows she wants to be back with Alex, but she acted as if she was just doing the right thing when it comes to the baby. It will be a matter of time when she uses her daughter to get back with Alex. We can start the countdown because we know she will use Kelsey to her advantage no matter what she says. 

Why did Stephanie have to run to Jeremy when she needs someone to talk to? She has family and friends in Salem that she could run to with her Alex problems. It didn’t have to be Jeremy. He is the same person she thought stalked her but the first chance she got, she went running to him. She made it easy for Jeremy to come between her and Alex. Stephanie gave him all the ammo he needed to break them up. She shouldn’t have been surprised that he tried to kiss her since she kept going to him when she wanted to rant about Alex. 

We were shocked that Stephanie had the Salem brain when she realized Jeremy was the one who got Joy to confess that she had Alex’s baby. A secret like that doesn’t usually come out that easily so we were surprised that she discovered right away that he talked to Joy. It didn’t take much to put two and two together that he talked Joy into coming back to Salem. If Jeremy wanted to pull that plan off, he should have had her come back later. 

The writers must love making Johnny and Chanel suffer. They have been going through it lately. We understand that they are being written off the show, but they didn’t have to give them one tragedy after another. Sophia attacked Johnny and tried to kill him. Chanel ended up with a tumor. What more do they have to suffer through before they leave the show? We have a feeling that the writers are going to make Chanel decide on whether or not she wants to get chemo or save her baby. This decision will be one more thing they have to go through.
