On camera, of course&#8230; [chuckles] Which means, with or without Hattie Adams&#8217; histrionics and all, Charlemagne will finally get that&#8230; rich, dramatic death scene she so richly deserves. [both chuckle]<\/p>\n<p>I am glad to hear it. And you&#8217;re right. A pivotal scene like that should never be played off-camera.<\/p>\n<p>No, never. Are you kidding me? A moment like that, the death of a beloved character&#8211; that&#8217;s the kind of scene an audience tunes in for. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What are you talking about? My God, Johnny, why would you think that Alex and I are having sex?<\/p>\n<p>Because you liked it so much the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny, I have no idea what you&#8217;re&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>I saw you, Chanel, okay? I saw the two of you the other day in here going at it.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, Johnny, this is crazy, okay? Alex and I would never&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>I said I saw you, Chanel! And you&#8217;ve been lying to me ever since.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny, Johnny, you&#8211; please, please, listen to me.<\/p>\n<p>Why&#8211;why should I? It&#8217;s just going to be more lies. Just like the day after I saw you with him, you told me you were going to the bakery. Well, I went there and you were nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<p>I was running an errand.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, at Alex&#8217;s apartment?<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, no, I heard you guys talking about how I was&#8211; I was never going to find out, how clueless I am. I bet you guys had a nice big laugh about&#8211; about how stupid I am.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>What a fool your husband is.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny, Johnny, this is not at all what you think.<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s exactly what I think, okay? And don&#8217;t even bother trying to deny it. I-I refuse to believe another word that comes out of your mouth, because you&#8217;re a cheating slut. Even now&#8230; you&#8217;re lying right to my face. I can&#8217;t believe it. I can&#8217;t even look at you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[door closes]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mom, did you forget? This is my room.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the maids were cleaning mine.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Well, the audition went great. Thank you for asking.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Now I just have to wait and hear back.<\/p>\n<p>Well, you know what I&#8217;m waiting to hear? Whose wedding ring this is.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs softly]<\/p>\n<p>Well?<\/p>\n<p>Well, what?<\/p>\n<p>Well, you said that you met a man at a bar last night, so I can only assume that this belongs to him. What you neglected to tell me was that he was a married man.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Why&#8217;s this taking so long? Oh. all: Surprise!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>W-what is this? Is this&#8211;is&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday, Johnny boy. Are you surprised or what? I mean, you better be, because Chanel worked really hard on all this. All for you, buddy.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Surprise.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>all: * Happy birthday to you *<\/p>\n<p>I bet you&#8217;re feeling pretty stupid right now, because you should be. all: * Happy birthday, dear Johnny * * Happy birthday to you *<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[soft orchestration]<\/i> <i>announcer: Like sands<\/i> <i>through the hourglass,<\/i> <i>so are<\/i> <i>the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>As much as I&#8217;m elated that Charlemagne has finally shuffled off the mortal coil thanks to Marlena&#8230; it&#8217;s still concerning to me that we&#8217;re left with a huge, star-shaped hole in the center of our canvas. I mean, who&#8217;s going to go toe to toe with Kassandra? I mean, it&#8217;s not like we can go online and, you know, find someone&#8211;find a capricious, fiery actress, a soap-opera diva.<\/p>\n<p>I might have a solution&#8230; if we bring back Lorna&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[groans]<\/p>\n<p>And if you agree to play her.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, so I know exactly where you&#8217;re going, and I am more of a back-of-the-house kind of gal. I&#8217;d rather solve problems behind the camera, okay? Not make them in front of the camera.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s fair enough.<\/p>\n<p>So, speaking of troublemakers, though, how are the auditions going for the Faith and Arrow spoiler? The&#8211;the Regan character?<\/p>\n<p>Well, we are off to a promising start. I just directed a very good audition with an intriguing young actress.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Well, who was it?<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Wesley&#8217;s daughter, Joy. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Really, Mother? Must you be so&#8230;provincial?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Provincial&#8221;? Joy, what are we, in a Jane Austen novel?<\/p>\n<p>If only.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Just be honest with me. Is this or is this not a man&#8217;s wedding ring?<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say it is. So what?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So what&#8221;? [scoffs] May I remind you once again how my own marriage ended?<\/p>\n<p>Not necessary, but go ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Fine. It was because your father, a married man, was cheating on me over and over and over again.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>In fact&#8230; it happened right here in this very hotel&#8230; [sighs] With that loathsome Leo Stark. All the while, your mother was sitting at home playing the dutiful wife&#8230; all the while being unaware that she was being betrayed.<\/p>\n<p>The difference is, I haven&#8217;t betrayed anyone, Mother. For one thing, I&#8217;m not married.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, so you&#8217;re not your father in this scenario. You&#8217;re that loathsome Leo Stark. Oh, Joy, how I pity that poor man&#8217;s wife sitting at home, not&#8211; not aware that she&#8217;s being betrayed.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>all: * Happy birthday, dear Johnny * * Happy birthday to you * [applause]<\/p>\n<p>* And many more * [laughter and applause] <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>What are you waiting for, man? You gonna come blow these suckers out or what?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Make a wish first.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Go ahead. Make a wish.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[exhales sharply]<\/p>\n<p>Yay!<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. [applause] I got to say, your wife really outdid herself with this cake, man, huh? She must kind of love you or something.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Anyway, birthday boy gets to cut the first piece.<\/p>\n<p>Careful with that, Alex. I-I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;d trust him with that knife.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] Why&#8211;why is that?<\/p>\n<p>Because he may or may not stab you with it.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s going to stab me with it? Why would he&#8211; why would he want to s&#8211; why would he want to stab me with it?<\/p>\n<p>Well, apparently&#8230; you and I are sleeping together. [people gasp]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>O-okay, now, everybody listen to me and listen&#8211; listen hard. Now, I don&#8217;t know what the hell is going on here, but I do know one thing. My baby girl is no cheater.<\/p>\n<p>Johnny, what the&#8211; Where is this even coming from, bro? Why would you think that Chanel and I are sleeping together?<\/p>\n<p>Why? Why? Because I saw you guys, that&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<p>What are you talking about?<\/p>\n<p>This is crazy. You couldn&#8217;t have seen us because it never happened.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, really? I wasn&#8217;t the only one. Seth saw it, too.<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>What? When?<\/p>\n<p>When? The other day. Remember, I ran into you in the hallway. You said, don&#8217;t go in that room because Arrow and Faith are having sex in there. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Well, I don&#8217;t recall saying it that bluntly, but, yeah, I remember.<\/p>\n<p>You see?<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not Faith. That&#8217;s Faith.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t know that Nancy&#8217;s daughter was auditioning.<\/p>\n<p>Bonnie insisted that we give her a chance.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. So it went well.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it went, uh, really well. You know, Chanel&#8211; Chanel and&#8211;and Joy had this&#8211; this antagonistic energy.<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8211;ha&#8211; that&#8217;s exactly what we need. Huh. Do you think we found our home-wrecker? Do we have our Regan?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I do think that Joy Wesley could be a contender.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, what do you have to say to that, dear?<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] What I have to say is, you have no idea what you&#8217;re talking about, Mom. This guy&#8217;s situation is nothing like yours and Daddy&#8217;s. For one thing, his wife is cheating on him.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, so you think that makes it better? Joy, have you not heard the expression, two wrongs do not make a&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Right. Yes, yes, of course I have. But it&#8217;s not like this woman is some Stepford wife waiting for her husband to return home to give him his slippers or whatever. It&#8217;s not so black and white.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] I am well aware of the gray areas.<\/p>\n<p>What does that even mean?<\/p>\n<p>It means that&#8230; no matter what his wife has done, it doesn&#8217;t give the man a right to sleep around.<\/p>\n<p>And you just assume that he did sleep with someone?<\/p>\n<p>Uh, well, am I wrong, or am I right? Are you telling me that you didn&#8217;t just find that in a Happy Meal?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Come on, Joy, just be honest with me. Did you or did you not sleep with this man?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>But she&#8211; No, wait. I-I thought you meant&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I can see that our birthday boy has been rendered speechless, so I&#8217;ll take the lead here. As it so happens&#8230; Stephanie isn&#8217;t Faith. In fact, she isn&#8217;t even an actress. She&#8217;s our publicist. [clicking tongue]<\/p>\n<p>But wait. I saw you two. Weren&#8217;t you&#8230; rehearsing?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Stephanie and I were rehearsing.<\/p>\n<p>Only because Chanel was running late.<\/p>\n<p>And got a little carried away. Got a little caught up in the moment. That&#8217;s all.<\/p>\n<p>O-okay, so wait, wait. Let me get this straight. When you told me that you saw Arrow and Faith going at it and I walked in, I opened the door, I-I actually walked in on&#8230; Alex and Stephanie?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chanel, I-I-I don&#8217;t know what to say.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it&#8217;s probably best that you don&#8217;t say anything&#8230; because as my mama taught me&#8230;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Best to not speak with your mouth full.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[cake thuds]<\/p>\n<p>Are you not quite ready to hand the role of Regan to Joy?<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] As I said, she&#8217;s a contender.<\/p>\n<p>Ah.<\/p>\n<p>But I would like to see some other actors. Oh, Paulina. I-I-I didn&#8217;t know you were getting here so&#8211; so early for our lunch date. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Well, Abraham, it&#8217;s been, you know, a day of, I guess you&#8217;d say&#8230; unexpected events.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m sorry, this is, uh, Chanel&#8217;s&#8211; Chanel is throwing this big bash for Johnny for his birthday on set. And I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m sorry I didn&#8217;t make it. So how was it? Was he surprised?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, he was. Matter of fact, we all were.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mm. This is so flipping delicious. Ah.<\/p>\n<p>Leo, what are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>What? We cannot let this delicious cake go to waste.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Jeez.<\/p>\n<p>Mmm. You think this is gluten-free?<\/p>\n<p>What, do you have a gluten allergy?<\/p>\n<p>No. Here, you got to try this.<\/p>\n<p>No, I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Try it.<\/p>\n<p>What the hell?<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Mmm.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Oh, my God.<\/p>\n<p>Right? Right? This is so much better than the cake my dad made for me when I turned seven.<\/p>\n<p>Mm, what was wrong with the cake he made you?<\/p>\n<p>Well, besides the fact that he baked it at, like, , degrees, it was so dry you could barely choke it down, he scribbles &#8220;Happy Ninth, Junior&#8221; in the frosting.<\/p>\n<p>Honey, he didn&#8217;t know how old you were?<\/p>\n<p>And often got my name wrong. But look at me now, hmm? Eating this delicious cake, head-writing a TV show. Although my childhood trauma is like a diamond mine, Bonnie, I&#8217;m like a little miner boy&#8211; overalls on, shovel in hand, schmutz all over my face.<\/p>\n<p>Poor little Leo. [chuckles] Mmm, mmm. You know what? We shouldn&#8217;t be doing this. We should not be gorging ourselves like this.<\/p>\n<p>Why not?<\/p>\n<p>Because the baker just got accused of infidelity.<\/p>\n<p>Could&#8217;ve been worse.<\/p>\n<p>How?<\/p>\n<p>She actually could have been cheating on him.<\/p>\n<p>All right, you&#8217;re right. Cheers. Mm. Oh. Oh!<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230; what do you have to say? Joy, clearly, you brought this man, whoever he was, back to your room.<\/p>\n<p>Whoa, okay. Not having this conversation with my mother.<\/p>\n<p>Honey, I just don&#8217;t want you to get h&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>What? Get hurt?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, get hurt. From your youthful vantage point, this may not seem like a big deal, but&#8230; [both sigh] You&#8217;re my daughter, and I love you.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, please. You don&#8217;t care about me. You didn&#8217;t even want me in the first place.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So Chanel goes and stuffs the cake right into his face and, you know, then storms out of there with Johnny right on her heels.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm. Whoa, that does not sound like a fun party.<\/p>\n<p>No.<\/p>\n<p>No, it was a disaster. Oh, and, you know, I just so wanted to just go to my baby girl and, you know, just give her a hug, tell her how wonderful she is. And then, you know, I thought, you know, it might be best to give them some alone time.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s all because Johnny thought he saw Alex&#8230; sleeping with Chanel.<\/p>\n<p>When he was actually with Stephanie.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that is why it happened.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Okay, if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I think I need to go do some damage control before &#8220;Body &amp; Soul&#8221; turns into the set of &#8220;Caligula.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[exhales deeply]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Get out of my way.<\/p>\n<p>No, Chanel.<\/p>\n<p>Get out.<\/p>\n<p>Just wait. Just wait for a second. All right, listen&#8230; listen, I just want to tell you&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>What? That you&#8217;re sorry for calling me a cheating slut? Imagine calling someone you love something like that and right before you walk into the surprise party that they threw for you. Oh, wait, no, you don&#8217;t have to imagine.<\/p>\n<p>Look, please, Chanel, just try to understand where I&#8217;m coming from, all right?<\/p>\n<p>Seth told me that he saw Arrow and Faith&#8211; Arrow and Faith&#8211;having sex in a hospital room. And I didn&#8217;t believe it. I couldn&#8217;t believe it. But I looked in, and I saw Alex in bed on top of someone, and I just&#8211;I-I-I got so upset that I-I just took off.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, and you decided to assume the worst, instead of just&#8211; I don&#8217;t know&#8211;asking me.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re right, Chanel. You&#8217;re absolutely right. I should have asked you. I should have just asked you, but I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>But what, Johnny?<\/p>\n<p>Because I saw you later, all right? And your&#8211;and your back had, you know, gone out, so I thought&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>So you thought&#8211; [laughing] You thought it was from a sex injury? I told you I was tying my shoe.<\/p>\n<p>But the timing of it all and&#8211;and the coincidence&#8230; And&#8211;and&#8211;and then you were just acting like nothing even happened, so I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Because it hadn&#8217;t happened. But whether or not anything did, it didn&#8217;t matter to you, did it? No, because you already assumed that it had. And you know why? It&#8217;s because you don&#8217;t trust me, Johnny, do you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>I cannot believe that Johnny saw us in bed together.<\/p>\n<p>I know. And the fact that he thought it was Chanel and me?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what makes this whole thing even crazier.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, but, Steph, it&#8217;s not like we expected anybody to see us. We&#8217;re consenting adults. We were behind closed doors in a hospital room. Good for us. Plus, Johnny would have never came in if he didn&#8217;t think it was, you know, Faith and Arrow.<\/p>\n<p>You know this is all your fault, right?<\/p>\n<p>Wait, what?<\/p>\n<p>Why did you tell Johnny that Faith and Arrow were having sex? I mean, have you&#8211;have you seen the real Faith? How could you think that I was her?<\/p>\n<p>I told you, I saw you two <i>running lines.<\/i> Plus, you look like an actress&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>So I just assumed you were.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, I am not an actress. I&#8217;m a publicist. And I have sat in on meetings with producers and you, and we were on a Zoom meeting one-on-one.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, I remember, but Kate and Abe explicitly said that they had to cut overhead. So how was I supposed to know that this wasn&#8217;t another belt-tightening measure?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it occurs to me that you think your job is to know things.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, I know things. And one of them being, is I know that the show&#8217;s publicist had a romp in the hay with one of its stars on the set! Now, do you think that the producers would like to know that, too? <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Oh, Abe, I feel so bad for you.<\/p>\n<p>Me?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you. I mean, your&#8211;your show hasn&#8217;t even started airing yet, and your lead actress and director are fighting because he thought he walked in on her sleeping with her costar?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Yeah. Well, tell you who I feel bad for. Johnny and Chanel.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, me too, but&#8230; [scoffs] I mean&#8211;and I don&#8217;t want to lay the blame on anyone here. Obviously, it was a terrible misunderstanding, but, oh, how I wish you hadn&#8217;t have had that oh-so-brilliant idea to pair Alex and Chanel in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Are you laying the blame on me?<\/p>\n<p>O-only in part. I mean, let&#8217;s face it. None of this would have happened if you hadn&#8217;t gone on and on and on about&#8230; what good chemistry those two had and just insisted how damn perfect they&#8217;d look together as costars. I mean, come on, now, Johnny&#8217;s only flesh and blood. The man got jealous. Who wouldn&#8217;t, in his shoes?<\/p>\n<p>You know, being jealous is one thing, but how was I to know that the man had issues and was paranoid and&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, well, why not? I mean, as the saying goes, the apple doesn&#8217;t fall far from the tree.<\/p>\n<p>Are you&#8211; are you referring to&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm, yes, I am referring to that British daddy of his. Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I always thought that Johnny was more evolved than his father.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Chanel, you&#8217;re right, okay? Of course I should have trusted you, but&#8211;but can you just&#8211; Will you try to see this from my perspective?<\/p>\n<p>What perspective is that, Johnny&#8211; the one where you thought that you caught me having sex with Alex? Oh, wait, no, sorry, it wasn&#8217;t me. It was someone else entirely.<\/p>\n<p>I know, but I also saw you at Alex&#8217;s apartment.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, planning your surprise party that he offered to help me with.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, I know that now, don&#8217;t I? But on that day, when I saw you in his hallway and I overheard you saying how clueless I was and that you had to keep it a secret from everyone, do you see how I would connect those dots together?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, only because you were connecting the dots to try to make them equal up to me cheating on you, okay? Don&#8217;t you understand that all of this so-called evidence only leaned that way because you believed that I would actually cheat on you, my husband, the man that I love more than anyone in this world?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Wait, where&#8217;s your&#8230; Wedding ring?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Joy, honey, of course I care about you.<\/p>\n<p>Right, you care about me when you need something&#8230; like, for instance, bone marrow to save the life of your real daughter, Chloe.<\/p>\n<p>Sweetheart, we&#8217;ve gone over this so many times. Of course you&#8217;re as real a daughter to us as Chloe is. [scoffs] And though your father and I will be eternally grateful that you were a bone marrow match for Chloe when she was sick&#8230; Honey, bone marrow is the least of the reasons we care about you. [sighs] Your being our daughter was the gift of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Joy, sweetheart&#8230; please tell me that I am finally getting through to you. I love you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Joy, please tell me that you believe me.<\/p>\n<p>Fine, you love me. But that doesn&#8217;t mean that all of our issues are settled and everything is, you know, magically better between us.<\/p>\n<p>No, I wouldn&#8217;t expect that. But as long as you know that I love and care about you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Fine, I know. And I&#8217;m sorry for sending you on a guilt trip.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. It&#8217;s okay. I&#8217;m used to it.<\/p>\n<p>And now you&#8217;re sending me on one.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry. I didn&#8217;t&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>You know, you still haven&#8217;t asked me how my audition went.<\/p>\n<p>I was just about to. So how was it?<\/p>\n<p>It was, um&#8211;it was good.<\/p>\n<p>Just good?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, it was&#8211; went really well, I think. I read with one of the characters on the show. Well, it&#8217;s Chanel Dupree, but she plays Faith on the show. Apparently my character is supposed to be after her man. [both chuckle]<\/p>\n<p>Well, that sounds normal for &#8220;Body &amp; Soul.&#8221; So what did they say?<\/p>\n<p>That they&#8217;ll let me know.<\/p>\n<p>That sounds like a successful audition. [gasps] Oh, this calls for a celebratory lunch. Um, and then maybe you can, uh, fill me in on whose wedding ring that is.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, you know, I&#8217;ll pass.<\/p>\n<p>Joy, I&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>As I told you, I am not discussing this with my mother. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Where are you going?<\/p>\n<p>For a walk. [door opens, closes]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well&#8230; where&#8217;s your wedding ring, Johnny?<\/p>\n<p>Look, I-I took it off.<\/p>\n<p>When? When what? When you decided that the marriage was over because you thought that you caught me in bed with Alex?<\/p>\n<p>No, okay? It wasn&#8217;t like that.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no? Then what was it like, hmm? I told you from day one that I am not into Alex, period, end of story. But what did you think? That he would just get me so turned on that I would just, oh, my God, cheat on my husband who I love so much because some guy took his shirt off?<\/p>\n<p>Look, I-I-I know, okay? I&#8217;m sorry. I am sorry, Chanel. I-I don&#8217;t know what I was thinking. I-I feel like a fool. Please&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t touch me.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel.<\/p>\n<p>I said don&#8217;t&#8211; Oh, my God. I cannot believe that I went out of my way to throw this big surprise party for my husband, only for him to look at me in the face and call me a cheating slut.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel.<\/p>\n<p>Get out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I said get out!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Okay.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[door closes]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know&#8230; maybe&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Maybe&#8211;maybe what?<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230; maybe as things calm down, Johnny and Chanel will learn that this was just a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] I wish I had your optimism, Abraham, but you were not there to see that look on my daughter&#8217;s face. Johnny hurt her badly. And when my daughter&#8217;s hurting, you better watch out.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been thinking of switching astrology signs.<\/p>\n<p>What? You can&#8217;t do that. It&#8217;s when you were born, silly.<\/p>\n<p>So? I&#8217;m tired of being a Pisces. I was thinking about trying on&#8230; Gemini maybe or Virgo.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re very organized, those Virgos. I could use some of that.<\/p>\n<p>I know what you mean. [chuckles] Mmm.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a shame to waste all of this cake. I&#8217;ll see if I can find an intern to bring it to the break room.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Does this mean&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>We have to eat this cake in the break room?<\/p>\n<p>No, that we have to share. I don&#8217;t think so. I have a better idea.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kate, I can explain.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that won&#8217;t be necessary. Paulina already gave me the details.<\/p>\n<p>Kate, I-I can&#8217;t even explain to you how sorry I am. What happened was completely unprofessional, and I assure you that it won&#8217;t happen again.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I am sure you regret what happened, and I accept your apology. Unfortunately, it did happen. We are about to launch a show. And I can&#8217;t have it get out there that our publicist, who is responsible for promoting the image of the show, is sleeping with an actor&#8230; [sighs] On a set, no less.<\/p>\n<p>Right.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; I assume this means I&#8217;m fired.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Kate, please, you cannot fire Stephanie. Come on, this was not her fault. It was completely mine. I asked her to run lines with me, and we just&#8211; we got a little carried away.<\/p>\n<p>You certainly did. And by rights, I should fire you both for being shamelessly indiscreet, for embarrassing the whole company and negatively affecting a fellow cast member and director whom you both know.<\/p>\n<p>For which we are both very sorry.<\/p>\n<p>So am I. [sighs] But you can keep your jobs. I&#8217;m not going to fire you.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re not?<\/p>\n<p>No. But consider this your first and final warning. For now, you two&#8230; stay the hell away from each other. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[mouth full] You know, this might be all Hattie Adams&#8217; fault.<\/p>\n<p>Um, I didn&#8217;t quite catch that.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. [normal voice] I said this might be all Hattie Adam&#8217;s fault.<\/p>\n<p>You mean Johnny finding out&#8211; or thinking, at least&#8211; that Chanel was cheating on him?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what I mean. After all, the woman did put a curse on the show when she got fired.<\/p>\n<p>So I heard.<\/p>\n<p>Happened to me once, years ago. I went to grab the last container of garlic hummus at Whole Foods, and this petite woman walking an affenpinscher with beady little eyes stared right through my soul.<\/p>\n<p>What kind of curse did she put on you?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d rather not say, but this curse, this Hattie Adams curse, I think it&#8217;s real. And who knows? Maybe something truly terrible is going to befall you at any moment. [gasps] Or me.<\/p>\n<p>Well, well, well, if it isn&#8217;t the little home-wrecker.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Exhibit A.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Johnny. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>Uh&#8230; [clears throat] Joy.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m, uh&#8211;I&#8217;m glad that I ran into you. You, um&#8230; you left this in my room last night.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[breathing heavily]<\/p>\n<p>Where&#8217;s Johnny?<\/p>\n<p>Gone.<\/p>\n<p>Chanel, honey. Oh, honey, are you okay?<\/p>\n<p>[breathing heavily] No. No, Mom, I&#8217;m not.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, baby.<\/p>\n<p>[crying]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/19\/days-of-our-lives-transcripts\/\">Back to the Days Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2021\/12\/23\/daytime-soap-transcripts\/\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/daysanim.gif\" alt=\"Days of Our Lives cast animated GIF\" width=\"137\" height=\"153\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Days of Our Lives Transcript &nbsp; Transcript provided by Suzanne THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
