Did she become an ambulance chaser? She decided to take on Hattie\u2019s case. For some reason, she decided to take Hattie\u2019s case. She clearly forgot what the woman did to her mother. Hattie imitated Marlena on more than one occasion, and Belle was okay with fighting her case. We know that everyone deserves to have representation, but she didn\u2019t have to jump on taking her case. How did Hattie know she could call on her anyway? She shouldn\u2019t have her number. Belle shouldn\u2019t have taken her call after what she did to Marlena. The woman doesn\u2019t know the first thing about being loyal to her family. We shook our heads watching her jump at representing her. Hattie didn\u2019t have to convince her to represent her. She has been messy since she came back to Salem.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Belle, EJ wanted Kristen to fire Belle from the company. He felt like she would go after more cases that he didn\u2019t want her to handle. We didn\u2019t realize that EJ told Kristen what to do. Belle reminded EJ that she didn\u2019t technically work for DiMera and could do any chase she wanted. We see that the writers are testing the waters between EJ and Belle. They want to see if something sticks between them. We\u2019re sure they will have more scenes together to build up tension between them. Kristen didn\u2019t jump at his whim and decided not to let her go. We didn\u2019t think she would allow EJ to tell her what to do.<\/p>\n<p>We want to put these comments together because they are linked. Ava went to Steve for help with the texts she received. She thought Kristen was the one that sent them. Steve didn\u2019t think twice about helping her. Everyone in Salem seems to forget that she was responsible for Shawn getting killed. Ava did other things while she was in the mafia, but everyone suddenly has amnesia when it concerns her. His loyalty should be towards his wife, but he didn\u2019t think about that. Maybe we just had a hard time getting over something like that since she hasn\u2019t been redeemed properly. Taking her out of Steve\u2019s story doesn\u2019t change what she did. She doesn\u2019t deserve to get treated like she is the princess of Salem when she hasn\u2019t paid for her crimes. Speaking of, why would Roman allow her to stay in the same home of the man she killed? He goes out of his way to protect her when she is the reason why his father is dead.<\/p>\n<p>Steve found out that the person who sent the texts to Ava was at the DiMera mansion. It played out like a little mystery. The person who was responsible for the texts was revealed to the audience. It turned out the person who did it was closer to Kristen than she realized. Rachel was the one sending the texts to Rachel. She was upset that her parents weren\u2019t back together. Rachel blamed Ava for why her parents weren\u2019t together so she wanted to send her a message. She did what she thought she could to get to Ava. We don\u2019t understand the point of her plan because it won\u2019t stop Brady from dating her. She\u2019s trying her best to be a pint-sized DiMera. The problem with her plan is that everyone will think that Kristen did it. She could get in trouble for something that Rachel is doing. Rachel is quickly becoming the bad seed of Salem.<\/p>\n<p>Guess who is back in Salem. If you guessed Arnold (Fake Rafe), then you are right. Arnold showed up at the DiMera mansion out of the blue looking for more money. It\u2019s strange that he showed up out of the blue. He was gone for years and now he\u2019s back. Arnold wants money and doesn\u2019t plan to leave Salem any time soon. He\u2019s a reminder that EJ is far from perfect. Arnold called him out and let him know that he would talk if he didn\u2019t give him more money. He has EJ on his toes right now. EJ acts like he\u2019s tough, but it won\u2019t take much for Arnold to ruin him. We get to watch EJ squirm while Arnold is in town. He will try his best to quiet Arnold, but we don\u2019t think it will work out the way he wants it to. Arnold being back in Salem will catch up to EJ because he isn\u2019t going to walk away as easily as he would like.<\/p>\n<p>EJ deserved the Hypocrite of the Week award. He had the gall to remind Arnold that he raped Sami by pretending to be Rafe. Did he lose his memory when he was shot? He forgot that he raped Sami too. EJ raped her first and wasn\u2019t hired to do anything to her. He didn\u2019t assault her with a mask on, but he forced her to have sex with him to save Lucas\u2019 life. Sami fell in love with him so we were supposed to forget that he raped her, but we didn\u2019t. We never forgot what he did because his actions led to the destruction of one of our favorite couples on the show. Sami and Lucas never recovered from what EJ did. He didn\u2019t have a right to call Arnold out for raping Sami when he was just as bad. Arnold wouldn\u2019t have been around Sami if he didn\u2019t pay him to break up her relationship with Rafe. EJ clearly forgot his actions, or he wouldn\u2019t have called him out for that. We were ready to yell at the screen for being a hypocrite.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to shift gears. We were surprised that Julie was in the holiday spirit. She lost her husband during the holiday season, but she wanted to celebrate. It was strange that she wanted to do that when the love of her life was gone. We understand that she had to move on, but she lost him recently. Julie is the last one who should want to celebrate the holidays. She\u2019s taking Doug\u2019s death very well, and we expected her to need cheering up. The writers should have had Julie feel down after Doug died. We don\u2019t know of too many people who would be in the holiday spirit if someone they love died the way Doug did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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-61286\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/EJ.jpg\" alt=\"EJ\" width=\"196\" height=\"97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/EJ.jpg 318w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/EJ-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 196px) 100vw, 196px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><i>The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2023\/09\/05\/daysart\/\">Back to the Days of Our Lives Articles Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/daytime\/days\/\">Back to the Days of Our Lives Main Page<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opinion Article &nbsp; by Michele &amp; Cheryl Belle clearly doesn\u2019t know how to be loyal to her family.
