Maggie is the brand new CEO of Titan! Who noticed that coming?
Our TV Fanatics, Jack and Christine, are joined by Wendy from MyHourglass, a Days of Our Lives fan discussion board, to debate Maggie’s new job, Sarah leaving Salem, Brady’s remedy of Chloe, and in the event that they’re rooting for Ericole or Ejole?
And what do we expect is Megan’s plan for Marlena, Kayla, and Kate? Learn on to search out out…
Maggie is the brand new CEO of Titan. React!
Wendy: Nicely, I am shocked. I hoped towards hope that it might be Philip, however I am okay with Maggie. I did like the best way she dealt with Alex after his disrespectful response to her. I am additionally glad to see her tackle a brand new function. Why not give her a shot?
Jack: This was a bizarre selection. Initially, I can not think about Victor deciding Alex’s remedy of ladies is unacceptable at Titan, contemplating the variety of occasions Victor has known as Nicole, Chloe, and different girls he does not like derogatory phrases.
Secondly, if he desires to avoid wasting the corporate’s picture, will not hiring his seemingly unqualified spouse NOT assist that?
That being mentioned, I feel that Maggie is extra certified than folks suppose. A farm is not a multi-international Fortune 500 firm, but it surely IS a enterprise that requires sensible decision-making about staff, merchandise, using know-how, and so forth.
So she does have related expertise — which is greater than we will say for a lot of the different individuals who have been CEO over the previous few years.
Christine: What number of of Salem’s CEOs have had any expertise earlier than taking on? Only a few, general.
I used to be positively shocked the selection was Maggie, however I may nearly hear Victor complaining concerning the lack of choices, then jokingly saying Maggie may do it, after which really deciding to present her a shot.
If nothing else, this shall be completely different and is perhaps enjoyable. If nothing else, I am joyful to see Maggie get a meatier storyline.
Sarah signed the divorce papers, took the job in Chicago, and did not inform Xander she was pregnant. Did she make the appropriate selections?
Wendy: No! I would like Xarah darn it! I’m okay together with her not telling Xander concerning the child immediately. With every part occurring, she desires a while to suppose with out stress. Wonderful.
But when she’s going to have the infant – and I hope she does – she wants to inform Xander. I do not need her operating off to Chicago, particularly with Rex. Ick! I hope one thing occurs to make her keep.
Jack: The primary one is a giant YES. I used to be pleased with Sarah for not deciding she has to stick with Xander now that she’s having his child. Taking the job in Chicago is ok if she’s doing it for profession causes, however not if her plan is to be away from Xander in order that when she has her child, he can suppose it is Rex’s.
That is a horrible thought!
Sarah even mentioned that passing off Eric’s child as Xander’s was a catastrophe, and now she’s doing the identical factor once more with this child. And with Leo operating round in search of grime for his gossip column, this secret won’t keep secret lengthy, after which what?
Christine: I do not thoughts her not telling Xander and taking a while to suppose issues by way of for herself, but when she’s having this child, Xander has the appropriate to know and be part of its life.
And please, let’s maintain Rex out of this. He and Sarah make me cringe.
It was Nicole Walker’s twenty fifth anniversary in Salem, and we had been handled to some nice flashbacks of her assembly Eric. Do you suppose Nicole and Eric ought to reunite, or do you like her to be paired with EJ?
Wendy: I’ve by no means been an enormous Eric and Nicole fan. Generally they’re nice, however typically they’re horrible to one another. I simply do not know that they belong collectively.
You’ll be able to love somebody and never be capable of be with them. Which may be the case for them. She does appear to be a greater match with EJ. Nonetheless, whereas he is frightened about Nicole leaving him for Eric, I might count on him to drop her the minute Sami comes again to city, so I do not find out about that pairing both.
Jack: Neither. I nonetheless want Nicole and Rafe would reconcile or that Daniel can be among the many resurrected.
If she has to decide on one in all these two, EJ is the higher selection. I really like how respectful he is being of Nicole and making certain she actually desires this. I hope she does not cheat on him with Eric in any case the possibilities he is given her to determine to be with Eric as a substitute of him.
Nicole and Eric have had greater than sufficient possibilities, and it at all times ends the identical means. Eric could be very judgmental in relation to Nicole, and the entire city sides with him, irrespective of how horrible his habits is.
I would like Nicole to be joyful and never be the city punching bag. Go away Eric in her previous the place he belongs.
Christine: I used to root for Eric and Nicole, however I’ve had sufficient. They do nothing however make each other depressing, and it is no enjoyable to observe.
EJ and Nicole are a surprisingly well-matched pair. They genuinely like each other (and I do not suppose Eric really likes Nicole, as he is at all times making an attempt to get her to alter.)
I would like Nicole and EJ to be Salem’s new energy couple, though I am afraid to get my hopes up as a result of I worry the present simply plans to push Eric and Nicole again collectively as soon as once more.
Stefan not “loves” Chloe. Ought to she rekindle her romance with Brady?
Wendy: No. Chloe wants to maneuver on. Look, I’ll at all times suppose she ought to be with Philip, however Days trashed him and Chloe. If she will be able to’t be with Philip, I feel they need to discover somebody new for her.
Brady is terrible and strikes on to a brand new love yearly. His newest stunt, kidnapping Stefan and nearly killing him, was simply as unhealthy as something Philip ever did.
Chloe is a stupendous, clever lady. She will be able to discover somebody higher than Brady or Stefan.
Jack: Ugh. No. Brady was additionally refusing to present Chloe house, to not point out that he kidnapped Stefan and compelled Rolf to deprogram him. Stefan was proper that Brady is not any higher than Li.
Christine: No! Brady complains about Kristen, however he is not a lot better than she is. He refuses to present Chloe any house. And he is keen to threat killing a person to get what he desires.
What bothered me much more was that he was doing one thing that might, and will, have put him in jail, and he by no means even considered how that might have an effect on his daughter.
Wendy is taking on the lease on the residence, with Tripp, Li, and Gabi as roommates. Who would be the first to maneuver out?
Wendy: Most likely Gabi since Stefan is after her once more. If she actually loves him, why would not she simply let Li have his shares again and be with Stefan?
Jack: I am guessing that Wendy may have had sufficient of being pushed nuts by her silly brother sooner or later and can both throw him out or transfer out herself for some peace and quiet.
Christine: I hope Gabi kicks Li out, or they each go away. I might love for Chanel to maneuver in. That means, we might get plenty of interplay between Tripp, Wendy, Johnny, and Chanel.
Megan mentioned that Marlena, Kayla, and Kate’s “deaths” are important to her plan. Any concepts on what she has deliberate for these girls or why she wants Salem to suppose they’re useless?
Wendy: No. I am not conversant in Megan or her story. I imply, I do know she had a historical past with Bo. Actually, I’ve hated this complete storyline, and I simply do not care.
Jack: I don’t know. Based mostly on the top of Past Salem 2, I’m fairly certain I do know who Megan has within the different chamber, however I can not work out what the ladies need to do with resurrecting that individual.
I feel, partially, she desires to actual revenge on Stefano’s enemies, however I do not know what she desires with them past that.
Christine: I am guessing that maybe she desires to experiment on them with the prisms earlier than she makes use of them on the prize in her different cryogenic chamber.
That is my finest guess, however general, I’m intrigued to see the place that is headed.
What shocked or disillusioned you probably the most this week in Salem?
Wendy: Maggie being the brand new Titan CEO, positively shocked me probably the most.
I used to be fairly disillusioned with Justin blabbering confidential details about his shoppers’ divorce to none apart from Gwen and the city gossip columnist. What the heck was he pondering?
I assume he needed to rub it of their faces that Sarah and Xander would possibly keep collectively, but it surely had the other impact, and that was utterly unprofessional of him.
Jack: I used to be pleasantly shocked that Sarah is conscious that Rex is just not the daddy, slightly than having an inane who’s-the-daddy story, and that she did not determine to stick with Xander for the infant’s sake.
This entire divorce paper getting misplaced factor was foolish, and I am undecided what the purpose was since Xander and Sarah signed new papers immediately.
Sonny’s goodbyes to his household had been rushed, and will Stephanie be taught to talk with out sounding flirty, please? If Sonny weren’t homosexual and her cousin, I might suppose she was into him too, and her tone with Alex was completely inappropriate for somebody who’s over him and moved on with one other man.
I additionally may have accomplished with out Alex hijacking Sonny’s goodbye to trade snipes and withering glances with Chad.
Chanel was additionally petty to behave as if Johnny had no proper to be upset that Allie left with out telling him.
Lastly, I want Jack and Jennifer had stayed in Salem to combat for the Spectator. I hate how shortly they had been ushered off-screen, although I am pleasantly shocked that Gwen not less than desires to respect the paper’s requirements.
Christine: I can not consider Allie did not say goodbye to her twin brother earlier than shifting midway around the globe! I do know their relationship might be contentious, however that was uncalled for.
Additionally, what was up with Stephanie flirting with Alex? The extra I see of her, the extra I dislike her.
What was your favourite quote, scene, or storyline on this week’s Days of Our Lives?
Wendy: I am glad that Sarah and Xander are hopefully having a child. They’re one in all my favourite {couples} on the present (regardless that they’re at present aside). I hope this may push them again collectively and perhaps get Xander to form up.
Jack: I preferred Stefan declaring that Brady was performing like Li Shin on this Days of Our Lives quote…
Brady: Stefan, I’m doing this for you. I solely love Chloe similar to Gabi solely loves you.
Stefan: We each know you are not doing this for anybody however your self. Kristen suckered you and that had nothing to do with me.
Brady: Chloe is aware of why I did what I did.
Stefan: And she or he will not take you again. So you are going to what, change how I really feel about her? You are no higher than Shin.
Christine: I beloved Leo standing up for Gwen throughout her dialog with Jack. Leo has quite a lot of faults, however he could be a actually good good friend.
Additionally, I preferred that Gwen desires to make a go of the paper and never flip it right into a tabloid. Gwen’s life and upbringing have been difficult, which might make her decisions extra unpredictable than most characters.
