And while it\u2019s felt like forever, it also feels like yesterday. I thought I\u2019d be ready for these tears, but they hit me hard. Last week was simply rough\u2026and beautiful and funny and sad and joyous and so many other overwhelming feelings. It was everything it should have been as we said goodbye to a legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug\u2019s passing was handled with so much love and care, and I applaud everyone at Team DAYS for that. From the moment Jack discovered he was gone, to Julie\u2019s crumple onto the famous Horton chair, to Kayla ensuring they had as much time with him as they needed, it felt real. Like we were there feeling that loss alongside Julie and the family. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julie waking up the next morning alone in bed was so well done. So poignant. She took us with her on the beginning of her grief journey, and I think we all wanted to be there to give our love and support. Susan Seaforth Hayes just commanded the screen and our hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, Julie\u2019s eulogy to her fallen husband will go down as one of the greatest moments in Days of our Lives history. Susan was phenomenal. The strength she showed was nothing short of inspiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you all for your beautiful words, thoughts, and memories.

That was needed. The hugs. The laughs. The cries. And the simple joy of basking in the presence of loved ones. While we were brought together with familiar (and some new) faces for a farewell to our fair Doug Williams, it felt like it was a celebration of a life well lived rather than a mournful moment. Sad moments, yes. But merely mourning Doug would be a disservice to him &#8212; he was full of life and insisted it be lived!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The returns to mourn Doug and support Julie were spectacular. While I could make a wish-list of who else I\u2019d love to see make it (including some characters regularly on canvas like Chad, JJ, Sarah, and such), it was amazing to catch up with faces like Liz Chandler, Steven Olson, and Marie Horton. Lucas, Eli, Ciara, and our Fancy Face, Hope, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of Chad and JJ, I wish they would have been in Salem to be there for Doug\u2019s passing and the funeral. Though, it gave other characters space to shine, and I know that Julie will need those fellas in the house once others head out of Salem. They\u2019ll be her long-haul support system. I kind of love this, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin with some of those returns, how utterly marvelously mind-blowing for Maree Cheatham to be there!? It\u2019s hard to wrap one\u2019s mind around the fact that she was on episode number one <em>AND<\/em> episode 15,000 some sixty years later. I wish she\u2019d visit more often or, better yet, stick around, but what a lovely treat it was to see Maree again. She\u2019s always been a favorite of mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marie also got some long overdue closure, unfortunately at Maggie\u2019s expense, or should I say, \u201cexhaustion.\u201d It was like an episode of <em>Maggie In The Middle.<\/em> She was caught between Marie and Liz\u2019s decades old catfight, and I love that she was not having it for long. Not today, Marie and Liz. Not today. Maggie brokered peace and they disarmed over their love for Doug. As it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-about-this-new-doug-williams\">What about this &#8220;new&#8221; Doug Williams?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It should be noted that we have a new \u201cDoug Williams\u201d about Salem. Oh, honeys! It took Hope zero seconds to give that scoundrel an eyebrow raise (also, \u201cYes!\u201d to the return of that fab Fancy Face move). You just know he\u2019s trouble. But his days might be already numbered\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope put Jen on the case in her absence. Yes! I love this. &nbsp;Jennifer very much is a celebrated investigative reporter. I\u2019m glad the show is remembering that as it\u2019s often overlooked. This is Jen\u2019s best looks. Let\u2019s keep it. Get this gal an honorary Black Patch badge while we\u2019re at it. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, once Bo wakes up, Fancy Face should return and join Black Patch, too. &nbsp;It won\u2019t be awkward at all. Bo will be back. We can forget her and Rafe happened. We\u2019ve been practicing for years now. It\u2019ll be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I did love how Lucas related to Doug the feelings of being the \u201cnew Horton on the block,\u201d we know he\u2019s bad news. He stole Alice\u2019s diamond necklace. One. I like the story of this. It\u2019s certainly something Addie would have purchased. She liked her bling. Alice? Not as much. She certainly would have seen it as ostentatious. So, I totally believed why Gram would put it away in a time capsule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two, I feel like \u201cDoug Williams,\u201d which sidebar &#8212; hello, Peyton Meyer and welcome to Days of Our Lives! I loved your work on <em>American Housewife<\/em>. I could go on gushing and welcoming, but we have work to do\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug\u2019s story \u201cchecks out\u201d at face value but I\u2019m with all the Salemites that demand proof. Let\u2019s get on that, please. In the meantime, I believe he might be related to the family, but not in the way he\u2019s presenting. Steven Olson mentioned his son, Spencer, and I must wonder \u2013 have we already met him and is he going by \u201cDoug Williams!?\u201d A father and son con act, perhaps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-return-of-familiar-and-fancy-faces\">The return of familiar and fancy faces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, and more so, hello, Stephen Schnetzer! My first and biggest question is, can we keep him? Pretty please, Team DAYS, can we!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Needless to say, I loved seeing Stephen reprise his role of Steven Olson. Stephen is one of those actors who just makes me happy and captivates me. From Salem to Bay City and beyond, I adore this guy. And he plays Steven so wonderfully wicked and delightful. He must keep his promise to Julie that we haven\u2019t seen the last of him. We need more Stephen and Steven as soon as possible, again, pretty please, Team DAYS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another sidebar, I also feel like if Stephen and Wally Kurth shared a scene their matching energy would cause an overdose of charm and talent. That\u2019s not a complaint. Steven seems like he\u2019s the type of character that would need a lawyer. That\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And finally &#8212; <em>FINALLY!<\/em> &#8212; Liz Chandler returned to Salem! I\u2019ve been championing this for years. It\u2019s always been on my Days Of Our Lives wish list. In my excitement, I also super bombarded poor Laurisa with texts about Gloria and Liz. She learned many fun facts, whether she wanted to or not, but I digress. I really hope that Marlena and Liz keep their promise to get their families together. That would be wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wonderful as well was catching up with our Fancy Face. Seeing Kristian Alfonso took my breath away for a second. It was a much-needed reunion. I felt for Hope getting that call. I live away from the bulk of my family and got a similar one recently. To be alone in a room with that grief is a lot to take in. I\u2019m glad Shawn D showed up for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope\u2019s later reunion with Shawn and Ciara at Doug\u2019s gravesite was great. It felt like no time had passed since they were in a scene together. Like an instant feeling of home. I hope to see more of them (and Ciara\u2019s kids!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh! We have an update from Ciara. \u201cBaby Bo\u201d is like \u201cLittle Boy Bo\u201d now and we have a name for the baby &#8212; Addie! I love this. I wonder if she has a middle name like \u201cCaroline,\u201d \u201cAlice,\u201d or Abigail.\u201d Or Claire, even! Spill some more deets, Ciara, you puzzle box opening genius.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet another sidebar, I kind of wanted Hope to talk about Zack. I was a sucker for that little guy and can still hear Hope\u2019s screams when she learned he had died. That was such a haunting DAYS moment. Well. Even if they didn\u2019t speak of him, we know he welcomed Doug over the rainbow bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I could go on praising these episodes, I\u2019ll end on a lighter note. I loved Ciara teasing Julie about JJ\u2019s infamous donuts! That was hilarious. And how it should be. I\u2019m sure with sparkles in his eyes, Doug was looking down on his great granddaughter\u2019s ribbing and laughing that warm, soulful laugh we loved so much. Rest in peace, our fair Mr. Williams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/241210-days-03-1-1024x538.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/241210-days-03-1-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/241210-days-03-1-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/241210-days-03-1-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/241210-days-03-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-days-of-our-lives-loose-ends\">Days of our Lives Loose Ends<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShelle\u201d is officially Shawn (period) and Belle (period). They\u2019re a non-smooshed name now, and have decided to do a simple, quickie divorce. I\u2019m torn on this, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I certainly feel that \u201cShelle\u201d has been done dirty by several writing regimes. That they should have been front and center, or at least their generation\u2019s version of Tony and Anna. That is, showing up in Salem for some fabulousness then whirl-wind-ing out of town on some new adventures. The \u201cLast Blaster\u201d in me will always want them together. There\u2019s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, the \u201cLast Blast\u201d was years ago. So much water (and Philip\u2019s prosthetic leg) has cascaded under the bridge, over it, and in some cases destroyed it. At this point, the bridge is either a new one or a few beams teetering on the brink. It\u2019ll never be the same in either regard. Maybe it\u2019s time for both characters to move on and see where they end up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the day, nobody should be in an unhappy relationship. Belle and Shawn seemed to be there for a long while in the times we\u2019ve seen them. Like them, I never doubted the love was there, but two great individuals cannot be great together sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also feel that Shawn and Belle are at an age, as Evelyn in <em>Fried Green Tomatoes<\/em> stated, \u201cI&#8217;m too young to be old and too old to be young.\u201d They have a lot of years ahead of them (more if the writers de-SORAS them, of course), and they should live them in pursuit of what makes them happy, not clinging to the past because it was once so magical. All and all, I\u2019m glad it ended on a classy note with love, respect, and a hug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And who knows!? \u201cShelle 4.0\u201d could happen someday. It\u2019s Salem and one must never say never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-love-actually\">Love, actually<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the meantime, we can enjoy some ice cream and cookies while watching <em>Love, Actually<\/em> (in honor of Doug) with Belle and Marlena, and some non-combative chitchat with Shawn and Uncle Philip. No! Really. Shawn D and Philly had a mostly civil conversation, and I\u2019m absolutely here for that. They don\u2019t have to be besties, but I\u2019d love to see a new era of them finding their family footing and even bonding a bit. It\u2019s time to move on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three cheers for Stephanie! I was all for her standing up to Xander. She shut down his misogynistic shade with strength and style. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m already tired of Chanel making statements like, \u201cI could forgive Johnny for anything\u2026<em>EXCEPT<\/em> cheating.\u201d We know. We know. Foreshadowing and all, but it\u2019s getting redundant. I feel bad that Johnny and Chanel are saddled with this dud of a storyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, I absolutely adored Chanel, Lani, and Paulina having an at-home spa day! That was so much fun, and some much-needed levity to the week. Of course, they dove into deep topics, but the love and support were right there in that safe space. Let\u2019s plan another one of these when Lani comes home for Christmas! She made the promise and we\u2019re holding her to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-extra-sand-in-the-hourglass\">Extra Sand in the Hourglass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9e93287b9185dff8186da580afa19441\" id=\"h-hot\">HOT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bless Susan Seaforth Hayes. Just wow. What a performance and what bravery to share her soul with the world like that. Those amazing words were spoken of Doug <em>and<\/em> Bill. I heard her goal was to honor her late husband. Oh, wonderful woman, you can rest assure you did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, 15,000 and fabulous, DAYS! Congratulations to the entire cast and crew. May the legacy continue all the days of our lives. Cheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4697272bebdd3d75c8307bef8d27b378\" id=\"h-not\">NOT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like a million times sooner rather than later, Johnny needs to have a chat with his therapist grandmother, Doc Mar Mar. She knows a little some\u2019n, some\u2019n about cheating, guilt, honesty, forgiveness, and all the other emotions that come along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jo-Ro turning to EJ and going along with his advice is a sure-fire way for things to end badly. Like, really super badly. Hasn\u2019t Johnny learned <em>anything<\/em> from watching his father\u2019s failed plans from the front row? In fact, Johnny\u2019s typically the one scolding his dad. So, wise up before it\u2019s, well, <em>really<\/em> much too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-line-s-of-the-week\"><strong>LINE(S) OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe strength!

How mature of you both to finally let go of grievances from the eighties.\u201d Maggie to Marie and Liz<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s days of our lives in a box!\u201d Julie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>* I love that, perhaps, Paulina\u2019s praise of Julie also came with a little nod to Drake Hogestyn, who was famous on set for saying, \u201cSwing for the fences.\u201d Susan did, and, as Mayor Price-Carver stated, \u201cHit it out of the park.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-random-thoughts\"><strong>RANDOM THOUGHTS<\/strong>&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope and Jen calling each other \u201cCuz\u201d will never grow old. It\u2019s like a beeline tug right at my DAYS-loving heartstrings. More, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of Liz\u2019s two grown sons must be named \u201cChandler,\u201d right!? I feel like \u201cTodd\u201d might be the name of the other one. That was Liz\u2019s brother, who she sang to as he passed from injuries sustained in a car accident. It was an epic scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was nice to get an update on Noelle Curtis, too! I feel like she\u2019d be an interesting character to see visit Salem. Maybe her boyfriend has ties to the town, too. Hmm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jack writing Doug\u2019s obituary was fitting. The parallels between them are certainly not lost. I love when Days of Our Lives nails moments like these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well played, Days of Our Lives! I enjoyed that Doug Williams was reading a book about Davy Crockett as \u201cThe Ballad Of Davy Crockett\u201d was Bill Hayes\u2019 top <em>Billboard<\/em> hit in the \u201850s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shawn D and Eli helping Julie up to the podium was such a special, classy touch. It hit home. And <em>maybe<\/em> sent me into another blubbering streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, when Liz approached Julie before singing and quietly said, \u201cI love you,\u201d and the response, well, I was sent blubbering yet again. Okay. I had to hit pause and collect myself after that one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was great when the various characters in different locations toasted Doug!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lucas and Ciara milling around was rather fun. What an unexpected duo. Of course, Lucas got the \u201cBlame Game\u201d all wrong, but it was fun, nonetheless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wonder if Eli and Lani know Frankie Brady. At last we heard, he was a lawyer in D.C. I\u2019d like to think he helped Lani out of prison early and they have dinner at least once a month. Salem connections, and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wow. A \u201cTrish Clayton\u201d namedrop! Last week was so rich with history. I loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I sometimes forget that JJ and Lani had such a deep past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of his excitement to meet FBI Eli, Julie asking Steven, \u201cReally? Are you sure!?\u201d was thoroughly amusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCocanes.\u201d Dead. That was hysterical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m glad the show took a minute to reflect on David Abraham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julie talking about Eli is extremely endearing. The love and pride are so palatable. Of course, he feels the same way about her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope JJ gets back to Salem soon to make slime with Little Lotte and play Scrabble with Thomas now that Doug is gone. It won\u2019t be nearly as magical, but JJ brings a calm, sweet touch to things. I\u2019m glad he\u2019s home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was something so special about seeing Marie, Jen, Lucas, and Ciara in the Horton living room. A day-one character, a legacy vet, the surprise Horton, and the next gen. In other words, \u201cfamily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doug and JJ had a holiday set all planned out, and I don&#8217;t think I could love that more! I hope that Liz returns, or Claire Bear comes back to help him out. I&#8217;d volunteer to duet with him, but I was once told &#8212; and I wrote this down to get the quote right \u2013 \u201cYou have the voice of an angel\u2026<em>if<\/em> that angel were on fire. Please don\u2019t sing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-dan-j-kroll wp-block-embed-dan-j-kroll\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"dLz9cfthIo\"><a href=\"https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/editorial\/days-of-our-lives-commentary-days-rising\/\">Days of our Lives commentary: DAYS rising<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Days of our Lives commentary: DAYS rising&#8221; &#8212; Dan J Kroll\" src=\"https:\/\/danjkroll.com\/blog\/editorial\/days-of-our-lives-commentary-days-rising\/embed\/#?secret=4hBkcW28aO#?secret=dLz9cfthIo\" data-secret=\"dLz9cfthIo\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parting-thoughts\"><strong>PARTING THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the spirit of celebrating a great man, as well as mourning one, I must express my sadness over the loss of Wayne Northrop, our original Roman Brady. Wayne brought such a swagger to Roman that it was hard not to just adore the guy. Just ask Marlena. Doc fell for this hero hard. I was young, but I still recall their banter, the time he slept on her floor to protect her, and, more so, Wayne\u2019s general chemistry with the cast. He was a great talent, and he will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, friends and fellow fans, that\u2019s it for December 9. Last week was a rough one, but I\u2019m glad we got to spend time with loved ones. We got to celebrate homecomings, too, and next week we get ours here &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LaurisaDays\">Laurisa<\/a> will officially be here!
