Note: All spoilers must be behind an LJ cut. Please and thank you.

Be advised that Days isn't on Thursday or Friday this week due to Wimbledon. Since I love tennis, this is A-ok with me.

There aren't many spoilers out there right now for Will and Sonny, but I did find a couple of mentions. Really very vague. I've also included the general down the road spoilers for the show, so be advised if you're a spoiler-phobe.



My notes in [brackets].

For Monday, June 27:

Will and Gabi's graduation is celebrated at the pub. [Yay! Live watch!]


Spoilers for down the road:

One teen romance takes a surprising turn [:D :D :D]

One unhappy couple divorces

Jack comes back to Salem [YAY!!!]

John and Marlena return to Salem [!!!!]

Both Vivian and Carly say goodbye to Salem [But who will bury people alive? :((((]

Taylor, Chloe, and Quinn also bid Salem adieu [I have no idea who these people are, so that's okay]

The fall marks a season of change in Salem [Such as Will coming out, perhaps? :D]

This is interesting

From Nelson Branco a few weeks ago:

New DAYS, or the end of DAYS? You decide: Emmy winner and soap icon Crystal Chappell shocked myriad fans on Wednesday when she tweeted via her hubby’s Twitter account that DAYS is not renewing her contract, which expires in August. Also, TV Guide announced that her co-star, Louise Sorel has also been axed.

In a no-holds-barred interview with Michael Logan, Sorel surprised many by leaking that Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn are returning to town. Yep, apparently hell froze over yesterday. Calls to Hall to confirm the news were not returned by press time.

Meanwhile, in a Soap Opera Digest cover story, “genius” executive producer Ken Corday blames himself for allowing Dena Higley’s head-writing reign of terror to continue as long as it did, which is why he hired new co-head scribes, Passions/DAYS alums Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas Jr. in the alleged scabber’s stead.

But don’t expect any Passions influences in Salem. (Whew!) Corday explains that his new co-head writers were penning James E. Reilly’s vision on Passions and not their own. The new scribes will return DAYS to its former glory, he adds, and are well versed in Salem’s history since they wrote for the NBC serial in the past.

As for future story, Corday goes on to note that Will’s upcoming gay arc will still continue as planned, but the show had to rewrite three weeks of story to slow down Will’s coming out.

According to insiders, expect more actors to get their walking papers, while more past faves return.

I'm fine with slowing it down. This is from June 3, so I presume we're at the tail end of the slowdown.

It sounds like the recently axed head writer was terrible.

Question: Is John Roman these days, or was he proven to not be Roman? I think they went back and forth on that a few times over the years.

John is definitely not Roman. John has one of the most convoluted backstories I've ever seen for a soap character, and that's saying a lot!

My head is spinning! Wow, that is complex.

I'm totally going to add "marrying invalids" to the comm interests. He did it twice!

peggin, I will be needing you. I don't know who any of these people are. :(( But there's someone named Rafe with an evil twin? ... or something.

Re: This is interesting

Rafe was captured by the DiMeras and held in their basement at their mansion while the DiMeras gave some random new guy plastic surgery to look JUST LIKE Rafe. Then they let the new guy lose to have all hell break lose. Was not really that interesting to watch, I've gotta say...

Fingers crossed his 'evil twin' gets killed somehow reaaaally soon.

Yes, Rafe is Sami's husband, and therefore Will's step-father (also his girlfriend, Gabi's brother). Sami has two kids with EJ DiMera, son of Stefano and criminal mastermind in training, and he was less than thrilled when Sami married former FBI agent and current cop, Rafe Hernandez; he didn't want Rafe anywhere near his kids, and I think he kind of wanted to fuck with Sami too. Rafe was in some kind of accident, and EJ took the opportunity to replace him with a double, who was a real scum bucket. Sami was kind of going crazy for a while, not understanding what happened to the wonderful man she married and how he'd turned into this horrible person, and she kept trying to make her marriage work, but of course it wasn't happening because the man she was with wasn't actually her husband.

Right now, EJ and Stefano think the real Rafe is dead, but actually he got away from them and now he and Sami have "the creature" (as they like to call Fake Rafe) locked up in a storage closet somewhere, while Rafe pretends to be Fake Rafe and is trying to get proof that EJ and Stefano were behind it all.

You've really got to love how ridiculous the storylines get on soap operas!
