We were told that this day would come Days of our lives and that we would know it when it happened – and boy, did we. The change in writing was not subtle. After six months of putting out Writers’ Strike material as we waited for the show to catch up to real life, we finally saw the return of editor Ron Carlivati ​​and the regular writing staff on Friday.

And it was not only unsubtle, but it used someone as nasty as Leo to deliver the lines that declared the punching material to be over. As he looked through The spectator on his laptop, Leo read aloud the headline: “Some Salemites Ready to Go Nuclear on Radioactive Mayor.”

His answer ? “That’s a lame play on words. Cliché, overused, ugh. No offense, Everett, but the quality of The spectator The situation has really deteriorated in recent months. But that is about to change. (You can read the full recap here.)

And that has changed. The action was fast and furious Friday. Bobby came out to play big when Jada and Stephanie tried to confront Everett and he put the calm personality aside, practically foaming at the mouth as he yelled at them. Compare that fury to the glimpse we got of a cool, collected Melinda able to handle anything as she managed to avoid stealing from Jude – before Rafe caught her in a lie.

And even though we didn’t actually see Jude, he was the focus of much of the episode. After Sloan was sent on the run by the Temp Writers, Carlivati ​​brought her back to talk to Nicole about it and try to apologize. It was against common sense when it came to saving one’s own skin, but it made perfect sense when it came to drama! There were explanations, accusations, telling Nicole’s extremely problematic story and rehashing her trauma. And then there was this slap.

Eric, meanwhile, got his hands on Leo, scaring the writing critic so much that he called Rafe for help before rushing to tell EJ that he had finally realized what he was hiding . And just as Sloan was about to run away from a furious Nicole, Eric entered the DiMera mansion and she froze, trapped between two angry parents.

So for those who could have put Days of our lives on hiatus for the past few months or if you just weren’t feeling the characters or stories, now – episode 200 of the show’s 59th season – is the time to come back. Fingers crossed we can keep the momentum going as we move forward in the series. milestone of the 60th season.
