So, I just read that Kevin Spirtas’ time as Craig is up and he’ll be leaving the show again. I knew it was short term and I think audiences aren’t crazy about having too many gay characters on one show. I’m not sure if Nancy is staying full time or just hanging around a little longer?
I’m so glad that other stories are front burner this week as the possession storyline has been going on way too long. I’m not crazy about the character of Ben, but last Friday’s episode showed that he truly isn’t the man he once was and that his murders were definitely triggered by mental illness and years of abuse. Not that should excuse what he did, but he’s no longer a threat to society and has been rehabilitated. So, Marlena actually made the right decision.
As for EJ and Johnny not having any Father/Son chemistry, I feel that the two actors really haven’t had enough screen time together to form any bonds yet. I think they’re both pretty decent actors, so maybe more interaction between them will help them seem more like Father/Son.
BTW, when is Will returning? Sonny really doesn’t have anyone else besides Chad, Leo and to a degree, Gabi to share scenes with.

I wondered about Will as well. They made a big deal about Will and Sonny coming back and we saw Will for like 4 episodes and then he was gone again. Very weird and no clue when he is coming back.
I am ok with Craig leaving and hopefully Nancy not far behind. I never liked their characters and still don't now. They were just used as a vehicle to get Leo on the show again, and I don't mind Leo, but we don't need these characters if they are taking away from the bigger stories.
I just thought the scenes in the crypt on Friday were awkward with EJ and Johnny. And EJ and Susan. That relationship doesn't seem real either. But he has really good vibes with Belle, and did with Nicole too. I don't know.
I agree about Ben. I don't like him, but he's definitely not a bad guy. I hope he and Ciara leave Salem once the baby comes. They don't even have jobs, how can they support a baby?

Doesn’t Ben still work at Jake’s garage? I’m sure that Ciara gets a trust fund from Victor. But I’m sure they don’t have health insurance.

I guess they must get money from Victor. Didn't they always allude to Hope having a trust fund as well?

I guess they must get money from Victor. Didn't they always allude to Hope having a trust fund as well? She did, and then at one point - I don't know, 10-15 years ago - I recall Doug and Julie telling her the funds took a hit. I don't remember if it was during the Great Recession, or possibly before. Shawn and ostensibly Ciara have trust funds too. I remember way back the first time Jan gaslighted Shawn, after his head trauma following her holding him prisoner, she convinced him to give up his plan to become a lawyer and just live off his trust fund. Lord knows Victor loves dangling sacks of money in front of his grandchildren in exchange for their love and obedience.

Wasn’t Hope’s trust fund from Addie after she passed away? I’m sure that Shawn and Ciara’s would probably come from Victor though.

Doug seemed to come into some money too, that he and Julie could travel as much as they did; and then casually start a business. But I remember, way back now, Doug coming back from one of their trips and telling Hope that their investments took a hit; and there was still a fair amount there, but not as much as there was. So I think the money could have been invested and affected by a market downturn. Honestly though, you and are probably giving it more thought than any Days writer has in the last 15 years...
