"It's (nearly) Groundhog Day!" And just like the movie, Salem seems to be stuck in a storyline loop. Marlena's dead -- again! Susan and Satan are back! Sorta. Plus, Sloan slings shade at Roman's chowder, and Allie agitates everyone. So, let's grab some mourning mocktails and sip away our sorrows in this week's DAYS Two Scoops!
February 6, 2023
Sorry, stupid Cupid, but as Valentine's Day approaches, it's more bad blood and misbehaving than saccharine and sentimental as several scorned Salemites are seeing red and are revenge-minded. Steve, John, and Roman are ready to end Orpheus. Marlena, Kate, and Kayla have been conned. And Xander and Gwen are eager to embrace their wild sides. Let's get mad and misbehave in this week's DAYS Two Scoops!

March 6, 2023
Did you like the way Salem got itself cleaned up for spring? Are you excited that Maggie is head of Titan? Should Sarah tell Xander about the baby? And if so, will it come back to haunt Gwen?
March 13, 2023
Maggie might be Titan's newest CEO, but she wasn't afraid to hit an heir where it hurts! In fact, all she wants is respect, and she's not afraid to demand it. Plus, several Salemites (including Alex) should keep their mouths shut, and this sneaky little town is building several mysteries all at once. Which ones will be solved!?

May 1, 2023
Are you glad Bo and Hope are back together? Do you think there's more in store for them? If so, what type of Salem will they return to?
May 8, 2023
And baby makes three! Well. Maybe four. Five, perhaps, if we include Sloan! Numbers be damned, there is no doubting Nicole is going to be a mama again and already has all the baby daddy drama you can shake a rattle at. So, let's discuss that, a "Very Broe Breakup," and much more in the week's specially delivered DAYS Two Scoops!

Should we trade Megan for Kristen? If so, is Dimitri a fair trade for E.J. and Stefan? Who else has overstayed their welcome? Let's do a roll call in this week's Two Scoops.
June 5, 2023
Let's go, girls! From the good to the bad to the bonkers, Salem sisters are taking a stand!

July 3, 2023
From moving on to murder, every Salemite seems to have something up their sleeve! Leo believes Dimitri's using Gwen. Xander and Chloe are openly using each other. Megan's using Harris to slay Stefan.

July 24, 2023
And just like that, El Diablo's not done with Salem yet! Sorta.

Plus, there were several "What the hell!?" moments! Let's discuss how the devil might have done Abe dirty and all of the other sordid things our saucy Salemites are up to in this week's devilish DAYS Two Scoops!
July 31, 2023
Will Abe's return bring celebration or more heartache? Will he get his memory back in time to remember the names of all the babies due? And will all of those babies actually make it? Let's help Abe reacclimatize to Salem in this week's Two Scoops.

September 4, 2023
While we continued to mourn the spectacular, sharp-tongued Victor in Salem, our soap-loving hearts broke again with the passing of another legend.

Let's put on a happy hat and pay tribute to the fallen and the fabulousness in this week's DAYS Two Scoops!
September 11, 2023
With Victor's passing, what legacy will he leave behind? And now that John has a new past, what will his future be? And will he be around to see his family get their latest heir back? Let's discuss all the big daddy questions on this edition of Two Scoops.
September 18, 2023
Mr. Grinch might be a mean one, but he's a teddy bear compared to these lethal ladies. From grand schemes to drunken flings, these saucy Salemites know exactly what they want and aren't afraid to go after it with sassiness and snark blazing from both barrels. Let's scheme together in this week's "Shady Ladies" DAYS Two Scoops!

October 23, 2023
Salem nights yielded one thousand and one questions! Will Ava unwillingly assist Clyde or display some Vitali vengeance? Will there be a Pa Weston 'Whodunit!?'
