The Critic's Review of Days of our Lives: Salem Couplings and Next Moves: A Critic's Review

It's no secret that Days of our Lives fans have their own opinions - and Soap Hub is no exception. Here are our handy reviews, and cheeky critiques of Days of our Lives week that was. We sat down for five days and watched it all, the good, the bad, and everything in between. Having cleared the canvas of several fan-favorite characters and with 'Who Killed Abigail' and the Shawn/Belle/EJ triangle on Days of our Lives becoming more prominent, who and what else will fill the void? There's a good chance we'll see more of Gabi Hernandez DiMera, Li Shin, Jake DiMera, and Ava Vitali shortly - and if you forgot this quad was a thing, then you're not alone; DAYS forgot too.

It is also important to mention the Eric/Nicole/Rafe triangle, which has been woefully ignored over the last few years, as well as the Johnny/Chanel/Allie triangle which must be mercifully and categorically ended. She went on the attack and he had to bring her back to reality, and both are still out there somewhere with nothing to do. In addition, let's not forget the most boring and insignificant coupling on Days of our Lives: 'Brule'.

Despite Kristen DiMera's reappearance, incarceration, and threat/promise to win back Brady Black, nothing has happened to make Brady Black and Chloe Lane interesting again. It's hopefully still possible to see such legends as Abe Carver and Paulina Price Carver, Doug Williams and Julie Williams, Victor Kiriakis and Maggie Horton Kiriakis, and John Black and Marlena Evans Black regularly...and maybe even get a worthwhile story or two from them. It has happened worse than this!
