From a sleeper agent to a prickly princess, several Salemites are all mixed up. Chad has become Stefano's Winter Soldier! Marlena's mind has been hijacked, too. Hope is still Gina. Steve is still the Fauxnix. And Mickey is still Brady and Kristen's kid, but don't tell anyone or else Xander will not be happy! So, let's sort some things out in this week's Random-packed DAYS Two Scoops!
March 23, 2020
What are the spring trends in Salem? Will Nicole find out the truth, or will her plan be interrupted? And what's the connection between Orpheus and Clyde? Let’s figure out what’s in store for spring in this week’s Two Scoops.
March 30, 2020
It was not such a wonderful day for a wedding as Mind-Meld Marlena was torn between two lovers. Abigail wondered what's up with her hubby, Chad. Nicole's baby-swap wondering continued.

April 13, 2020
Having all the answers isn't always fun. Just ask Nicole. When Eric pressed her for an explanation, Ms. Walker had to walk him through the biggest heartbreak of his life. Eric later had to do the same for Sarah. Plus, Kristen's pain is still present, Patch's presence pesters Justin, and Sarah presented Xander with the look of death.

Though, let's try to avoid lycanthropy as we discuss all things DAYS in this week's Two Scoops, ahoo!
May 4, 2020
Is that Jake or Stefan? Who poisoned Abigail? And are Eric and Nicole the newest crime-fighting duo in Salem? Let's grab a buddy and talk about everything that happened in this week's Two Scoops.
May 11, 2020
Cop. Pricks. Kiss. Uh uh. Stefan O. Lambert. And now, Victor and Xander only had themselves to blame as Maggie learned she was to blame. Rex attempted to sway Sarah while Kristen and Lani claimed, ''You would have done the same.'' Gabi had it coming when, after kissing Jake, she got kicked out of the garage. C'mon babes, let's play the Sweeps Set-Up guessing game as we discuss all things DAYS in this week's Two Scoops!

So many returns! But who is here to stay? Whose intentions are good? And which ones could end up deadly? Let's make our summer bucket list in this edition of Two Scoops!
June 22, 2020
Allie seems shaken by her pregnancy, but is there a schemer underneath? Is this ominous, enigmatic mob boss someone we already know? Jake looks like Stefan, but, inside, is he really Jake? Claire appears stable, but is she? And, when opened, a basic-looking book became full of scandalous surprises, but what are they!?

Lani looked lovely and Eli was wonderfully charming when, at last, they managed to tie the knot -- though their walk down the aisle wasn't exactly cakey. In fact, before their knot was knotted, there were wedding twists and turns. So, let's get gussied up and discuss all the wedding wackiness and the wicked wind that blew precious Vivian back to Salem in this week's wedded DAYS Two Scoops. And by ''precious,'' we mean vengeful and sadistic, of course!

August 31, 2020
Judgmental Salemites? You bet your sweet bippy! Sami was skewered by her siblings but fired shots back. Imaginary Paige gave Eve plenty to ponder. Eduardo weighed in on Gabi's life. And an actual judge made a ruling! So, break out the side-eye, as it's time to get sassy and all judgy in this week's DAYS Two Scoops!
September 7, 2020

November 23, 2020
Once upon a time, they were falling in love, but now they're only falling apart. Like, big time, nasty falling apart. Things got ugly in ''Elani'' Land. Jack and Jen are still a no-go. The chaos continues for Steve and his Sweetness. In fact, the only one merry about marriage is Jan Spears!

2020 was certainly a rough year in the real world, and 2021 in time-jumped Salem didn't fare so well, either.
