Teen Mom 2 alum Kailyn Lowry has very specific stipulations when it comes to her eventual funeral.

“The last time I updated it officially was, like, 2021, so I needed to go through it [recently],” Lowry, 33, said of her living will on the Tuesday, February 3, episode of her “Karma & Chaos” podcast. “I’m going through it, and there’s a section listing the items that you would want to go to certain people and then there’s a section of your wishes.”

According to Lowry, the “wishes” section of her will now includes a “physical list of who’s not welcome” at her funeral.

“I joked about that in the past, but that’s real now,” she said. “It should hold up, if you pick the right person to execute [it].”

Lowry then revealed exactly who will not be allowed at her funeral, including exes Jo Rivera, Javi Marroquin and Chris Lopez, in addition to Jo’s former girlfriend Vee Rivera, Jo’s mom, Janet Rivera, Marroquin’s wife, Lauren Comeau, Lowry’s former nanny Natalie and her “oldest son.” Lowry, meanwhile, acknowledged that Lopez, 31, and Comeau, 34, likely “wouldn’t go” to the memorial in the first place.

“They are not welcome in any capacity,” she stated. “Those are the people who are not allowed. Do not even attempt to step foot in my funeral. That’s my list, and don’t f***ing show up.”

Lowry shares son Elliot, 16, with Jo, 33, as well as son Lincoln, 12, with ex-husband Marroquin, 33, and sons Lux, 8, and Creed, 5, with Lopez. The MTV alum later welcomed son Rio in 2022 and twins Verse and Valley in 2024 with Elijah Scott.

Lowry’s podcast cohost, Becky Hayter, subsequently questioned the validity of her pal’s decision if her death occurred relatively soon and the kids needed the support of their respective dads.

“I don’t care,” Lowry quipped. “Nope, nope, nope, nope. There are so many people in my life that could coordinate getting my kids where they needed to be, that there is absolutely no reason that their fathers need to be there. Elijah can come. There’s no reason for them to be there, [and] those people are not the people that I would want to support my kids in my death.”

Kailyn Lowry is a proud mom and loves showing life with her little ones on social media. The MTV personality became a mom in 2010 when she and her then-boyfriend, Jo Rivera, welcomed son Isaac. While the high school sweethearts split shortly after, the former couple continue to coparent. Rivera said during a November 2020 episode […]

She continued, “Yes, that’s their other parents, and I understand that, but the amount of animosity between all of us? They’re gonna have to hear it and support our kids in some capacity, but they’re not going to be their main source of support at that time.”

Lowry has previously been candid about her coparenting woes.

“[It] ebbs and flows,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of her dynamic with Marroquin, specifically. “Some days it’s really great. Other days, we hit some bumps in the road. I think being that we’re divorced and sort of still in the public eye, I think that we do the best we can.”

At the time, Lowry also revealed that her relationship with Jo is usually good — but “not every day.”

“[I’ve learned to] keep most of it off the internet,” she said. “It’s only been about two years since I’ve really, really honed in on that and actually stuck by that. It’s been, probably, the best thing that I could have done for my kids and my coparenting. For a little while it was, it was a little weird just because the older the child gets, the dynamic of coparenting shifts, so we don’t need to communicate every day.”

Bold and the Beautiful weekly spoilers for February 9th – 13th divulge Eric Forrester (John McCook) delivering a big shocker and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) exploding about something.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we’ll dive into what’s ahead next week.

Deacon and Taylor Take Risks While Liam Discovers Eric’s Secret on Bold and the Beautiful

So, on Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). They’re playing with fire. The question is not will they get caught, but when will they get caught and by whom? Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is determined that this thing with them won’t happen, but yeah, it’s happening.

Over at Logan, looks like Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) finds out that Eric Forrester is Katie Logan (Heather Tom)’s lead designer and Liam may walk in on a design meeting or something. I suspect Liam will be shocked but will also be thrilled for Katie and he may tell Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).

Although, I’m sure that Liam is going to be warned to keep this a secret. I don’t know if he’ll be able to keep it from his wife. And if Liam does tell Hope, then she’ll be stuck secret keeping or betraying her aunt Katie and Eric to Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). That’s a tough position to be in. Donna Logan’s (Jennifer Gareis) already in that position.

Ridge Forrester Racked with Guilt Over Eric’s Ousting on B&B

Meanwhile, Ridge is racked with guilt on Wednesday. I wonder if having RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) back up at the office designing is going to have Ridge really missing Eric after forcing him out the door and essentially ejecting him out of Forrester, the company that he founded. I think Ridge absolutely should feel guilty.

Thursday, February 5th, we’ve got Taylor and Deacon enjoying more secret smooches even though Steffy threatened her mom. This is Taylor’s chance to have her destiny. And she is not going to let it go very easily, even though, of course, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and Steffy are going to be ongoing obstacles.

We’re also going to have more Ridge scenes on Thursday. And we’re going to have RJ up at work. I wonder how long until he asks Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) about her friend Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) that he met. And I thought that RJ and Dylan had really good chemistry, much better than RJ did with Electra, which to me just came off kind of low-key creepy.

I do suspect Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) may tell Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) or Electra what she saw. Clearly Dylan is not going to do what Ivy said. She’s not going to leave town because the actress is on contract and that means there’s another confrontation coming and some truth telling.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Sheila Carter’s Growing Suspicion and Eric’s Creative Masterpieces

Friday, February 6th, we’ve got Sheila, suspicious, but still has no clue that Deacon is betraying their marriage with Taylor and that Deacon has fallen in love with his therapist. But with Sheila’s husband continually disappearing to sneak off and smooch Taylor, obviously Sheila is going to get more and more suspicious. And then all heck is going to break loose.

Plus, Katie is floored when she sees all of Eric’s sketches. He is absolutely going to shock Katie because there’s a whole collection and it’s ready to put in production and the gowns are absolutely perfect. He is at the pinnacle of his creative path.

So, Katie’s going to see the designs and says it is exactly what she wants for Logan. Eric again reminds Katie that they have to keep all of this under wraps. Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is going to be just as impressed as Katie with all the sketches.

Bill is going to be completely cheering for Katie and Eric. I know that Bill’s super happy to have Eric on board as lead designer because he knows how bad it’s going to chafe Ridge when he finds out that his dad is over there working at Logan. But that is Ridge’s fault for ejecting Eric and forcing him into a retirement that he didn’t want.

B&B Spoilers: Steffy Drops a Nuclear Bombshell on Ridge About Taylor and Deacon

Plus, Steffy drops a nuclear bombshell on Ridge and tells her dad that Taylor has fallen for Deacon and that Taylor is insisting that she wants to be with him despite the Sheila risk.

Obviously, Ridge is going to lose his mind, but I think when Brooke finds out, she may be overjoyed because she’s been very vocal about wanting Taylor to find a destiny of her own and to be happy. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooke heads over to Taylor’s office to say, “This is great and you should go for it.”

The week of February 9th through the 13th, we’ve got Eric and Katie getting really busy. They have this whole collection. So, now they just need to take those sketches, get them into production, get the gowns made for Logan.

I am curious to see if there’s any chance we’re going to get a fashion show by the end of the month before February sweeps ends. If not, I feel like they may save it and do it in May sweeps because Bold and the Beautiful isn’t exactly known for moving at a rapid fire pace. So, we’ll see.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: The Forbidden Romance of Deacon and Taylor Continues

Deacon and Taylor are going to keep sneaking around like teenagers at this point. They do love each other. They took their time and they fell in love. Granted, he’s married and they did it behind his psychotic wife’s back, but I also think that part of what’s happening between them is it’s forbidden fruit.

So, they are kind of like teenagers. This is a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing where they’ve been told to stay away from each other. That’s just making it more enticing and more electric. And yeah, they’re going to get intimate sooner rather than later. That’s the vibe I’m feeling. They are absolutely going to keep creeping around behind Steffy and Sheila’s backs.

B&B Spoilers: Sheila Carter Turns Stalker as Deacon Ignores Her Texts

I believe Sheila is going to be stalking soon because Deacon is going to be disappearing. She was texting him when he was over at the Malibu house with Taylor and Deacon’s not answering her text. So, Sheila is not going to put up with this. She’s already on high alert.

Ridge may go and warn Deacon that he better stay away from Taylor or else. I don’t think that’s going to impress Deacon very much. Ridge may also go and tell Taylor she’s playing with fire and to stay away from Deacon. Sheila shot her once and the family lost her. But none of that’s going to work.

Brooke, on the other hand, may go see both of them and encourage it. If she does, I think Ridge and Steffy are both going to be annoyed with her. I’m looking forward to Hope and Brooke having a conversation about this soon.

Relationship Drama for Will, Electra, and the Mystery of Dylan

Will and Electra are going to start having issues with their relationship. I’m guessing this stems from her aunt Ivy kicking homeless Dylan back out onto the streets, bullying her. And forcing her to lie to Will and Electra by intimidating her basically.

I’ve seen a lot on soap social media. The jury is back on this and everybody agrees Ivy’s being awful. Side note, has anybody noticed that Ashleigh Brewer is in these really drapey shirts? I wonder if she might be pregnant. She got married at the end of the year. I’m not saying her body looks pregnant; I’m saying they have her in really drapey stuff, which is very strange because she’s historically always been in snug outfits.

Dylan’s not going to be leaving, so we’ll see how Ivy handles that and if she’s making more threats and maybe Will or Electra overhears. I’m also expecting sparks to fly with RJ.

Dylan Actress Shuts Down Rumors & a February Sweeps Wedding and Bachelorette Party Surprise on Bold and the Beautiful

Melissa Dylan said that Will, Electra, Dylan, and RJ are going to be a foursome with some drama. I also want to know when everybody’s going to stop calling her Miss Dylan. That’s her last name. By not giving her first name from the start, they’ve created this really weird situation.

The actress also said she’s not Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) 2.0. She’s not a lunatic or Luna in a mask with plastic surgery, despite a bunch of fan theories and some really sketchy stuff from some dodgy websites.

Steffy surprises Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) with a bachelorette party and we’re going to be getting a February sweeps wedding for Daphne and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). And then it’s on to baby making time.

Young and the Restless spoilers for February 9th- 13th expect Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) raging at his family and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) cheering.

As we always do on Early Edition Day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then we’ll dive into next week.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jack Spars with Billy

On Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) leaving Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) a message saying he loves her. He knows she’s upset and thinks that he bailed on her. Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) overhears and joins them. And Billy tells him that Jill Abbott’s (Jess Walton) condition is worse. Billy is scared he’s going to lose his mom, but he says that Snapper is optimistic.

Y&R Spoilers: Abbott Faces a Crisis with Jill Abbott’s Health and Chancellor Business

Jack thinks Billy taking Chancellor is a huge mistake, but of course, he disagrees with Jack. Billy says Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) getting her hands on Chancellor would be much worse. Jack, meanwhile, thinks Billy should go and be with Jill, but he says that she asked him to stay put in Genoa City.

Jack wants to know if Billy is putting Chancellor before Jill, which is interesting because Sally thinks that Billy is putting Chancellor before her and Jill both. Billy gets mad and he storms out on Jack. Elsewhere, Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman) tells Michael Baldwin (Christian Jules Leblanc) that Jill can’t handle any stress and she’s doing very poorly.

Diane joins them and, of course, she’s quite thrilled that Victor was slapped by karma. Michael, however, unexpectedly feels bad for Victor. He feels bad for Victor, but he also warned him about using the AI. And now it’s come back to bite him.

Diane Jenkins Cheers as Victor Newman Faces AI Consequences on Y&R

Lauren thinks Diane is right to cheer this and that Victor had it coming. Lauren doesn’t want Michael getting close to Victor again, but Michael defends Victor and says he feels really bad for what he’s going through. Later, Billy and Lauren spend some time talking about Jill and her health.

Diane and Jack discuss trying to get Jabot back online after the shutdown. They also argue about Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Michael. Diane still thinks Jack doesn’t see Nikki clearly. Diane hates how close he is to Nikki. And she says she hates it almost as much as Victor does. Diane’s also annoyed that Jack never gives Michael the benefit of the doubt but always gives it to Nikki.

Victor’s portrait from Newman Tower is dropped off at the new ranch just as Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) shows up. She tells Victor she doesn’t like his revenge plan that Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) told her about using Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). Victor is mad that Chelsea told Nikki about it as well.

Victor Newman Issues a Dark Ultimatum for Newman Enterprises on Young and the Restless

They want to know exactly what Victor has done with Lily and her kids. Nikki keeps trying to reach Lily and can’t get through. Adam joins the conversation, but Victor at this point is so unhinged. He won’t explain anything and calls his family backstabbers before he storms out.

Nikki is hoping that Victor would be able to talk Lily into working with them, but Adam doesn’t think that will happen because of how Victor went after Lily during the whole takeover at Chancellor.

Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Phyllis swan into the Newman CEO office. They’re happy to see “The Mustache’s” painting is gone. Phyllis talks about renaming it Ashby-Summers, but Cane shuts that down and says the name Newman Enterprises is important and carries weight.

And Phyllis keeps griping, but Victor comes in and asks to speak to Cane alone. Phyllis steps out and then Victor tells Cane he had better give him back Newman Enterprises or he will never see Lily and the twins again. Victor is going to tell him he has them, which is kind of ironic because Lily and the twins have both told Cane already they don’t want to see him again.

The Search for Mariah Copeland and Baby Dominic Chancellor Intensifies on Y&R

On Thursday, February 5th, we are going to have Cane getting support from Phyllis. Cane is obviously going to tell Phyllis that Victor snatched Lily and the kids, but I doubt Phyllis will believe that they’re in any danger. Victor would make way too many enemies if he hurt them—Devon Hamilton (Bryton James), Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), Jill, and Nikki would all come for him.

Victor tries to convince his family to trust in his plan and to trust him with this big move he’s making against Cane. Also this week, Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) is going to get together with Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), Sharon Newman (Sharon Case), Abby, and Devon over at the Chancellor Mansion to talk about Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) and Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes).

Abby and Devon are hoping Burrow can find them. By the way, if he’s not already signed on, he is going to be with the GCPD soon as a detective. On Friday, February 6th, we’ve got Victor really putting the screws to Cane. Phyllis probably thinks Victor’s bluffing, but Cane may not want to risk it. Whether Lily is playing along or not, I’m sure Cane isn’t going to be able to reach her and he may panic.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Jabot Returns Online While Kyle Abbott Plays with Fire

Will Cane really give in and give everything back they took? I don’t think Phyllis is going to let that happen. Meanwhile, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) and Jack make a new power move. They’re taking Jabot back online. Will they also make a move against Victor and kick him while he’s down? I think Diane would be all for that.

Plus, Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) goes to Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) for help with a new assignment. I wonder if Cane has tasked Holden to try and get a lead on where Lily may be. There’s a chance Claire may betray Victor because she’s pretty mad about all the things he’s done on Young and the Restless.

Claire might barter that info for the information she wants on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). Meanwhile, Mariah continues on the run this week with Dominic and imaginary Ian Ward (Ray Wise) riding shotgun.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: February Sweeps and Valentine’s Day Surprises

The following week, February 9th through the 13th, we are deep into February sweeps and we’ve got Mariah’s scary downward spiral picking up the pace. She and Dominic are going to stay on the run, but their pursuers are coming for them. It looks like she’s heading south, maybe back to Florida.

Burrow, Devon, and Abby are going to hop on a private jet to try and stop Mariah from carrying out her plan. We’ll see if Sharon, Tessa, and others go along. Meanwhile, Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) is there for Tessa as she worries about Mariah’s increasingly scary behavior.

This may push Tessa to go ahead and get a quickie divorce from Mariah so she can get sole custody of Aria Porter Copeland now that her estranged wife is out kidnapping kids. Sharon, meanwhile, is consumed with guilt over Mariah and is blaming herself for what has happened.

Valentine’s Day Romance on Y&R

In other news, Adam has a very nice Valentine’s Day surprise for Chelsea. Claire keeps going after Audra. And I wonder if Sienna’s remark about a guy going missing is enough to send Claire down the path to find out that Holden and Audra accidentally killed that guy.

Kyle and Audra are playing cat-and-mouse games again. Claire just asked Kyle out to dinner. And he would be an absolute idiot to put that at risk by playing games with Audra, but I don’t think he can help himself. He was playing with fire before, and he may get burned again.

Cane gives Victor an answer to his ultimatum about the Lily threat. And Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) struggle is going to worsen. Plus, Billy goes to extremes to prove his love and commitment to Sally. He is trying to convince her that running Chancellor doesn’t mean he’s choosing it over her.

Finally, Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is going all out to impress Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) to convince her they should stay together, but I don’t think Noah’s going to win this one. Look for more from Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) by the way. I think he went out too fast and low-key for February sweeps. We’ve still not seen him in handcuffs getting Mirandized.

Is Sky Bri Druski’s Lil’ Yeah, Yeah?

Folks online have their eyes on Druski, wondering if a new bae just entered the chat. The comedian popped out with OnlyFans model Sky Bri, and they looked a lil’ cozy. Videos caught them sitting next to Spike Lee at a New York Knicks game, then photos showed them posing together, giving very much date night vibes. As of now, neither Druski or Sky has spoken on their status, but social media swears a baewatch might be brewing. But still a few internet detectives think their lil’ pop out could also be a skit stunt, with some folks betting Druski’s about to drop a video any minute now.

Social Media Jumps In With Side-Eyes, Jokes, & HOT Takes

After The Shade Room dropped the video and photos of Druski and Sky Bri, the comment section went OFF. Some folks said they think Druski was just trolling. Others gave him props, calling Bri a baddie and saying they actually think they make a good match.

From Rubi Rose To Sky Bri — The Tea On Druski’s Past Relationship

Before the internet had their eyes on Sky Bri, they were watching Rubi Rose heavy after her and Druski officially hard launched their relationship in April 2024. Videos and photos showed them on romantic yacht dates, tropical baecations, and even enjoying home cooked meals. But what fans thought would last didn’t — they called it quits in July 2024. Since then, they’ve been throwing lil’ jabs at each other online. Rubi ended up airing out their relationship on X (formerly Twitter) in September 2024, basically saying it was all a PR stunt, but Druski clapped back writing, “Never needed no PR” along with a laughing emoji.

As for where they stand now? Rubi made it clear she doesn’t want that old thang back. She told Kai Cenat and Kevin Hart during a stream with Druski in October 2025 that she didn’t miss him, but Dru think she only said that because she knew they were live.

Days of Our Lives spoilers for February 9th – 13th reveal Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) stuns somebody and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) is making a really big move.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we’ll dive into what is coming next week.

Phillip Stuns Gabi on Days of Our Lives

On Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) absolutely stunned by Philip Kiriakis. He may have a big romantic surprise up his sleeve. But will Gabi ever admit how she spied on Titan for Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis)? Or is Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) going to drop that bomb to mess things up since he’s crushing on her?

Over in Alamainia, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) get new info. Rafe found that tablet in Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel)’s house in Alamainia, and Eli and Rafe are going to grill Vivian. I suspect she might have meant for them to find it because it wasn’t well hidden, and she knew they were going to search. She seemed unconcerned about them searching, so she’s going to tell Eli and Rafe a very convincing story about that.

Vivian Targets Dimitri on DOOL

Vivian may be throwing Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) under the bus as part of her scheme with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) to take him down because, as we know, Vivian Alamain hates the von Leuschners and Gwen, in particular, hates Dimitri.

Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) tells Abe Carver (James Reynolds) that he is so sorry. He had no idea that Theo was going to be kidnapped. Liam, according to him, thought he was prepping that crypt for some kind of doomsday crisis, like a bomb shelter, by stocking up on food and water. I’m not sure Liam Selejko’s telling the whole truth, though.

Gabi Hernandez Mourns Stefan DiMera and Drama at Bayview

On Thursday, February 5th, we’ve got Rafe and Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes) comforting Gabi. It looks like Rafe and Eli leave Alamainia convinced that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) really is dead. If they tested the remains, it looks like they got a DNA match.

Of course, Gabi told Philip that she was over Stefan, but being confronted with the truth of his death is going to be something else because that was her guy. That was her person, and they really got cheated by Vivian.

Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) are playing nice over at Bayview in front of Dr. Gregory. Sophia’s going to write Holly a much nicer note this time that doesn’t say she hates her. Everything seems less contentious. Sophia may be playing nice so that her minders at Bayview will relax their guard and she can escape again.

Rafe Grills Kristen on Days

Rafe circles back around to question Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). And I wonder if it’ll be about what they found out in Alamainia about the CCTV on the crypt or if it’s about her working with him to take down EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Maybe a little bit of both. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) needs Tate Black (Leo Howard)’s help to get through to Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), and this could be about steering clear of Sophia Choi,

or it could be about what happened with Rachel in the judge’s chambers. We may just get a play-by-play after the fact to find out what happened and if she’s been sentenced to an indefinite stay in Bayview. Obviously, Kristen was thinking she could just bring her home, but I don’t think it’s going to go that way because we know that Alice Halsey has her last episodes coming soon because she has left Days of Our Lives.

Stefano DiMera Memorial and EJ DiMera’s Rise to Power

Friday, February 6th, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) wants EJ and Kristen to just tap the brakes and stop their bickering so they can have some family unity for just a moment—long enough to bury their dad, Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo). I guess they’re going to inter ashes, and we’ll see if they put him back in the crypt or if they’re going to do something else with him.

Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), Chad, EJ, Kristen, and Theo are all definitely on the lock for Stefano DiMera’s memorial at the DiMera mansion. We may also see Gwen there, along with Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow), Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), and Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk). I know Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) is supposed to be back this week, so she may be there, or they may just show up for the after-party.

Obviously, the family’s not partying, but I know Roman is probably ready to throw a big after-party. He and Marlena have a moment this week that upsets Kate. We also have Abe stunned by a request from Theo. I wonder if this has anything to do with Liam or Stefano’s memorial. Does Theo actually invite Abe? That is the last place he’d want to be.

EJ the DiMera Patriarch on DOOL?

At the memorial, EJ says that despite Stefano’s flaws, he did love them all. EJ promises they will not let the House of DiMera fall. It looks like Stefano’s infamous Phoenix ring may be going on EJ’s finger as he takes his place as the patriarch, even though he’s not the oldest. I think he’s the oldest biological child who is in the country and not on the run from the law.

Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) gets a warning from Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and it may be to not let Stefano’s death make him vulnerable to EJ. Plus, he’s telling Johnny that he’s excited that Chanel is carrying a DiMera, but it sounds like those are fighting words because Johnny says he already has a son who’s a DiMera. It would seem strange for EJ to not count Tate as a real DiMera when he considers Tony a brother and Kristen his sister.

Valentine’s Day Romance and Shocking Decisions in Salem

The week of February 9th through the 13th, we are deep into February sweeps. We’re going to see Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) soon decide something surprising about their nuptials. They put out the press release that they were going to elope, but it sounds like in the midst of all this drama with her stalker, Stephanie and Alex decide that they don’t want to wait. There’s no time like the present.

Speaking of romance, Brady and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) decide it’s game on. They’re going to be together and they’re going to date despite Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) not being happy and despite the Kristen and Rachel issues they know will come with this.

Gabi & Philip Head to Miami on Days of Our Lives

Gabi and Philip are going to be heading to Miami. That may be what Philip stunned Gabi with—a surprise getaway for Valentine’s Day. Speaking of V-Day, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) are celebrating their wedding anniversary. They’ve been married a few times, like a good soap couple.

Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) are still in Salem; they’re going to be reminiscing and romancing. Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Abe Carver celebrate Valentine’s Day, but this may be their last good time since Lexie Carver (Renee Jones) may be back from the dead soon, which could put a nail in the coffin of Paulina and Abe’s marriage.

Ari gets a kiss from hunky bad boy Liam soon, and I’m guessing that Gabi is really going to hate that. Doug Williams III was enough of a bad boy, but Liam seems worse. He has the extra baggage of the dead ex, the single dad stuff, and then he’s a criminal—an illiterate criminal. His reading is getting better, though, so at least Abe’s got that sorted out for him.

February Sweeps: The Stalker Strikes and Vivian Alamain’s Next Scheme

We’re also going to find out more about whether Vivian faked out Eli and Rafe with different remains. She might have had Jake DiMera (Jake Lambert)’s remains put in that coffin because, as twins, they would have both tested the same. We only have three episodes of Vivian and then we’re going to have her off-screen with one-sided phone calls with Gwen on the Dimitri scheme.

EJ’s having a struggle. There are just a lot of things going on in his life, and that makes him very vulnerable for Cat to swoop in, get close, try to get info, and plant a kiss on him. Watch for Stephanie, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu), Alex,  and Steve to launch their plan to trap the stalker, but he’s way ahead of them. Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is going to snatch Stephanie from the hospital, and I expect that’s coming during February sweeps.

Every child of the ’80s carries with them scars to this day. We watched Artax lose the will to live in the Swamp of Sorrow, half the Autobots blown up in the first 10 minutes of Transformers: The Movie, and Punky Brewster turning refrigerators into the scariest household appliance. Even the original 1983 G.I. Joe got in on the action with surprisingly dark episodes, including one in which a traitor is consumed by piranhas, but none hit as hard as “There’s No Place Like Springfield,” a two-part psychological horror focused on breaking Shipwreck, a fan favorite character, so that he’d give up the secret formula that turns water into an explosive. Cobra never did anything the way, so the master plan was to pay homage to the mind-bending sci-fi series The Prisoner. 

G.I. Joe’s Psychological Horror Season Finale

After the required bumper saying “G.I. Joe will return after these messages,” Shipwreck wakes up in a hospital and learns that his family was concerned about him. Not Uncle Al, but his wife (Mara, the Cobra operative spliced with fish DNA who previously fell in love with Shipwreck) and daughter, which is news to the career soldier who had given up on ever having a normal life. Haunted by nightmares, Shipwreck nonetheless falls into a routine with the family he always wanted in the idyllic town of Springfield. 

The two-part episode is the equivalent of a slow-burning episode for G.I. Joe, which normally wrapped up the entire story in 22-minutes with a massive gun battle. “There’s No Place Like Springfield” slowly peels back the curtain as Shipwreck realizes there’s something wrong with the town, and he uncovers the Cobra conspiracy behind it all. With the town burning down around him when the Joes arrive on a rescue mission, Shipwreck is confronted by Mara, the woman he loves, who’s still fighting for Cobra, and his daughter, armed with a rocket launcher.. Until they melt into goo. 

G.I. Joe was a very light-hearted children’s show designed to sell toys, which is why the sheer anguish in Shipwreck’s voice when he realizes that his family were synthoids is so haunting. He knows he’s been lied to by Cobra, he knows everything is fake, but in those final moments, he’s still hoping that it could be real. A glorified commercial wasn’t supposed to include deep themes about life, love, and trauma. All it needed was for the loved ones of a fan favorite character to start melting as he helplessly looked on. 

G.I. Joe’s Best Episode

“There’s No Place Like Springfield” clearly took cues from Patrick McGoohan’s psychological sci-fi drama by dropping the hero in the middle of a perfect town, where other residents use various methods, both overt and covert, to get information from him. Shipwreck’s house is also located at 6 Village Drive, an obvious homage to Number Six and The Village from The Prisoner. As a kid, it’s easy to miss references to a show from the 60s, even the large, white, gelatinous mass that attacks Shipwreck is a direct reference to The Village’s bouncy, balloon security device, Rover. All the kids cared about was that Shipwreck made it out alive. 

G.I. Joe ended Season 1 with the two-part psychological horror, but when Season 2 came around a year later, Shipwreck wasn’t shown dealing with the trauma; instead, he was reduced to comic relief. The addition of Sgt. Slaughter in Season 2 forced Season 1’s fan favorites to get less of the spotlight, but of all of them, Shipwreck deserved to remain a featured player, and he deserved to eventually settle down with the real Mara. 

Melting loved ones turned “There’s No Place Like Springfield” into a memorable G.I. Joe episode that’s remained at the top of fan favorite lists for decades. 80s kids were used to horrible, horrible things happening to their heroes ever since we watched E.T. get sick. There had to be a better way to introduce new toys than to kill off the old favorites.   

If you want to relive the 80s or check it out for the first time, G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero is currently streaming for free on Pluto TV.

Folks online have been breaking down their lil’ chat, and now comments are flying. One debate that’s really popping online is whether Evelyn overstepped her grandma role. Some social media users think she got a little too flirty with Game, but even with that others think he was definitely picking up on whatever she was trying to put down.

Did Grandma Evelyn Just Try To Run Game On The Game?

Okay, so BOOM! Clips from part two of The Game’s podcast interview with Shaniece Hairston and Evelyn Lozada is going viral. As if their first chat wasn’t enough, now folks are saying they should’ve kept the second part in the tuck or even at the dinner table. The rapper was cutting up with some of his answers to Evelyn’s questions. Some folks even thought their vibes were giving that’s really grandma’s baby than son-in-law. One particular clip that’s making rounds on TikTok shows Game giving Evelyn props for being one of the “best looking grandma’s on earth,” yes, the planet y’all! He even admitted that he’s always told her about “how good she looks at 50.” And of course Evelyn made sure to give him some compliments back crediting him for his intelligence. So.. who was really trying to run “game” here. We’ll let y’all be the judge, Roomies?!

Evelyn Spills On Lil’ Tiff Between Shaniece & The Game Over Their Child’s Name

Things got even messier online when social media users started accusing Evelyn of trying to embarrass Shaniece by spilling tea about her and Game arguing over their son’s name. During the interview, Evelyn recalled Shaniece getting upset after giving birth because she didn’t want their son’s name to be Blaze and even considered changing it. But what really got folks talking was Game admitting he goes tit for tat. The Compton emceee said he would’ve turned his petty up and hid his hands when it came to signing the passport for their son if Shaniece thought about switching up his name.

@rickybobby6025 I don’t think Shaniece expected her mom, Evelyne Lozada to release that information to the public😬😳 #thegame #evelynlozada #shaniecelozada #dropthelopodcast #babydaddy ♬ original sound – RickyBobby6025

Did Game Just Crash Shaniece’s Possible Happy Ending?

Evelyn didn’t stop at spilling tea — she came through asking some real hot questions too. She asked Game what he would do, hypothetically, if Shaniece started a whole new relationship and got married. He straight-up said that’s not happening, and he put the blame on himself. Game claimed any man trying to step to Shaniece would be shook at the thought of dealing with him since they share a child. Even with all of that, he said he has zero faith Shaniece would be walking down the aisle within a year anyway, because the dating stage usually lasts longer than that.

“Yes, you’re beautiful and yes, I want to be with you… I love you. But that thought process and that courting stage lasts longer than a year […] so it definitely won’t be next year.”
