Days of Our Lives exposes Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) is planning to leave Salem soon, but something is going to mess up his exit plans. It may be another stalker incident, and now I wonder if Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) is to blame and is doing a sketchy sort of frame job on him.

I want to dive into what’s behind Jeremy not being allowed to leave Salem when he really wants to and whether Liam is to blame because he’s a criminal for hire. We have a lot of ground to cover.

Liam Selejko’s Criminal Gigs and the Link to Stephanie Johnson’s Stalker on Days of Our Lives

Small-time thug Liam is picking up random criminal gigs. I don’t know if there’s an app like Crooks R Us or TaskRabbit for felons, but not only did the guy that Abe Carver (James Reynolds) is mentoring take money from Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier) to help Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) henchman Klaus move those supplies into the crypt, but the question is: could Liam also be taking pay and working for Stephanie Johnson‘s (Abigail Klein) stalker?

Liam obviously does whatever it takes, including criminal activity, to put food on the table for his young son, Gage Selejko (Jack Ferrero). We know that Liam was involved with Vivian’s goon, Klaus, because he described him to the cops. Liam only gave up that info because the cops traced Peter’s money back to him and he wanted to stay out of jail.

We all know that Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is the stalker who’s planning to take Stephanie. That was confirmed back in the winter promo. But there also seems to be some signs that Owen may have a co-conspirator or at least somebody doing dirty work for him.

The Mystery of the Black Hoodie in Horton Square on DOOL

Now, one option is that it is indeed Jeremy, but I feel like it’s not because of the frame job. We still haven’t seen for sure who was in that black hoodie taking video of Stephanie and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) in Horton Square. That could have been work done for hire by Liam.

It would make sense to hire somebody to take photos of Stephanie and Alex who wouldn’t be noticed. Liam is somebody that people are used to seeing around Salem, unlike Owen, who has been missing since an escape from a prison transport two decades ago on Days of our Lives. People would notice Owen, but they are used to seeing Liam.

We still don’t know much about Liam other than he’s been in and out of jail for various crimes. Many years ago, when he was in high school, he bullied Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson). Liam’s unusual last name, Selejko, ties him to some sketchy people from Salem’s distant past. Some of them were criminals as well.

Abe Carver’s Mentorship and Liam Selejko’s Desperate Motives on Days

Theo was upset when his dad, Abe, said that he would be mentoring Liam for that literacy program as part of his court-ordered rehabilitation. Liam told Abe he’s trying to turn his life around. But at the same time, Liam is a single dad who has to put food on the table to keep his kid in medicine, food, and school supplies.

He’ll take an easy buck where it is, and his only skills seem to be criminal ones. Liam tried to steal Cat Greene’s (AnnaLynne McCord) purse last year, and then he took money from Klaus via Peter. He then claimed to the cops that he had no idea there were going to be kidnapping victims in the crypt.

Liam claims he thought he was basically doing some kind of prepper thing. EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is furious because Vivian masterminded their kidnappings and she seems to be getting away with it because Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is trying to frame Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte). If EJ can’t punish Vivian, he may target Liam. EJ wants people involved in this to pay for trying to kill the DiMeras.

Potential Dangers for Liam Selejko from the DiMera Family and Beyond

Peter is dead and Vivian is out of his reach right now, but Liam is right there in Salem. Meanwhile, Liam may have another person that’s ready to take him down. Yvonne and Klaus are in Alamainia this week talking about tying up loose ends to keep Madame Vivian safe for her role in the DiMera kidnappings.

They may be figuring out what needs to be done, and those two may decide that Liam needs to go so he cannot keep talking to the cops. In the interim, we may find out that Liam’s been working with Owen.

Do you remember the time that Abe couldn’t be there for his tutoring session with Liam? I think it was when Theo was either kidnapped or in the hospital. Abe asked Jeremy to fill in for him. Jeremy showed up for Liam’s mentoring session and brought along his laptop for Liam to use to work on a resume.

Days of Our Lives: Did Liam Selejko Plant Evidence on Jeremy Horton’s Laptop?

Jeremy’s kindness might have been repaid with treachery. Liam was on Jeremy’s computer, so he could have planted evidence on the laptop to make Jeremy the scapegoat. This would ensure people won’t know that Liam is the true culprit.

Jeremy was in the dark about why they thought he owned the website dedicated to stalking Stephanie. Liam could have had the credit card info from Owen and taken that opportunity to use Jeremy’s computer. Liam may have been tasked with just buying the URL on someone’s laptop.

Maybe he got lucky with Jeremy, or maybe he was specifically targeting him. Up until now, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu), Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans), Stephanie, and her new husband, Alex, have all been 100% certain Jeremy’s the stalker.

Jeremy Horton Claims Innocence Despite His Toxic Past on DOOL

Jeremy insists he’s not guilty and thinks someone is setting him up, but only Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) actually believes him. It is possible Liam is taking money from Owen to lay this groundwork so that Owen can fly under the radar. If Liam is helping set up Jeremy, I’m sure Liam knows he’s doing a bad thing.

Now, Julie believes in Jeremy, but her track record on judgment isn’t perfect. She believed the best of Doug Williams III (Peyton Meyer), and that turned out badly. Julie also stuck up for Nick Fallon (Blake Berris), who was just very bad.

Jeremy claims even though he and Stephanie had a toxic relationship, he has changed. Jeremy went and got his teaching degree and seems well-respected at the elementary school. Other than the suspicions of Jada Hunter, Stephanie, Alex, and Steve, there’s no solid proof against Jeremy.

Is Stephanie Johnson’s Ego Clouding Her Judgment on Days?

They’re judging him on his past from many years ago when he and Stephanie had a troubled relationship. Jeremy is to blame for what he did back then, but that was a long time ago. When he first came back to Salem, he appealed to Stephanie to apologize.

From the get-go, she just assumed Jeremy was up to no good and was stalking her again. I kind of think there’s some ego around that for her to think that Jeremy is still obsessed with her after all this time.

Stephanie even thinks Jeremy hacked the Salem dating app to get a date with her bestie Jada. That seems like a big reach. Now that Stephanie and Alex are newly married, the stalker has that bug in the photo frame. He’s probably listening to them celebrating being husband and wife and honeymooning.

Owen Kent’s Plan to Kidnap Stephanie Escalates

It’s creepy, but Owen is a stalker after all, and he is another one who had a fixation on Stephanie. Her marrying Alex may force Owen to escalate the schedule of what he’s going to do. We know he’s going to kidnap Stephanie.

Owen may have been planning to snatch her before they elope, but then they snuck off and tied the knot. We could see Stephanie snatched very soon. When she’s taken, Alex assaults Jeremy, blaming him.

We know Stephanie is taken from the hospital. Then in the park, Steve grabs a guy in a dark hoodie, expecting to have grabbed Jeremy the kidnapper. But it’s Owen Kent—a blast from the past nobody was expecting.

The Final Twist and Jeremy Horton’s Delayed Exit from Salem on Days of Our Lives

In the end, we may find out Liam was helping Owen set up Jeremy. Michael Roark’s last air date as Jeremy is not until the end of April, so he can go ahead and pack his bags, but he is not leaving Salem just yet. I expect another stalkerish event points back to Jeremy, having the SPD demanding that he stay in Salem and doesn’t leave.

Karrueche Tran Shares Glimpse Of Her & Deion Sanders’ Valentine’s Day Date With

Last week, Deion Sanders sat down for an episode of ‘We Got Time Today’ alongside his co-host Rocsi Diaz. During their conversation, Diaz asked Sanders about his Valentine’s Day plans, and he referred to Karrueche Tran, whom he had on FaceTime. In a clip shared to the show’s Instagram, Tran explained that she and Sanders had a “cute little weekend planned.” This, per Tran, consisted of a jazz night, dinner, and a spa day.

Peep the clip below.

Then, over the weekend, Tran took to her Instagram Story to show that she and Sanders were at the spa, preparing to get facials. However, she was in disbelief at Sanders being “fully clothed under his robe.”

Internet Users Can’t Stop Crackin’ Up At One Thing

Social media users couldn’t stop crackin’ up at the footage of Deion Sanders fully clothed at the spa. Furthermore, they left their reactions in TSR’s comment section.

More On Karrueche Tran & Deion Sanders’ Valentine’s Day Date

In addition to showing their time at the spa, the couple also gave fans a look at their follow-up plans. On Monday, February 16, a video was uploaded to Sanders’ YouTube channel, which showed him and Tran on a train after their facial.

Around the 25-minute mark of the video, things got sentimental when Sanders opened up about cutting down on work and deciding to live more and “enjoy life.” Tran credited herself with helping Sanders make the adjustment, and ultimately, the pair ended up reflecting on her making the choice to stay by his side through his recent bladder cancer scare.

Devin Booker made it very clear that he didn’t watch Kendall Jenner‘s ex Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl halftime show.

Booker, 29, who previously dated Jenner, was asked about Bad Bunny’s performance after the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, February 15. The Phoenix Suns player went on to correct a reporter who asked “for the fans of Puerto Rico” how it “felt to be a part of” Bad Bunny’s milestone.

“I’m Mexican,” Booker noted. “I didn’t watch, to be completely honest.”

Super Bowl LX went down in history as Bad Bunny, 31, performed 11 songs — only in Spanish — during the Super Bowl on February 8. During the halftime show, Bad Bunny focused on celebrating Puerto Rican culture, which sparked backlash among some conservatives.

Kendall Jenner went through plenty of ups and downs in her relationship with Devin Booker. Jenner and Booker were first spotted on a double date — with other people — in May 2018. While the model was seeing Ben Simmons at the time, Booker was linked to Kylie Jenner’s then-best friend Jordyn Woods. Thank You! […]

Bad Bunny did receive support from his ex Jenner, 30, who was spotted cheering him on from the stands. Before her romance with Bad Bunny, Jenner dated Booker off and on from 2020 to 2022. Following their 2022 split, the pair reconciled several other times before officially calling it quits last year.

“They have been off and on for years now and have called it quits recently,” an insider told Us in June 2025. “It always comes down to them both being busy, navigating schedules and just not being on the same page. They have communication issues.”

Jenner started dating Bad Bunny in 2023 during one of her breaks from Booker. They broke up later that year but briefly got back together before parting ways in 2024.

Amid Jenner’s off and on romance with Bad Bunny, the musician appeared to take aim at Booker in his 2023 track “Coco Chanel.” He rapped that the “sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix” and “she knows it.”

In a now-deleted Instagram comment, Booker responded, “He worried about another MAN again.”

While Bad Bunny caught shade from Booker about his Super Bowl performance, he received praise from a multitude of celebrities — including Marc Anthony.

Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny sparked a brief romance following her split from Devin Booker. Jenner was seen with the rapper — whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — for the first time in February 2023 when they were photographed leaving Wally’s in Beverly Hills.  The following month, Jenner and Bad Bunny were […]

“It was a proud moment all the way around. Here’s a gentleman who is not only a great friend of mine, but I’ve known him since before he even started in music,” Anthony, 57, told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month. “Bad Bunny is proud of his culture, proud of everything that we as Puerto Ricans offer as a people.”

Lady Gaga, meanwhile, thanked Bad Bunny for including her in his special moment. (Pedro Pascal, Cardi B, Jessica Alba, Karol G, Young Miko and Cardi B were some of the other celebrities who made cameos during Bad Bunny’s performance.)

“Thank you Benito for including me in this powerful, important, and meaningful performance,” Gaga, 39, wrote via Instagram. “I am so humbled to be a part of this moment.”

The singer continued: “It’s all the more special because it was with you and your beautiful heart and music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ All my love to Benito, Ricky [Martin] and the whole cast.”

Stephen Colbert publicly called out his bosses at CBS for banning an upcoming interview from airing on his late-night show.

During the Monday, February 16, episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the host, 61, called out CBS and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr for not allowing him to speak with Texas State Representative James Talarico, a Democrat, as originally planned.

“You know who is not one of my guests tonight? That’s Texas State Representative James Talarico,” he said after introducing Jennifer Garner’s upcoming appearance on the show. “[James] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast.”

The comedian chose to address the issue live on his show, adding, “Then, I was told, in some uncertain terms, that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention me not having him on. And because my network clearly does not want us to talk about this … let’s talk about this.”

After speaking with his bosses, Colbert was told that the interview was scrapped due to new guidance from Carr. It was suggested that Colbert follow the “equal time” rule, which requires broadcasters to provide equal time to each political candidate running for office.

Colbert, meanwhile, pointed out that there have been exceptions for news and talk-show interviews with politicians.

“Well, FCC you,” Colbert fired back. “Let’s call this what it is: Donald Trump‘s administration wants to silence anyone who says anything bad about Trump on TV because all Trump does is watch TV. He’s like a toddler with too much screen time.”

Colbert went on to claim that he and fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel were the most affected after Kimmel’s show was temporarily suspended from ABC after his comments following the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

“I decided to take Brendan Carr’s advice,” Colbert said about his decision to still interview Talarico and post it on the Late Show YouTube channel. “The network says I can’t give you a URL or a QR code, but I promise you, if you go to our YouTube page, you [will] find it.”

CBS previously announced that The Late Show would end in May. CBS executives previously released a statement addressing their decision, claiming it was not “related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount” but was instead due to finances.

Colbert broke his silence about the shocking cancellation at the time.

“Before we start the show I want to let you know something that I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season,” he announced during a taping in July 2025 as the audience booed. “I share your feelings. It’s not just the end of our show, but it’s the end of The Late Show on CBS. I’m not being replaced. This is all just going away.”

He continued: “I do want to say that the folks at CBS have been great partners. … And I’m grateful to the audience, you, who have joined us every night, in here, out there and all around the world.”

Norm’s Diner. Los Angeles. 10:10 pm. A bearded man (Sam Rockwell), covered head-to-toe in a clear pancho and tangled with tubes, wires, motherboards, and a bomb detonator, stomps into the diner. He takes bites from a few unsuspecting people’s entrees before exclaiming, “I’m from the future, and everything is about to go horribly, horribly wrong!”

Claiming to have returned to this precise diner at this exact moment 117 times previously, this man from the future is looking for volunteers. Half of humanity perishes in the future, while the other half becomes hopelessly obsessed with their phones and social media. A.I. has finally taken over the world, and this man knows the secret to saving it, and it all has to be done on this very night.

“Like a choose-your-own-adventure book where all the options have been selected.”

With more than a little convincing, seven volunteers go on a mission to save humanity’s future. Some will knowingly not make it until the end of the night, but Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die dives into the backstory of a few of these diner patrons who no longer have anything to lose.

Mark (Michael Pena) and Janet (Zazie Beetz) are a romantic couple and both teachers, on the rocks. Mark is a substitute teacher who lands a job at the same school where Janet teaches. The problem is that teachers at this school keep disappearing while the students never get off their phones. Mark questions this and accidentally touches one of the students’ phones, which doesn’t end well for anyone.

Susan (Juno Temple) is the mother of a high school student named Darren (Riccardo Drayton). Darren dies unexpectedly after falling victim to a mass shooting, and Ingrid’s life loses all meaning. She’s introduced to a store that clones mass shooting victims, but the clone’s flaws keep their nearly flawless physical appearance from feeling authentic.

Ingrid (Haley Lu Richardson) has lived her whole life with an allergy to wifi and cell phones. Doctors said it wasn’t a real disease, but she gets nosebleeds and can’t function properly whenever she’s around technology or basically goes anywhere outside of the house. Ingrid met a pizza delivery driver named Tim (Tom Taylor), who didn’t believe in using cell phones or having any attachment to technology. The two moved in together and lived a frugal yet content life until one day, when a VR headset was left on their doorstep for Tim. Tim becomes so obsessed with virtual reality that he prefers it to this one, even though the so-called love of his life isn’t in it.

“A.I. is inescapable, and humanity’s only choice is to try to cater to its good side.”

Gore Verbinski has never shied away from going super weird in his previous films, but Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die takes the bizarre cake. The film is defined as a sci-fi action-adventure comedy, but its humor is perhaps the most unusual aspect. The film’s grasp of how social media and A.I. have a death grip on society is terrifying, given how much we rely on and are addicted to them today. There’s a dark, erratic tone to the film’s comedy that is amusing because it comes off as almost genuine. The biggest takeaway is that A.I. is inescapable, and humanity’s only choice is to try to cater to its good side.

Sam Rockwell has the commanding presence of a man who partially gives a shit. He intends to save everyone he can, but the people in this diner are expendable. If it doesn’t work out, he’s the only one who can hit the reset button and start over. So some of his actions may seem cruel on the surface, but he also knows everyone at this point almost as well as they know themselves. Rockwell is as scene-stealing as ever here, but half of his charm is how he bounces off the rest of the talented and mesmerizing ensemble.

It’s also interesting to witness how every volunteer reacts to the upcoming apocalypse. Mark and Janet are filled with panic, an Uber driver named Scott (Asim Chaudhry) doubts that this “Man from the Future” and anything he says is actually true, a scoutmaster named Bob (Daniel Barnett) volunteers solely with the intention of being a hero, Ingrid has a strange sense of acceptance, and Susan is cooperative but has an ulterior motive.

Even the characters that die along the way are a form of loss. Sam Rockwell’s “Man from the Future” is shoehorned into this representation of hope. He wants to save humanity, but he also wants to get to the point where he doesn’t have to repeat this night again for the 118th time and beyond. He watches everyone die, and everything crumbles around him. This is purgatory for him; he is basically Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. He is a symbol of hope, but also broken in his own way. Panic, doubt, heroism, acceptance, conniving, loss, and hope; it’s like the seven stages of grief but somehow more futile.

“Worth seeing for its exceptional performances, its catawampus narrative, and its hopelessly hopeless take on a dystopian future.”

The story takes wildly peculiar turns, even for a film where the future is determined, but how it gets there is a question mark. There is a CGI creature buried within the second half of the film that has an absolutely gonzo design and also puts full-frontal nudity to insane use. The movie’s nonlinear storytelling is all over the place, but where the film takes the audience isn’t entirely unexpected. Visually, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is a bananas smorgasbord and a shotgun blast to the face of craziness. But narratively, it feels like the film is deeper or more unique than it actually is.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is like a choose-your-own-adventure book where all the options have been selected, and all the different scenarios are playing out at once in the same timeline. The film is worth seeing for its exceptional performances, its catawampus narrative, and its hopelessly hopeless take on a dystopian future. The lack of actual laughs and the inability to fully satisfy what it introduces are what hinder Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die from being a pure, unhinged masterpiece.

GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE REVIEW SCORE

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is now playing in theaters.

What are all the hot moms in Hollywood wearing? Well, we can tell you that Jennifer Lopez knows how to make a simple outfit formula appear high fashion. The megastar just rocked a pair of wide-leg jeans that are flattering on practically any body type. So, we found a similar pair on Amazon, which means you can build a similar outfit sooner rather than later.

Lopez wore her relaxed jeans with a belt, a button-up shirt tucked in and a blazer to top it off. She was in ultimate mom mode as she held hands with her child in Los Angeles, so you know this is a mothering-friendly outfit. The Cicy Bell Wide-Leg Baggy Jeans have a very similar look and cost under $50, which is probably much cheaper than the brand Lopez is wearing.

Get the Cicy Bell Wide-Leg Baggy Jeans for $47 (originally $60) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.

Lopez isn’t the only famous mom rocking the wide-leg baggy look. Nicole Kidman took the cool-girl jean style on a trip to Chile. She actually styled it similarly to Lopez, even with a brown blazer that looks the same.

We turn to Jennifer Lopez for fashion inspiration almost daily, and she never disappoints. When she’s not performing in a sassy jumpsuit or attending red carpet events in an elegant ball gown, she’s owning sporty-chic street style. Our recent favorite Lopez outfit? Her baggy jeans look that proves loose clothing can be more flattering than […]

Available in sizes 2 to 18, the Cicy Bell jeans are made of 100% cotton. They come in various washes, including black and white, but we like the blue shade for a classic denim look. To ensure you’re balancing your ensemble, try pairing the flowy bottoms with a more fitted top for a polished result.

Whether you shop online or in store, finding the right-fitting pair of jeans can be difficult. But the relaxed style of these Cicy Bell jeans has surprised many shoppers.

“I rarely purchase jeans or pants online, but I’m so glad I took the chance with these! Bottom line: They are now my favorite jeans, and I will be purchasing another pair,” a verified purchaser wrote.

“Fabulous jeans. They don’t lose their shape and make my butt look great! They are just a tiny bit big, but overall, so happy with the purchase! It’s a great length, too,” one five-star reviewer said.

You’ll never regret adding a quality, flattering pair of jeans to your closet. And if Lopez and Kidman approve of the style, it’s a no-lose situation.
