38 minutes. Not much happening. Johnny, Alex and Abe were the only ones shown eating cupcakes. Roman's about to dine on Kate's cupcake. Joy didn't get one. If you don't want to watch, that's the cupcake story. The rest is pure filler.

EJ enjoying a cupcake, someone sent cupcakes. The show will drop on the streaming service around 10 am. (Because everything happens at the wee hours of 10am, in Salem) Johnny is still mopey about sleeping around because of course, that’s the adult way to react when you think your spouse has harmed you.

Kate and Joy meet at the Pub, and talk about Body and Soulless. Joy is excited for the dark day. Kate pries on Joy finding friends. She's happy for Joy to start finding friends. Kate receives a cupcake.

Paulina gives Abe a cupcake. The card isn’t signed, and it’s not from Sweet Bits.

Bonnie arrives to a shirtless Alex’s house with two boxes of cupcakes. They talk about Sarah and her issues. Bonnie thinks the cuppie cakes came from Johnny. She goes on and on about sweet eats.

Leo and Javi in bed wake up. Javi speaks to Leo in Spanish, then they translate. It’s adult talk for this show, close to smutty. They shut down the Small Bar, then continued drinking in the room. They figure round two would do.

Alex and Bonnie figure it’s not Leo who sent the cupcakes. Who sends who sends cupcakes anonymously?

Kate wants to call Abe to see who sent them. I’d dying to find out.

Roman grills Joy about her room and how well Johnny treats her.

EJ tells Johnny it’s fine to cheat on your wife, if you think she did it first. More idiotic conversation about this. Chanel walks in to hear that she doesn’t need to know about any of this. EJ covers about a discussion with Paulina. EJ leaves. Johnny thanks her for the cupcakes. Chanel didn’t make the cupcakes, she knows nothing about the cupcakes.

Kate's on the phone with Abe, they discuss who sent the cupcakes. Abe invites Kate and Roman to watch the show.

Leo asks Javi to stay for breakfast, and watch the show. Gabi has been hounding Javi to do stuff. More smutty talk. Javi will call in sick and watch the show with Leo.

Bonnie thinks the cupcakes are poisoned. She thinks Hattie did it, Hattie was part of the BS family. Bonnie tosses the cuppie cakes.

Roman and Kate have arrived with champagne. Abe eats his cupcake, it’s sublime. Paulina, Roman and Kate watch. Abe eats the cake with no guilt.

Leo gets his room service which comes with a cupcake. Javi asks about the show? It’s been on for 59 years has 4 main families and friends. Leo then shows Javi the laptop that contains the next 3 months of the show written out. Javi thinks if that gets out, the fans will be thrilled. Leo then says that no, they’d lose interest because they’d know what’s coming. Leo signed an NDA, swore on the lives of his unborn children, to not disclose what’s in the computer. They end up in bed, because of course.

Johnny is being Johnny, silly about having Joy come over to watch the show. Johnny wants Chanel to uninvite Joy. EJ brings Joy in.

Bonnie wants something festive to celebrate this watch party. Alex has peanuts and oat milk. Bonnie suggests inviting Stephanie.

The couch is full Chanel, Johnny and Joy. EJ takes Chanel's cupcake as she doesn’t want sweets due to love scenes. Johnny dives into his cupcake.

Abe isn’t eating, he has butterflies. Paulina blah blah blahs. Roman talks about the jobs and new industry they created for the town. The group has several toasts.

Leo is fully dressed in Lord knows what. Javi is nekkid under the bed. Abe does the intro speech ala MacDonald Carey (Tom Horton).

Bonnie and Alex have finished with the show. They discuss how great Bonnie was. Bonnie thinks Alex is the entire package. She goes home to learn her lines; she’s going to walk home.

Roman loved the show. Paulina is impressed with Chanel. She wants to binge watch, but can’t, she’ll have to wait till tomorrow.

Chanel and Johnny and Joy discuss the show. Joy asks about Charlemagne. She hasn’t met her. Johnny tells Joy about how Hattie went full crazy about being fired. How Hattie has cursed the show. Joy has some lines to learn and she needs to hit up her mom, then leaves. Chanel thinks Joy was acting weird. She asks Johnny to go check on Joy.

Javi loved the show, he thinks Leo is a genius. Javi has to leave before Death by Cousin. They both feel each other, they’ve never felt this way before. They kiss and Javi leaves.

Joy and Johnny have a whisper argument in the entryway.

EJ goes to eat the cupcake, Paulina hits him and he drops the cupcake. She's upset that Johnny called Chanel a bad word. Why would Paulina take this to EJ?

Chanel is checking her scenes for the next day. They are weeks ahead and Arrow is covering up a crime committed in he first scene, if only they had talked it out.

Alex does push ups and then fishes the cupcakes out of the trash and eats them.

Roman's at the pub and eats Kate’s cupcake.

Abe's on the phone with someone getting wonderful news. The network didn’t pass any information about numbers but they are quite pleased. Kate says so much for the curse of Hattie Adams, Abe barfs.

Bonnie shows up at Leo’s. Leo brings up a page and Lady Whistleblower is back, only it’s not Leo.
 
Did the cupcakes have these stickers on the boxes? :rotfl:

Someone should be able to ID the delivery person.

I think Javier got into Leo's computer. Should have been password protected, he is far too trusting.

So did Hattie send them or maybe Connie, maybe someone who hated the show and was glad it was gone, maybe a disgruntled member of the original cast?

Thanks so much, Robin!

Leo was in the bathroom when Javi was on his laptop, and he said he was queuing up Body & Soul. But what else did he see? Does he even know about Lady Whistleblower?

Javi did not really seem like he thought much of the show and was sparing Leo's feelings by pretending he loved it. Just my two cents.

Once again, Leo might have fallen for the wrong person. But this is TBD.

My money is on Hattie. I think she sent the cupcakes and is trying to get Leo into hot water with vicious gossip. But what she really know? She could not know about Johnny and Joy, or could she somehow? That immediately sprung to mind.

Well, Bonnie had the Salem Brain today, considering that Hattie poisoned the treats, but Alex did not, eating the cupcake, anyway.

As soon as others become ill, after Abe did, they will, hopefully, figure out the common denominator being the cupcakes. Some were spared, as they chose not to eat one now, and EJ was spared by Paulina. Too bad Paulina urged Abe to eat one.

Any Salemite should know to not eat anything unless they know where it came from. Though everyone knew the Sweet Bits biscuits were Chanel's and look at that mess!
 
Thanks JS! On that note, I think it could be Whitley, who sent the cupcakes. Also, I meant to mention, that I think Lady W, could be Javi. He was on Leo's computer while Leo was in the bathroom, but that could be what they want us to think, could be Whitley as well writing the article.

Hattie is the clear suspect. She is probably the new Lady W too, although Leo will assume it is Javi.
I wonder if someone else did the cupcakes, since they suspect Hattie already.

Her betraying Leo would make some sense, or perhaps it could be Dimitri or Nicole or someone off-screen? I assume you assume correctly.
Connie is in Bayview so I doubt she has the means
Clyde was in supermax and ran several drug rings, so I'd put nothing past the writers.
 
Were the writers so aware of how bad the B&S premiere episode would be that they added the poisoned cupcakes plot to breathe some life into it?

On other fronts:

— Leo can do way better than scruffy Javier;
— foolish Joy can leave town and Chloe can return. Shaggy Phil would love it:
— EJ could have been blunter about cheating. EJ: “Cheating on your spouse is really no big deal. It happens all the time. I cheated on Samanther. Even the sainted Caroline cheated on old Dad Brady.”
 
Thanks, robin.

It's a new day in Salem.

Interesting tidbit about the soap opera. Leo said it's been on 59 years. Really, the same as Days.

Did Javi become Lady W?

Did Hattie send the cupcakes since Bonnie remembered Hattie put a curse on the show?

How many scripts did Hattie read before she was fired? Could she be Lady W?

I like Johnny's new hairdo. I'm glad he didn't get it cut like EJ and Chad.

Will Chanel find out about Johnny and Joy before or after Christmas?
 
EJ: “Cheating on your spouse is really no big deal. It happens all the time. I cheated on Samanther. Even the sainted Caroline cheated on old Dad Brady.”
"And Samanther cheated on me. And of course, as your mum reminds you twice per year, your grandmother ruined your mum's life by cheating with John Black."

It's weird to me that everyone had time to mill around instead of being back at work on the show. 5 episodes a week means 5 work days, usually.

I was thinking Talia might be back.

:wine:
 
They did just mention her!

Isn't it funny - or is it sad - that the soap opera can't even get production details about soap operas correct? From what we've seen, Chanel should be in makeup by 6AM, run lines, dress, tech, tape, retakes. Not to mention set changes or location changes. Taping a 30 min comedy show takes 4-6 hours. Even without retakes or jokes, every show minute takes ~6-10 minutes to get there. Even if they skip the tech rehearsal and tape once.

Honestly everyone who's on- or off-screen- at Body & Soul should be off-screen constantly - doing reshoots or location shoots (since they tape in what - 3 locations? At least?). Doing rewrites or working on tomorrow's script (Leo, Kate, Abe). Working on blocking (Johnny), scheduling/arranging the locations/cameras (Kate, Abe). And so forth!

Offscreen soap only? I think the viewers would like that.
