It's B&S day. A day filled with blah, blah, blah.

Replay of Leo seeing Joy in Horton Town Square. He tells her he's giving her rewrites so she won't have to work with Chanel. Joy says he heard. He says yes. Joy is afraid it will end up in Lady Whistleblower's column. Leo says no. She gets up to leave. Leo goes other way and bumps into Javi. Leo wishes him a Happy New Year and starts talking about himself.

Stephanie's reading Lady Whistleblower on her tablet. She reads about Alex and Joy ringing in the New Year together. It mentions her name and how she feels about it. Knock on the door. It's Abe. He needs something done with the menace.

Bonnie's reading her tablet in the K-Mansion den. Lady W calls B&S "The Bland and the Talentless". Lady W talks about Bonnie's acting. It mentions Bonnie should stick to marrying wealthy men for their money. She wants to go after Lady W. Hattie walks in.

Replay of Chanel walking into the B&S office. Chanel tells Johnny that she quits. Johnny says but she loves her job. She says she used to, but not now. She's done with the show and him. Chanel says she talked to Joy and she no longer wants to be on the show. She used to love acting, but now she wants to go back to her first love.

Stephanie and Abe read the rest of Lady W's column. Lady W puts down Abe. Then says he bought the show because of his vanity project for him and Kate. Abe wants Stephanie to shut down Lady W's column.

Leo tells Javi he's upset that Lady W talked about them. Now his job is in jeopardy. Leo knows someone is out to get him.

Hattie tells Bonnie the was door unlocked and she walked into mansion. She's there to apologize.

Joy's in pub looking at her phone. Alex walks in. He gets his order and sits down with her. He reads the column. He likes how he's described as "sex on a stick". Joy says she talked to Chanel earlier.

Johnny says "first love"? She says Sweet Bits. Johnny's surprised since he went down the wrong road. Chanel reminds him Allie has a boyfriend. Chanel says at Sweet Bits she won't have to look at him. Johnny says she can't quit the show or him.

Abe and Stephanie discuss finding out who Lady W is. Abe's going to the office and hopes there are no other problems (haha). He leaves and Stephanie wonders how to solve the problem? She knows how to do it.

Bonnie wants to know why Hattie wants to apologize? Nope, she's not Lady W and she didn't taint the cupcakes. Hattie wants to apologize since she tried to get Bonnie fired.

Leo and Javi waste time talking about Lady W. They discuss Rafe trying to find out who it is. Leo keeps apologizing for accusing Javi for being Lady W. Leo brings up Kerry. Javi says Kerry's out of town visiting family. They discuss New Year's Eve. Javi talked about not having a friend so he came home early. Leo says he can be his friend.

Stephanie is at the Horton house with Chad. Chad says the kids are packing (should be unpacking), but probably looking at all their souvenirs. Stephanie wants to know who Lady W is before B&S cancelled.

Alex says Chanel is upset, but give it time and it will get better. Joy doesn't think so. Alex worries Joy will quit the show. Joy says she's not doing that. Alex reminds Joy to forgive herself and start fresh. Joy says she's not hating herself.

Johnny tells Chanel to think about it more. Abe walks in. Chanel's glad to see him. She's quitting B&S immediately. Abe says she's not.

Hattie and Bonnie talk about how Hattie wanted to be the top diva. They discuss how they miss each other. Hattie says Bonnie is a star on the show. Bonnie forgives Hattie. They hug.

Abe is about to blow his top when he tells Chanel she can't leave the show since she has a contract. He calms down and says she's half of their popular couple. Chanel says to recast and gives an example. Abe says it doesn't happen these days (excuse me, Chanel was a recast). Abe mentions Soap Twitter and people ripping the show to sheds. (someone needs to read what the Days viewers think about today's show). They mention Lady W. Johnny says he'll quit his job and she can stay.

Chad can't tell Stephanie who Lady W is because he doesn't know. He doesn't approve what Lady W is doing with spoilers and cast members, but he can't censor it. Chad backs his columnist. Stephanie asks about his friends.

Javi agrees to be Leo's friend. They shake hands. Kerry comes up behind them. Javi lets go of Leo's hand, and kisses Kerry. Kerry is jealous of Leo since Javi didn't see his text. They talk a while. Javi and Kerry go to Rafe's house. Javi has to shower and will make them lunch. He calls Leo a friend as they walk away.

Bonnie tells Hattie they need to talk to Leo to get her back on the show. Hattie says she's dead. Bonnie says it's a soap opera and no one stays dead. Hattie replies "nobody stays dead in Salem, unless they do". Bonnie explains how Charlemagne could be alive. They agree today's a good day to resurrect her.

Chad and Stephanie discuss Lady W and having privacy, not knowing who the person is. Stephanie finally says why Lady W isn't using their real name? Chad says he will help her.

Abe, Johnny and Chanel continue to discuss who's quitting <yawn>. Chanel mentions if Johnny quits, Joy will still be there. She says he can keep his job. She's done with B&S and she walks out the door.

Javi and Kerry arrive at Rafe's house. Javi wants to know what Kerry wants to eat. Kerry is upset and asks why he wants to be friends with Leo? Javi says it's a new year and everyone needs a 2nd chance.

Leo's in his hotel room writing. Knock on the door. It's Bonnie and Hattie. They tell Leo they made up. Bonnie says they want Charlemagne back on the show. Leo says he's not the only one who makes decisions. He takes out big book wrapped in pink. It's the B&S story bible. Hattie has to swear she's not Lady W. Leo is satisfied. He says with Abe and Kate's approval she's back on the show. Everyone is happy and they hug.

Alex is happy Joy is staying. She goes to her room to study her lines. Alex grabs his bag to leave. Chanel walks in. She's crying. Alex apologizes for not telling her about Johnny and Joy because he didn't want her to get hurt. Chanel says it's over with Johnny. She quit B&S. She's going to miss the show. He hugs her as she cries.

Johnny and Abe discuss Chanel leaving. Abe's worried what Lady W will say. He hopes Stephanie finds out who Lady W is before the show fades to black.

Chad's is on his laptop. He finds out Lady W has checks made to a corporation. Chad has the routing number to a bank. Stephanie looks it up. It's going to a bank in Rochester, NY.

Javi wants to stop talking about Leo. He says he's taking a shower and then will make lunch. Then Javi wants to know about Kerry's trip to Rochester see his family. (oh my). Javi leaves the room. Kerry pulls out his phone. He starts his new column. He writes he hopes everyone loved the gossip about B&S and says he's just getting started.
 
Summary's up earlier than usual as I didn't walk early since it's too cold. Don't expect the summary early every week. :)

So, Kerry is Lady Whistleblower. Is someone working for him or are people sending him information?

Rafe did a bad job finding out who Lady W is since Chad figured out where the money went and found out where the bank is.
 
Chanel says to recast and gives an example. Abe says it doesn't happen these days
Chanel's example was kind of funny. She said she was watching one of Big Mama's soaps and a woman went in for a hug and the next day it was a different actress. Then Abe said they don't do recasts like that anymore.
Chanel reminds him Allie has a boyfriend.
Well, we know Allie's still with her boyfriend.
Bonnie explains how Charlemagne could be alive.
Bonnie mentioned Seth's character of Dr. Blake Lamoray today. It would've been great if the show could've gotten Matt LeBlanc (Joey from Friends) to make a cameo on Days as Dr. Drake Ramoray.
 
It mentions Bonnie should stick to marrying wealthy men for their money.
Just-revealed Lady Whistleblower Kerry just zoomed up to the top of my "favorite characters" list. But, how he did the feat of getting spoilers out of Leo's head will forever remain a mystery. (I have no confidence the writers will cover the plot holes.)

Chanel talking about recasts when she's the only recast active on the show today besides Chad was a choice. (I guess Hattie is, too, but we'll let her off on a technicality.) It would be like Johnny complaining about rapidly aging kids on soaps. Funny the first 100 times B&S went there, but now tiresome.
 
What a fantastic show.... I think Ron should be rehired and these amazing story lines should continue. I'm on the edge of my seat and actively anticipating each new day, to the point of setting my alarm for 3 am when they are first posted to peacock. Oh, the thrill of the opening scene, Mac's voice over the hour glass....

HB here.... robin's cold meds have altered her sense of reality.....
 
Thanks for the summary.

Kerry being Lady W is not a surprise at all. Did he also poison the cupcakes? I just want this reveal to come out quickly so we get it over with.

The rest of the episode was a total disaster. This writing is just terrible. Really, there was nothing to draw the viewers in, or keep them watching.
 
Groveling was the order of the day as the pathetic Johnny once again failed to convince the awful Chanel to come back to him. (He should count his blessings and move on.) Elsewhere, Leo did a little groveling of his own in a failed effort to win back the useless Javi.

Elsewhere, angry Abe shouldn’t be so upset about the loss of the venomous Chanel. He might just find that her absence means a spike in the ratings.

Finally, hairy Kerry isn’t exactly anyone’s top candidate to be the new, nastier Lady Whistleblower. He doesn’t look as if he could put two sentences together much less write a coherent column. That said, if his snark manages to kill off the wretched B&S, all will be forgiven.
