Days of Our Lives Revealed the Truth of Marlena as MarDevil This Week, but Sidelined the Sarah and Lani Storylines | Soaps.com - Soaps.com

It was a grim one for Salem though, as the devil wreaked a lot of havoc.

But while the week really moved the possession story forward, others remained completely sidelined.

Everyone finally knows Marlena is the devil.

I mean, did Shawn really try to arrest the devil?

So, Sami’s in the same boat as she was before, but from the looks of the winter promo, she’ll finally make contact with Lucas, who hopefully rushes off to save her.

In fact, it wouldn’t be surprising if viewers were confused by EJ calling Susan mother, considering this week was the first time they shared a scene since Dan Feuerriegel took over the role of Elvis Jr.

Have they even talked since last week.

Yes, there’s a lot going on in Salem right now, but it’s frustrating for storylines to keep getting pushed to the side, especially right after huge reveals.

Follow-ups to both events would have provided a nice balance to the MarDevil plot this week, especially considering a lot of fans are like Julie and saying, “Not today, Satan.”.

We did get some nice Paulina and Olivia, and Paulina and Chanel scenes though.

There’s just so much going on in the Days of Our Lives winter preview I could be here all day dissecting it

Especially since, in the promo, she asks Eric if he wants to make a sequel

Leave it to Days to ruin an incredibly exciting promo by making light of assault

As usual, these are just my opinions on the week in Salem
