Welcome to the Days of our Lives Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:
What happened on Days of our Lives

Chanel had the same reaction we did when EJ announced he was Johnny's lawyer. It doesn't matter that she made all the correct points about why this is absurd. Days of our Lives is still letting it happen with some very flimsy excuses. No, a judge would never sign off on the victim of an attempted murder defending the accused, especially when the accused is his own son. That is more insane than Belle getting herself back on the case so she can prosecute her own nephew. What kind of nonsense is this? Sure, it might add some heightened drama, but when it comes time for the trial, this is going to feel mighty ridiculous. Lovers Belle and EJ will be going against one another in court to defend and prosecute their own son and nephew, respectively. How is that even going to work? We have seen some bizarre court cases and legal conflicts of interest on soaps during our 40+ years watching, but this one takes the cake. Why would Johnny even allow this? How would this look right to a jury? This could have been a fascinating trial, but now it will be mired in this absurd lawyer situation. It frankly makes us not even care who shot EJ at this point. Yes, we are being picky, and we know this is not as much of a stretch as the devil jumping bodies for six months, but we still don't like it.
