31 - Girl with Two Strands of Hair Seems Duplicitous (Season 61 Episode 32)

Have you ever met an 18-year-old girl with those two strands of hair framing her face and thought... is she being duplicitous right now? Odds are, the answer is yes. This week, Ben Tracy joins Olivia to talk Salem's drama from this DOOL episode that aired in early October 2025. Johnny & Chanel are reeling from receiving a "ridiculously risque" picture from Holly of all people, Holly's reeling from surviving a blackout (alcohol-induced), a blackout (electrical failure), and a dorm fire (her fault). Ari's over the drama and is ready to flirt it up with Theo, whose trauma is coming back in a major way upon return to Salem. And speaking of trauma, JJ is questioning whether he has the moral fortitude to police without discriminatory bias. TW: police brutality (this show has range) And it all wraps up with a shocking twist about the paternity of Salem's most popular baby, Tesoro!  Follow the podcast on Instagram: @soarethedayspodcast Follow Olivia on Tik Tok: @days_of_our_liv Do you have some real-life drama that could rival a soap opera plotline??
