Chelsea Can’t Shake Her Fear of Allison’s Return
Realizing it was the one-year anniversary of when Allison (Brianna Roberts) kidnapped her has seriously triggered Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla). She’s feeling all the emotions that she felt when it originally happened. It doesn’t help that she is suddenly getting phone calls from an unknown caller who hangs up seconds after she hears Chelsea’s voice.
On Tuesday, Chelsea projects her panic. This might mean she takes out her fear, anger, and frustration on someone in her life. Whoever gets the brunt of her emotional outbursts should understand why Chelsea’s acting out in this way. She needs comfort, support, and love right now. Hopefully, Allison is still in jail and unable to cause any further harm.
Heather Wallach, a Messer of Minds
One of Heather’s current reasons for visiting the DMV is to deal with her Smitty (Mike Manning) problem. The investigative reporter wasn’t satisfied with bringing down the plasma ring in the DMV.
He wants to topple the entire thing and discover the identity of The Impaler in the process. He’s determined and recently told Martin (Brandon Claybon) that he wanted to stick around town until he figures it out.
Needless to say, this isn’t good for Heather (Ashley Jones), considering she is The Impaler. Smitty’s successful series on the Red Market ring is a thorn in her side. There’s still too much attention on her criminal operation. So she has to do something. Heather decides to toy with Martin and Smitty. Exactly what will she do to mess with them?
Andre Once Again Faces the Demons of his Past
The other reason Heather is in town is to reconnect with Andre (Sean Freeman). They have history, some of it may be troublesome. But she knew the playboy, jet-setting, noncommittal Andre Richardson. This married, faithful version she’s conversing with now doesn’t make sense to her. In the end, it doesn’t matter. She wants something from Andre.
Heather probably wants that incriminating photo he took. Since Andre is, once again, confronting his past, maybe he will give Heather what she wants.
In Other DMV News
June (Jasmine Burke, a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee) bolsters Tyrell (Jaden Lucas Miller), who has been feeling down ever since Jessica (Camryn Jade) dumped him. Elsewhere, Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) is ready for a major overhaul. Does this mean she’s changing her look? Whatever’s going on here, it’ll be interesting to find out what inspires this drastic action.
Meanwhile, Randy (Maurice P. Kerry) has an intriguing update for Joey (Jon Lindstrom). His major task is tailing Heather. Maybe Randy lets him know about his sister’s interactions with Martin, Smitty, and/or Andre. This could be the exact information he needs to deal with Heather from a more knowledgeable position.
