Our Days Take: Salemites Need to Be Smarter to Stay Alive

It was a real treat to see Hope visit Kayla today on Days of Our Lives, especially since the two characters have so much history together.

Hope alluded to that when she went all fan girl on Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), telling her how she hopes that the fact Steve has moved back in means that these longtime characters are finding their way back to each other. We were right there with you, Hope! These two have such a rich history together, and we can’t help rooting for them to get their act together. After all, a love like theirs doesn’t come around every day.

Keep Her Safe?
Hope, being a cop and all, is probably one of the few people Steve (Stephen Nichols) would trust to keep his beloved Sweetness safe when he’s not around, so it wasn’t a surprise that he used her visit as a chance to go run some much-needed errands for Kayla. He was barely a few steps out the door before both women heard a noise. Hope sprang into action, grabbing her gun, and looking somewhere to see if she saw something. We say somewhere, because it’s not clear what the heck Hope was doing besides looking like a sitting duck. All of the windows were covered with a sheer curtain, making it unbearably easy for the Terrible Trio to case the Johnson house.

Feeling Unsafe
For the window situation, we’ll blame Steve, since that’s how they were before Hope arrived. You’d think as a former ISA agent he would have pulled the curtains, making it harder for anyone to see inside. But we’re not letting Hope (Kristian Alfonso) off the hook either. She opened the door, saw someone had left a plant, and brought it inside — without locking the door! Come on, gang! At this point, I wouldn’t trust either to guard that plant, never mind Kayla!
