Dilemmas, Dilemmas: Should Shawn And Belle Return to Days of Our Lives?

Shawn and Belle returned for John and Marlena’s (almost) wedding – and got to watch their daughter being dragged away by an unhinged psychopath for their trouble – but should they stick around Days of Our Lives for a longer spell?

Here’s how almost 19,000 fans voted on the potential resettling.

Stay… Just a Little Bit Longer
Yes, of course, 73% insist. So many people need you. Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan), for one thing, is definitely showing signs of not getting enough parental attention and guidance. Did you know she voted to live with a serial killer? You do now!

And Marlena (Deidre Hall) needs you. Just how many times is a woman supposed to get shot and recover without her youngest daughter by her side?

And, Shawn (Brandon Beemer), dude, we’ve been trying to spare you but, your mom? Hope (Kristian Alfonso) has gone off the deep end, obsessing about Ben (Robert Scott Wilson), the serial killer living with your daughter… and possibly dating your sister. She needs someone to either talk her down or help her nail Ben for good!

Keep Your Distance
Nah, a contrary 26% counter, we’re good. Feel free to stay in Hong Kong. We bet Belle (Martha Madison) is raking in major bucks representing all those rich people.

You’d only be in the way in Salem. You’d cramp Claire’s style. You’d remind viewers that Hope is a grandmother already. And, oh, yeah, your only story would be breaking up again, and who wants to see that?

Other than playing cops and lawyers, it’s inevitable that one of you would cheat on the other. You’ve already done that, but at least it was off-screen.

Soap opera supercouples should ride off into the sunset and let us imagine your happily ever after. Coming back to Salem would only ruin the fantasy.
