On the August 11 episode of Days of our Lives, Leo lectured Gwen and Dimitri on what a love triangle is. Any self-respecting soap fan knows what a love triangle is. But have you ever seen a love sextuple? Is DAYS about to go where no soap has gone before?
Key Takeaways
- Jada is living with Shawn.
- Shawn still has feelings for Belle.
- Belle is dating Chad.
- Chad still has feelings for Cat.
- Cat is working for EJ.
- Belle doesn’t like that Cat is working for EJ.
Starting Here, Starting Now
Jada (Elia Cantu) was giddy to tell Stephanie (Abigail Klein) that Shawn (Brandon Beemer) was now living in Jada’s bedroom. We think this couple is absolutely adorable together. But that doesn’t mean we fully believe that Shawn is completely over Belle (Martha Madison).
Sure, Belle was making plans to go to Italy with Chad (Billy Flynn). But did you see how she reacted when she heard that Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) was taking care of a sick EJ (Dan Feuerriegel, who said this about his co-star)?
The Middle Ground
Chad thought Belle was reacting the way she did because she believed Chad still had feelings for Cat. He swore he was totally over the woman he only stopped dating because his son and in-laws threw tantrums. Then they kissed.
But we saw less of Belle caring about Chad’s feelings for Cat and more of her own repressed feelings for EJ. We realize Chad is too self-involved to imagine a woman might actually still care about his brother rather than being jealous of him and his ex. But we’re not.
Endgame
Like Leo (Greg Rikaart) said, any soap watcher knows what a love triangle is. We’ve seen an endless number of those. A love hexagon is something different. You don’t see a lot of those. And if that’s where DAYS is going, then we are excited to follow. Math is fun!
