Days of Our Lives just dropped not just one, but two mysteries on our hands. And while at first they may seem fairly innocuous, they could be the beginning of the end of Body and Soul and the first couple volleys in a return set to redeem a character with a very troubled past! Yes, that’s right, poisoned cupcakes could actually be a good thing!
Everyone figures Hattie poisoned the cupcakes as part of her revenge curse. And Leo assumes Javi is the one that swiped his scripts to restart Lady Whistleblower as a soap spoiler.
But we all know that the obvious suspects are never the ones to do the actual crime.A
If Hattie didn’t do send the cupcakes and Jada’s sister isn’t back, intent on unleashing Tainted Biscuits 2: Poisoned Cupcake Boogaloo (Kayla’s incredulous reaction to the possibility of tainted baked goods again said it all), we may have to think outside the box a bit.
Add in Lady Whistleblower’s spoiler and we’ve So who would be out to tank the soap and spoil all of Leo’s secrets?
She could spill Leo’s ideas before they happened and screw up his ability to write. And using Lady Whistleblower, she could destroy his fallback career at the same time. Add in the poison cupcakes scaring off the cast and crew and Body and Soul could be in dire straits.
Granted, Gwen, according to Soap Opera Digest, won’t be back until the summer, but we doubt what just happened would cancel Body and Soul right away.
Her delayed return would just give her more time to keep chipping away at it and Leo behind the scenes until the whole thing falls apart.
How perfect would it be if no one but the viewers ever find out who really brought Body and Soul down? If she comes back and the folks in Salem know she’s the one who tanked the production, she’d be right back to a pariah, unwelcome by pretty much anyone.
Plus, she sent Roman to the hospital and poisoned Abe and Alex. No one died, but it’s better if she kept this to herself.
Normally viewers are clamoring for misdeeds to get exposed and bad guys to get their comeuppance…
But we have a feeling that if Gwen brings the whole Body and Soul house of cards crumbling down, this is one secret that folks would be OK with staying buried.
We know Body and Soul’s cancellation is coming, and we don’t know that a ton of folks will mourn it. And if Gwen ends up being the one to end it, she could earn some goodwill with the viewers.
Onscreen, she could work to redeem herself in the eyes of everyone in Salem, while offscreen, she’d already have done that quite a bit with fans.
