Daily Soap Opera Spoilers by Soap Dirt (GH, Y&R, B&B, and DOOL)
Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Days of our Lives viewers are in for a refreshing change, as new co-head writers Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford bring their fresh perspective to the long-running soap opera. The duo, who took over from former head writer Ron Carlivati, are set to steer the storyline towards more emotional depth, beginning with the bonding moment between Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) over an upcoming adoption. In the coming months, viewers can anticipate the return of Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) and Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) and the poignant farewell of John Black (Drake Hogestyn). A notable transformation is also expected in EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), who is set to become a gentler and more reflective character. DOOL fans are also looking forward to a Halloween episode that advances the plot, fewer resurrections, and a stronger emphasis on family ties, such as the tender moments shared between Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) and JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss), and Maggie Horton's (Susanne Rogers) supportive gesture towards Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) on the NBC Peacock soap opera.

Please join us on patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this Reboot Republic, Rory dissects Budget 2025 with Michael Taft, economist , and Susanne Rogers of Social Justice Ireland and they find more tokenism than transformation, We discuss how the Budget was actually regressive - those on higher incomes gained more - it failed to take transformative action on housing, health or child poverty. Michael points to a broad public retrofitting scheme as one measure that would have used the billions for transformation. Rory is also joined by Mike Allen of Focus Ireland who highlights how shockingly there was not one mention of homelessness in the Budget, and no increase in funding for preventing homelessness. We also discuss the socially divisive narrative spread by the Taoiseach and others that are trying to deflect attention away from Government policy failure and blame immigrants and others vulnerable for homelessness. We always enjoy your feedback, and please share the podcast around. Thank you for listening.
