Holly’s Overdose Is The Perfect Opportunity for This Days Of Our Lives Character to Return

Nicole resides each dad or mum’s worst nightmare.

Holly left for a New Year’s Eve celebration with Tate, sporting Nicole’s gown and an enormous smile on her face, solely for Nicole to obtain a name on Days of Our Lives in the course of the week of 1-04-24 that her daughter had overdosed and was hovering between life and loss of life.

It’s a robust, relatable story — however is Days of Our Lives lacking the chance to convey somebody again that might make the drama even stronger?

We suppose so. Days of Our Lives has already failed to tie the overdose drama to Theresa’s previous aside from acknowledging that she was an addict. 

But Theresa as soon as overdosed, leaving a teenage JJ to name on his worst enemy to assist save her life. Imagine the potential if JJ Deveraux got here again to Salem now!

JJ, Theresa, and Brady have a sophisticated historical past. Theresa blackmailed JJ into persevering with to get her medicine after the overdose, and Brady was busy relapsing himself on the time and used an opportunity run-in with JJ at a meetup spot to trigger bother and deflect suspicion off himself.

All of that historical past is related now. JJ’s presence might lend an additional layer to the drama, it doesn’t matter what aspect he took, as a result of it will convey again painful reminiscences for everybody.

And since JJ had grow to be an EMT earlier than he left Salem, if he had returned shortly earlier than this incident, he might have been known as to the scene to administer assist to Holly.

That would have put him able to defend Tate, which might have upped the drama for everybody. Brady would possibly respect the assistance whereas additionally worrying that JJ was attempting to make strikes on Theresa, and EJ would possibly attempt to discredit JJ so he can proceed his vendetta in opposition to Tate.

JJ additionally had a historical past with Nicole that was by no means absolutely acknowledged. She helped cowl for him when Theresa overdosed, and Daniel insisted on claiming to be the one who was along with her on the time.

It could be improbable to use that previous historical past now. JJ might attempt to intervene with EJ for Tate’s sake, reminding Nicole of that previous and attempting to persuade her that this was the same state of affairs or asking her to get EJ to again off.

He might additionally bump into the reality about Nicole’s child, which might give him an opportunity to repay her for that good deed she did for him. 

This twist might additionally require JJ to confront Leo or get data out of him, which may lead to some comedian reduction whereas transferring the story alongside.

JJ was at all times much better suited to being an investigative reporter than Abigail was. He had nice instincts, persistence, and no concern of breaking the principles or appearing impulsively to get what he needed.

Nowadays, we have now Everett in that function, however JJ’s unofficial investigation as an EMT-turned-detective would put him in the course of Chad and Everett’s battle.

Abigail was JJ’s sister, so Chad, in his grief, would possibly anticipate loyalty from him, main to dramatic confrontations if JJ struck up a friendship with Everett. 

Chad is presently working with Everett to discover the supply of the medicine, however many followers have speculated that Chad secretly hopes that Everett shall be harm or killed in order that he is out of Stephanie’s life.

Would Chad go that far? Hopefully not! But if he did have plans to remove his rival, JJ stumbling upon them would lead to compelling drama.

The greatest purpose for Days of Our Lives to convey JJ again is his historical past with Clyde Weston.

JJ labored undercover for the Salem PD after Roman recruited him to cease him from persevering with down a damaging path with alcohol after shedding Paige to Eve in 2015. That foolish setup might solely occur in Salem and led to JJ’s profession as a cop, which was a complete mismatch for his character.

But it additionally led JJ to singlehandedly take Clyde and his drug empire down. And now, Clyde is behind the drug dealing that led to Holly’s overdose.

That places JJ in a compelling place. He has the expertise and the historical past to work out Clyde’s involvement, however EJ desires to prosecute Tate for giving Holly the medicine, and Stefan and Ava are those doing Clyde’s bidding.

JJ would have to arise to probably the most highly effective individuals in Salem — and all of those individuals might both attempt to make him disappear or recruit him to do their soiled work for them.

Stefan is determined for somebody to take Clyde out for him, and he is as ruthless as they arrive. He’d do something to drive JJ to be the one to neutralize Clyde.

Plus, one of many individuals Clyde is threatening to maintain individuals in line is Tripp — JJ’s cousin who fought with him for Haley Chen’s coronary heart shortly earlier than her loss of life.

JJ working to shield Tripp would naturally lead him to work along with his Uncle Steve, with whom he by no means shared sufficient display time when he was in Salem.

And Steve and John working with JJ to unmask Clyde, shield Tripp, and cease the drug gross sales could be a much better use of their time than this foolish Konstantin story. So this could be a win throughout.
