NBC ‘Days Of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers reveal the controversial Devil storyline is officially over with. And while a lot of fans are cheering, we have to say we got a lot of enjoyment out of it. Let’s break down the strengths and weaknesses, and why we think one person in particular is the MVP of this whole thing.
NBC ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Nice twist
So, ‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers reveal this whole thing started with Doug Williams (Bill Hayes) having some difficulties. It seemed clear there were writing a dementia story for him, and we were preparing ourselves for the worst. After all, they’d recently had a similar plot on General Hospital. However, the DOOL threw a major curveball.
Doug wasn’t suffering dementia at all. He was possessed. And we have to say, Hayes killed it with the big reveal. We couldn’t help but enjoying every minute, because he looked like he was having so much fun playing something different. However, things took a downturn.
NBC ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: The weak link
We know, this might be controversial. After all, Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans) was the focus of the original story and she’s a huge part of the Days world. However, we’re going to go on record as saying her turn as the ultimate evil was not something we’d want to see again. Sure, she had some fun moments during her turn at the head of this story, but overall?
Well, we found her version of the character a bit too cheesy at times. And outright stupid at others. There was little attempt through most of her run as the possessed character to hide it. Over and all, the devil did things that were very un-Marlena like. Plus, she just didn’t give off as threatening a vibe as someone else.
NBC ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Getting better
As the story continued, ‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers reveal Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) took on the lead role in this story, and we felt he was much better at it. He also did more to hide what he really was than Marlena’s version, which made more sense.
Plus, when he was busted by someone, he had something in place to cover and put it on someone else. Another thing Marlena’s was lacking. Although, we do like the touch that each version has gotten smarter, as though learning from previous mistakes. But the best was yet to come.
NBC ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: The MVP
Our favorite in this story was Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold). With her version of the character, they used a slightly different voice that sounded much more threatening than the others and less over-the-top. Arnold brought a more subtle energy to the character that was also darker. Less camp, more serious threat. And we also thought her version of the character did the best job of hiding things. And the ending was perfect—Tripp Dalton (Lucas Adams) sacrificing himself to save Allie.
We also thought it was a nice touch that Tripp was the one who fought the evil the hardest. It didn’t take much effort for Tripp to get enough control to jump out the window and save Allie—not to mention the town. So, while there were definitely weak points and it went on a bit too long, we think they did right by the story in the end. Especially since the next generation was so involved.
