Hey Days of Our Lives fans! Disaster strikes this week in the form of poisoned cupcakes and leaked scripts. There are three potential culprits I suspect: Xander Cook, Hattie Adams, Gabby Hernandez—or possibly a combination of them.
It’s Belinda from Soap Dirt, and we’re diving into who’s behind these sneaky acts of sabotage. Are the cupcake poisoning and script leaks related or just coincidental? Let’s find out!
A Cupcake Catastrophe
Salem is reeling from the latest poisoned treat debacle. Remember the biscuit incident that led to chaos, including Nicole Walker ending up pregnant with little Jude Brady? Now, Ron Carlivati seems to be recycling that plot with a new twist.
The drugged biscuits from before were tied to Jada Hunter’s twisted sister, Talia Hunter, acting under orders from Colin Bedford Peterson. He was targeting Chanel’s bakery out of revenge. But this time, Chanel herself appears to be an intended victim, ruling her out as a suspect.
- Victims and Survivors:
- Johnny ate a poisoned cupcake, stressed between his wife and one-night stand.
- Abe Carver ate one at Paulina’s insistence.
- Roman Brady almost bit into Kate’s cupcake at the pub.
- EJ DiMera was saved by Paulina, who slapped the cupcake out of his hand.
- Bonnie Kiriakis wisely tossed hers and Alex’s in the trash—though Alex later retrieved his, Seinfeld-style.
Interestingly, it seems only men have eaten the cupcakes so far, as all the women avoided them.
Who’s to Blame for the Cupcake Chaos?
The prime suspect is Hattie Adams, furious about the death of her character and holding a grudge against the soap’s cast and crew.
However, another possible culprit is Xander Cook. Recently, Xander threatened Kate, angry she wouldn’t rein in Philip. He’s been known to go to extremes, so delivering poisoned cupcakes as a warning shot is not out of character.
Leaked Scripts: Another Sabotage?
As if poisoned cupcakes weren’t enough, leaked scripts have also disrupted the production. The key suspects overlap with the cupcake case:
- Xander Cook:
- With his history at the Salem Spectator, Xander has the technical knowledge to leak scripts.
- He could’ve stolen them from Leo’s laptop and set them to auto-publish as Lady Whistleblower.
- Gabby Hernandez:
- Gabby might have leaked the scripts to sabotage Javi’s relationship with Leo.
- She’s tech-savvy and could’ve borrowed Chad’s laptop to upload the scripts.
- Hattie Adams:
- While an obvious choice, her motive aligns more with the cupcakes than the scripts.
Unanswered Questions
Are the poisoned cupcakes and leaked scripts connected, or are they separate schemes?
- One may aim to sabotage the show, while the other targets relationships.
- Will these culprits be unmasked, or are there more twists ahead?
