Johnny’s trial began on the July 24 episode of Days of our Lives. Johnny is nervous, Chanel is supportive, Abe is distracted, Paulina is determined, Rachel is cranky, and Marlena is unwell. But the only thing that matters in the end is EJ and Belle. And we are here for it!
In a Galaxy Far, Far Away
There is no universe where the victim of an attempted murder trial can also be the defense attorney, especially when the defendant is his son, and the prosecutor is the defendant’s aunt. Belle (Martha Madison) did tell EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) that they have to play it cool during the trial, for the sake of not raising any eyebrows.
EJ raised his eyebrow and made a couple of suggestive remarks to Belle, which caused her to smile, but then quickly say, “No, no, we can’t. It would be wrong.” She’s right. No judge would allow it. But we allow it. And here’s why.
What Have We Here?
We allow EJ and Belle anything—anything they want because they are currently the hottest, and most interesting couple in Salem. Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) and Xander (Paul Telfer) are on the outs.
Javi (Al Calderon) and Leo (Greg Rikaart) want us to believe they are ready for a happy family ever after when they’ve practically just met. Tate (Leo Howard) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) have been apart longer than they’ve been together.
Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) only reunited because he’s in trouble. Really, Belle and EJ are all we’ve got. And they’re worth it.
Going On
EJ and Belle are sexy. They’re funny. They have passion and they have humor. Most importantly, they bring out the best in each other, which means the good, sweet, and caring in EJ, and the playful, strong, and confident in Belle. That’s worth ignoring all sorts of legal nonsense for.
