We Have Seven Questions After Watching the June 20 Days of Our Lives

The Friday, June 20 episode of Days of Our Lives honored Juneteenth and graduated the high school crew. Sophia thought she was in labor. Chanel threatened EJ, and the secret Rachel's keeping continued to manifest itself physically. Meanwhile, Marlena struggled. Physically, she was okay. Psychologically, not so much. She has a devastating case of grief, and she may need to seek help to get her through this trying time.
What was the purpose of having Chanel (Raven Bowens) threaten EJ (Dan Feuerriegel)? He was already shot. It's looking like Johnny's relationship with his father is going to be the next hurdle for Chanel and Johnny (Carson Boatman) to jump. Well, that, and the fact that Johnny shot EJ, our next question.
Brady (Eric Martsolf) just came out and said it. Before, it was Rachel seeing Johnny and EJ fighting, and Johnny had a gun. Now, it's she saw Johnny shoot EJ…point blank. Poor Rachel (Alice Halsey) keeps getting sick over what she saw, and now she's with Marlena (Deidre Hall), and she might say something incriminating in her sleep. This is a strange way of solving an attempted murder mystery. What isn't strange is that EJ will do whatever it takes to keep Johnny from going to jail.
We get budget restrictions, logistics, and other limitations that soaps have to face. But we learned that EJ un-disappeared Rachel Blake (Roslyn Gentle). And thanks to Rita (Maggie Carney), the Woman in White is back at Aremid, never to step foot in Salem again. The extent of the graduation was the students decked in cap and gown, standing in a Salem High School hallway.
No stage for the students to walk. No speech for Salutatorian Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) to give. Same with Mayor Paulina's inspiring Juneteenth-related words to the graduates. We had to settle for Paulina (Jackée Harry) practicing her speech for Abe (James Reynolds).
Plus, we had to take Holly's word for it that both Eric (Greg Vaughan) and Nicole (Arianne Zucker) were out in the audience at the graduation. We should have at least seen Eric since he returned to Salem for John's funeral. Speaking of which…
We can see Eric not mentioning anything about what's going on with him because his latest visit was all about losing John, supporting Marlena, and marrying Andrew and Paul. But couldn't he have at least told Belle (Martha Madison) or Brady that he and Nicole were having problems? And why go there? If Eric and Nicole aren't in Salem, we want to think of them living their best soulmate lives in Paris with Jude.
First of all, she was the Salutatorian of her high school class. She would have picked a college by now. But is she serious about leaving Salem?
They are cutting it close with Tate (Leo Howard) and Sophia (Rachel Boyd). In Friday's episode, she simply had Braxton Hicks contractions. But her due date isn't that far away. Where is this going?
When Brady thanked Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) for all her help with Rachel and Sophia, we got a vibe. And Brady has been single for a while. Just wondering.

Seth MacFarlane Charts Higher Than Ever, With A Little Help From Frank Sinatra

Seth MacFarlane's Lush Life debuts at No. 17 on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, marking his ... More highest-ever showing and a top 10 launch on two jazz tallies. HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 20: Seth MacFarlane attends "Back from the Ink: Restored Animated Shorts" during the 2024 TCM Classic Film Festival at TCL Chinese Theatre on April 20, 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo byfor TCM) Seth MacFarlane is better known for his hugely successful TV career than his work in music, as series like Family Guy and American Dad rank among the longest-running in animated history. In addition to working daily as a titan of that industry, MacFarlane — who voices dozens of characters on his own programs — is also a prolific musician, known for his love of the Great American Songbook. He's already released more than half a dozen albums and scored multiple Grammy nominations in the traditional pop field, and this week, his latest full-length not only brings him back to the Billboard charts, but helps him reach a new career peak. Lush Life Earns Seth MacFarlane a New Bestseller Lush Life: The Lost Sinatra Arrangements debuts on a trio of Billboard charts in the United States this week. It opens inside the top 10 on two genre-specific rankings and comes in at No. 17 on the Top Album Sales tally. While that marks the title's lowest starting point on the charts, it's also a new best showing for MacFarlane. The comedian and crooner reaches the top 20 on the Top Album Sales chart for the very first time in his music career. Lush Life opens inside that area with a little more than 4,400 pure purchases during its first tracking frame (per Luminate). Seth MacFarlane's Previous Best Showing Before this frame, he had only cracked the top 40 once, more than a decade ago, when Holiday for Swing! opened and peaked at No. 38. Back when the Top Album Sales list featured far more than the 50 spaces it does today, Music Is Better Than Words spent a single turn at No. 111, and those are his only three placements on the tally. Seth MacFarlane's New Top 10s Lush Life is far more successful on two of Billboard's style-focused rankings. The collection, which sees MacFarlane recording music written for Frank Sinatra that the legend never got to make during his lifetime, launches at No. 3 on the Traditional Jazz Albums chart and No. 4 on the slightly broader Jazz Albums tally. He's now collected half a dozen top 10s on both of those rosters.

Brad Pitt on His New Style Change: ‘I Just Feel Like We've Gotta Have Fun'

Ahead of Brad Pitt's upcoming film F1: The Movie, the Hollywood star was spotted frequently with his girlfriend, Ines de Ramon. While the duo made plenty of headlines, the 61-year-old actor also drew attention for the major changes to his style. Pitt was spotted wearing some unique and, honestly, pretty fun attire at various points in recent weeks. This includes what looked like a blue velvet oversized jacket with baggy jeans, and also a tie-dye outfit, among other looks. Regardless of how people felt about Pitt's new look, he stuck with it while publicly donning the stylistic change, to his credit. During the New York City-based premiere of F1: The Movie, GQ's Sasha Faith Mutchnik asked Pitt about his new looks, and perfectly referenced it as the actor getting back to his Fight Club "Tyler Durden-era" a bit. Pitt smiled while addressing the looks and candidly responded on the topic. "I just feel like, we've gotta have fun, let's have fun," Pitt said. "There's so much turmoil in the world. Let's have fun when we can." It was a great response from Pitt, and a few of his looks can be seen in the video posted by GQ below. Fans loved Pitt's answer, and specifically referenced the Fight Club aspect of the question as well. "Fight club rules," said one fan. 'There's so much turmoil in the world. Let's have fun when we can. Well said BP," added another. "He is having fun with fashion, and I am enjoying it," replied another fan. "Tyler Durden era," responded another with the raising hands emoji. While the unique outfits had fans' attention recently, Pitt's response to them is hard not to respect. Pitt and fellow co-star Damson Idris star in the upcoming F1: The Movie, which officially premieres on June Pitt on His New Style Change: 'I Just Feel Like We've Gotta Have Fun' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 20, 2025
