Yes, Lani had put it out there that Eli was a fan of it. Was it needed, because yet again, they had let Stowers to be Stowers by playing up that Lamon Archey is a fan of Days Our Lives, so they had written for the character to bring up that the Eli persona was a fan of a fictional soap.
Don’t you think that it’s time for these actors to play the characters & not the actors, by giving into what’s written?
Like for instance, remember, Sonny did bring up that he always kept his business life & his love life separate & that he would never be willing to bring it into the office much less doing it on his business desk, now would he?, so wouldn’t it be out of his character to play it up that he was willing to do it? Think about it, has the character ever been self-sacrificial?
