When the Days of Our Lives teen set began preparing for prom
in April, I was afraid that we were in for a Passions-like long celebration
(parties on Passions which were supposed to last one night on-screen were known
to stretch out for literally months of episodes). I feared it would go on
through June, which is when most real-life high-schools hold their proms.
Turns out all that worrying was for nothing. Prom Night in
Salem barely lasted a week. Ciara went with Theo, despite an earlier fight with
Mark. Mark rigged the King and Queen of the Prom voting so that Ciara and Theo
were named the winners then, when they went up to get their crowns, playing an
embarrassing slide show about the two (guess the prom-supply store was all out
of the traditional pig’s blood).
In retaliation, Ciara spray-painted Mark’s car. Except that
said car actually belonged to Mark’s dad, a judge, and Ciara, along with the
friends who helped her, were all arrested.
An eventful prom-night, but not really up there with the
daytime classics. (Heck, it’s not even up there with 2000 when Phillip – yes,
the one who’s now hooking up with Claire’s mom, Belle, took the school’s
official Ghoul Girl, Chloe, to the Last Blast Dance. Chloe arrived dressed to
the nines and looking fabulous, but that still didn’t stop her from almost
getting soaked by the traditional pig’s blood bucket. Luckily, Shawn – yes,
Claire’s dad – pulled her out of the way in time. Both Shawn and Belle were
also at the dance. Don’t ask how it was only 16 years ago and they were
childless teens, but now their daughter, Claire, is 17. It’s the magic of
SORAS!)
