Bitter Days

So I haven't been watching, and I haven't been reading my recaps lately. Could someone please tell what's the deal with the mummy?

How is it that Shawn still has a driver's license?!?!?!

I read from ONTD that the characters of Carrie and Austin are leaving. I already heard that Shawn, Mimi, Patrick, Jack, Jen, and Philip are leaving as well, but I'm not 100% on if the characters are leaving or just the actors. What potential storylines are there if all that happens?

And where the hell is Victor?

I really wish they would kill off Chelsea. I don't want her to leave the show where there will be opportunity for her to return, but I mean like dead dead, and not Dimera kind of dead.

I saw a commercial for Days for the first time in a long time over the weekend and didn't realize that I had fallen so far out of touch with the show. Austin is back? Carrie is too? Belle had a baby?? The hell? Before I would at least try to keep up with what was going on even though watching was torture (nuBelle was kind of the last straw - I love the fact that I started watching General Hospital and Kirsten Storms showed up there). So anyway, I'm wondering if anyone could give me a quick catch up of what has been going on.

The last I saw on the show Jack had just made his way back to Jennifer and Salem only to be taken hostage again. Then he was dying and trying to get that guy (who I only know as old AJ from General Hospital) to hook up with Jen so she wouldn't miss him as much.

Sean and Phillip had just escaped Tony and that guy the Sami was pretending to be. Belle was still wrestling with that whole stupid triangle.

Lucas had realized that Kate was the one who set up Sami but Sami was trying to hide her part in Tony's plan.

Nicole was trying to keep Brady away from Chole, who still didn't want to see Brady because of her scars. With this one I don't actually know what happened to Chole to scar her.

When did Carrie and Austin come back? And why the devil, after all she has done, would Austin go into business with her??

If there are other storylines you can remember that you can catch me up on, that would be great. There are a lot of other people I haven't asked about. It's amazing, I grew up watching this show and Reilly just killed the damn thing. I had been saying that at least if Carrie came back I would start watching again and I can't believe I missed it! Oh well, at least I'm recording it now.

Thanks in advance!!

OK, my fault for fast-forwarding, but did they ever reveal exactly what "condition" Jack has? And who is this Max guy? Is he an invented Brady family member, or was he really there and I just forgot him?

I still record DOOL every day. It has a happy little season pass on the Tivo. All I can say is...Thank God for the Fast Forward button. It all feels so old hat. I'm not feeling any drama. The love triangles are boring. The infidelity is boring. Even Tony was boring (and he used to get some of the best action). I know I can't expect fast paced storylines, I know there is a flashback quota that needs to be met...BUT...maybe they could throw us a twist. Like Phillip is a robot or something. That would explain a lot. Give them a hatch to blow open, something! The only thing I'm vaguely interested in is Jack and his potential medical condition (or whatever it is that Lexie keeps moaning about).
