In a Soap Opera Digest preview, Susan Seaforth Hayes described the transformation of the Horton House into “a sad heap.”
She, along with several generations of Hortons, had grown up in that house. Despite the destruction, it seems Tom Horton’s chair has survived, unlike the couch.
Julie was deeply saddened by the potential loss of years of personalized Christmas ornaments, a staple of the Horton family tradition.
This tradition, started by Tom and Alice Horton, has been a cherished part of the family’s history for many years, involving personalized ornaments that date back to the time of Julie’s mother, aunt, and uncles.
The structure of the house remains somewhat intact, allowing for Chad’s children to be present when John Black and Marlena Evans visit.
A photo preview hints at a playful moment between John and Thomas DiMera, suggesting Charlotte DiMera might be there as well.
Roman Brady and Kate Roberts Brady join the effort to rebuild, with Julie determined to restore the family home.
Leo Stark also offers his help, expressing interest in learning and possibly writing about the Horton family history for the Salem Spectator.
A mysterious vintage box, untouched by the fire and previously unseen by Julie, raises questions.
It’s unclear whether this box was known to Tom and Alice or left by prior owners of the house, with the show’s history mentioning Tom’s parents.
Bill and Adelaide Horton, and Alice’s parents, Sid and Abigail Greyson, without confirming if they were the original homeowners.
An episode features a recreated flashback of a young Tom Horton and Alice Greyson Horton having a picnic, adding intrigue about the box’s connection to the family’s history or Julie’s storytelling to Leo.
