Lucas Horton Salem's Biggest Jerk?

When did Lucas become the designated salem jerk? 

He's a homophobe and an insensitve jack-***. 

I'm not a big Jennifer fan, she's such a cream puff, but who is Lucas to judge her on moving on? 

And this personal vendetta against Dr. Dan? I think someone is still bitter that his wife chose the good Doctor over himself. 

What gets me most is the way he goes on and on about what Daniel did to her. She cheated on the man, lied to him for months, tried to pass another man's baby off as his, completely broke his heart... but HE hurt her??? 

C'mon! 

Did Lucas fall off the wagon? It would be the only logical explanation for all of this irrational behavior...

Can Will Go Through With Gaby's Plan

So if you've been following the insanity in Salem, you know that Gaby is pregnant.

You also know that Will is the father of that child but has decided to go along with Nick's insane plan to pass the baby off as his own.  Will Salemites ever learn?  Will himself keeps saying this is a bad idea, that his own mother did that with him and it was a disaster.  Yet he's saying he'll do it.

Obviously this poorly laid plan will blow up in everyone's faces, and I for one am dying to see Sami's face when she realizes she's going to be or already is a grandmother.  Depending of course on how long it take for the truth to be revealed.  I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later as the storyline is kind of dumb.

Also, have you been following this whole Kristen Dimera storyline?  This affair between her and Brady is wrong on so many levels.  Not the least of which: she used to be his mommy!!!

Is anyone else icked out by this?  What is it with Brady and his romantic choices anyway?

Grandma Sami?

It's been too long since I posted, the daily dish is turning into the monthly dish... I will endeavour to do better!

Lot's has been going on in the past two weeks, and it's all pretty exciting!

From DOOL FB Page

Gabby is pregnant, and Sami was there with her when she found out.  What Sami doesn't know is that the baby is Will's.  I wonder how she'd feel about being called Grandma? 

(As an aside, what the heck is wrong with Sami's hair in the past two episodes?  Is the hairstylist on vacation?  Maybe on crack?)

Anyway, I digress.

So Sami being Sami, she couldn'y keep the secret, and she told Rafe about the pregnancy today.  I actually laughed out loud at the face he made after Sami finally spilled the beans.  

I love it when sh*t hits the fan on Days, don't you?

True to herself, Sami also managed to spill Gaby's secret to her new boyfriend, Nick.  His face was priceless too, considering he assumes it's his... Wonder what face he'll make when he finds out it's not?

I've got to hand it to Days of Our Lives writers and producers, they have been pushing the envelope lately, and I think it's really cool that the show seems to be evolving with the times.  Adding gay characters, the love scene between Sunny and Will, and now this pregnancy story line.

Gaby has decided that she wants an abortion, but we still don't know if that's going to happen.  

At the end of today's show, Will was still trying to put enough money together to pay for it.  He also spoke about the money before noticing his dad standing right there.

Now Lucas has questions, and Sami, Rafe & Nick will be desperately trying to find Gaby... I don't know if the abortion will actually take place, but I'm hoping it doesn't, because it would make for some great writing down the line...

What I really can't wait to see it the look on Sami's face when she finds out the baby is Will's!!! 

From DOOL FB Page

Ooh! ooh!  I was forgetting all about Kristen.  We got our first bit of proof that Marlena's paranoia is justified today!!!  After John got angry at his precious Doc for erasing Kristen's messages informing him of Brady's attack, Marlena went off on Kristen, calling her a conniving bitch.  John didn't like this and came to Kristen's defense, only getting angrier with the usually saintly Marlena.

When Kristen found Marlena alone a little later in the episode, she walked up behind her and told her, in a hushed tone: "I'm only going to say one more thing: Thank you."  Then she smiled and walked away...

That conniving bitch, what has she got planned now?!  LOL

Have you been enjoying these story lines as much as I have?

Nicole Walker Loses Her Baby on Days of Our Lives

Well it's happened again. Nicole has lost the baby.


I for one am very upset about this twist of events. How many times are we going to have to watch this poor woman lose a baby?

It was gut wrenching when she found out two days before that he was dead at the ultra sound.

Leave it to ever crafty Nicole though, blinded by grief, has managed to get Jennifer Horton arrested for the murder of her unborn child.

Diabolical or genius? Meh, a little of both I think.

What gets me about this storyline is that the baby was already dead, how can the doctors not have seen this in her medical file? Can't wait to see what happens next with Jen...

I'm not sure what EJ's evil plan is, but he has finally gotten Nicole to reveal the truth to him, and he recorded it. Now he vows to make Rafe pay for what he's done... Like he hasn't done enough to Rafe already.

Also not sure how Sami will feel when she finds out the truth. You'd think she'd be overjoyed to find out Rafe didn't sleep with her arch-enemy, but I suspect she will be angry that he lied.

Stay tuned!

Much love,
Felicia

EJ Blackmails Rafe To Win Sami

We've been watching Sami play Russian Roulette with the men in her life for a little while now...

Lucas got shot first, and now our last two contenders have entered a fight to the death, with an actual fist fight between Rafe and EJ.

Seems EJ has found a way to keep Rafe at arms length, at least for the time being, by blackmailing him.

Once a Dimera, always a Dimera I suppose.

It's disappointing to me, because EJ is so charming and he and Sami are so hot together. I keep rooting for him to actually turn a new page, and he always has to go and muck it up. Boo.

What's he blackmailing him with?

He's promised to keep his brother Chad from testifying against Rafe's little sister in exchange for Rafe giving up on Sami. (Cause you know, psycho Barbie almost caused Melanie's death.)

Clearly, this plan will blow up in EJ's face at some point, perhaps as he's about to say his I do's with his darling Samantha.

Then Sami and Rafe can finally be together... Until Sami screws up again or Carrie comes back to town anyway.

The scene after Sami left Rafe's apartment was just m.
In a fit of rage, Rafe threw a bottle of beer at the wall in his living room.

Wait what???

Who throws a bottle of beer clear across their own living room?!
I don't care how mad you are, do you have any idea how long it would take to get the stench of beer out of that apartment?

That's just sautéed in wrong sauce.

Much love,
Felicia

EJ And Rafe Have A Street Fight Over Sami

So I'm watching Days of Our Lives today, and Rafe and EJ are arguing as usual. The object of their argument? None other than Sami Brady of course.

Suddenly, EJ head butts Rafe right in the head! Head butts him! Of course, Rafe goes ballistics and a good old fist fight ensues, right there in Salem's town square.

EJ the ex-mayor and Rafe, the detective, going at it old style. Two men who are well into their thirties, fighting over a girl. Just shameful.

The funniest part was watching John and Brady stand back and enjoy the show as EJ was getting his ass handed to him. You really shouldn't start fights you can't finish, Dimera. It's really bad for your rep as a big bad guy. No wonder he hires out for all his heavy hitting.

Who do you think Sami should choose? More importantly, who do you think she will choose?


Much love,
Felicia

Stefano Dimera is Alive!

When the episode ended yesterday, Ian was about to pull back a curtain to reveal what he had that would make EJ want to help him.
I was certain that he would have kidnapped the children, but we saw Johnny in the very first scene today.
Cut to EJ and Ian: he pulls back the curtain, and there sits... Stefano Dimera, alive and well!




Ah you, Days of Our Lives writers, you got us good, now didn't you?
Not really though, we all knew he would be back!
What's with the Hannibal Lecter mask though? Did Stefano recently become a cannibal?
All this because Ian was after that damn half coin. I was over that thing ten minutes after they showed it the first time... Do we really have to do this again?

Turns out, the letter from Alice Horton was a fake, and Ian is the one who made it seem like EJ was not a Dimera. What a relief it will be to him that the Phoenix's blood does run through his veins after all!

How long will EJ be stuck? Will Sami think he abandoned her? Is this a second chance for Sami and Rafe? I hope not. I've said this before, but I really think Sami and EJ are hot hot hot together!
Much love,
Felicia

Reunited in Salem

Ah... Wasn't it sweet to watch all of the reunions going on in Salem yesterday?


First, Melanie and Chad (didn't Gaby just look thrilled). Then Melanie and Daniel (I cried, but then I'm a big suck).

Daniel found Nicole in the town square, and Bo arrived just in time with the meds so that dr D could stop her labor pains and save the baby (thank heavens).

But the big news of the day... EJ and Sami locked in a passionate embrace! EJ said something to the effect that they'd been resisting each other for too long, and that he gives up. I'm sorry but their chemistry is palpable, and they are HOT together.


Much love,
Felicia

Ian McAllister Killed Stefano Dimera on Days of Our Lives!

There's so much going on in Salem!

It seemed clear that today's post should be titled "2 dead, several injured in Salem explosion", but that breaking news was blown out of the water when Ian announced to Kate that he is the one who murdered Stefano Dimera!

Of course, the episode ended at that point and we'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear more.  I'd just like to point out that I singled him out as my prime suspect from the get go.  This isn't my first who-dun-it in Salem, and it probably won't be my last!

Now EJ, Sami and Will just need to find proof so they can clear EJ's name.  Will Kate help her former step-son?  This is far from over, and odds are the truth won't be revealed until EJ's about to get fried.  It happened to John, and to Sami... I can't think of anyone else, can you?

In other news...

The Salem explosion has claimed two lives so far:  Brady Black's fiancee, Madison, and Jack Deveraux, husband to Jennifer and father to Abigail and JJ, whom we haven't seen in years.  Could his fathers death be what brings him back to Salem?  We'll just have to wait and see.

The scene after the elevator Jack was in plummeted was quite touching, my eyes teared up as Abigail screamed out in pure anguish.  The acting has actually been quite impressive this week.

Brady is still in the tunnels with Melanie, so he has no idea his beloved Madison is gone forever.  On what was suppose to be their wedding day, I don't know how Brady will survive.  Let's hope he doesn't turn back to drugs.

He and Mel finally broke through the wall that had them trapped at the end of the episode, just as Chad and Gaby showed up.  Melanie and Brady were hugging, and Chad just looked jealous.  It was actually kind of weird.  Why in the world would he be jealous?  She's just gone through a terrible ordeal, and she was hugging her friend.

Probably will turn out to be nothing, when the scene starts again I'm sure Chad will be thrilled to find his darling Melanie.

Can't wait to see Gaby squirm when the questions start!

Olympics Finally Ending, Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Programming

Finally!

Only two more days to go until Days of Our Lives is back on the air!

This time has made me feel bad for Another World and General Hospital fans. It's only been two weeks, and I am in serious withdrawal.

Dying to find out who makes it and who's mangled!

And watch Gaby squirm when the truth is revealed!

What are you most looking forward to?

Much love,
Felicia

Days of Our Lives Interrupted By The Summer Olympics

Stupid summer Olympics.

Just as things are getting good, in come the Summer Olympics, and Days of Our Lives will not be seen for two straight weeks!  Two weeks!

I've always hated the Olympics for messing with my TV programming, but I honestly don't remember DOOL being interrupted for more than a few days at a time.

This is almost like a season finale, and the writers sure decided to treat it as such.

Friday's episode was action packed, with more happening in a single episode than often happens over the course of a month!

Of course, the huge explosion at the very end of the episode, which showed half of Salem blowing up is the major story.  Will Sami survive the fall from the warehouse balcony?  Will Dr. Dan be okay after being smashed to bits by the world's biggest chandelier?  What about Abby plummeting to her premature death in an elevator?  Will Nicole's baby be OK?  It better be.  I can't stand to see this poor woman lose another child!

How will those in the tunnels fair?  The explosion happened moments after Brady found Melanie, and he through himself on her, forming a human shield around her, but what will happen to him?

And what of Gaby, Chad and her lunatic stalker for hire Andrew, who seemed to be at the epicenter of the explosion?

In the real world, it's unlikely that any of these people would survive, but this is Days of Our Lives, and I highly doubt half the cast is leaving the show on the same day.  I could scour the internet for spoilers, checking out who's contract is up and such, but I don't like knowing what's going to happen in advance.

Half the fun is trying to predict where things are going, and congratulating yourself on being so astute when you happen to get it right!

Once the dust settles and we figure out who made it, who died and who's in the hospital, there will still be many other issues to deal with.

Who is trying to frame EJ Dimera for Stefano's murder?  I was thinking Ian McAllister, but I'm starting to have a sneaking suspicion that maybe, just maybe... it's Stefano himself.  You heard it here first.

In the mean time, how much trouble will Sami be in over trying to help EJ escape, so he can "clear his name?"  Well, this was one heck of a genius plan, now wasn't it?  (She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.)

I am excited to see that it seems like this means the end of the dull-as-a-doorknob relationship between Lucas and Sami, and that this should mean she'll soon be back with EJ where she belongs.

Oh and oh what fun we'll have when the sh*t finally hits the fan for Gaby?!  I know Melanie's supposed to leave the show, but I really hope it won't be in a body bag, because I'd really like to see the scene when she finds out what her alleged friend did just to get her hands on Chad.

Can you say C-R-A-Z-Y?

Anyway, it will be a whole two weeks before me know anything... Boo.  Oh well, it will give me a chance to catch up on the close to 100 hours of TV I have waiting on the PVR!

I guess to the stars and staff of Days of Our Lives... Enjoy your vacation!

Did EJ Really Kill Stefano Dimera?

So the polygraph yesterday revealed that EJ was lying when he said he didn't kill his father, which Roman assumed means he is Salem's latest murderer.

However, we saw the guy who administered the test receive an envelope with a ton of cash in it, so it seems to me that there's no reason to believe EJ murdered his ex-father.

Who would pay him off to make EJ look bad? Who has access to that kind of cash?

An anonymous commentator suggested that perhaps Ian McAllister killed Stefano Dimera, and that he is EJ's real father.

Well, he certainly had the means. I like him as the potential murderer, but dang, I hope he's not poor EJ's father. The guy's even eviler* than Stefano... How unlucky can one guy be?

Speaking of Evil Ian, I really don't like this character. At least Stefano was a lovable villain. This guy just makes my skin crawl.

Who do you think did it?

*eviler: of the Stevenson dictionary, refers to being more evil than.

Alexandra Carver Dies

I haven't posted in a few days because I've been kind of bored with the show, but today's episode was packed with action.

Abe and Lexie sat in their garden reminiscing, with Alexandra looking weaker than ever. While I had been fast forwarding most of the mushy scenes with her, I had a feeling she might die today, so I watched the scenes.

She died at peace and happy in her husbands arms, and it was a very sad and touching scene when Abe realized that she was gone.

On the plus side, after the funeral is over, we should be done with the incessant crying!!!

Also on today's episode, Melanie Layton was kidnapped by Gaby's stalker-for-hire.

Where do you find those anyway? Stalkers'R'us?

I had read that she would be leaving the show, but I sure hope they don't kill her off, she's grown on me since joining the cast a few years ago.

Plus, Nick is suppose to be back soon, so I would have liked to see how that reunion would go down!!!

Poor Chad was beside himself when he received an email that was seemingly sent by Melanie letting him know that she can't forgive him and is leaving for Europe... Will anyone even really know to look for her?  Surely her father, Dr. Daniel will know something's up and ring some alarms.  Well hopefully anyway.

They kept focusing on Gaby's evil eyes, so it seems she was in on the plan. This girl needs some serious help, she is completely off her rocker!  Wait until Rafe finds out what she's done... Little girl, you got some serious explaining to do. 


It may take a while, but this is Salem, everything comes out eventually.

Did Will Horton Really Kill Stefano?

No, probably not.

On today's episode, the investigation continued, and when EJ bailed young William out, he raised all kinds of questions with Rafe and Roman.

Could this be a conspiracy? Why would he bail out the person suspected of his fathers murder?

I'd like to know that too, actually. What fresh hell has EJ got in store for him now?

One noteworthy moment was Marlena looking pensively through the window.

"It's like Stefano's still here. He's torturing us from the other side, just like he did in life." or something along those lines. Then she proceeded to say that he would never go away...

Salem haunted by Stefano Dimera's ghost? Heaven help us, I hope not!

Will Horton Arrested For Dimera Murder

Today on Days, Will was arrested for the murder of Stefano Dimera when tests showed that he did have gun powder residue on his hands, proving that he has recently shot a firearm.

Roman said he'd been the only suspect to test positive, but that's bizarre, since EJ had discharged a weapon on the walls of the Dimera mansion earlier the night of the killing...

???

I don't think it's either of them, that would be too easy. I'm telling you, it's not one of the obvious suspects.

Our killer used gloves, stands to reason his or her fingerprints aren't necessarily on the gun.

In other news, Alexandra still isn't dead. And while she may be a great actress, I might kill myself if these dang crying scenes don't end!!!

And that's the dish on DOOL for today!

Gucci Tastes On A Walmart Budget

I love fashion.  Always have, always will.

Not normally one to get caught up in brands, one that has always been a favorite is Gucci.  I'd love to own one of their handbags, but couldn't possibly afford it... yet ;)

Check out this great find from Amazon... only $37.40!  This would look amazing on Kate Dimera, the best dressed woman in Salem, hands down.  Since Stefano recently pretty much made her destitute, the price should be within her budget as well.

She'd probably look good in this one too, but it's $775.

Perhaps Ian will purchase it for her?

Days of our Lives 45th Anniversary

Happy 45th anniversary to Days of Our Lives... here's to 45 more!

After 25 years of watching, I'd be lost if it went off the air!!!

Alison Sweeney looked fierce on the red carpet, love the thigh high boots!

Check out more photos from the celebration by The Academy of TV Arts and Sciences on NBC's website.

The Investigation of Stefano Dimera's Murder

I find it strange, considering every thing Stefano has done to him and his family, that Roman is so adamant about running this investigation "By the book."

Still, today Roman made the rounds with a new officer specially assigned to the case, to ensure he follows all the rules.

First he dropped in on Abe, but it doesn't seem to be him.  Although with Alexandra gone, there won't be much of a story line for him, so it would be an interesting way for him to leave the show.

Speaking of, she's still not dead.  She's been holding her head more and more every day, but that's about it.  Now the crying has shifted to crying about her father, but still, I've had all I can take of sob scenes involving Lexie and death!

The commander then went on to question Kate, who cried us a river about how much she loved him and how sad she is that he's gone.  Yeah sure, whatever Kate. After Roman left, it started to sound like she was going to confess to Ian, but the show ended with him asking her point blank if she was the one who killed Stefano, and she didn't answer, but her face was riddled with guilt.  I suspect she'll only admit to having visited and threatened him.  It's too soon to reveal the killer.  This is Days of our Lives... Things move slowly here.

Last but not least was a call on EJ, where Roman confronted him about how passive he's being about the investigation.  "The EJ Dimera we know would be banging on the police station door demanding justice and on TV offering a reward.  I can only think of one reason why you're not doing that.  You already know who the killer is, don't you?"

I'm still betting on an unknown suspect.  Remember, there was a glove.

Who Killed Stefano Dimera?

I called it weeks ago, I just knew we were setting up for a who-dun-it in Salem.  Twenty five years of watching, and this isn't my first rodeo.  I knew exactly where the writers were heading with this.

Stefano Dimera was shot at the end of Friday's episode, and they took the body away in a body bag.  It seems like the old man is truly dead, but nothing's ever final on DOOL.

The Salem police department has an astounding eight sets of prints on the murder weapon.  Oh yes, you read right, eight different people showed up that night to threaten Stefano, and eight different people were dumb enough to leave their prints on a gun lying around the house.  Two of those people are police officers, and one is an ex-cop, mercenary and ISA agent.

It's more than a little bit of an insult to our intelligence as an audience, but this is Days of our Lives, and it's not the first time we've been asked to believe something so ludicrous.

So our present suspects are EJ, Will, John, Marlena, Bo, Hope, Kate and Abe, but when the shot was fired, our killer was wearing gloves, so it could actually be any number of people, such as Ian McAllister.

Who do you think did it?


PS: Alexandra's still not dead.  On the bright side, there were no sappy mushy scenes about her dying today.  :)

Who Will Kill Stefano Dimera?

Our up-coming who-dun-it is heating up in Salem, with today's episode being mostly about setting up the suspects.

Will, John Black, Marlena, Bo, Hope or EJ. I had pegged Brady as a suspect a couple of weeks ago when I first predicted Stefano would soon die. Well die Salem style, anyway. Stefano's never really dead, he's the Phoenix, and always rises from the ashes.

The episode ended with EJ brandishing a gun in his ex-dad's face, but it ain't over until you hear the bang, and I don't believe it will be him in the end.

The rest of the episode included scenes with Gaby and her stalker for hire and Nicole and Dr Daniel making out.

I've been hoping they might get together... Guess Daniel wasn't too angry about the test switching after all!

Who do you think will pull the trigger... And when?

Nicole Gets Caught By Daniel Jonas

Alexandra still isn't dead.  More boohoo scenes. Blah blah blah

ANYWAY, 

The big paternity test happened today, and if Nicole wasn't determined to keep EJ in the dark before, she certainly is now.

His pathetic threats to declare her an unfit mother and take the child to be raised as a true Dimera (ahem) made him look like a real jerk.  Nicole of course was shaking in her boots, she seriously needs to work on her poker face!!!

Even more frantic to keep EJ from knowing the truth, Dr Daniel walked in to his office at the end of the episode to find her sitting at his desk, switching the labels.

Will he support her, or report her? I predict he will support her, turn his head and act like nothing happened... What do you think???

Also!!!  Things are heating up for the upcoming who-dun-it in Salem.

Today's suspects include Abe, who's convinced Stefano is the reason Alexandra is dying, and Will, who held a gun and said "We'll see who laughs last, Stefano."

You'd think he would have learned his lesson by now.  Lucas went to jail in order to protect Will when he shot EJ... Who does he think will go to jail for him now?

Da Da Dum

Sami and Will Make-Up

But will it last?!

The scene when Will finally forgave Sami was very touching.  I was happy to see their issues finally resolved.

Somehow I doubt the peace will last, as the episode ended with Will confessing he's the reason Rafe found out about her indiscretion with EJ.

I suspect Sami will be furious and not want to speak to him for a while... but I'm hoping she'll be a better mother than that.

What's your problem?  I'm aloud to hope aren't I?

In other news, Lexie's still not dead.  Although the scenes with EJ today were mostly about his situation with his ex-father Stefano, not about her dying... of course they did throw that in at the end. Boo.

Dressing for Succes Like Kate Dimera

Having watched Days of Our Lives for over 25 years now, I always have something to say about the fashions.


My favorite by far is Kate Dimera.  She always looks so put together, and they always find just the right thing for her to wear.  The only thing I've been questioning is the blue streak in her hair for the past year... they do realize she's over 50 right?

Anywho, here are a few of my pics from Amazon for blazers to help you achieve a look like Kate's.  Don't forget a great blouse underneath, and lots of clunky jewelry to complete your outfit!


Dressed to kill and ready to take over the world.

Carrie's Pregnant: What does this mean for Rafe?

So the test results are back, and Carrie is officially pregnant.  Of course, being the angel she is, this puts a hold on her telling Austin that she is in love with another man.  Being the total angel that he is, is broken hearted, but he understands.

Thing is, they aren't really angels are they?  After all the years of treating Sami like she was the devil for having tried to come between she and Austin, Carrie now wants to leave him for her husband.  Granted, Sami cheated on Rafe first, but Rafe was falling in love with Carrie and KISSED Carrie before he ever even knew about Sami's indiscretion.  And who's to say he wouldn't have tried to forgive her had Carrie not been in the picture?

Of course, it's just a matter of time until they give in to their desires and start a torrid affair.  You can only deny the heart for so long, and living a lie is no way to live!

I fast forwarded through most of the scenes with Alexandra Carver, I'm so tired of these never ending goodbyes.  Just die already.  I'm sorry, did that sound heartless?  Well maybe it is, but she isn't real, so it's cool.  Today she said "it's getting worse, I can feel it.  My time's almost up, and I'm not ready."

Too bad, so sad, I am.

Will told EJ that Stefano forced him to reveal the truth about his affair with Sami to Rafe, so that Nicole would leave him.  When he confronted his not-really-father, he was very unapologetic, stating that Nicole was bad for him and that maybe there was a reason that he keeps ending up in bed with Sami... yes, it's because they are suppose to be together!!!

In other news, the budding romance between Cameron (new comer hotty) and Abigail continues, much to Celeste's chagrin. They shared their first kiss today, it was pretty cute.

Today's suspects for the upcoming who-dun-it?  Bo held his gun while saying that Stefano would get what's coming to him and EJ vowed to destroy his life.


It's still a toss-up to me, who do you think will pull the trigger?

Marlena Evans to Kill Stefano?

Today's episode was kind of a bore.

Bo and Hope made out all episode while discussing how lucky they were to have each other and how much they hate Stefano... ya, okay, we know.  Thank goodness for the fast forward button... barf

Gaby's still trying to break up Melanie and Chad, and is just annoying.  The whole stalker thing doesn't hold up one bit, yet nobody is calling her on it.  Give me a break.

And Alexandra Carver STILL isn't dead.  If she really is going to kick the bucket, can we get on with it already???  I'm so sick of watching crying scenes!!!

Marlena caught John buying the gun (further setup for the upcoming who-dun-it)...  and made him get rid of it.

Just as I was ready to call the episode a wash, Marlena's last line implied that she may take matters into her own hands.  Another suspect to add to an ever growing list.

On the upside, if Marlena goes to jail, we won't have to watch anymore kissing scenes of her and John.  I don't know who's at fault, but they always seem repulsed when they have to make-out.  It's kind of gross to watch, I wonder if the actors don't get along.

Stefano Dimera Arrested

When they arrested Stefano on yesterday`s episode, I wasn't much of a believer.

What I didn't see coming is the creative way in which they got him off the hook this time.  Working with the CIA to fight terrorism.  Oh come on, Stefano Dimera is a terrorist!

I'm still convinced we're setting up for a who dun-it.  Every one will be so outraged that he's gotten away with his crimes once again... someone will surely shoot him.

I'd be kind of sad if he is killed, Stefano is one of the most interesting characters on Days of our Lives.  He is the quintessential villain, and Ian McAllister is no replacement as Salem's leading bad guy.

Favorite quote of the day:

Stefano to the CIA agent that bailed him out:
"They don't like to lose, but by now you'd think they'd be use to it"

Sami and Lucas React to Will's news

Following yesterdays big announcement,

Sami and Lucas' reactions to Will being gay were disappointing.

I know Sami's character is notoriously self centered, but she's also usually a good mother, and I couldn't believe she would walk out on him at that moment.  As for Lucas, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but he sure could have done a better job of hiding his disappointment.

What got me the most is neither one of them even tried to hug the kid.

If that day ever comes, I'll take my kid and hug him close, let him know that nothing's changed and ask him what we should wear to the parade.

Of course, when Sami left, she ran smack dab into EJ, who actually gave her some good advice.  I'm telling you, they're starting to set him up as good EJ again.  Lucas will make some flip comments about Will's sexuality, Sami will get offended, and run straight into EJ's arms.

Probably the day after Nicole forgives EJ and admits the baby she is carrying is his.  Poor Nicky.

John to bite the bullet?

"I'm sorry my friend, but your little game is over" said the big bad arms dealer as he pointed his gun straight at John's chest. "I know who you all are and I know what you're up to."

End scene, tune in tomorrow. As if they'll actually get shot. How many times can one fake die in a week?

I know what you're thinking: this is Days, anything is possible! Very true, but I predict no one will be harmed. Though I'd love to see the looks on the doctors faces when they wheel in a supposedly dead patient!

"hey, didn't you die last week?"

Will Tells Sami and Lucas He's Gay

Today's Days of our Lives episode finished with a cliffhanger: Will finally telling his parents he's gay. In an explosion of emotion, he yelled the words at them and the scene ended with their shocked faces.

I predict Lucas will react poorly, based on the way he acted when he saw Will fooling around with the guy in the bar.

I'm hoping Sami will be supportive, she's my favorite character and I would be really disappointed if the writers go that way.

Opposing sides may cause a rift between the newly reunited love birds... Perhaps an opening for EJ to swoop in?

Never a dull moment in Salem, at least not where Sami's involved!

Alexandra Carver to die?

So Celeste the psychic mother rolls into town on the same day Lexie gets a terrible headache to tell her daughter that she's in grave danger.

As a side note, I'd like to say that I've never much cared for the character of Celeste, but I like this actress even less than the last.

The diagnosis is bleak. She has a brain tumor that's rapidly progressing and is inoperable. The best specialist in the world was immediately called in, as they are always conveniently easy to find in Salem. The final word is given: Alexandra Carver will die.

Now, I could spoil the fun and go see if her contract is up, but then what's the point of watching???


Although saying I've been watching is a stretch, since I've been hitting the fast forward button a lot lately as I've had enough of the crying scenes. How depressing. And it could all be for nothing, because last minute miracle cures are known to happen on Days of our Lives!

If she actually does die, she would be one of the very few who have actually died in Salem, asides from the older members of the original cast.

I can only think of Isabella (John's first wife, Brady's mother and Victor's daughter) and Zack (son of Bo and Hope, killed by his sister Chelsea while she wasn't paying attention to the road).

Am I missing anyone?

Where are Shawn D and Belle?

So, all of Belle and Shawn D's parents have died, but at the service on yesterday's episode, excuses were made for every family member except them.

Even recently, when Bo was near death, they spoke of Zack and Siera, but never mentionned Shawn D.

I've been hoping for their return for a while now, but I think my dog is dead, because the writers and producers seem to have forgotten about them.

Ah sucky poo.

What about you? Are there any characters that you miss?

*edit* Of course, I posted this and then went to watch today's episode.  Belle and Shawn D. were mentioned.  No hope of them coming back though, because they conveniently get to know the truth.

Six People Dead in Salem

Marlena and John.  Bo and Hope.  Rafe and Carrie.  All dead.  Except they're not.

Who does that?!  So they all decided to go into hiding and let all of their loved ones believe that six family members have been murdered?!

Can you imagine if that happened to you?  OK, so the person comes back and you're thrilled to see them again, but what about the incredible traumatic time you went through?  It would be like:

"OMG you're alive!!!  I'm so happy to see you!!!  How could you let me believe that you were dead?!  You jerk, come here so I can kill you myself!"

Of course, this is all in an effort to catch Stefano Dimera, the root of all evil in Salem, USA.  A small town that has every amenity of the biggest of cities?  All this for some mystery coin, that holds the secret behind all that evil.  Da da dum (ominous music)

As I've been watching these past few days, it seems to me like we're setting up for a good old fashion DOOL who-dun-it?  Every one is out for blood, and the old man's about to bite the big one.  Well for a while anyway.  No one ever really dies in Salem unless the actor does, except for Isabella.  She must have really pissed someone off.

Anyway, I digress.

The suspects?  So far we have Will Horton, Brady Black, Victor Kiriakis and EJ Not-Dimera-Anymore, but I'm sure a few more will be added to throw us off.

I shouldn't have gotten myself started on the whole EJ's not a Dimera thing, because that story line is starting to insult my Days of our Lives intelligence.

Kristen and Tony were adopted, and he loved them just as much and used Tony as his right hand man.  Why would he turn his back on EJ after finding out he's not his biological dad?  I'm hoping the writers have some way to explain this, because if they don't it's just plain dumb.  My one theory is that he's actually discovered that EJ's real father is in fact a Horton.  (They can't really make him a Brady, that would make him a relative to Sami) Which makes EJ the enemy... so I guess it would make sense.

Well by sense, I mean make sense Days style.

Catch me tomorrow for more DOOL updates, comments, rants and laughs.
