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.  :)
