Rafe Moves On From Sami

With Kate Roberts/Kiriakis/Dimera?!

Brady being with Kristen was hard enough for me to stomach, but Kate and Rafe?  That's just twisted.

I used to like Rafe a lot, loved it when he and Sami were first together, but he's become so sanctimonious with her that I've grown tired of him.  

He's constantly turning his back on her, treating her like dirt whenever she screws up or doesn't do things his way.  The worse part is that he acts like she is the only problem in the equation.  I understand getting angry or being disappointed in someone, but to take away your love every time there is an issue is cruel, and Sami deserves better.

Really though, Rafe hooking up with Kate?!  That's a new low for Mr. FBI. 

I saw it coming as they sat drinking together at the bar; commiserating about how much they both hate Samantha Brady, but I didn't want to believe it was going to happen.  What gets me most is that he's so judgmental of Sami and her shenanigans, yet Kate makes Sami look like an angel with all the dirty low down things she's pulled.  

Sami's reaction to this news should be interesting... Can't wait to see this story hit the fan!!!

Speaking of Kate, I wonder how she feels about the fact that she's about to be a great-grandmother?  Hahaha!  Hope I look that good when I'm her age!

Nicole Walker Sets Her Sights On Father Eric

What would Days of our Lives be without major drama?  We like to see the characters happy, but only for a little while, because happy gets boring, and fast.

What keeps us coming back, day after day, is the never ending drama, of course.

Fun things happening in Salem this week:

Nick Fallon purchased surveillance equipment in an effort to gather evidence that it was Will, not Lucas, that shot EJ.  I'm not sure where this storyline is going, but I have a feeling there will be one heck of a custody battle over this little girl, and there is no telling how far Nick is willing to go to get what he wants.  There's something a little sociopathic about this guy, and I just don't trust him.

Cloe is doing everything she can to get between Jen and Daniel, her newly discovered baby daddy.  I wanted to see Daniel with Nicole, so I'm not really sure where I stand here.

And...

Not that I didn't totally see this coming, but today's episode revealed that Nicole is having "feelings" for Father Eric.  Nicole was Eric's first love, way back when, but she dumped him when Kate offered her five million dollars to marry Lucas.  It's only a matter of time until the good priest breaks his vows, as it's obvious he still finds her hard to resist.

DOOL writers sure have been pushing the envelope lately...  good on them.

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!

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?

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.  :)

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.
