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.
