FALL PREVIEWS!!!!

"Well, after releasing ten back to back episodes, the blog is all caught up! It's back and better than ever! All the stories are going to heat up in September and October, and as usual, November Sweeps will prove to be unforgettable and life-changing for every character."

Alan/Will/Sami/Lucas/Austin/Carrie/Annie/Eric/Simone: "This is probably going to be the biggest story of the fall. Alan (Scott Holiroyd, above.) and Will's potential pairing is definitely sick and twisted, and I'm aware of this. It is kind of Nip/Tuck-esque. We are pushing the envelope here, but it's such a f*cked up dynamic! It was screaming to be told. Alan will break up Sami and Lucas AND Austin and Carrie. Unfortunately for Carrie, Sami and Annie's baby-snatching scheme will unfold. They want to give the baby to Simone who is generally disconnected from everyone else in Salem since she is new. Their plan will work. There's the Will/Alan secret relationship. There's Eric and his connection to the Greta story. There is so much to play out here so this set will be heavily featured. Everything will build to a shocking, shocking, shocking climax during November."

Melissa/Frankie/Greta: "This love triangle is going to spin out of control as the September 15th deadline approaches. Melissa must wonder if she wants to fight for Frankie, forgive him, and stop that wedding, or if she should let Frankie carry on and ruin the sacrament of marriage in order to get enough money to bribe her ex for kids. She loves her kids more than anything, but she is a Horton through and through and does not want to resort to such amoral acts. Of course, Greta and Frankie will grow closer and closer. They are in for some shocks. We will be casting the role of Melissa's ex eventually, but it probably will not be until after the New Year. Expect the shocks to keep coming with these three."

Jack/Billie/Bo/Hope/Liam: " This is going to be a huge story for the next two months. We have Liam's secret and Billie's cancer and the friendship (or is it something more?) between Billie and Jack. Not to mention, we have the Megan factor and the fact that Bo and Hope now lost custody of Zach....to Lexie! The truth about Mason is going to come out. There is a lot more to Liam that we have not seen. The next three months are going to be huge. Grant Aleksander's (Liam) contract is up in November so there will be some huge story developments during September and October. There's something big coming up with Liam that I don't think most readers will see coming. Not to mention, they will be helping Steve regain his memory, as well. (See below.)"

Steve/Kayla and Lawrence: "Fans now know that Lawrence wants Steve dead for something Steve discovered about Lawrence the day Steve 'died.' But Lawrence is NOT responsible for Steve's memory loss and his 'death.' We know Lawrence knew about it, but he was not responsible. And neither is Stefano. There is a big obstacle coming up for Steva and Kayla. Their fans will be shocked. And it is not a third party. There will be no triangle here. Michael Sabatino's stint as Lawrence will not last long. Hope, Bo, Billie, and Jack will continue to be there to help Steve regain his memory."

Kristen/John/Marlena: "We have another baby-snatching scheme here, but there is one big difference...Kristen isn't keeping anything hidden. When she steals Marlena's baby, she wants Marlena to know all the gory details - who, why, where, and how. She wants Marlena to suffer....and she will! Celeste and Stefano will figure prominently in here. Look for Tonya Boyd (Celeste) to return to the canvas in October where will see her pick up right where we saw her leave off...in a Dimera dungeon, thanks to Kristen. Stefano will be a big factor, of course. There is a big adventure coming up for John And Marlena."

Erika/Max/Abby and Lance/Maggie/Mickey: "Two triangles here that will collide in a big way. Lance and Max's connection to one another will be revealed. Maggie will continue to fall for Lance while Max will continue to fall for Chelsea-lookalike, Erika. Maggie just cannot forgive Mickey for not believing her when Bonnie framed her for drinking again. Abby and Mickey will only be able to stand on the sidelines, helpless. Lance will be a big villain and huge force to be reckoned with. Alan Dale (Lance) can really shine in this role."

Stefano: "Stefano attempted to ruin Salem last time by assembling an army of Jack, Cassie, and Tek. But he found that he could not trust them. So, now he has moved on to family ties, people he KNOWS he can trust - Lexie, Kristen (Michelle Stafford, above right.), and Megan (Gina Tognoni above, left.)! He will assemble his army of Dimera Daughters and send them into Salem swinging. The plans are still on to have Eileen step into the role of Kristen at some point, but Michelle will continue playing Nurse Paris, who is really Kristen post-surgery, for a least a few more months."

Titan vs. Alamain: "Screw love triangles! Kate/Victor/Vivian is so much delicious when revenge is involved. It's Kate and Vivvy vs. Victor. It's only just begun!"

Miscellaneous: "Cassie, Georgia, Celeste, and Shawn have been temporarily written out, but they will be back in October. Until Shawn returns, Belle and Jan will be backburnered. Jeremy Horton will return."

Umbrella: "All of the big stories are going to SLOWLY come together. Fans will be able to guess how during September and October. All will be revealed in November. It will link all the big stories together, and when they come together, they will explode, leaving lives in the wake. Not everyone will be here after November."
