He says she was special to him, almost as special as Mimi was. He sighs, having lost another woman . He hears a voice say “The relationship would never have worked anyway. She hated you right before she left.” and he looks beside him to see Cassie in a wheelchair. He asks what she’s doing here, and she says she surprisingly was alright and able to be released from the hospital again. Luckily she wasn’t hit too much, and then Rex finally gets up the courage to asks her what her problem is with any woman he gets into a relationship with. -Bo walks over to John and says “John, I-” but he interrupts with a smile on his face and says “No. Call me Roman. Roman Brady.” Bo stands stunned for a moment, while Kim says “Well then may I officially welcome you to the family, Roman.” John/Roman smiles at his family, finally truly accepting his identity…

Oh I loved that ending. It was fantastic and my favorite part, especially when he threw the picture. And, I am loving this Tracy stuff. You three write her so well, especially with what I have read so far. Can't wait to see what comes next.

He promises, and says he found something very interesting at the DiMera mansion….. -EJ sighs and tells her she is just a mere woman to him, but they have been spending some time together over the past several months and he would like to know if she is alright. Helena snaps he does not need to, and that his focus should be on his throne! He tells her it is, and she says he can’t get himself distracted with women like Stavros, Stefan, and Nikolas did. She says he must be her perfect heir, so that means he WILL not be pre-occupied with some woman.

She says to herself “How will I tell them? How can I tell Maggie, Hope, and all the others of this? She hears an ambulance arrive, and paramedics rush in and Marlena explains to them she just found her like this, and there are no signs of murder, but also a friend of Alice’s mentioned she was sick earlier. The paramedics simply nod, and take Alice’s body off to the morgue of the hospital. -Anna asks what, and he pulls out of a picture of Helena Cassadine. Anna gasps, saying she is one of the richest and most powerful people she knows of! Tony nods, and says he wonders why Stefano would have a picture of her.

Anna grins widely as she says it looks like they have another investigation on their hands. -EJ sits down for a moment, wondering what to do.

Max says he needs to hurry, and Abe says he’ll try to find her as fast as he can, but no promises. -Marlena walks into Maggie’s room, and Maggie smiles, remarking it’s about time someone came to visit. Marlena says she was around, so she decided to see how she was doing. Maggie says she’s pretty good, just worried for the others. She says any more people lost would be a tragedy, with so many beloved family members already gone. She asks Marlena if she would do her a favor, and Marlena says of course, and Maggie asks Marlena to check on Alice for her…. *Days of Our Lives Opening* -John and Bo walk into the waiting room, and Kayla comes out of Caroline’s room. John asks what’s wrong, and she says they have news on Caroline. Both of them anxiously ask how she is, and Kayla answers sadly that Caroline has gone into a coma. Bo stares at Kayla for a moment, and asks if they know anything else. Kayla shakes her head, while John does not say a word and paces. Bo then says they already lost Pa and now this. Kayla tries to re-assure them by saying she could be back soon, and that for now they all just need to have hope. -Tony slowly enters the DiMera mansion, he says it has been a very very long time.

He then says to himself “Now what would Stefano have to do with the rich widow Helena Cassadine?” -EJ stares at Helena for a moment, and then says “I must get to the hospital, and check on Samantha…” but as he turns Helena says “What is your concern for a pitiful woman such as her? From what I know, she is a foolish girl who is a danger to everyone around her.” and EJ then simply responds “She is…..one I have taken a simple interest in.” Helena scowls and tells him “No. We have your father to worry about. She will be no concern of yours, unless she dares interfere and then I will be the one to deal with her!” -Vivian and Forrest hear a laugh, and Nicholas walks into the room, having been released from the hospital due to very few injuries. He says it is the never ending battle of his great aunt and every other Alamain. Forrest then says “So this is my rogue nephew. It is no surprise you turned out like this, with Lawrence raising you.” Vivian tells Forrest to just stop with his blasted remarks, and he should just go back to the Alamain mansion. Forrest smirks and says of course, and leaves but warns Vivian to watch out, for her time is coming…. -Marlena arrives at the Horton House and sees the door is unlocked, so she thinks to herself Alice won’t mind if she just walks in. She goes inside, and sees Alice’s body sitting perfectly still in a chair. She gasps and screams out. Tears start pouring out of her eyes as she rushes to Alice’s body, and she says over and over “No no no, oh please no….”

OH MY GOSH! You gotta be kidding me......I am in disbelief..... This was one of the biggest shockers you two have ever done. I mean, I am practically in DENIAL! But....it seems realistic after you think about it a bit. LOVE it and can't wait to see how this turns out!

She says she knows she has been going through a hard time because of Shawn’s death, and she’s sorry she hasn’t been around too much to help her. She hasn’t been there for any of her children. She says it’s time she changes that, and she will be there for all of them. She whispers she’ll let her rest now and kisses her on the forehead before leaving Belle’s hospital room…. -Max walks into the office room in the garage, and finds a recording sitting on his desk.

TWO LONG-TIME VETS OUT ON LIS! Coming as a shock, Peggy Mccay(Caroline Brady) and Bill Hayes(Doug Williams) have been fired from the LIS cast. Both still have many episodes that they are still in, but both characters due to the chandelier accident on Chez Rouge have gone into comas. "Likely, Peggy's exit is only temporary, but don't expect Caroline to wake up for quite a bit." the EP/Writer commented "We still have much story to tell with her, but with The War beginning there is currently no place for her. So we have to write her out for a little while, and it also helps to de-bloat the cast. Though I hate cutting all these vets, new people shall also be cut, and Caroline won't be gone forever. I have not decided how long Doug will be gone, but it could be for a very long long time. It will help kick off Julie's upcoming story, and also though he was only a guest/recurring character he has no place, where as later on Julie will." Both actors' last airdates have not been verified. In other news: Heather Olson(ex-Lilly Spears) last aired on Episode#136. Don't expect her to appear again. Annie Burgstede's(Willow Stark) last airdate is coming up very soon, expect it to only be a breif appearance. Jensen Ackles last aired as Eric Brady on Episode#139. The exit was very open ended, so a return is possible!

She looks up to the sky and says “I can’t let my husband suffer….but I can’t go to jail or worse get executed because of an accidental murder!” She continues to walk, and some stare at her oddly, suspecting something but walk on. She blames Stefano and Tek, thinking to herself both of them got her into this in a way. -Christopher examines Doug some more, and gasps as he finds one last piece of glass deeply wedged into his shoulder. He calls for the other nurses and doctors quickly, and says they have to get this out NOW!They hurriedly get to work, and slowly begin to remove the glass…. -Viki looks around and screams “WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME?!” and slowly leans back as she feels a bit of a headache, and one of the nurses rush in and Viki asks the nurse where she is. The nurse replies Salem University Hospital and asks Viki if she remembers her name, and Viki says she is Victoria Lord Davidson. -Victor remarks that she’s referring to Caroline as her mother-in-law now, and Marlena says it’s time they all accept the truth. He orders her to get her hands off of him, but she forcefully pulls him back and tells him not a chance. She tells him to just get out of this hospital now, and he merely stares at her for a moment before saying this is not worth it but he will be back, then he leaves angrily. -Eventually the doctors come out from Caroline’s room. Kim stands at Kayla’s side as Marlena and Greta walk in. The doctor says that Caroline is safe for now, but there is some bad news. Kim puts an arm around her sister for comfort, and slowly asks what. The doctor then reveals Caroline has gone into a coma, and it is unknown how long it will last or if it is irreversible. Kayla breaks down as Kim tries to hold back her tears….

I LOVE it. The new style is fantastic. And so much easier to read. The stories are great as always, and I already love how you are writing the two new characters!

Episode#137 -Slowly the last of the victims are found and taken to the hospital, including Crystal, Nicholas, Forrest, Kate, Stephanie, Nikki, Cassie, Rex, and Willow. Doug and Julie are also found, and the paramedics yell that Doug is in critical condition… -Tracy barges into the Salem Inn and into Helena’s room, and she has several scratches and bruises. She asks Helena what was all that about at that restaurant, and she didn’t come to some weird town to get killed. Helena tells her to calm down and be patient, and she will know all in due time. -Alice’s spirit slowly hovers over Julie, and slowly her hand goes into Julie’s heart, and Julie is suddenly fine, but Alice can feel her worry and love for Doug…. *Days of Our Lives Opening* -Bo tells Hope he has to stay at Chez Rouge, to help investigate the situation. She begs him to let her help, but he says she needs to go to the hospital. She says she’s fine but he says he’s not going to risk it. She asks if the babies are alright, and he says they are fine at their house with the babysitter, and she is still with them. Hope asks if he’ll come to the hospital later, and he promises. But suddenly when both hear Doug is in critical condition and on his way to the hospital, Hope begins to worry for her father. Bo sighs as Hope is put on the ambulance, and he yells to her he will be there soon. -Faux Roman tells Marlena, John, and Greta sadly they have found every single person who could possibly be in Chez Rouge, and Eric was not one of them. He says he’s so so sorry, and looks away in sadness since in a way he still considers Eric his son. John just closes his eyes in silence, and Marlena worries as Greta cries. She tells Greta they must remain calm, and she needs to get to the hospital to check on Belle and Sami. She asks Greta if she wants to come, and Greta remembers Steve is there so she merely nods. John says he’ll stay and help search for Eric, also he needs to speak to certain people. Marlena nods and hugs him tightly before she leaves, and begs him to find their son. Faux Roman clinches slightly on reflex at hearing this, and walks away. John says he will, but also still feels a bit uncomfortable on the inside with calling Eric his son and being Roman Brady. Marlena and Greta leave, and John tells Faux Roman they have to stop Stefano, no matter what the distance between them has been lately. Faux Roman is not incredibly comfortable with John, but he agrees, saying this tragedy cannot happen again. John corrects him saying it WILL NOT happen again. -As everyone gets to the hospital, Christopher finishes up with Billie, and then after Kayla checks on Stephanie and Kim again they both hear that Doug, Caroline, and Willow are all in critical condition. They run to help the other doctors…. -Kim worries for her mother, thinking to herself they can’t lose another person in this family. She goes to The chapel and prays for her mother to make it out alright, and that they need her oh so much right now. -Tracy says she does not have time, and Helena argues right now they have plenty of time. Tracy groans and tells Helena she is going back to Port Charles before anything else happens, and then she stomps out of Salem Inn. Helena smirks and says that they will meet again, and Tracy will not be in Port Charles for long…. -Kayla rushes to help Caroline, while Christopher handles Doug. The doctors try to get Kayla to leave saying it could be bad for her to try to help with her mother, but Kayla tells them to deal with it and tries to save her mother’s life. She whispers “Don’t die, Ma. We need you. All of us. Please live….” and she tears up as she continues to attempt to stabilize her. -Christopher along with other doctors work to remove some large glass pieces from Doug, and one of the paramedics say that he was hit by a large chandelier. One of the nurses comments that it is unlikely for him to live, and Christopher says that he never lets any of his patients die easily, and this man still has a life to live. -Hope lies in one of the hospital beds, and prays that her father will be saved. “I can’t lose him.” she whispers, and suddenly there is a gust of wind through the open window. Suddenly she lifts her head up and says slowly “Gran?” but then as it stops she slowly lies back down, confused. -Bo walks up to Abe inside Chez Rouge, and looks at the glass and rubble everywhere. He sighs, and says to Abe “What now?”. Abe shakes his head, and replies “I….don’t know. Stefano is obviously ready to try again to get Salem and the Bradys to collapse….and he has Lexie with him.” and then Bo slowly says “I….thought I saw…..Megan Hathaway…..” Abe looks to Bo in astonishment for a moment, but then just looks away “Nothing about that man suprises me anymore. Who knows. But what I do know is that we have to protect Salem and our loved ones from that mad-man, because I have a feeling in my gut that this time won’t be as easy as all the previous encounters with him…..”

Episode#136 -Tony suddenly pulls away from the kiss with Anna, telling her to just leave him alone. Anna looks up at Tony in confusion and shock. *Days of Our Lives Opening* -Alexis slowly limps out of Chez Rouge, and EJ walks over to her and tries to pull her over to one of the medics. She snaps at him, telling him to go away, and blames him for her injuries. He tells her to just shut it and keep moving, and reminds her what he’s paying her. She just rolls her eyes and continues on. -Christopher walks over to Billie and examines her. “She’s losing too much blood. We need to work fast.” Slowly he and the medics try to stop the bleeding, while Billie lies motionless. Christopher tells her to just hang on, and he doesn’t let his patients go easily. -Erin lets out a scream, and then the person stops a tape that was recording everything. Erin smirks, and the mysterious figure says “You did fantastic, sweetheart.” and she puts her arms around his neck, and whispers “Thanks. Now just to deliver this recording to that foolish race car driver, and we should be set.” -Greta frantically tries to find Eric as she stumbles through Chez Rouge, but instead finds Nicole. She stares angrily at her, part of her still harboring anger towards her for what happened all those years ago. But she reminds herself she has to let go, and already let go of Eric. Much time has passed, and she can’t hold onto that situation forever. For now, she must focus on finding Eric and then trying to figure out how to handle Kayla and her father. -John finally finds Caroline, under a pile of rubble from a chandelier. Marlena checks her pulse and says it’s faint, and they have to get her out of here NOW! John picks her up and they both run out, and he whispers to his mother “Don’t worry, as long as I am here, you won’t die. You’ll be fine Ma, I promise….” They get outside, and take her to an ambulance as everyone who has been found so far is being taken to the hospital on ambulances. John orders the medics to take good care of her, or else. Marlena turns, and tries to re-assure John. She looks around, and says “Oh no…where’s Eric?! John, OUR son is still in there!” John stands in silence for a moment, remembering how him and Eric always had a rocky relationship and Eric never even bothered to talk to him even now, but he’s still his son. They see Greta come out in tears, saying she can’t find him either…. -Anna tries to ask Tony what’s wrong, but he slowly walks away. She stares in confusion, but then is taken away to an ambulance. “This better not take long….I have to find out what’s wrong with my Tony…that kiss was so passionate, and then he just turned and left….” she whispers to herself -As Alexis is taken to the hospital reluctantly, EJ overhears John, Marlena, and Greta worrying for Eric. He narrows his eyes and whispers “Don’t worry Roman, your son is safe in my hands….”

Episode#135 -John searches high and low in Chez Rouge for Caroline. He calls out “CAROLINE!” over and over. He lifts tables, chandeliers, anything he can find! He continues to yell out Caroline’s name and memories come back to him as a child with his mother. He searches but finds nothing and drops on his knees and screams out “MAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!” -Kayla asks Greta what she is doing with Steve and that she doesn’t even know him. Greta quickly covers and says she remembers her old friend Jack telling her all about him and showing her many pictures. She says she wanted to check on him so if Jack heard about it soon and panicked she could tell him things were alright. Kayla asks how she knew he was alive then. Greta lies that Eric had told her about it. Kayla tells Greta to stop lying and tell her why she was really with Steve. -Anna manages to give a faint smile to Tony.

She begins to explain how she’s alive…. *Days of Our Lives Opening* -A mysterious person places Erin inside a strange place. The person says “Wake up, Sweetie…” -EJ looks down at Lucas’s unconscious body. He takes out a knife and says “You know, I could just kill you right now. I don’t even have to use a knife! I could make it look like you died here, due to your injuries. But, I won’t do that. Where would be the fun? I still have plenty in store for you…” -Gina says that a certain someone saved her at the last minute. Took her body and then managed to keep her alive. Managed to cure her lung cancer as well! -Marlena comes to John’s side and comforts him. She says they WILL find Caroline, and for him not to worry! John says he MUST find her! He clutches Marlena and whispers to her he has to apologize! He says he hasn’t been a very good son to her. He should have protected her! Marlena says he’s only known a matter of months! John yells that’s no excuse! He turns and continues to dig for Caroline. -Greta stands, silent. Kayla suddenly realizes Stephanie is still somewhere inside Chez Rouge! She tells Greta they’ll talk later. As she runs back into Chez Rouge, Greta says now that she knows Steve is fine she can get out of here. But she remembers something and shreiks “ERIC!” -Erin opens her eyes and rubs her head, she looks around and asks “Where am I?” then looks at the person and says “Who are you?!” and the person replies “Your greatest nightmare.” -EJ picks up Lucas and carries him out of Chez Rouge. Sami sees him and rejoices. She thanks EJ as the extra doctors and nurses that have arrived begin to check on him. EJ turns and says to himself “Now, where’s Kefer?” -Tony looks at Anna in silence for a moment, and she asks in a quiet voice “Well?” and he answers “I would love nothing better.” and he and Anna share a very tender kiss. -Gina gets up and says “Well I must be going now, dearly departed Mrs.Horton. I’ll be sure to “take care” of your family for you, especially Hope.” Gina laughs as she opens the door and leaves, and as she does a cold chill blows through the air….

WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON?! THANK THE LORD she isn't dead....but I was sure in shock when I read this. I never even *suspected* this, it's so awesome! Also, this episode was so, so, so emotionall. Really moved me to tears in the middle with all the people speaking. And LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Roman calling Orpheus like that and blowing up his apartment. TAKE THAT YOU KILLER!

LIS did not make it's May Sweeps return as planned, and has been on hiatus all through Summer. "I have been writing episodes, but I got busy. However, I am working to get it back up, and hopefully it will be back soon. In the meantime, here is an interview to just let you know LIS lives." Interviewer: LIS has been on hiatus since the end of Winter, and right on the verge of a brand new story and Alice Horton's death. When do you expect it to return? HW: No exact date, just when I can get other daily things situated. Alot has come up lately, and it has distracted me from LIS heavily. I have not forgotten the blog however, and am working on stories. "The War" is huge, and I have been organizing what I am going to do in the story. It has all characters involved, and people of old and new will play roles. Interviewer: We do know that old characters are possibly returning, such as Melissa and Carrie, but you mentioned new? Mind giving us a sample on what you mean? HW: I will not dump a batch of new people on the show. I have some, but none of them are major. Kimberlin[brown, ex-Sheila, Y&R/B&B] has a character on the show that will be Stefano's new henchwoman, and will be in-between minor and major. Erin and her new freind Simone(Tanisha Lynn) are also in the story, but I won't reveal their roles or anyone else's. Interviewer: We noticed that this story is not the usual Bradys vs. DiMeras, and instead Cassadines vs. DiMeras. Will the Brady's play much of a role? HW: Of course they will, but I can't reveal much. I wanted a new angle, powerful family vs. powerful family. Both are more lethal than what is injected into prisoners at executions. Bradys play a huge role, but alot of the focus will be on Helena and Stefano, with them caught in the middle. Of course, the Salem PD has to try to keep this under control, which means Bo, Abe, and Faux Roman/Allan. Also John, the real Roman. Meanwhile we have Gina Von Amberg on the loose, so as you can see the Salem PD is very busy, therefore will be frontburner. Interviewer: Ah yes, the royal Princess. Can you tell us how she is alive, and how she plays into all of this? HW: Oh you will have to watch for that, I can barely reveal anything, except two key words: Major drama. We haven't forgotten Shawn Douglas's murder, and is still something huge on LIS. Interviewer: So many Hortons have died....are you going to kill anymore? HW: Absolutely not. I promise you, no more Hortons are dying for a very long time. Three major family members are enough. Interviewer: That also brings an interesting question many fans probably are wanting to ask, what prompted you to kill off Alice Horton, the matriarch of the Horton family? HW: It was the Christmas episode on the real "Days of Our Lives" that brought it too mind. It wasn't a story point, it was to give this character and actress an exit she deserved, and the one I wrote wasn't even enough. Poor Frances Reid is so frail, and even though she was on "Days" last month and seemed well, still I feel she might not have much time left, unfortunately. I didn't want to do what was done with Tom, though they couldn't do anything else. I apologize to people who are upset or insulted by this, but it was to give this woman an exit she deserved, and she deserves much, much more, but this is the best I could do on such short notice, because I only had a bit less than two months to plan this out. And I hope all understand that, because many seemed to. I consulted one of my consultants about this a month and a half before I did it, and he said it sounded fantastic. So I went with it, and again hope all understand. Interviewer: Now what do you have for the reactions of Salem, especially the Hortons?” HW: All will be crushed, no one will be happy. This is a death that will rock all of Salem, and one that no one caused. Just one of age. The main person who I want to really make great drama for is Hope. All Hortons are close with Alice, but they have an unbreakable bond. So if anyone’s reaction that we will focus on the most, it will be Hope. Interviewer: It should be a big funeral, mind telling us what you have in mind? HW: Emotional drama. Many, many people of Salem will attend, and every single Horton will be back for it. All to pay their respects to a pillar of strength in Salem. So many tears will be shed, and I even want fans to cry. I am aiming for powerful, rich, emotional drama. Interviewer: So Alice’s death is a pure, old age death, correct? HW: Absolutely. I promise you this is for real, not some murder, and is just a peaceful death caused by old age. It has no ties whatsoever to “The War”, and is not a plot device. Interviewer: Just what the fans would want. HW: Exactly. Interviewer: Now, can you tell us what the relationship between Helena and Stefano will be like? HW: Well, Helena wants to take Stefano and the DiMeras down…mainly for her son. She believes he should control the DiMera empire, and Stefano is not ready to give up the throne. So there is tension, but deep down in Helena’s cold heart there is another reason, but that will be revealed in the story. But take note there are certain hints in my response to this question. Interviewer: Interesting. Now how will the heir be portrayed? HW: I am aiming for very dark. He is shown to have a heart where Sami is concerned…but a question is how long? He is after her, and the DiMera throne. I am trying to make sure I don’t make him get cocky, but a subtle man who wants everything. He has schemes already in motion. And also we will go into how EJ grew up, and also reveal more about him than fans know. Interviewer: Well, this was a very interesting and intriguing conversation. Thank you for giving fans some insights. HW: Anytime. Though I tried not to reveal too much, and this is only a sample of what’s to come. So keep tuning into “Life in Salem” when it returns.

It was hard enough to believe you killed off a person like Eric or even Austin, but SAMI?! I am not even sure how to react LOL I love it, though. You guys aren't afraid to kill off major characters like that so that's fantastic! And Roman's line at the end was just chilling. Wonderful, astonishing episode. Can't wait for Monday's!
