    ANNOUNCEMENT!

    Hi everyone. I know that there has been alot of sutff going on on this blog, such as looking for a Co HW, which I have not found. I also know that episodes have not been posted regularly, and the blog only has TWENTY EIGHT episodes posted, which is not good since the blog has been active since July.

    Nobody did the Co HW contest, therefore I am still in a hole and need help! I at least need help writing episodes, because I do not have enough time to post episodes regularly.

    Roman has given me an interesting idea, so I will try this, but in the meantime, I do have free time on my hands, so I can tell you that ALOT of episodes will be posted within the next few days!

    And, expect episodes to become shorter at times, because these lenngthly ones are the main problem.

    Anyways, stay tuned to Life in Salem!

    By daysfan,

    From LIS EP/HW Tara Smith:

    Ins & Outs

    By daysfan,

    Alot of cast changes have occured on LIS lately. Check out this latest update to see who is and who isn't still with LIS.

    IN:

    Jerry Ver Dorn(Clint Buchanon): The actor has brought his character Clint, Viki's ex-husband, to Salem. The stint is not permanant but he'll be on screen for a good amnount of time. "He'll have a huge role in the Viki/Nikki/Victor drama. And as we can see, Victor isn't his favorite person." Co-EP/HW Daysfan says

    Tyler Christopher(Nikolas Cassadine): "I give Jay credit for this." Daysfan said "He was the one who brought him on, something I didn't think of until he brought it up. Regardless, Nikolas will have a huge role in all this drama between the Cassadines and the DiMeras. He is Helena's grandson, after all, and until she came to Salem he was the main one she had to deal with."

    OUT:

    Andrea Hall-Gengler(Samantha Evans): "Everyone knows I love her so much and she has been on LIS since it's first month on SONBC, July of 2006, but she has no place on LIS with all thats going on. I planned a bit of a romance for her but it doesn't work at the moment and Sam is so crazy, I have done pretty much all I wanted her to do." Daysfan commented "She last aired on Episode#134, when she and Kristen were in jail. Sam will return later down the line, but for now don't expect to see her."

    Brandi Burkhardt(Erin Jade): "As viewers know, Erin has been tricking Max for something. However, a twist is coming for Erin, as her part in this story has ended. There is her odd "stalker"...but he will be dealt with fairly quickly and this ties into The War, slightly."
  4. daysfan
    LIS has some new people joining the cast! Apparently, Tanisha Lynn(ex-Dani, AMC) will be joining the cast as "Simone", a woman who will be freinds with Erin and play a key role in Erin's upcoming story! Look for her to start airing very soon!

    In other casting news, LIS is looking to cast Faux Roman/Allan (Josh Taylor) a family! "It's time for a new family. We were going to have that be Erin's but we scrapped it because it would be better to go with Faux Roman's family just because I have not been here for long." the headwriter comments. LIS is looking for an early twenties male, all though they already have one actor in mind but they are waiting, a mid/late twenties male and female. Apparently these are going to be Faux Roman's children! LIS would like readers help in deciding who to play who we just described.

    And, in other news, Sarah Buxton (Crystal Galore) is back on recurring! And, JANE ELLIOT, GH fame, is brining her character Tracy Quartermaine to Salem THIS VERY MONTH! She is on recurring as well, however.

    Also, Kimberlin Brown (ex-Sheila, Y&R) will be joining LIS as Stefano's new assassin/henchwoman! She is on recurring.

    Johnson Returns!

    By daysfan,

    AFTER A SEVEN YEAR ABSENCE FROM SALEM, JAY KENNETH JOHNSON RETURNS AS PHILIP KIRIAKIS!

    Philip Kiriakis is heading back to LIS...but this time, played by his most known and most loved portrayer, Jay Kenneth Johnson! Philip has been on LIS before, played by Kyle Brandt(2006-2007, 2008), but he was sent off after kidnapping and stalking Belle in 2007, going into a rage after the revelation that Claire was not his daughter, and only returning for one guest episode in 2008, when his father Victor visited him in prison. However, now, under the pen of new HW ML Cooks, Philip is heading back to Salem in the wake of his father's death! Johnson will reprise his role in the next several episodes, and he is here to stay!

    "One thing ML wants to do is re-establish family on LIS," Tara Smith explains "With all these cuts, and some more coming, the family aspect has really diminished, but he's going to change that. One important family in his vision is the Kiriakis's, and while we already have Justin and Bo on the cast, one very important element of the family is Philip. He will help lead the family now that Victor is gone. We're happy to have Jay back, and Philip will definitely be a central player on the show."

    Now, with Philip back, will he still have feelings for Belle? "Philip and Belle have alot of loose ends still left...and Belle's relationship with Nicholas will soon be on the ice, and Philip is alot more emotionally stable than the last time he was in Salem...you'll just have to stay tuned to see where it goes."

    Also, expect a few more announcements over the next few days and weeks!

    Kirsten OUT!

    By daysfan,

    It has been reported that Kirsten Storms, who was supposed to come back to Salem for the role of a brand new character was fired and the role was recasted.

    "I really do like Kirsten but the role I wanted needed to be more adult like person so I was sorry to fire her but it had to be done." the headwrite tells us

    And the role will be recasted with....



    AWARD WINNER BRANDI BURKHARDT, some know Burkhardt from the Soap Opera Passions where she played a mermaid named Siren but some others might know her from the many beauty pageants such as "Miss Teen USA".

    "I have always loved Brandi's acting so I offered her to come to Days and she was honoured and I will enjoy having her here as does Korday and the rest of the cast."

    Brandi has signed a long term contract with Days and the headwriter assures us that Brandi will not be going anywhere for quite some time.
  7. daysfan
    Yes that is right, Kirsten Storms is returning to Days but not to play Belle Black, she is returning as a totally different role that is a newcomer to Salem and wo;; be staying for quite some time and there is even a rumor circulating that this could be a start for a new family on Days.
    This is a contract role and is long term.

    By daysfan,

    Life in Salem has officially returned on SONBC!!! As viewers of all shows on SONBC well know, the network recently had technical issues which resulted with the whole network going off air, making all of it;s shows fall behind.

    Life in Salem's Airdate Schedule Changes!

    An important announcement has been made regarding "Life in Salem"! As the huge event, the "Secret Storm" has ended, LIS has reduced to only airing three days a week(Monday, Wednesday, Friday). As fans have no doubt noticed, from the Janurary-Feburary period it was scarce in airing episodes until the SS arrived. However now it can be confirmed that the SONBC soap shall only air three days per week.

    "Well, my partner and I just do have a hard time posting the episodes sometimes so that comes into play, but I assure the fans things will be fine. In fact, they probably got used to it not airing as much during a part of Winter." Co-EP/HW Tara Smith laughs

    The change shall be effective immediately.

    Downtown Salem

    Inside the fashion show building, many models continue to walk down the runway as photographers and some of the highest executives in Salem watch, the drama of the shooting calmed down now as Nicole has been rushed to the hospital. Belle stands behind the curtain at the back of the stage, readying herself to launch the new face of Bella Magazine.
    Belle
    I hope I can do this…all of Salem is going to be watching…and of all things my sister was just shot! I should be at the hospital with Mom, but I can’t leave Titan and Victor hanging.
    Announcer
    And now, the highly anticipated and long-waited for…re-launch of the famous Bella Magazine! The new face of Bella is its new lead model: Belle Black!
    Belle
    That’s my que…
    Belle then puts on a nice smile, still nervous on the inside, and she begins her walk down the runway. She puts her hands on her hips as photographers anxiously take pictures over and over, and she gives a wink at a few. Forrest and Billie closely watch, as do Victor and Justin at the other side of the room. Belle flips her hair and reaches the end of the runway, then turns around and continues to walk along the runway.
    Victor continues to watch and smirks, Bella Magazine finally being officially back.
    Victor
    Watch out, Alamain, because Titan has returned and its better than ever…

    Episode: 254, Bella’s Back!
    Written by Tara Smith

    Salem Police Station

    Bo is visiting Julie in her holding cell, and she is trying to plea with him to let her out for helping Hope when she was trying to hide the murder of Gina.
    Julie
    Bo, please, I’ve been in here long enough! You have to understand why I didn’t tell you about Hope in the beginning! She needed to do it herself, in her own time! And I didn’t expect her to get so out of hand, but in the end she did tell you, and I’m sure she will return! Hope is not the kind of woman, whether she is smoking those drugs or not, to leave you hanging!
    Bo
    Julie, she’s been missing for weeks. And if you had told me back when she confessed to you, she may have never started drinking, smoking, or never even left Salem.
    Julie
    I know why you are mad, I really do. And you should be, but I just want you to look at this from Hope’s point of view for a minute!
    Bo
    Hope and I are husband and wife, she should have trusted me, but she never did. Instead she sneaked off and killed Gina, then hid it for months. And now, I need her to come back so we can work this out. That is part of why I’ve put you in here.
    Julie
    What??
    Bo
    You deserved to be arrested, and believe me I was mad at you, but I was also using you as bait to get her back to Salem. If she didn’t get too far, she may have heard about it because how large this case has been, and its been hitting the news stands all over.
    Julie
    So I was just your pawn?!?!
    Bo
    No, you needed to be put in here, but it wasn’t the only reason why. And if you want me to be honest with you, you do have a chance of getting out eventually.
    Julie
    Thank goodness!!! I’m not happy about you using me, but at least I may be able to get out. I just pray Hope is alright, wherever she is.

    Bo and Hope’s House

    Hope slowly walks up to the doorway of her house, seeing no one else is around. She gently touches the door handle, evemn crying a little, wondering if this will be the last time she even visits her own house. She opens the door, peeking in. She sees Maggie with Pamela and Addie in her arms, also with Jan’s son, talking to herself.
    Maggie
    I hope Abe is alright…I only got to briefly see him last night, and he still hasn’t woken up…if only I could be there right now, but Mike has told me no and my family probably needs me right now too.
    Hope
    Aunt M-M-Maggie???
    Maggie’s eyes widen and looks to the doorway in shock, silently staring at her niece!!!
    Maggie
    OH MY…HOPE!!!!!
    Maggie jumps up and puts the twins down for a moment, then rushes and hugs Hope! Both of them finally let their tears pour out and just remain in their arms.
    Maggie
    You’re finally home…oh Hope, you’re finally home…

    Downtown Salem

    Belle is just finishing her runway walk, and goes back into the shadows, but not before blowing one last kiss at the audience. Many in the room clap as the show moves on to its next model, and Victor gives an approving nod to Justin. Across the room, Forrest and Billie still stand together.
    Billie
    Well, it looks like they’ve gotten themselves off to a good start. Belle’s been one of the best received models that we’ve seen today.
    Forrest
    True, but we still have our own, and many others. We’re not even that far into the show yet, so don’t worry.
    Billie
    Hey, where the heck is Valentine? She said she’d be late but I haven’t seen her since early this morning.
    Forrest
    Probably horsing around somewhere. She does need to be here but I can worry about her later. We need to watch Victor, Vivian, and that guy who looks like Victor’s new sidekick. He’s been with him this whole time, and I’ve heard over the past day or two that he’s gotten a new right hand man, maybe his nephew or something. But Victor is acting way too smug about his re-launch.
    Billie
    Victor’s not one to get too cocky, Forrest. I am not saying we should panic or anything, or that we don’t have a chance, but I think we really need to gain an edge and quick, because I’m sure he’s got much more than what we just saw. If we don’t stop him now, he’s going to get just what he wants: Alamain.

    Elsewhere, Valentine and Celeste are still in their small hallway while the fashion show goes on. Valentine files her nails a little as she waits for Peter, while Celeste watches her closely. Valentine looks up and sees Peter waiting for her off in the distance, and she smiles.
    Valentine
    Celeste, darrrrrrrling, excuse me for a minute, will you?
    Celeste
    Fine, if you insist, dahling.

    Valentine then walks away, and over to where Peter is. He sighs lightly as he looks on at Valentine.
    Valentine
    Glad you could show up. I hope you are ready for an eventful day, because I’ve got loads of work for you.
    Peter
    I can’t believe you are making me do this. Do you know what type of damage this could not only do to Vivian, but to me?
    Valentine
    You are a DiMera. You’ll rise again from the ashes! However poor Vivian is not that strong, so she’ll never rise again, not after this. And it really shouldn’t be that hard.
    Peter
    I’d suffer disgrace from all of Salem!
    Valentine
    Like that hasn’t happened before? Hello, Jungle Fever?!?!
    Peter
    That wasn’t my fault and you know it.
    Valentine
    Oh just quit your whining! Now you can either expose that one stormy night with the hag, or I can tell everyone about our many, many nights. Its your choice, but I hope you can make the right one.
    Peter, sighing again
    Okay, what do you want me to do?
    Valentine
    A little later, just wait for my signal. Trust me, you’ll know what it is when you hear it.
    Valentine then gives him one little pat on the chest and chuckles as she walks off, however not back to Celeste, and heads out into the main interior of the building as Celeste and Peter both wait…

    Belle returns to her dressing room, and Nicholas is soon to follow. She gives him a small smile, and he grins back at her.
    Nicholas
    You were great out there. Really amazing.
    Belle
    Shouldn’t that make you unhappy? Because technically we are rivals.
    Nicholas
    When it comes to you, who cares? I can’t hold back, and even with all that chaos we had earlier because of the shooting, you were stunning.
    Belle
    Yeah. I wish I could be down at the hospital, but I need to stay here for Titan and my sake. After all the deaths and near-deaths the last few years, it’d be hard to watch another.
    Nicholas
    You’re right about that. But maybe I can make you feel better…
    Belle and Nicholas then lean in to kiss, but suddenly Forrest and Billie walk up to the doorway of the dressing room!
    Forrest
    Making out with the enemy, Nicholas?
    Nicholas, pulling back from the kiss
    Uncle Forrest, you know Belle and I are in a relationship right now. Don’t start kicking up a problem about every single thing like Aunt Vivian did.
    Forrest
    I am not Vivian, but when we are in such dire straits, I do not approve of you always being with someone working directly for our top competitor. I don’t mind if you two are in a relationship, but don’t cling to each other every five minutes.
    Belle
    Excuse me?
    Forrest
    No offense, Belle, you are a very sweet girl but again you do work for Victor, and are the new face of Bella.
    Billie
    Forrest, are you sure you are not being just a little bit too harsh on them?
    Forrest
    In times like this, I have to be.
    Victor and Justin then walk in to congratulate Belle, however Victor scowls when he sees the Alamain’s inside.
    Victor
    What are you all doing here? You have no business with us.
    Forrest
    We were just leaving. By the way, Victor, congratulations on your launch of Bella Magazine.
    Victor
    Thank you. That reminds me: Forrest, Billie, Nicholas…we’ll all have to meet soon to discuss my buyout of Alamain.
    Forrest
    There won’t be any meeting, Victor: You haven’t bought all our stock yet and you aren’t going to.
    Billie
    I’m sure we can come to an agreement on all of this which will benefit both sides.
    Victor
    I am sorry but I am buying out Alamain, whether any of you like it or not. You all have been thorns in my side for too long, and Alamain does have some useful models that Bella could use.
    Billie
    Our company is almost flat broke, what could you possibly want with it besides several models?
    Victor
    Ohh Billie, my dear, you’ve been out of the fashion business for far too long. If I may be frank, my goals are none of your business.
    Forrest
    They are when you are messing with my family’s company.
    Victor, laughing
    It won’t be for long, son.
    Nicholas
    Could all of you stop for a few minutes, please? This is no better than when Aunt Vivian was still here!
    Justin
    I agree. Victor, Belle, I think we should go.
    Out of the blue, Valentine walks in, and looks around at everyone in the room. Victor glances at her and smiles, extending his hand.
    Victor
    Ah, you must be Valentine Heart, the new business executive at Alamain.
    Valentine
    Why yes, I am. And you must be the infamous Victor Kiriakis.
    Victor
    Indeed. I regret to inform you, Miss Heart, that you won’t be in the company for long…soon, I will be buying it out.
    Valentine
    Awww, that’s so sad…are you sure you want to put poor little me out of a job?
    Victor
    I’m sure you’ll find something else.
    Valentine
    Well maybe I could convince you to make a different decision…now come here, give your momma some sugar!
    With that, Valentine then jumps right onto Victor, pulling him into a kiss!!!

    Bo and Hope’s House

    Maggie and Hope sit down on the couch, and Hope holds her aunt’s hand.
    Maggie
    Hope, we all thought you’d never come back….Julie’s in jail, Bo has been searching and searching, and your twins have missed their mother.
    Hope, looking at Pamela and Addie as she slowly picks them up
    Oh…my daughters…I can hold my daughters again…
    Maggie
    Yes, you can…I think we’re all so happy to see you…you look like you’ve been through torture.
    Hope
    In some ways, I have been. Its too long to explain where I was and what happened.
    Maggie
    And I don’t care. Seeing you alive and well is enough.
    Hope, looking down at Jan’s son
    Who’s that?
    Maggie, smiling
    Hope…this is your new grandson.
    Hope gasps as Maggie picks the infant up, and shows him to Hope…she looks down on it and sobs some, remembering Shawn.
    Hope
    I can’t believe that I was so absorbed in what I did that I wasn’t able to find out my grandchild had been born…
    Maggie
    Well, hopefully that is in the past now…you have let everything go, haven’t you?
    Hope
    I’m making a true effort not to drink or smoke, and I got rid of my pipe…I want to put this whole thing in the past, but first I have to face Bo and the police.
    Maggie
    Unfortunately, yes. But now you have made a big step by just coming back, and soon, it will all be over.

    Downtown Salem

    Victor throws Valentine off of him, and she falls right onto the wall! She gets up and brushes herself off.
    Valentine
    Well! It was worth a shot though.
    Victor
    Miss Heart, I will not tolerate that. If you think sexually harassing me will help you and your family at all, you can think again.
    Forrest, intervening
    I am sorry for that…sudden move. Now, lets get serious, shall we?
    Victor
    There is nothing more to discuss. Now, leave my model’s dressing room. She has much more work to do during the show.
    Billie
    Fine, but we’ll meet again.
    Forrest, Billie, Valentine, and Nicholas all then walk out. Nicholas looks at Belle one last time before leaving, and she looks at Victor and Justin.
    Victor
    Now that that is over: Well done, Belle! You have proved yourself to be the true face of Bella, and from how that walk looked out there, we are off to a smashing start. Alamain will not pose a problem to us for much longer.
    Belle
    Thank you, I did my best, even with the family crisis. And hopefully I’ll do better when I go out there again later.
    Victor
    I am sure you will. And no matter how much I hate her, I give my best wishes to Nicole and your family.
    Belle
    Thanks.
    Justin
    Just keep pointing your head up like you have been, Belle, and everything in the business, and outside the business, will be fine.
    Justin and Victor then leave as Belle goes to get her next dress on…

    Bo and Hope’s House

    While Maggie is in the kitchen getting Hope something to drink, Hope walks around the living room, and she slowly walks over to a cabinet, and then pulls out …a bottle of alcohol! She looks at it, and is tempted to take a drink, and almost pops it open, but then she turns and tosses it into the trash! She takes one last look at it, remembering how much she has been drinking the past several months, and then hears someone walk in…she turns around to see Bo!
  11. daysfan
    Bo and Hope’s House

    Hope looks at Bo, seeing her husband for the first time in over a month. Bo is astonished, almost not believing what he’s seeing. He slowly walks towards her, and she stands perfectly still.
    Bo
    Hope…is it…really you?
    Hope
    Yes…Bo, its me…the real me.
    Bo
    I was beginning to think that you were gone for…good.
    Hope
    At one point, I…thought that to, and intended on it. But speaking to someone made me realize that…I needed to come back. I’ve been preparing myself for this moment: I’m turning myself in.
    Bo
    We’re not going down there yet…I don’t know if I even can right now, we need to talk first, and I mean really talk.
    Hope
    I know, I know. Listen, Brady: I’m sorry. I’m sorry for running off like I did, I’m sorry I kept the secret from you, I’m sorry at how much I had outbursts.
    Bo
    This time, I don’t think an apology can cut it, Fancy Face. I mean, I just want my wife back…I haven’t seen my wife in a long long time. And you killed a woman, you hid it, you became an alcoholic.
    Hope
    I stopped smoking all that crack, I got rid of the pipe and all that I had left on my way back to Salem, as hard as it was at first. I’m trying to stop drinking, which is harder but I’m trying. And I am still getting over Shawn’s death, because right after I got over Zack’s death then he died and…our lives have been horrible.
    Bo
    Are you?? Are you really trying to stop? Or is this just another lie? And believe me, I’m still trying to get over the fact that our boys are gone, and I haven’t been myself since then either. But you…you’ve turned into a whole other person.
    Hope
    I realized that in my time on the run. And I came back so I could become the real me again…and face the consequences. I know you’re going to have to arrest me, so lets get it over with now, so its not any harder on the both of us than it already is.

    Episode: 255, Alamain Conflict
    Written by Tara Smith

    Downtown Salem

    At the fashion show, Elvis and the Mysterious Person are still inside the figure’s office.
    Elvis
    I can’t believe you didn’t call this whole thing off when Nicole was shot.
    Mysterious Person
    Elvis, you must be going soft. Nicole is nothing to call my grand show off for.
    Elvis
    I guess, you may be right. It just seems odd…but then again this is your supposed master plan.
    Mysterious Person
    Just watch and learn. The best is yet to come. I have something huge in store for this town. All of these businesses will be rocked to their core.

    Across the building, Forrest pulls all of the Alamains and Billie into a private room, and shuts the door and locks it.
    Forrest
    That’s it. I’m calling an emergency meeting right here, right now.
    Valentine
    What is it, Forrest?? I have bigger things to take care of!
    Forrest
    No, no you don’t. I said this before, and I’ll say it again: its time to get serious, Valentine. And you too, Nicholas. If we want to save our company, and our entire fortune and name, we are going to have to stop horsing around and get to it. We’re making it way too easy for Victor to snatch Alamain away from us.
    Nicholas
    And look who’s talking! You were out their sucking on Billie’s neck only a couple of hours ago!
    Forrest
    But I was able to get ahold of myself. You and Valentine both have sexually come on to people who we are against, and especially you, Nicholas. You’re not doing us any good at all by trying to have sex with her! But then again, I shouldn’t expect anything less. I’ve heard about you and Kate, all those years ago.
    Nicholas
    Would you shut up? This is no better than Aunt Vivian was here!
    Valentine
    I only kissed that Kiriakis guy because I thought it might help us keep the company! And Nicholas, why do you have to mention that old bag?
    Forrest
    Because YOU won’t let it get better. You continue to act cocky and stupid. And Valentine, that’s not the way you handle things in this business, damnit. I can fire you as easily as I hired you.
    Nicholas
    So now you’re blaming me for Alamain’s problems? You are really starting to show your true colors, Uncle Forrest. You want control of the company but when it starts to fall apart you always blame someone else. First it was Aunt Vivian, now me. I’m really starting to wonder why I even tried to help Alamain to begin with.
    Forrest
    Maybe I keep blaming my family because its always my family’s fault! Vivian was a manipulative witch, Lawrence won’t show his face, and now you and Valentine want to romantically engage with Victor and Belle, our top enemies.
    Valentine
    It was a one time kiss! Won’t you listen when I tell you I did it for you?!
    Billie
    That’s it, I’ve kept quiet long enough! Everyone needs to shut up and get a grip. And I mean everyone. Even you, Forrest.

    Bo and Hope’s House
    Bo walks towards Hope, half shocked at what she just said.
    Bo
    So, you really have changed, haven’t you? But you can’t expect me to just arrest you on the spot, I’m not that cold, Hope.
    Hope
    Oh Bo, I know. But I just want to get it over with. Because what more is there to talk about?? And we’re just going to make this harder every minute that goes by.
    Bo
    I was ready to do it back before you went on the run, but now, just seeing how you may have really changed for the better…I don’t know, I’m not sure if I can do it.
    Hope
    But Brady, you’re going to have to. Just please, do it! I’ve accepted the fact that things can never be completely happy with us again after all of this, and I know you know it, too. I see it in your eyes that you haven’t completely forgiven me for all of this.
    Bo
    That’s another thing I can’t do, Fancy Face…its going to take awhile…I mean you still killed Gina and lashed out and kept it all from me. But at the same time, I’m so proud of you. You came back, you really came back…and you remind me of the wife I actually love, not the wife I had a few months ago.
    Hope
    I understand, Bo, I do. And whatever you all do with me, I am going to try to get better. I promie you.
    Maggie walks out of the kitchen, but she gasps slightly to see Bo and Hope together and talking, and quickly goes back into the kitchen to give them some privacy.
    Hope
    Just please believe me when I say I want to get better, and am going to try and am trying.
    Bo
    And I’m going to try to believe you…its hard, after how much you lied, but I…will…try.

    Downtown Salem

    At the fashion show, Celeste walks up to Victor, who is sitting alone in one of the empty rooms. He is drinking a glass of champagne to celebrate the launch of Bella. He looks up to see Celeste.
    Victor
    Ahh, Celeste…just in time. I was wondering where you were earlier. Belle was wonderful. Titan has returned strong.
    Celeste
    I’m sure, dahling. It is just excellen, you have done so well. It is such a shame I didn’t get to know you before this.
    Victor
    No, it’s a shame I didn’t get to know you before this. However, I’m happy that I know you now. And the future is much brighter than it has been in a long time.
    Celeste
    That is oh too true…Victor, I have a question for you.
    Victor
    Yes?
    Celeste
    This small relationship that we have had over the past several months…are you serious about it?
    Victor
    What do you mean? Of course I am. You have no reason to doubt me.
    Celeste
    I know, dahling, I know…its just it feels like you and I only barely talk, and have dinner once every several weeks. And I know that recently before you and I began seeing each other, you were with that other woman…Victoria Lord.
    Victor
    Viki? Yes, I will admit that I still did have feelings for her for some time. But she left me. I got over her through you. You have no reason to even think about her now. Now the only one I even think about romantically is you.
    Celeste
    Dahling, I am so sorry for bringing this up, but it just seems like you are always in some type of entanglement with Alamain, or dealing with your ex-wife.
    Victor
    Oh, that’s what this is about, isn’t it? Its not about Viki, or even me being busy. Its about Vivian Alamain, a woman I never even loved.
    Celeste
    You must understand, Victor. Vivian is always around us, or you, or even me…just lurking. Always trying to take out everyone who gets in her way of getting to you! Just the other day she was trying to get into Titan, and you let her come here!
    Victor
    Celeste, again, I have absolutely no intention of letting that gold-digger into Alamain. I just let her come here to stop her ramblings. You don’t need to be concerned about her, she can do absolutely nothing to our relationship.
    Celeste, sighing
    Fine, Dahling. I do understand and will believe you.
    Victor
    I don’t think you do, but alas, I cannot fix that. Unfortunately, this was only a momentarily break I could take. I must get back out into the stage area.
    Victor then stands up and walks out, but not before kissing Celeste. She watches as he leaves, and once again sighs…


    Back in the private room that the Alamains are in, everyone looks in shock at Billie shouting at them.
    Billie
    Now listen, I haven’t even been working here long and I’m already getting sick of this inside fighting. Do you guys just not know how to be a family?! All I ever see when I’m around all of you at once is fighting! And if you want Alamain to be successful and live on, then you have to learn to work together.
    Forrest
    And Billie, you know that I’m trying! I have to lead this business, but I can’t if they keep acting like this! Nicholas has a girlfriend who’s one of our top problems, and Valentine isn’t taking any of this seriously!
    Billie
    Look, I see your point, but who cares if he is dating her?! Its not like he’s feeding her some type of private information, and if you don’t understand that, then you ARE just like Vivian! You should know how it feels to be constantly harassed for who you are with.
    Forrest
    I’m not harassing him, damnit!
    Nicholas
    Maybe not yet, but I know that you will be. I can just see it in your eyes. I really thought you’d be better, but the minute that you finally get what you want, you start acting like a jackass.
    Forrest
    That’s it. Get out. You will never speak to me like that, do you understand?
    Billie, interrupting
    No, Forrest, I’ll leave. Because obviously none of you know what teamwork means, and it makes me wonder if this business should be sold to Victor.
    Billie then stomps out of the room, and Forrest sighs and calls for her to come back, and when she doesn’t, he runs after her himself. Valentine simply shrugs as she leaves the room, while Nicholas rubs his temples, stressed out by all of this nonsense.

    Valentine walks along the halls, and bumps right into Celeste. Celeste jumps, but then sees its Valentine. She rolls her eyes slightly before speaking.
    Celeste
    Oh, its only you.
    Valentine
    Yes, it is me. And I think its time we put our plan into action before anymore crazy things happen around here.
    Celeste
    Yes, I agree, dahling. Its time for Vivian Alamain to fall, because she will not ruin my happiness. She almost gotten in my way once, and she won’t do it again.
    Valentine
    Oh, that’s right she won’t. This will be such a huge blow to her, Celeste, I promise you that she’ll be stuck in the gutter forever. Right where she belongs.
    Celeste
    Exactly. I am sure she will never take anything from either of us after this, if what you say you have in store for so big.
    Valentine
    Indeed I do! Again, just trust me.
    Celeste
    Unfortunately, I will have to. Now lets go.
    Valentine then turns with a laugh, and she and Celeste set off. They head towards the stage area, both of them hell bent on destroying the great Vivian Alamain…
  12. daysfan
    Downtown Salem

    Forrest, Billie, Nicholas, Victor, Vivian, Belle, Peter, and Elvis are stop what they are doing as they hear a familiar woman’s voice over the loud peaker system.
    “Everyone, yes may I have your attetion. We interrupt your programming for an exclusive expose on one of Salem’s oldest and dumbest hags.” Val looks at Celetse and nods her head, giving the signal to press play on the tape recorder, which Celeste does.
    The tape contains a confession from Vivian Alamin to Ivan about all her crimes. Everyone hears:

    Ivan asks Vivian how she did all of what she did. Vivian explains to Ivan that it all started when she arrived in town back in June, she says she had been watching everyone, and she wanted Victor back and revenge on Kate. She then tells Ivan she thought that if she made Victor’s family happy, he would be happy and fall back in love with her. She then tells him that is why she interfered in the lives of Bo, Hope, Billie, Patrick, Shawn, and others. She also says she went after Kate’s family to get revenge on Kate. She says she woke Jan up from her coma because she knew Shawn would never be happy with Mimi, Chelsea was Kate’s grandaughter so that is why she stabbed her, and she poisoned Caroline because Caroline secretly still loved Victor, and finally attacked Kate at John and Marlena's wedding.

    Vivian is stunned beyond words.
    “You dirty Bitch. You Show your face now Valentine!” Celeste and Valentine walk out in the crowd with smirks on their faces.
    Victor
    “I can’t beleive what I am hearing.” He looks at Celeste
    “I know Vivian is not your favorite person but that gives you no right to get revenge on her through me. I had a lot riding on this fahion and you and your 2nd rate lounge act pal here just turned this into a cheap circus.”
    Celeste gulps, and looks away slightly disappointed in herself for hurting Victor this way as she really never thought of Victor in this expose.
    Vivian
    “I can’t belive my own sister did this to me.”
    Victor
    “And I can’t belive you did all these things. You are sick woman. Your pathetic and just a waste of space. You need help. You’re a luntic Vivian Alamain. From stealing Kate’s egg to causing my family mayhem all to be with me. Security, get her out of here. Better yet, call up Bo Brady so she can be arrested.”

    Episode 256: Exposed!
    Written by ML Cooks & Tara Smith

    Downtown Salem

    In the stage room, chaos erupts as Vivian has been exposed for all her crimes. Valentine stands up on the stage itself, and looks out on the crowd.
    Valentine
    Everyone, I really am sorry for what my sister has done! However, she is really a malicious, spineless woman! She stole Kate Robert’s eggs many years ago so she could carry Kate’s baby with Victor! She buried poor Carly Manning alive! And now, she has done all of this!
    Billie, pushing her way through the crowd and looking at Vivian
    You….you were the one who STABBED MY DAUGHTER?!?!!? That person I searched months for…it was you?! Because of you, my relationship her will never be the same again! All because of you!!!
    Forrest, running up to Billie
    Please, Billie, calm down. What my aunt did was wrong but-
    Billie
    Stay out of this, Forrest! Its between Vivian and me now!
    Vivian
    Oh please, Billie, that was a long time ago…and it was for Bo’s sake! Your daughter was nothing to brag about anyway!
    Billie punches Vivian in the face, and Vivian falls to the ground as Valentine laughs. Billie grabs ahold of Vivian by the collar.
    Billie
    I am so sick of you tormenting my family! You’ve gone way too far this time!
    Billie punches Vivian again, and pulls on her hair while Forrest struggles to try to pull her back!

    Elvis and the Mysterious Person watch in their private office, and the Mysterious Person drops their glass.
    Mysterious Person
    I…can’t believe this. This is such a shock and devastation, but at the same time, I love it…Vivian Alamain is finally going to fall! Kill her, Billie!
    Elvis
    You’re really going to just sit by and watch? I may be cold but your whole plan is going to be ruined if you don’t stop it somehow.
    Mysterious Person
    Actually, this makes it even better for when I get out there and reveal myself to them all. Poor Vivian won’t know what hit her.

    DiMera Mansion

    Megan walks into the DiMera Mansion, where her father is pacing in the living room.
    Megan
    Father, is something wrong?
    Stefano, looking up
    Oh, no, Golden Girl. I just am still taking in all of what has happened to this town in my absence, however it should be easy to re-take it now that it is in complete shambles.
    Megan
    Very true, however, I have other bad news: Hope Brady is back. Father, I want her gone! I want her dead! Chopped into pieces! I don’t care how it happens but she must die, and I need your help.
    Stefano
    No no, Megan, Hope has destroyed herself, and I would not dare let you make another attempt on her life after what happened in 1985.
    Megan, taking a knife out and fiddling with it
    That was a long time ago, I’m smarter and more experienced now.
    Stefano
    Perhaps, but still, I will not lose you again. Now, I have heard about how Hope murdered Princess Gina Von Amberg, also known as Britta Englund, back in Italy when I was feuding with Helena Cassadine.
    Megan
    Yes, yes, and she’s been on a downward spiral ever since, especially after she told Bo.
    Stefano
    Hope will go to jail for what she’s done, possibly even executed. There is nothing to worry about, daughter!
    Megan
    As much as I love Bo, he’s head over heels for Hope, and one of the most respected police officers in this town. He’ll get her out of it somehow.
    Stefano
    Ahh, but who’s to say he even forgives Hope for what she’s pulled? And remember, he’s a Brady, we are DiMeras! We have more power over this town, and I will make sure that Hope is sentenced to a long long time in jail.
    Megan
    Excellent…Saint Hope will finally be in the slammer, and Bo will be mine for the taking…along with this entire town!
    Stefano
    Exactly. Our reign has come.
    Unknown to both of them, Kristen is watching and listening from the staircase…

    Downtown Salem

    Forrest rips Billie off of Vivian, and holds her back as Vivian angrily stands up, and both of them breathe heavily.
    Forrest
    Billie, just calm down! You are only going to make it worse by attacking her!
    Billie
    Oh please! Somebody call Bo, he’ll want to know who stabbed his daughter! He’ll take her to the station! Just GET RID OF HER!!!!
    Vivian
    You can never get rid of me! I don’t care how many times I am exposed, no one can stop me!
    Valentine
    Sorry, dear sister! I’m afraid, there’s more horrible dirt that I got an…exclusive source to spill! You know who you are, and you may come out now! Tell us all what you know about Vivian Alamain!
    Peter, in disgust, walks out of the shadows, and all of the guests in the room turn to see him!
    Victor
    Peter Blake? What the hell does he have to do with Vivian?
    Celeste, looking at Valentine
    This wasn’t part of our plan! Valentine, we must stop this madness, we’ve done enough!
    Valentine, ignoring Celeste
    You’d be surprised! Now Peter, tell everyone what you have on my wonderful sister.
    Vivian, rushing up to Peter
    No…no…you can’t do this…whatever Valentine’s paying you, I’ll double it. But don’t make this worse.
    Peter
    You think I want to? I’m sorry, but I have to…
    Vivian, as Peter tries to speak she grabs his arm
    NO! You’ll regret this, I promise!
    Peter
    When there was a storm a few months ago, Vivian and I were trapped together in one of the bedrooms at my mansion…and while we were trapped…we had a one night stand.
    Many gasps are heard in the room, even from Celeste. Vivian’s eyes widen, and her nails go into Peter’s chin, giving him huge scratches as she manages to throw him back, furious.
    Vivian
    You little…oh I’ll deal with you later!
    Vivian turns to Valentine on the stage, and screams out as she tackles her younger sister, and begins to rip her apart, literally!

    Downtown Salem



    At the fashion show, Vivian has Valentine pinned to the ground, and is literally ripping her apart! Valentine screams for help, and Celeste tries to stop Vivian, however Vivian angrily stands and elbows Celeste in the stomach and pushes her off the stage! Celeste lies on the ground, hurt, and Victor rushes to her side.

    Victor

    Oh, Celeste! Are you alright?!

    Celeste does not respond, while Valentine kicks Vivian away, and tries to stand up to run, but Vivian grabs her by the hair and swings her around, tossing her towards the wall! The guests gasp and scream in shock as many begin to dial 911, and Vivian grabs Valentine by the neck after Valentine hit’s the wall, and starts to choke her!

    Vivian, as Valentine is gasping for air

    You’ve destroyed me, so I’ll kill you!

    Episode: 257, Vivian vs. Valentine
    Written by: Tara Smith



    Downtown Salem



    Back in the Mysterious Person and Elvis’s office above the stage and at the top of the building, they continue to watch all the havoc in the stage room.

    Elvis

    Wow, I didn’t think you’d be able to cause this much hell to break loose in one day. I’m almost impressed.

    Mysterious Person, laughing

    Didn’t think anyone could match up to your big powerful family, did you? Well, I told you this would be a day to remember, and from Nicole being shot to Vivian going absolutely nuts, it certainly is.

    Elvis

    Yeah, I just wonder what Father will think about all this…



    At the stage, Vivian continues to strangle Valentine while screaming at her.

    Vivian

    You just love screwing up my life, don’t you?! Helping that bastard nephew of mine get me out of Alamain, constantly taunting me, and now this! Well I’m going to make sure that this is the last time you will ever mess with me…you should never have come back to Salem!

    Others rush over to try to pull Vivian away from Valentine, including Nicholas, but Vivian herself shoves them away. Nicholas keeps at it and finally gets a good grip on her, and Vivian releases Valentine, as Valentine gasps for air.

    Valentine

    You…you…it will be the last time I mess with…you…because I’m going to make sure…that this is…your last stand!

    Valentine darts towards Vivian and Nicholas, and SHOVES Vivian down hard, the force so powerful that it even knocks her out of Nicholas’s grasp! Valentine pins Vivian to the ground, much like what Vivian did to her minutes ago, but Vivian throws Valentine right off of her, and she stands and slugs Valentine right across the face! Valentine grabs ahold of Vivian’s arm and digs her nails right into it, scratching Vivian badly, and the fight just continues.



    Salem University Hospital



    Maggie is sitting at Abe’s bedside, after leaving Bo and Hope’s house to give them some time together, and Abe has only been conscious several times In the past few days, however right now he is awake and Maggie is clutching his hand tightly.

    Abe, talking slowly

    Thank…you, so much…for taking care of me.

    Maggie

    What do you expect me to do? You’ve been a great friend the past several months, and it’s the least I can do, and I want you to get through this, I really do. I mean, Mike is already on getting you the best treatment anyone could have.

    Abe

    You…don’t have to do all this.

    Maggie

    You’re right, I don’t, but I want to. I wasn’t able to cure my husband’s heart disease in time of his death, I won’t let one of my best friends die.

    Abe

    I…think you are too kind, Maggie.

    Maggie

    Nonsense. You deserve this, and so much more.

    Abe

    So, do they know when I should leave the hospital? I need to get back to my job.

    Maggie

    Mike’s not sure yet, he’s still running a lot of tests. But don’t worry, everything’s going to be fine, and so is the PD, because I don’t think you will be able to go back for some time, while you are healing.

    Abe

    The town needs me.

    Maggie

    They will do fine without you. Listen, please excuse me, I’ll be right back.

    Abe nods slowly as he closes his eyes, and she leaves the room, and once outside she closes her eyes in dissappointment, knowing that Abe is depressed because he lost custody of Theo.

    Maggie

    I just need…something to cheer him up…I can’t let him get too depressed.



    Downtown Salem



    Inside the Mysterious Person and Elvis’s office, they continue to watch the huge and intense catfight, shocked at how much Vivian and Valentine are tearing into each other.

    Mysterious Person

    Well, I think its time I got out there…not much else that I was waiting for anyway, and my surprise will be ruined if one of them kill the other.

    Elvis, taking a deep breath

    Alright, do your thing, I guess. I’ll wait here and watch, because I don’t think there’s anything I can do at this point.

    Mysterious Person

    If you insist…well, Salem, its finally time for my dazzling return!

    The Mysterious Person stands and walks out of the room, while Elvis rubs his temples.

    Elvis

    Oh, if all of you out there thought that what Vivian did would shatter everything…wait till you see this.



    On the stage, Vivian and Valentine enter into an intense struggle, each of them having a strong grip of their arms, and Forrest and Nicholas continue to try to pull them apart, but it does no good. As they practically twirl around the room, they eventually trip and fall right down onto the end of the stage!!! Then, out of the blue, the Announcer’s voice is heard.

    Announcer

    And now, the final model of the evening…the thought-late, great….KATE ROBERTS!

    EVERYONE in the room, including Valentine and Vivian, suddenly look up at hearing the words “Kate Roberts”, who was thought to have died in Italy many months ago. Kate herself, in a huge fancy dress, comes strolling down the runway!!

    Kate, stopping at Valentine and Vivian

    Sorry, ladies, but…I’m back, and better than ever.

    Kate grins as she stares at Vivian’s completely horrified face…

  14. daysfan
    Downtown Salem



    Chaos erupts as it is revealed that Kate Roberts is alive and well! Billie’s face pales, and she screams in horror! Kate’s eyes shift from Vivian to Billie, and she kicks Valentine and Vivian out of her way as she walks off of the stage.

    Kate

    Move! I need to see my daughter!

    Billie

    This has gotta be a trick…a dream…a nightmare…no…I saw YOUR BODY! I buried you!

    Kate

    Billie, it is me. Your mother. That bastard Tony DiMera tried to kill me, but I’m alive and well. I survived! I hope all of you hear that, KATE ROBERTS SURVIVED! I was saved by a few individuals, who I probably shouldn’t tell you about, just in time. I don’t know what was put in my casket.

    Billie, shaking

    This can’t be…its impossible!!!

    Billie then, from exhaustion and shock, faints but is caught by Forrest in time.

    Forrest

    This is a trick! Something my aunt concocted to frighten us all!

    Kate, laughing and motioning to Vivian

    Does that look like the face of a woman who could be behind this?! And NO ONE can duplicate me. I’m the one and the only Kate. And since I am, I hope all of you are ready to let the true games begin! Because now that I am back, I WILL be getting back into the fashion business, and I won’t be kind.

    Written by: Tara Smith



    Downtown Salem



    At the fashion show, so many are still in shock over Kate being alive. Victor gets up from being at Celeste’s side and stomps over to Kate.

    Victor

    This is absurd! Tony’s alternate personality shot you and you were declared dead at the DiMera Palace in Italy.

    Kate

    Oh please, Victor, this is Salem. Very few people have ever actually died.

    Victor

    I can’t believe this. How could you even have survived a gun wound long enough to be secretly taken and saved?

    Kate

    Well, I believe it was shortly after I was carted off, but of course how can you expect me to remember?

    Victor

    I want a DNA test! I have to know you are Kate!

    Kate

    I already have one for you-

    Sirens are heard, and suddenly many paramedics and police officers rush in from all of the 911 calls when Vivian and Valentine were fighting. Some people even begin to get evacuated from the building, and Valentine snaps out of all that’s happened to finally speak.

    Valentine, pointing to Vivian

    Oh, officers! She’s right here! The woman who did all of those criminal acts around Salem and attacked me just now!

    Forrest and Nicholas both give a confirming nod at the officers, and they rush and pull Vivian up. Vivian stares at Kate, trying to recover from the shock.

    Vivian

    You….if its really you…you’ll regret this…

    Kate

    What the hell did I do?

    Vivian

    You organized this whole thing…you must have…oh, ALL of you will pay! That includes you, Valentine! And you too, Celeste! And Peter as well! You haven’t seen the last of me!

    Vivian is dragged out of the stage room, and Valentine and Celeste are taken to get checked out by the paramedics.



    Bo and Hope’s House



    Bo leans on the wall, watching Hope closely while she holds and plays with Pamela and Addie. He walks over and sits down with her.

    Bo

    So, how you doing?

    Hope

    I’m glad to be back home, I guess, and with my daughters…even though I know that won’t last for long.

    Bo, sighing

    Yeah, I know…

    Hope looks at Bo, and slowly rests her head on his chest, while his fingers run through her hair. A few tears come out of his eyes, and she breaks out in tears, both of them knowing what is coming.



    Downtown Salem



    Outside of the fashion show, Valentine and Celeste are both on stretchers, getting checked out. Celeste slowly awakens, and looks around.

    Celeste

    Dahling, what is going on?

    Valentine

    Well, that ravagous sister of mine mauled me! But not to worry, she’s finally been arrested, and put right where she belongs. Oh, and Kate Roberts is alive.

    Celeste

    My cards told me of this. I should be shocked, but I’m really not and do not care. However, I am glad that Vivian Alamain is finally gone. She was too much of a problem to me.

    Valentine

    Well, not anymore! Ding Dong the witch is gone.

    Paramedic, interrupting

    Well, Miss Heart, I think any injuries you sustained were minor. You are free to go.

    Valentine

    Oh, why thank you ever so much!!!

    Valentine stands and then looks at Celeste.

    Valentine

    It was very enjoyable working with you, Celeste Perrault. I’ll call you again if I need anything. Ta Ta!

    Valentine walks away as Celeste rolls her eyes at Valentine simply kicking her to the curb, but does not care now that Vivian is in jail.



    Inside, Elvis walks up to Peter, who is looking around the empty stage.

    Peter

    What are you doing here???

    Elvis

    Nothing you need to know about. Now come on, lets get out of here before anything else happens. We’ve got bigger things to take care of. I don’t think Father needs us worrying about the Alamains or Kiriakis’s so much.

    Peter

    I’m with you there. I have gotten so sick of all of them.

    Elvis

    Now that this sham is over with, we should be done with them. Lets go.

    Peter nods in agreement and both then leave, heading back to the DiMera Mansion.



    Back outside, Forrest walks up to Kate.

    Forrest

    Okay, how much did Vivian pay you? Because I can double it for you to confess.

    Kate

    For the last time, I am the actual Kate Roberts! Here, look at these DNA results, privately conducted by Salem University Hospital!

    Kate pulls out the results of a DNA test, and gives it to Forrest for him to look over.

    Forrest

    Fine, but I’m going to have these checked to see how legitimate they are.

    Kate

    As you wish, but don’t use up too much money. I’ve been watching the business world for quite some time now, and I know you are about to be taken over by Victor. That’s why I’ve returned to reclaim my position in Alamain.

    Forrest

    Billie has filled that position now.

    Kate

    Fine, then I’ll take the place of Valentine Heart. You can kick her out and re-hire me.

    Forrest

    Excuse me? I just hired Valentine a week or two ago.

    Kate

    Forrest, I have been watching everything happen during this show, and Valentine has not demonstrated any potential to be an efficient executive. You kicked out one of your aunt’s, you can easily do the same to another. And I’d recommend it. You need someone to help you fight Titan, and I used to be married to Victor, and unlike Vivian I am sane. I know how Victor thinks. You and I worked together last year, we can work together again.

    Forrest

    Fine, I’ll see what I can do…once I find out if you are really Kate or not. Then we’ll see.

    Kate, as Forrest walks away

    I guess we will.

    Kate then walks over to where Billie is lying, still unconscious, and looks down at her daughter…



    Bo and Hope’s House



    Bo and Hope sit for a long time, simply holding each other, and Bo is in deep thought, going back and forth on what to do, and what he should and needs to do. Slowly, Hope sits up, and looks at him.

    Bo

    Fancy Face, I…

    Hope

    Yes, what is it?

    Bo

    I think…its time.

    Hope is, like Bo was a moment ago, very silent as a few more tears came out, before taking a deep breath.

    Hope
    I…guess you’re right. I’m not going to run this time, I’m going to face the consequences.
    Bo
    Good…and I’m proud of you for that, Hope. As much pain as I am in right now, I am.
    Bo then stands, and begins to sob himself although he tries to keep it hidden from Hope’s view, and grabs handcuffs off of the table, and turns to Hope.
    Bo
    Hope Brady, you are under arrest…
  15. daysfan
    Salem Police Station

    Bo has Hope down at the police station, and she is being booked right now. She and Bo stare at each other before he looks away, and Hope stars down towards the floor, knowing whats happening between her and Bo. She shakes as a few officers walk up to her, and grab ahold of her arms.
    Officer
    Alright, Mrs. Brady, we’ll take you down to the holding area…your sister is down there, too.
    Hope, nodding
    Please don’t throw her in prison, please…I pulled her into this.
    Officer
    That’s up to Judge Fitzpatrick, there’s nothing we can do. Now lets go.
    Hope
    Wait, can I have a few moments with my husband. Please?
    Bo
    Yeah, we need to talk first.
    The officers nod and back away for a moment, and Hope looks up at Bo, once again looking into each other’s eyes.
    Hope, sniffing
    Well…I guess this is the end, Brady.
    Bo
    Hey, what are you saying? Its not the end yet, Hope.
    Hope
    Don’t lie to yourself. You know this is the end, whether I get the death sentence or not.
    Bo
    You won’t get the death sentence, I won’t let it happen!
    Hope
    Please, Bo…just stop…I realized something today, something very important, and you know it too…
    Hope turns around and gives another nod to the officers, and they drag Hope away while Bo watches, and contemplates what she said…

    DiMera Mansion

    In the living room, Stefano is drinking a glass of champagne as the TV is on one of the local news stations, and Renee and Kristen are with him while he watches.
    News Reporter
    And the latest update on the breaking news downtown is that famed fashion designer, Kate Roberts, is alive and well after thought killed by Tony DiMera in Italy in October of last year…exactly how she is alive is still being investigated.
    Stefano, looking at Renee
    She had better not screw up any of our plans, or it will be on your head.
    Renee
    Don’t worry, I’m sure she’ll stay under control.
    News Reporter
    And Vivian Alamain has been arrested after she was revealed to be behind many of the crimes that swept Salem in mid-2006, and is being transported to the Salem PD Station as we speak. She also is being charged with assault after she attacked Valentine Heart and Celeste Perrault. Miss Alamain has committed crimes before in Salem, but was never successfully put in prison.
    Stefano, grinning
    Ah, perfect…
    Kristen
    What?
    Stefano
    Oh, nothing, my dear.
    News Reporter
    And finally, we have an update on the shooting of Nicole Walker hours ago at the same fashion show. She is said to be in stable condition, and in the process of coming out of her coma, while the search for her shooter continues. Miss Walker’s parents, Tony DiMera and Marlena Evans, were the ones who found her unconscious in her dressing room, and quickly called paramedics.
    Stefano, dropping his drink
    Tony…and Marlena….?
    Renee
    Father, father, calm down…I can explain it all…
    Kristen
    You explain this to him…I don’t want to talk about that disgusting pig of a man: Tony.
    Kristen walks out of the room, and Stefano falls onto the couch in shock.
    Stefano
    This must be a trick…Tony and Marlena never had a child!
    Renee
    You didn’t know? I assumed since Marlena was in your captivity at the time you’d-
    Stefano
    They never were together! NEVER! The only child Tony has ever had was with you!

    Downtown Salem

    Outside of the fashion show building, Kate looks at her unconscious daughter and sighs, shaking her head.
    Kate
    Don’t worry, Billie, once you wake up I’ll explain everything to you.
    Victor, walking up to Kate
    Time for some answers. Who the hell are you and why are you impersonating a dead woman?
    Kate
    Victor, please! You came back from the dead once, remember?! Everyone thought you were dead for a year and a half after Nicole and Jan Spears electrocuted you, but you came back! And I was only “dead” for six or seven months.
    Victor
    Yes, that’s true, but its too coincidental. I could see it easily being something Vivian concocted to get back at all of us.
    Kate
    Vivian had nothing to do with this, thank goodness! She’s going to be rotting in jail soon anyway! For the last time, I am Kate Roberts! I am Kate Roberts Reed Kiriakis Brady! Well, whatever Roman, er Allan’s, last name was.
    Victor
    Give me the DNA Test results you said you had. I am going to make sure they are accurate.
    Kate, taking out several papers
    Fine, here you are.
    Victor
    For now, you’re staying in the Kiriakis Mansion, where I can keep a close eye on you.
    Kate
    Excuse me?!
    Victor
    It’s the safest way, my dear.
    Kate
    This is a free country, I can live wherever I please! And I’m not becoming some kind of prisoner after I finally recovered from that shot to my head! You can’t hold me captive like you did Nikki whats-her-name and Philip!
    Victor grabs ahold of Kate’s arm and tries to pull her away, and Justin walks out of the building after controlling everything inside with Bella, and sees Victor trying to pull Kate off and walks over to his uncle.
    Justin
    Uncle Victor, are you sure that’s a good idea?
    Kate
    No, its not! Now let me go!
    Victor
    I know what I’m doing.
    Kate
    You’ll pay for this, Victor!

    DiMera Mansion

    Renee
    W-w-what?? Tony and I never had a child!
    Stefano
    But that baby girl…Andre showed her to me, he told me she was yours…
    Renee
    And you took Andre’s word for it?! Father, Andre is insane! I promise you, Tony and I NEVER had a child! It was Tony and Marlena! Andre lied to you, he tricked you because he knew you would be furious! Vince and him worked together after they found out Marlena got pregnant!
    Stefano
    Vince?! You mean that crazy alter you are always mentioning?! Oh, what the hell is going on here?! How did Marlena even get pregnant?!
    Renee, after a brief pause
    That…I don’t know.
    Stefano
    This is insanity. And I thought Jan Spears was Tony’s daughter, not Nicole Walker of all people!
    Renee
    Father, what are you talking about?
    Stefano
    Andre, and I suppose with the help of Tony or that Vince character, gave the baby away to the rich Spears family. That much I do know, because I was overseeing it to make sure she got the best home possible…and I was the one who named her! I named her Jan!
    Renee
    This is insanity! Elvis and I were watching everything while you were in your coma during the Winter and Spring, and Nicole came forward at your funeral, even with a DNA Test, and before that Anna DiMera knew and also did a test. She’s been this DiMera child for months!
    Stefano
    Well, I know of Nicole Walker, she’s a scheming gold-digger, and she probably manipulated everything! I can’t believe no one figured it out before this.
    Renee
    Shouldn’t we tell Tony? He is still family.
    Stefano
    No! After all that man did to me, betraying me like he did, I always vowed to never tell him who his missing child was, and that man raped my daughter, we’ll let it unravel on its own.
    Renee has a worried look on her face as Stefano leaves the room, and she follows.
    Renee, whispering to herself
    Tony, I’m so sorry…

    Soon after they walk out of the living room and the foyer, Megan slowly walks into the living room, carrying a butcher knife like she has been lately. She glances at the TV, and is intrigued by what she is hearing.
    News Reporter
    More breaking news today: Hope Williams Brady, former police officer and wife of long-running police officer Bo Brady, who killed Princess Gina Von Amburg in Italy last year and then went on the run, has returned to Salem and turned herself in, and is currently being held at the Salem police station.
    Megan’s eyes widen, and she begins to laugh maniacally.
    Megan
    I knew this would happen, I just knew it…and now…now its time for me to take my rightful place as Bo’s love, his wife. Your era is over, Hope, and mine is just beginning! No more playing around, its time to put the plan I’ve worked so hard, so long, to make into action!
    Hope’s picture comes up on the screen, and while she continues to laugh, Megan tosses her knife through the TV, and the entire screen shatters everywhere as smoke begins to come out of the TV. Megan just grins, and then turns, walking out of the mansion…
  16. daysfan
    Salem Police Station

    Down in the holding cells, Hope is led down to them, and is put in the one with Julie! Julie’s eyes widen, and she automatically rushes Hope and hugs her! Hope embraces Julie, and both of them just stand in that position for a moment.
    Julie
    You came back…Hope, you came back!
    Hope
    Yeah, I-I did…I gave it all up, Julie. I gave up the crack, and I gave up the alcohol, and gave up being on the run. A very nice woman helped me realize that was what I needed to do.
    Julie
    Well, I’m…so glad. There’s no words to describe how amazed and happy I am right now.
    Hope
    Look, I want to apologize…you don’t deserve to be in here, and I didn’t mean to drag you into this.
    Julie
    Honey, I don’t mind! I am just glad you are alright! And believe me, I’ve been in here for so long, I don’t mind now, especially since you are back.
    Hope
    No, no, I never should have even mentioned anything to you. I’m so sorry.
    Julie
    Again, its fine.
    Hope, tearing up
    I feel so horrible for what I’ve done to everyone. You, Aunt Maggie, my baby daughters of all people, Bo, and even Gina. I regret it all so much.
    Julie
    Well, now, you can recover. Its all over now, Hope.
    Hope
    You’re right…it is…and so is my marriage with Bo.
    Julie
    What do you mean?
    Hope
    Julie, we’ve been trying to spend a little time together before he turned me in, but it didn’t feel the same. It felt like we lost that connection we’ve had for all these years…I don’t think Bo’s forgiven me, and I don’t think he even loves me anymore. Not after all I pulled.
    Julie
    Oh, Hope, I see why you would think like that, but you and Bo have gone through this so many times over the past twenty five years, and you’ve always reunited in the end.
    Hope
    But I never killed someone and then kept it from him while smoking and drinking, then leaving town entirely! This time, its not because someone like Billie, Patrick, Larry, Megan, or Gina manipulating everything. Its my fault, and solely my fault!
    Julie
    I wish you wouldn’t think like this…
    Hope
    I know its true…I really do, I’ve been thinking about it ever since he arrested me. I’ve lost Bo, we’re over.

    Episode: 260, Jailbirds
    Written by Tara Smith and ML Cooks


    Downtown Salem,
    Bo has Vivian in a holding room. He takes pictures of her.
    Bo
    “Smile pretty for the camera” Vivian puts her middle finger up and Bo snaps the shot.
    Bo
    “That’s gonna look real nice on the front page of the Spectator. The down fall of Vivian Alamain.”
    Vivian
    “Oh go to hell Bo Brady. I am down for now but not out. I won’t be behind bars for long and I suggest you don’t make me your enemy.”
    Bo
    “A threat, in the police station, I’m going to have to report that.” He says gabbing her and escorting her to her cell.
    Vivian
    “Take your damn hands off me. I know how to walks.”
    Bo
    “Not on your life, you’re a flight risk..” As they approach the cell, Vivian is astonished to see Hope Brady, and Julie Williams in jail.
    Vivian
    “Well, Well, Look at how the mighty have fallen. Bo you didn’t tell your family was here. We can have a party.”
    Julie
    “Not in the mood for your jokes Vivian. You belong in here. You’re evil.”
    Vivian, walking into the cell
    “Ta Ta Jules. No need to be so touchy. We can have a girls night out, right here in this cell.”
    Julie
    “Bo get me out of here! I can’t be in here with this Looney woman.”
    Bo
    “No can do. You were complicit with my wife killing Gina.” After saying that, Bo walks off, unable to even look Hope in the eyes behind bars. Hope wipes a tear from her eye as Vivian looks at her
    “Killer huh? Who would have guessed it.”
    Julie, getting up in Vivian’s face
    “You leave her the hell alone.”
    Vivian
    “Or what?”
    Julie
    “I’ll teach you a lesson.”
    Vivian
    “Please Julie, don’t flatter yourself. There’s nothing you can do to me in this hell hole, unless your willingly to spend more time in here then be my guest.”
    Hope
    “Will the both of just shut up. We might as well all get along.”
    Vivian
    “I won’t take orders from you. I won’t be in here long. I didn’t kill anyone. I have a good lawyer working on my case. Too bad I can’t say the same for you.”
    Julie then slaps Vivian
    “Do you ever shut up?” Vivian is stunned

    DiMera Mansion

    After returning from the fashion show with Peter, Elvis slowly walks around the DiMera Mansion, and knocks on the door into Stefano’s office.
    Stefano
    Come in.
    Elvis, walking in
    Father? I need to speak with you about something.
    Stefano
    Yes, what is it?
    Elvis
    You keep talking about how we are going to take over Salem…but so far, we haven’t done anything, except I helped Kate start that stupid fashion show. When are we going to stop talking about it and do something?
    Stefano
    Ahhh, patience, my son…the time will soon be right, and you helped advance my plans with your fashion show more than I thought you would.
    Elvis, raising an eyebrow
    What exactly are you planning?
    Stefano
    In due time, Elvis, in due time. Lets just say that it will be something that will tell this entire town that Stefano DiMera is back, and he means business this time.
    Elvis
    I hope you’re right.
    Stefano
    I am right. No more war with the Bradys or Helena. We will control this entire town, and we just need to take one more vital step on the way to victory.

    Downstairs, Kristen walks into the living room after Megan leaves, and she stares in shock at the destroyed TV.
    Kristen
    I’ve barely lived with her a couple months and I already am too creeped out at how freaky Megan is. Why father loves her so much I don’t think I’ll ever be able to figure out.
    Kristen remembers overhearing what was on the news before Megan demolished the television about Hope being arrested.
    Kristen
    Poor Bo…I mean, I haven’t ever known the guy too well, but I definitely remember him and somehow after having that drink with him that one time…I just feel much more bad for him now.
    Peter, also walking in
    Please tell me you aren’t falling for the cop, too. Megan’s enough.
    Kristen
    Excuse me? I’m still not even remotely ready for another relationship after John and…T-Tony…
    Peter
    Okay lets not get into that. I’m just saying, it sounds like you are already starting to have the hots for Bo Brady.
    Kristen
    And look who’s talking?! You slept with Vivian Alamain, VIVIAN ALAMAIN, and you didn’t tell any of us.
    Peter
    I guess news spreads fast?
    Kristen
    That chaotic fashion show has been all over the news. Lets just hope father doesn’t kill you for that.
    Peter
    It was a one-time thing, trust me. She attacked me earlier, I don’t think either of us want a long-term relationship.
    Kristen
    Good. I hope she rots in jail and none of us ever have to see her again.

    Salem Police Station

    Down in the holding cells, the three cellmates continue to fight.
    Vivian
    Excuse me? I hope you know who you’re talking to.
    Julie
    Oh, I do. I’m talking to a piece of street trash that thinks she’s some rich and powerful queen.
    Hope
    Julie, please, just-
    Julie
    No, Hope, she interrupted something very important, and I won’t tolerate her for too long.
    Vivian
    Awww, did I stop some type of sister/sister bonding moment? Oh please.
    Julie
    Back-off, Vivian!
    Vivian
    Oh don’t worry, I’m sure your little Hope won’t have to take me for too much longer, not after she goes to death row anyway.
    Hope has flashbacks to her nightmares of being executed and Gina and Alice watching, and Julie stares at Vivian angrily.
    Julie
    No one’s going to death row! This is your last warning, Vivian.
    Vivian
    Oh fine, fine, it took enough out of me to take those traitors down back at the show. But don’t you dare, ever threaten me like that again. I may be down now, but not forever, remember that.
    Vivian goes to the other side of the cell as Julie holds Hope, comforting her.

    DiMera Mansion

    Stefano and Elvis continue to talk inside Stefano’s office.
    Elvis
    As long as you have a plan, I know it’ll be good. And will get us back to the top.
    Stefano
    Oh, it will, I promise you. Now, go, I have much business to attend to.
    Elvis
    Yes, father.
    Elvis leaves Stefano’s office, shutting the door behind him, and Stefano grabs his phone on the desk and dials a number, contacting one of his servants still in Salem.
    Stefano
    Hello? Yes, it is me, I’m back, and I trust you have stayed loyal to me throughout my absence. Ah, excellent…now, it is the time for me to take back this town as my own. I want you to make sure that Vivian Alamain, who was just arrested earlier today, stands trial soon. Very soon…there is no time to waste.

    Salem Police Station

    The next day,

    Down in the holding cells, the three cellmates Vivian, Julie, and Hope are silent, but Hope’s eyes narrow when she sees Megan approaching their cell.
    Hope
    Finally joining the rest of us?
    Megan, smirking
    Awww, I’m sorry I can’t come in there to beat you to a pulp, but no. I just came to see how you were doing in the slammer.
    Hope
    I’m sure soon you’ll be right beside me.
    Megan
    Sorry, Bo and I will be too busy planning our future.
    Hope
    Excuse me?
    Megan
    That’s right, Hope, I’m finally going to get Bo all to myself, and since you are in jail, there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.
    Hope
    Been there, done that.What makes you think you are going to win this time?
    Megan
    Well, third times a charm, I’m a DiMera, and I have a full proof plan, one I’ve been making for months. This time, I am going to do something that bonds me and Bo forever.

    Steve and Kayla’s Apartment

    Stefan Cassadine, still impersonating Steve, lies in bed with Kayla. She kisses him all over his body, on his neck, his chest, and lips, but he is hesitant to kiss her back.
    Kayla
    You know, things really have been great for us these past few months, haven’t they? No drama, just us enjoying our life…
    Stefan
    Yeah, Sweetness, I know.
    Kayla, looking up at Stefan
    Are you okay? You’ve seemed really off lately.
    Stefan
    I’m fine.
    Kayla
    If you say so…
    Stefan
    Really, I am.
    Kayla
    Well, I need to get down to the hospital, my shift starts soon.
    Kayla kisses Stefan again, and then gets up and goes to get ready. Stefan also gets out of bed, grabs his cell phone, and dials a number.
    Stefan
    Mother, we’ve got to meet, and soon.


    Salem University Hospital

    Maggie walks into Abe’s room at the hospital, and both of them smile at each other as she walks over to gently hug him.
    Abe
    Its great to see you…but you really don’t have to come down here so often. I’ve heard on the news all about Hope, and Julie is already in jail too, shouldn’t you be trying to help them?
    Maggie
    I am going to support my family, yes, but there’s not much I can do to help either of them right now. And I want to be there for you, too, you have no one left.
    Abe
    Maggie, I’ll be fine. I really will be.
    Maggie
    I’m not going to back down, Abe. I love visiting you, you’ve really…been a great friend all of this year. I mean, I have remained strong for my family’s sake, but after losing Mickey, Alice, Doug, and all sorts of friends, you helped me finally get over it.
    Abe, shocked
    I…did?
    Maggie
    Yes, you did. I didn’t know it at first, but you did.
    Abe
    Maggie, I’m flattered.
    Maggie
    And I am making sure you get the best medical treatment possible.
    Abe
    Thank you…that’s all I can say, just…thank you.
    Maggie again smiles at Abe, and is silent for a minute as they stare at each other, and lean in…and kiss!
    Abe, pulling back
    I’m so sorry….
    Maggie
    No…don’t say sorry, I liked that…
    They then kiss again!!!!

    Kiriakis Mansion

    Kate walks down the stairs of the mansion with a robe on, and sees Victor drinking a glass of champagne in the living room.
    Kate
    So, can I leave yet?
    Victor
    No, I’m still having that DNA tested.
    Kate
    This is ridiculous. I am no prisoner. And why you think you can hold everyone hostage in your own house is beyond me!
    Victor
    Well, we all still know you might not be Kate, and I won’t have you posing a risk to my son, or anyone else here in Salem.
    Kate
    Oh, you have a heart, how touching. I never tested your blood when you came back from the dead, and you did, like, twice right?!
    Victor
    That was different. You were shot in the head. Nicole and Jan were stupid enough to try to electricute me inside a bathtub.
    Kate, groaning
    Well, if we have to live together, then I want compensation! I want to be treated like a special guest in this house, I want to be allowed to leave when I like, and I want everything I had when I was Mrs. Victor Kiriakis.

    Salem Police Station

    Hope and Megan continue to argue inside the holding area.
    Hope
    Would you just leave me alone? You know you are never going to get Bo anyway.
    Megan
    Oh, we’ll see about that, Ugly Face. This time my plan is full proof, and those babies of yours will be calling me “Mommy”.
    Hope
    NO!
    Megan, grinning
    Oh yes…I will be taking your place…and by the time I’m done, Bo probably won’t be able to even remember your name, he’ll be so in love with me.
    Hope
    Just leave, damnit! GET OUT!
    Megan
    As you wish, Ugly Face. But expect some divorce papers soon.
    Megan turns and walks away, a wide grin still on her face, and there is a freeze frame on her face.

    Kate walks up to the doorway of the Spears Mansion, and looks around with a raised eyebrow at all of the tree branches lying every where.
    Kate
    Well, Victor told me I could find Lucas here…but why is he living with that psycho Jan Spears? I mean, at least he’s not with Sami, but who knows what that murderous lunatic could do to him…she locked Shawn in a cage, told him Belle pushed her down the stairs, stalked him, tried to kill Victor, and who knows what else.
    Kate slowly and hesitantly knocks on the door, and for the first time since early Fall of 2007 Lucas and Kate come face to face as he opens the door!

    DiMera Mansion

    Ji’Min walks into the living room of the mansion, and smiles to see Stefano as they shake hands.
    Ji’Min
    Wow, alive yet again! Though I shouldn’t be surprised since I’ve been working with you for several years now.
    Stefano
    The Phoenix always rises again, my friend. Now, you don’t have to worry, I’ve already made sure I won’t be going to jail for my past crimes, this is about something entirely different.
    Ji’Min
    Well then lets get down to business, but I think you need to know that your will has already been read and the possessions and money that you left behind when you died, er, “died”, are now legally in their hands.
    Stefano
    My will mostly went to my children, we’ll discuss that later. Right now, I want you to get Vivian Alamain out of jail, and for you to represent her during her trial.
    Ji’Min
    Vivian Alamain? She’s your ex-wife, and that one who constantly hounded everyone about your will from what I heard, and was present during the storm. I’ve also heard about her recent arresting, why do you want to get her out of jail?
    Stefano
    Well, I have already pulled some strings so that her trial will be sooner rather than later. I need her for my ultimate plan to conquer this town, and she is part of one of the most powerful families besides my own, despite how despicable they have recently become. She’d be a powerful chess piece.
    Ji’Min
    Well, I am still confused, but I’ll do what you need, however I’m going to need some time to study the case.
    Stefano
    Certainly. She has quite a few crimes on her list, and proof that she did these crimes, but you can still get her out. If I was able to keep myself out of prison, she’ll be able to stay out too.
    Ji’Min
    I’ll do my best, Mr.DiMera. Now, if you excuse me, I had better start my work on this right now.
    Stefano nods, and he and Ji’Min say their goodbyes and Ji’Min leaves the mansion, as Stefano smirks to himself and walks off.

    Lexie walks into her office, getting her clipboard, and looks around, being nearly two years since she was even instated at the hospital, and she flashes back to shooting Tek inside, but she tries to shake it off.
    Lexie
    Well, my first day back…I guess its time for me to get back in the swing of things.
    Lexie walks through the halls of the hospital, and goes to her first patient’s room…and opens the door to see…Abe and Maggie kissing!
    Lexie
    Oh my…not now…not today, please…
    Abe and Maggie both pull back when they notice Lexie, and Maggie rolls her eyes.
    Maggie
    Please don’t tell me you are the one treating him! I’ll have to talk to Mike about that…
    Abe, sighing
    No, Maggie, its fine. I am sick of all the fighting, its been going on for too long, ever since I tried to get custody of Theo. Now that’s over, and for his sake, we all need to get along and move on with our lives.
    Maggie
    If you say so, but I’m going to keep a close eye on you, Dr.Brooks.
    Lexie
    Alright, how are you doing, Abe?
    As Lexie goes over to check Abe’s condition, all three in the room are quiet, and Lexie briefly glances at Abe as she gives him what he needs.
    Abe
    I think I’m feeling much better than I was when the stroke happened….I hope I can get released soon.
    Lexie
    I’m not sure about that, but we’ll see. Okay, I think I’ve checked everything and you are doing well, but I’ll come back later to tell you for certain if you need to be kept In the hospital for too much longer or just for a little while. Thank you
    Lexie leaves, and Maggie looks at Abe.
    Abe
    Maggie, as I said before, its fine. I’m not a friend of Lexie’s now by any means, but I just want the fighting to stop.
    Maggie
    Well, as you wish, but with how she acted during the custody battle, I don’t trust her. Just be careful when she’s around.
    Abe
    Okay, okay.

    Spears Mansion

    Lucas(Bryan Dattillo) is astonished to see his mother alive before him!
    Lucas
    I must be dreaming…first Will and now this….
    Kate, grabbing his hand
    No, no, honey…its me. Its mom. I’m alive
    Lucas
    What?! This is impossible, it can’t be, I saw your body! Billie and I had your body put into a coffin and buried! This is a nightmare. A joke.
    Kate
    You know, I’m getting tired of hearing that. First Billie, then Victor, and now you. No, its Kate Roberts Reed Kiriakis Brady, I am alive. It was another DiMera trick pulled by a couple of Stefano’s children, I was barely alive after Tony shot me in Italy, and they saved my life but made it look like I was dead and whisked me off to the basement of the DiMera Mansion for me to recover. I did and put on that fashion show to make my grand return.
    Lucas
    I almost want to believe you…but don’t know what to say. So much has happened in the past few days…
    Kate
    And Lucas, what are you doing at Jan Spears mansion?!
    Lucas, hesitating for a moment
    Jan…is my fiancee.
    Kate
    What?!!?! Are you insane?! You finally got away from Sami but went to Jan Spears?! She is insane! Do you remember that she tried to kill Victor for Nicole, locked Shawn in a cage, and what she did to get that baby of hers into her stomach?! She disguised as a surrogant, and then she switched Mimi’s eggs with her own! And you decide to marry the girl?!
    Lucas
    Mom, all of that was a long time ago. She’s changed, we’ve been together for months now and we’re happy. I delivered her son, Bentley, and we’ve been a family.
    Kate
    And how does Will feel about this?
    Lucas
    Will went missing right after you died, and we were searching for him for months but didn’t find anything, but now he’s back too, and he’s a lot more defiant than before. He hates the idea of me marrying Jan, and keeps trying to disown me. He stole her credit card and I feel like he’s keeping something from me.
    Kate
    Well, I can see why he ran away if you hooked up with Jan Spears!
    Lucas
    Mom, stop! You’ve only been back for about five minutes and you’re already criticizing my decision on who to spend the rest of my life with?
    Kate
    Lucas, Jan is a little Sami. She is not a model citizen.
    Lucas
    And you are?
    Kate
    Oh, this is useless. Fine, Lucas, but don’t think you and Jan have my blessing yet. But…it is great to see you.
    Lucas
    This just feels so weird, you know? I mean, you’re alive and well…wow…I don’t know what else to say.
    Kate
    There is nothing else to say.
    Lucas pulls Kate into a tight embrace as a few tears runs down both of their cheeks, glad to be reunited at last.
    Kate, pulling back
    Well, I don’t want to cry too much, so I better get going…I love you so much, Lucas, and its just so good to see you, and soon I’m going to see all my children again.
    Lucas
    Yeah…I love you, too…I really do and you don’t know how good this makes me feel…
    Kate smiles, and Lucas slowly kisses her on the cheek, before she turns and walks out the door and off of the grounds.

    Salem Pier

    Stefan walks down onto the docks near the Salem River, and his mother Helena emerges from the shadows.
    Helena
    Ahhh, my son, you need me?
    Stefan
    Yes, I do. Its about our scheme.
    Helena
    Well, out with it. Whats the problem?
    Stefan
    Whats the point of this? I’ve been impersonating that pirate for a few months now, and we’ve done basically nothing. And all her real husband has been doing is sitting in your little hideout watching us play house.
    Helena
    Patience, my son, patience…its all a very slow process, and I want that man to know what it feels like to lose someone…just like I lost EJ, its an eye for an eye, I lost my son, he loses his wife. But of course in a different way.
    Stefan
    From what I’ve seen, this isn’t really getting to him too much now. Maybe at first, but not now.
    Helena
    Then perhaps it is time to up the ante…I’ll make him squirm.
    Stefan
    What should we do?
    Helena
    Get much closer to Kayla. Be more romantic…make Steve jealous. All you’ve been doing so far is just kiss and hug her occasionally and impersonate Steve, but intensify your relationship with her. Give her a romantic dinner, or something, and I’ll make sure Steve watches.
    Stefan, nodding
    Excellent…

    DiMera Mansion

    Peter walks into the foyer of the mansion from outside, and Stefano walks down from the stairway.
    Peter
    Father, nice to see you…
    Stefano
    And nice to see you, my son, how are you?
    Peter
    Better after a good nights sleep and a shower after all that happened yesterday.
    Stefano
    I need to discuss something with you.
    Peter
    And that is?
    Stefano
    I want to take over Titan Enterprises.
    Peter, almost choking in shock
    Wh-what? Titan? Why?
    Stefano
    Because, as I discover more and more about what went on this town in my absence, its not hard to see that Victor is completely taking over the business side of Salem, which is a big portion of it as you should know. If the DiMera’s could perhaps take it from him, it would be a step forward in our quest.
    Peter
    Are you sure? It’d be awfully hard, maybe impossible.
    Stefano
    We are the DiMera’s. Nothing is impossible, and also Victor is an old enemy of mine, I’d love to take his beloved business from him. It’ll be one more enemy down. Roman Brady is already out of my way, so is Helena, and next in line is Victor.
    Peter, sighing
    I can try to find out if there’s anything we can do to take it over, but it’ll be hard, you had better have some of your little helpers you have inserted help me or we’re going to get nowhere.
    Stefano
    Oh of course. Remember, we have power. And we can do anything with power.
    Peter again sighs and walks off to try to figure out a way to take over Titan, as Stefano walks over to a table with a chess board on it, and pushes one of the chess pieces forward.
    Stefano
    Yet another piece in place…
  19. daysfan
    Brady Pub
    Stefan walks in to the Brady Pub, to see his “wife” Kayla cleaning the counter after giving some food to the customers, and smiles as he walks up to her and kisses her on the lips and neck.
    Kayla, chuckling
    You sure seem to be in a good mood…
    Stefan
    Just happy to see you.
    Kayla
    Aww that’s so sweet…I’m kinda busy right now, though, its hard running an entire pub by yourself…
    Stefan
    You shouldn’t have to run this thing alone, there are other Brady’s around…like those two alien twins, Rex and Cassie or whatever their names are…Sami…our daughter, Stephanie…you deserve some help, and you deserve a bit better than what you’ve been getting lately.
    Kayla
    What?
    Stefan
    I think I’ve been mis-treating you…so I’m taking you out to an early dinner at Chez Rouge.
    Kayla, gasping
    Oh, Steve, I’m so shocked! But…who can take care of the Pub-
    Stefan
    I’m sure you’ll find someone. Now come on, lets go get ready.
    Stefan and Kayla leave the Pub, and Helena in the shadows slowly follows…

    Episode: 263, A Romantic Dinner
    Written by: Tara Smith

    Cheatin’ Heart
    Bo sits at the bar having a drink, and Kristen also walks up to the bar and orders a drink, and looks beside her to see Bo.
    Kristen
    We meet again, Detective Brady. Shouldn’t you be on duty right now?
    Bo
    Its my day off.
    Kristen
    Oh, I see. I heard about your wife, I’m very sorry.
    Bo
    Yeah, I am, too, but its just how things go, I guess. At least she returned to face the music herself.
    Kristen
    Do you…at least think your marriage with her will last?
    Bo
    To be honest with you? I don’t know, I doubt it…I’ve forgiven her for what she did, or at least tried, but…she’s going to go to prison and I think we’ve lost our connection. She just went too far.
    Kristen
    I know what it feels like to lose the one you love. I lost John…well, Roman to you. I lost him back in 1997 after I was exposed for that stupid Susan scheme, and when I got out of prison he was catatonic and still is today. I know I’m never going to get him back.
    Bo
    I’ve lost three women now…Carly, Billie, and Hope. All of them I did love at one point, but life does go on. I guess its just been rough lately.
    Kristen
    That’s something you and I seem to have in common. For all of these months that I’ve been a free woman and can wander this town freely, I’ve been in pain over my rape. I’ve gone to therapy sessions with Marlena of all people when she’s available but that still doesn’t heal all the pain. And my family is on a rampage against Salem.
    Bo
    Ouch. Those DiMera’s…there are no words. And I’m sorry about your rape. I haven’t been your biggest fan, but I do feel bad for you.
    Kristen
    Oh its fine, believe me, you have it worse than me.
    Bo
    We both have it pretty bad, huh?
    Kristen, laughing
    Yeah…
    Bo, holding up his glass
    Well, here’s to getting better.
    Kristen
    Here here!
    Kristen and Bo toast their glasses, then both of them continue to drink…
    Chez Rouge
    Stefan and Kayla, both dressed elegantly, walk into Chez Rouge, where Stefan has reservations made. He leads Kayla to a table that has romantic candles lit, a beautiful tablecloth, and other various items.
    Kayla
    This…is wonderful…
    Stefan
    Its for you, Sweetness.
    Kayla
    I mean…you haven’t given me something like this in so long…I’ve felt like our marriage has been lifeless lately, but now I know that’s not true.
    Stefan, pulling out a seat for Kayla
    Here, take a seat, my love.
    Kayla sits down, and Kayla is about to order but Stefan interrupts.
    Stefan
    I already ordered your favorite.
    Kayla
    You did?! Wow…I don’t know what to say.
    Stefan
    Its just for you. I promise this night is going to be full of surprises and romance.
    Kayla, smiling
    Thank you so much.
    Stefan and Kayla lean in and share a passionate kiss, Stefan putting a bit more emotion into it, but unknown to Kayla Helena is filming all of this, secretly, in disguise at another table…
    St.Luke’s
    Maggie walks into the church, alone, and to the alter. She looks around to see if anyone else is there, but they aren’t, and Maggie kneels down on her leads and stares up to the ceiling.
    Maggie
    Dear Lord, if you can hear me, I need your help..your advice…and maybe even Mickey’s. Oh Mickey, I know you’re up there, please hear me. I don’t know what to do…I think I’m falling for Abe Carver. Maybe I already have…I just feel like I’m betraying you, and I’m not sure how Abe feels about me. I want you to give me a sign, should I move on? Because…he’s helped me get over your death at long last.
    Maggie sighs, as a few tears roll down her cheeks, and she recalls all of her and Mickey’s greatest times together To when she met “Marty” out at her farm, when he stood by her side and gave her red dancing shoes when she was paralyzed, when they got married, adopted all of their daughters, and even a few years ago when Mickey re-married her and bought her Chez Rouge.
    Maggie
    I miss you, Mickey…I’ll never forget you and I’ll never stop loving you, and you know that…but I still think I need to let you go so I can face my feelings for Abe. Help me, God, help me, Mickey!
    As Maggie cries, suddenly a strong gust of wind blows through the Church. Maggie looks around.
    Maggie
    But what does that mean?! Oh Lord, I’m just so confused right now…
    The doors of St.Luke’s burst open due to the wind, and Maggie can hear a small, little voice down in her heart saying “Go, Maggie. Go to him.”
    Maggie, still looking around, but after a moment she smiles
    Thank you, Mickey…thank you, God.
    Maggie stands up and leaves the Church.
    Alamain Inc.
    Forrest, Billie, Nicholas, and Valentine walk into the board room of Alamain, and all of them sit down at the large, circular table in the middle of the room.
    Forrest
    Alright, everyone, no more fooling around. We have to act fast and we have to act now. That fashion show didn’t really help us with your little stunt, Valentine.
    Valentine
    Well I had to take care of Vivian somehow! I mean, I was sick of my sister, we all were!
    Forrest
    But we already had her taken out of Alamain, hell we gave her position to you! Was that not enough?
    Valentine
    Well I preferred to see her rot in prison. And it wasn’t only me, Celeste helped.
    Forrest
    Well, I don’t care about Celeste, because I don’t really know her, but I do know that the fact that we employed a criminal will do serious damage to Alamain and make it easier for Victor to take it over.
    Nicholas
    Are we going to bring Kate back now that she’s alive? Which I still can’t believe.
    Billie
    Can we…not talk about my mom? I still…have to deal with her huge blow out return, and that she didn’t tell me she was alive.
    Forrest
    We’ll deal with Kate later, and it’s a personal matter at this point. Now, here’s what I propose: As you all should know, we have a whole lot of stock, and huge stakes in many television networks all across the nation. We need to start selling it off now. And I mean as much as we can.
    Nicholas
    You want to sell THAT much at one time? Are you crazy?
    Forrest
    We need money, Alamain is going to have to file for bankruptcy soon, and its to the point where we are living off of what we have left in the bank.
    Nicholas
    Which is a fortune, I don’t really see why-
    Forrest
    Listen, its either do this, or get bought out by Titan and eventually go poor.
    Billie, sighing
    I agree with Forrest. This needs to be done.
    Valentine
    Okay, I agree too.
    Nicholas
    Fine, whatever you say, man. I’ll do it.
    Forrest
    Good. Then its decided. But that’s not all you have to do, Nicholas.
    Nicholas
    What do you want now?
    Forrest
    You have to break up with your Bella Magazine star-girlfriend.
    Nicholas
    What?! Hell no! I thought we already talked about this back at the fashion show the other day.
    Forrest
    The tabloids will be all over it soon, if they aren’t already. Its just bad publicity for the company. One of the executives dating the new model for Bella? I’m sorry, Nicholas, its either break up with her, or I’m afraid I might have to kick you out of the company, just like I did with Vivian.
    Nicholas’s eyes widen, and he sits in silence, shocked and caught between what to do.
    Forrest
    Now that we’ve got that’s decided, I think I’m going to take my beautiful girlfriend out for a nice dinner at Chez Rouge, to get our minds off of all of this.
    Forrest takes Billie’s hand, and then the couple leaves Alamain, with Valentine following shortly after, but Nicholas stays, still silent and shocked.
    Chez Rouge
    Stefan and Kayla eat dinner, as Helena tapes, and they continue to kiss off/on.
    Kayla
    You know, I just want to say again, this is really lovely.
    Stefan
    Its all for you. This is your night, my beautiful wife.
    Kayla
    Wow, Steve, you are so romantic tonight…I haven’t seen you like this since…before Britta came back.
    Stefan
    Well, with EJ’s death and all, I think it got me really down…but now, I’m happy again. I’m happy with you, baby.
    Kayla leans in and kisses Stefan again, and Helena grins as she subtly tapes it from the other table, as Stefan and Kayla pull back from the kiss.
    Kayla
    You know, this is really great…living life happily like this, no drama for once.
    Stefan, nodding
    Yeah, I know.
    Voice
    Steve, Kayla! Whoa, I can’t believe this!
    Stefan and Kayla look up to see their old friend and Steve’s brother-in-law Justin Kiriakis approaching them!
    At the other side of Chez Rouge, Forrest and Billie are taking a seat at a table.
    Forrest
    I really hope this helps take your mind off of everything.
    Billie
    Honestly, Forrest, how can it? I saw my mother, who I thought was dead for so long and was still grieving over, come back to life out of the blue, then I fainted, and now today I have all of this Alamain crap to deal with, while trying to find out where she ran off to! I mean, I don’t even know if its really her! Tony DiMera shot her in the head and-
    Forrest
    I know, I know. Listen, if you need a break from Alamain, I’d gladly let you take a hiatus.
    Billie
    No, no..right now I think I just need to have a nice dinner, with you, you’re the only light in my life right now. Everything else is so screwed up.
    Forrest
    I feel like I’m making it tougher on you.
    Billie
    You’re not, you’re really not. I love you, Forrest, I love you so much.
    Forrest kisses Billie on the cheek, but suddenly someone approaches them and pulls Billie into an embrace.
    Kate
    Billie, my daughter…my precious daughter…finally, I’m back…
    Billie looks in shock at her mother!
    Helena’s Hideout
    After finishing taping Stefan romancing Kayla and their romantic dinner, Helena walks into a room where Steve is still tied to a chair, and smiles at him.
    Steve
    What do you want now?
    Helena
    Oh, Steven, I have something special for you today….
    Steve rolls his eyes as Helena takes out the camera from her purse, that back at Chez Rouge she had positioned exactly at Stefan and Kayla’s table, and pulls the tape out of it and puts it in the VCR.
    The tape plays, and Steve is horrified and overcome with jealousy at his look-a-like constantly kissing his wife.
    Helena
    Ahhh, they are soul mates, aren’t they?
    Steve
    No…no…NO….
    Steve struggles with his ropes, trying to break loose, and tries to look away from the tape but Helena forcefully makes him look at it, as Steve screams in anger…

    Salem University Hospital
    Maggie rushes into the hospital, overwhelmed with joy after her visit to the church and the signs she got from God and Mickey. She approaches the door into Abe’s room, and stops in nervousness for a moment, but then takes a deep breath, and walks in.
    Abe
    Hey, Maggie…
    Maggie
    Abe….I’m so glad to see you.
    Abe
    What? Is something wrong?
    Maggie
    No, no, Abe, everything’s right. Its all right…
    Abe, looking confused
    Maggie, what are you talking about?
    Maggie
    I need to tell you something, Abe. Something very important.
    Abe
    Alright…then say it. I hope this isn’t bad news.
    Maggie
    This may seem sudden…but then again, remember that..kiss we shared? And then the other kiss during the storm last Winter?
    Abe
    Um…yes…
    Maggie
    Well, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately, especially today, and…Abraham Carver, I…love you. I love you!

    Episode: 264, The Beginning and The End
    Written by Tara Smith

    Marlena’s Penthouse
    Nicholas is with Belle at her mother’s penthouse, and its only them, and Nicholas is about to tell Belle what Forrest told him back at the Alamain meeting.
    Belle, walking out with a drink for Nicholas and herself
    So, what is it you want to tell me?
    Nicholas
    Well, this…isn’t going to be easy. I just want you to stay calm, and be ready for what I’m about to say.
    Belle
    Nicholas, what is it?
    Nicholas, slowly stroking her arm
    Its my uncle, Forrest…he’s being a jackass about us being together.
    Belle, rolling her eyes
    Its because I’m the big Bella star, right?
    Nicholas
    Yeah. First we sorta went at it at the show, but then we did again earlier today.
    Belle
    I can see why Victor hates him.
    Nicholas
    Yeah, I almost regret helping him throw Vivian out. But…there was something else he said.
    Belle
    And what was that?
    Nicholas
    He told me that if I…didn’t break up with you, he’d kick me out of Alamain.
    Salem Police Station
    Down in the holding cells, a guard walks up to Vivian, Julie, and Hope’s cell. He begins to unlock it
    Julie
    Oh thank goodness, am I finally getting out of here?
    Officer
    No, I’m afraid not, I’m here for Miss Alamain.
    Vivian
    Me? Am I getting let out?
    Officer
    Yes, your name has been cleared.
    Julie, Hope at the same time
    WHAT?!
    Officer
    Well, you got a good lawyer assigned to your case, and he managed to somehow make it so that your case didn’t even go to trial. Personally, I think some strings were pulled behind the scenes, but whatever. You’re free to go.
    Vivian, walking out happily
    Wait, just one question, officer: Who is my lawyer? I didn’t even know I had one yet!
    Officer
    Ji’Min Kim, I think.
    Vivian
    Stefano’s lawyer…ahh, thank you.
    Vivian turns to Julie and Hope, her former cellmates.
    Vivian
    Bye bye girls, enjoy life in prison! You know, you two are so ridiculous, they could make a show out of that, called “Life in Prison”, about two psycho women. Ah well, goodbye, I won’t miss you two.
    Vivian happily leaves the police station, and laughs as she walks out.
    Vivian
    Look out, Salem, Vivian Alamain is back and out for revenge. They thought they could keep me down, they were wrong! First stop, the DiMera Mansion!
    The Cheatin’ Heart
    Bo is sitting at the bar alone, as the Cheatin’ Heart is nearly empty, and Kristen has left. As he sits thinking, someone taps him on the shoulder. He turns to see Megan.
    Bo
    What do you want?
    Megan
    Is that anyway to greet me? Whats wrong, Bo?
    Bo
    I don’t think that’s really any of your business, now is it?
    Megan
    Come on Bo, its me, your one true love. Don’t you remember when we were together? How much fun we had? How much you loved me? In high school, we shared such a connection. And then all those years ago you called out my name whenever you were hurt. And you got back with me during the prism disaster!
    Bo
    Megan, high school was nearly thirty years ago. And you know that in 1984 when we got back together it was only so I could destroy the cartel, and you lied to me about Zack being my son.
    Megan
    But that was because Hope turned you against me. Can’t you see that? And now that she’s in jail we are free to be together!
    Bo
    Okay, I’ve had enough of all of these memories of when we were supposedly in love. You’re lucky enough I’m not turning you in to the police for a whole bunch of crimes, so just back off.
    Bo stands and turns to leave, but Megan follows and tries to pull on his arm to stop him.
    Megan
    Bo, don’t go, we are meant for each other! We could raise Pamela and Addie together, and then have our own kids.
    Bo shoves Megan off of him, and angrily leaves. Megan scowls and then starts throwing everything inside the Cheatin’ Heart around, trashing the place.
    Megan
    This is all Hope’s fault! Well, she’s out of the way, and with my new plan, Bo’s going to be mine.
    Marlena’s Penthouse
    Belle
    Wh-what? You can’t be serious. Please tell me you’re joking.
    Nicholas, shaking his head
    Belle, I’m so sorry…I’m not, but…I won’t break up with you. I’m not going to cave that easily to Forrest’s demands. He can kick me out of Alamain, throw me out of the mansion, but I wouldn’t just abandon you like that.
    Belle is silent for a moment, thinking, and Nicholas raises an eyebrow at her.
    Nicholas
    Belle…are you okay?
    Belle
    I’m just thinking…I don’t think I could let that happen to you, I mean, that’s your place, that should be your job for the rest of your life…and I don’t think I should let you lose it all just because of me.
    DiMera Mansion
    Peter and Ji’Min both sit in the living room on the computer, buying stock from both Titan and Alamain.
    Peter
    Thanks for helping me with this, Ji’Min, I’m glad my father got you to help because I don’t think even I could do all of this on my own.
    Ji’Min
    Anytime. And it seems we are buying at an excellent time, I think slowly Alamain is making more and more of their stock available.
    Peter
    Yeah, Father should be pleased…I wasn’t sure of this plan at first but I think everything may just work out.
    Ji’Min
    You should know by now that everything works out if Stefano wants it to.
    Peter
    True that.
    Stefano then walks in.
    Ji’Min
    Well, speak of the devil.
    Peter
    Father, we have some news about your plans to take over Titan.
    Stefano
    Excellent.
    Peter
    We’ve been able to buy a good amount of stock from both Titan and even Alamain, especially Alamain, they seem to be starting to put up a lot of their most valuable stock. Its going easier than I thought it would.
    Stefano, laughing
    Yes…yes. Wonderful. Its all coming together.
    Suddenly they all hear a bang on the door, and Stefano walks into the foyer and to the front door and opens it to see Vivian!

    Abe looks in shock at Maggie’s confession, not sure what to say.
    Abe
    Are you…sure? Are you serious?
    Maggie
    Oh yes, Abe, I am. I think I’ve been avoiding it for months now. I mean we’ve grown so close this year, I haven’t loved anyone like this since Mickey.
    Abe
    Maggie, wow…I don’t know what to say…
    Maggie
    You don’t have to say anything, I’m just so happy right now.
    Abe
    You know, Maggie, you’ve helped me a lot too…I’ve gone through so many issues this year with that big custody battle, losing Theo, and now this stroke, and I’ve been hospitalized all Summer. But you’ve always been there.
    Maggie
    What…are you saying?
    Abe
    Maybe, Maggie, just maybe…I love you too.
    Maggie
    Abe…oh my…ABE!!!!
    Maggie throws her arms around Abe’s in happiness, and kisses him on the cheek.

    Stefano smirks at seeing Vivian on his doorstep.
    Stefano
    Ahhh, Vivian…its been a long time.
    Vivian
    So you’re alive…well I’m not surprised. But what did surprise me is that your lawyer got me out of jail before I could even stand trial.
    Stefano
    Ah yes, I arranged that.
    Vivian
    But why?
    Stefano
    All in due time, my dear. Come inside, and meet with Ji’Min and myself.
    Vivian walks in, and Stefano takes her into the living room, and Peter is shocked and terrified to see her!
    Peter
    What are you doing here?!
    Vivian, grinning
    Oh, Peter…thanks to your father, I’m free.
    Peter, looking at Stefano
    What is she talking about? You freed this nutcase?! She’s going to kill me!
    Stefano
    Nothing will happen to you, my son. Now, I need you to leave so Vivian, Ji’Min, and I can talk.
    Peter
    Fine.
    Peter angrily walks out of the room, and Stefano shuts the doors.
    Vivian
    So, what is this all about? Ji’Min, you were able to get me out of jail?
    Ji’Min
    With a little help from Stefano, yes, I was. Originally I was going to wait until you stood trial, but I was able to get you out before then. Despite the taped confession that Valentine and Celeste played at the fashion show, all the witnesses during your crimes couldn’t be present. Chelsea Benson is still missing, Samantha Evans is classified insane and too unstable to testify, and your poisoning victim Kayla Brady is available, but the intended victim Caroline Brady is still in a coma. And the police were also unable to get ahold of Samantha Brady.
    Vivian, laughing in triumph
    Valentine and Celeste thought they could bring me down…they were wrong! But why would you, Stefano, want me out of jail?
    Stefano
    Because ever since I woke up from my coma, I have been hatching a plan to take ahold of Salem. You are in this plan, and in it, you get everything you ever wanted. Valentine and Celeste, although it was unintentional on their part and they didn’t know of what I had in store, sped everything up when they revealed your misdeeds.
    Vivian
    Ahhh…so what are you going to do?
    Stefano
    Well, I will need your help, because I have something big for you to do for me…for both of us to do, and I promise you will be able to get revenge on ALL of your enemies, even Kate Roberts. Now, listen closely….

    Nicholas puts both of his hands on Belle’s shoulders.
    Nicholas
    I’ll be fine, Belle. As long as I have you, I’ll be fine. Listen, you don’t need-
    Belle
    No, Nicholas, I know what I need to do.
    Nicholas, getting nervous
    What are you talking about? Belle, please, baby, don’t do anything you’re gonna regret.
    Belle, tearing up
    Nicholas, don’t try to talk me out of it.
    Nicholas
    No, Belle, you gotta be kidding! You’re gonna be hurting me more by doing this than Forrest ever could!
    Belle cries, as she shrugs Nicholas’s hands off of her.
    Belle
    I won’t let you give up your future, I just won’t.
    Nicholas
    Dammit, Belle, NO! I won’t let you!
    Belle, tears continuing to run down her cheeks
    I’m sorry, Nicholas. Its been so fun, and the best time of my life that I’ve had since…I don’t know when. But, your job is on the line, so I have to do it. I have to leave you…goodbye, Nicholas. We’re through.
    Belle stands up and runs out of the room a mess, as Nicholas stands up and punches some pillows on the couch in anger…

    Life in Salem, one of the moderately popular soaps on "SONBC", returns to the network TONIGHT after being on hiatus for nearly two months.

    "I needed a break, and I got one. Now I get to write again!!!!!!! It feels so great. In the first episode I wrote when I decided "It's time for LIS to come back" not too much happened, but it felt so great. I feel my writing has improved, also. I just can't wait. I'm writing episodes as we speak!" the headwriter excitedly says

    LIS left off with the cliffhanger of Gina being alive. This is sort of explained in the episode that is about to be posted, but questions remain. Princess Gina's run is not expect to last long...so this causes much trouble....

    But get ready, because LIS IS COMING BACK!

    LIS SPIN-OFF!

    By daysfan,

    LIFE IN SALEM TO LAUNCH SPIN-OFF/MINISERIES THIS SUMMER!

    As LIS enters an intense May Sweeps, a huge announcement breaks! It can now be revealed that Life in Salem, which has been rather quiet lately, will soon split off into a spinoff/mini-series this summer! It will follow several characters already on LIS(who leave the original soap for the spinoff), and also some characters from Salem's past. It shall be used to tell a story too huge to tell on LIS, and to help trim down the bloated cast. A major event on LIS, a turning point for one of its hugest stories, will kick it off very soon! So don't expect to wait too long for it!

    "ML(Co-EP/HW) and I think it will be great," Co-EP/HW Tara Smith comments "While we have managed to maintain many huge stories on LIS the past several months, there is more we want to do that we can't do on one soap with such a huge cast. While LIS does have a bit of balance, we think it needs more. This spin-off should really help that, and it will be focused on one big storyline, like a story arc in a sense."

    It has already been confirmed that Deidre Hall(Marlena Evans), Alison Sweeney(Sami/Stan "Stami"), Arianne Zuker(Nicole Walker), LeAnn Hunley(Anna DiMera), Thad Luckinbill(Jeremy Horton), Bree Williamson(Alexis Kefer), Michael T. Weiss(Mike Horton), with an occasional appearance from Dan Wells(Stan), will all leave LIS to star in the mini-series, however a few of them may make some appearances on LIS from time to time(and vice-versa). Also, Thaao Penghlis(Tony DiMera) shall continue to be on contract status on LIS but also on the spin-off.

    However, for now, this is all the news on the spin-off that could be revealed! Keep an eye out for the full cast list, the premeire of the spinoff, and its name!

    In other LIS-related news, Missy Elliot(Suga), Gregg Marx(David Banning), and Ashley Benson(Abby) have all exited the cast, as Elliot and Marx's short runs have come to an end. But the door is always open for any of these to return!

    LIS/AOTH PREVIEWS!

    By daysfan,

    "Summer's been slow for LIS but AOTH has been in high-gear and a huge success," Tara Smith says "But its going to soon be over and you won't believe how it ends."

    Affairs Of The Hearts:

    "I can't say much but ML promises that the finale IS coming up and there will be a MAJOR EXIT in a MAJOR WAY. LIS will NEVER BE THE SAME! Its never been done before on any blog or Days itself and is a very risky move...believe me, its HUGE!"

    Life in Salem:

    The DiMeras: "Their reign over Salem is really tightening, and Stefano has some big plans in store and takes over a huge part of Salem in a massive way! Vivian enters this story and Kristen finds a new love, while Megan has a mysterious new plan to get Bo for herself. However, along with power, always comes trouble. The DiMeras eventually will all get whats coming to them."

    The Business War: "Its really been intense since Spring but it only gets better when suddenly something changes everything and none of the characters in this story saw it coming!!!!!!!!!!! Forrest and Billie continue their happiness but the trouble of Titan and Kate coming back troubles them, and Nicholas and Belle encounter major relationship problems and she also finds someone else. Valentine is just Valentine, and Justin and Victor try to take over Alamain but Alamain may not be the only company to be bought out!"

    Maggie/Abe: "They finally become a couple, but they have some more trouble coming once AOTH joins back with LIS: Abe's son and ex-lover Faye and Brandon are back in town...if Maggie thought that fighting Lexie was bad, wait until she sees what she and Abe face next!"

    Steve/Kayla/Stefan: "This story shall hit a HUGE climax soon!!!"

    Other: "I can't say much but...a huge Fall story is in store! Bigger than anything we've ever done before...and a killer's heading to Salem! Be ready because it will change everything more than the stories like The War or the SS ever did! And also, a massive exodus on LIS is beginning! So many characters will be gone by 2008's end, its huge!"

    DEIDRE HALL OUT, ROBIN STRASSER IN, ERIKA SLEZAK, ERIC WINTER, AND ALEXIS THORPE ALL RETURN!

    As "Affairs of the Hearts" concludes, and the last of ML Cook's episodes have aired, exits and arrivals come to LIS! First, the most shocking announcement of all: Deidre Hall, who has been CENTRAL to the canvas of LIS since its premiere, has been fired when her character Marlena was killed off by Stan/"Stami"(Dan Wells/Alison Sweeney). A move that has stunned fans, and it also means that another one of the "Big Four"(Roman Brady, Marlena Evans, Bo Brady, Hope Williams Brady) has been cut.

    "It was ML's idea, and a great one at that, and he executed it so well, and I hope the aftermath I have written will par up to it. I must say as much as I love Marlena, sometimes it is a person's time to go, but...this does not mean that we won't see her pop up again someday. You just never know with LIS, and its about to go into a BIG shake-up." Tara Smith said

    Also...it has been announced that Robin Strasser and Erika Slezak will be bringing their "One Life to Live" characters to LIS!!!!! Slezak was on recurring status from 2006-2007, until abruptly being fired. "This is a story that I know fans want continued, and it needs to be continued. When Viki/Nikki left, it had just been revealed that back before Victor came to Salem, he was involved in a love triangle between rivals Dorian and Viki. I am going to continue that and LIS needs them both in Salem, and also fans may remember Viki's alter, Nikki Smith's, attraction to him. But of course there is Celeste. There is a story here that has loads of potential."

    Also, two more returns are coming for LIS! Alexis Thorpe(Cassie Brady) and Eric Winter(Rex Brady) will be returning to LIS on a permanant basis right as the aftermath of Marlena's death commences. "They also have dropped stories on LIS that need to be picked up, and I feel they are vital to the cast."

    This isn't the end of the returns/exits for LIS. A major shake-up, storyline-wise and cast-wise, is confirmed to be on its way. It is rumored vets will return, new blood will be put in, and many from the current cast may exit. Also, almost all actors on AOTH have returned to LIS and will be regulars on there.

    Also, two minor returns have been announced: Lisa Robin Kelly(Jill Stevens) and Daphne Bloomer(Eugenia Willens) shall be coming to LIS! Both were very minor on Days, but are rumored to have recurring roles on LIS and be involved in an upcoming story. And lastly, Dan Wells(Stan/Stami) last aired in the finale of AOTH, and if/when he will ever return is unknown.

    MAY SWEEPS PREVIEWS!

    By daysfan,

    "EVERY single month this year has been action packed for LIS," Tara Smith says "But May will probably be the craziest month yet...or perhaps the one you'd most want to tune in for. We'll see pay-offs to some stories that have been going since the Fall of last year, and also plunging into new stories."

    The Secret Room/The Baby Switch: "This story will be the highlight of May...at long last, Jan will get out of that room and Greta's reign of terror will come to an end, that I can tell you. Also, Lucas and Eugenia's wedding is this month....the two think they have happiness, and Eugenia will get to walk down the aisle, but expect the wedding to all go to hell in a handbasket thanks to Jan....then of course there's the baby switch...that story shall truly begin here...but it won't be as long as many of the other baby switches around. But we are reaching the height of this story, and the pay-off for people wanting Jan out of the Secret Room."

    Marlena's Death: "That story has just started to pick up again, and for fans who are sick of this story, I will tell you that it will be another one that wraps up in May....Sami will finally find a way to prove herself innocent, but will it be through Nicole? For fans who don't remember, Nicole found out Stan was Sami at the fashion show LAST May, but ended up getting shot before she could tell anyone....Sami will move on to a new chapter in her life, and finds herself very close to Brandon and Carrie after all this....romance is also in the air for Nicole, who will get some happiness."

    Victor/Celeste/Dorian/Suga: "This story, which has been slower up until this past month, shall really pick up in May...Suga's role on LIS will finally come to light when she comes into this story, and Victor thinks Dorian put Celeste in a coma and vows for revenge...however, when Celeste wakes up this month and reveals that it was truly Greta, will Victor realize he's made a huge mistake? Dorian also knows about Crystal killing Peter, and that will be played on this month."

    The Custody Battle: "We'll see this again, at long last, this month....the custody battle is still fast approaching, and Destiny vows to find SOMETHING on the Galore's for Will and Arianna's sakes....she may come close to finding out all about Stefano and Kate hiring Crystal back in Janurary, but will someone stop her before she can actually find out? We'll see, but all these characters will be moderately frontburner this month."

    Jeremy/Alexis/Cassie/Mike/Robin/Laura: "This has really been on alot in April, so it may take a bit of a downtime this month...but Mike confronts Robin on all her lies, as Laura continues to wonder what to do, but she knows she's not going to give up...Alexis also doesn't like the relationship Jeremy and Cassie have, and vows to take both Cassie and Robin down, as Jeremy continues to be in the middle of everything."

    Vivian vs. Valentine: "Valentine will move into the DiMera Mansion and make Vivian's life hell, as a war begins for the DiMera Dynasty...expect this to possibly pick up a bit more in June."

    Anna/Tony/Kate: "Anna continues to shun Tony as he tries to get back in her good graces, and he and Kate are both distressed by the fact that she knows about their one night stand....Kate will also be involved with Lucas/Eugenia, and doesn't want her involvement in Peter's death to come out....for Tanna fans, do not fear, happiness isn't far away!"

    Hope/Bo/Kristen: "Hope fully cuts herself off from Bo this month, serving him with divorce papers, as Kristen and Bo kind of re-establish their friendship...Megan and Jill also continue their little pregnancy scheme!"

    Maggie/Abe/Faye: "We saw this story on a little bit in April, but sadly, don't expect much more in May...however we will see Abe and Maggie more than usual, and this story will pick up later on."
