Belle is in tears and Marlena comforts her. She asks the doctors if Shawn is really dead, and they say yes, he was dead even before the paramedics arrive. Belle breaks down and Celeste quietly sobs saying that she could’ve stopped this. She then raises her head up and says “Someone murdered Shawn Douglas….” Everyone looks at Celeste in shock.

Awwwww....Steve and Kayla I love how the DiMera's have had several good additions since you started your blog like Jan, Cassie, Rex. I am glad Jan finally knows! BTW, speaking of her, even though I've always loved her....she's seemed much more likeable since she's stopped obsessing over Shawn.

MELVIN IS OUT.......AGAIN! Shocking, since the actress just returned to Life in Salem two months ago, but it is true. Rachel Melvin (Chelsea Benson) has been fired again, marking her second time cut from LIS and her the second cut in the casting bloodbath that continues to strike. "I really love Rachel's acting....but this had to be done. I blame myself for bringing her back in the first place, because even though she had a new love interest, which was Jeremy, she didn't fit in. We did reveal the email stunts she pulled in November however, so she at least made something of her time back. Chelsea will not be killed off...but her exit will be her own doing. As for her love story with Jeremy, it just wasn't the right time and we are going to take Jeremy in a whole different direction." the headwriter said Melvin will probably last appear in Feburary as she still has some airtime left. In other casting news, apparently LIS has found a person to play Jeremy....but who? Sources say it's an actor from CBS!

A Ravens feather?! Wait.....it's the morning so my brain is scrambled but wasn't that in one of the other killer storylines? I am in more suspense now and wonder why this attacker is copying other storylines. Hmmmm..... Austin and Carrie LOVED the end!

HUNT BLOCK JOINS LIS! Rumours recently popped up that Hunt Block, ex-ATWT star, would be joining Life in Salem as Daphne DiMera's long lost son. Now, LIS has confirmed it! Block will join LIS on contract and will have a love interest, yet at the same time issues with Tony and others. "I'm very happy to have someone of Hunt's calibar on the cast and I know he will do well in this story." the headwriter said when asked about his opinion on Block being hired Block is on contract. LIS would like to SON member King for the suggestion of Hunt, because he wouldn't be here if it weren't for him! And, remember casting calls are still going out for Will and Jeremy recasts, and for the love interest of Abby(Ashley Benson).

Loved all the drama and aftermath of the last episode! It was all great! So Marlena could be putting on an act and doing this for a bigger goal....can't wait to watch this play out. I wonder who the person on the other side of the phone. I never expected this twitst in her story!!!!!!! GREAT episode!

If Trish does lose this baby I hope Victor pays.....dearly. I love Livvie so much! I love how she calls Ted Teddy and that line "Are you going to let the pretty one die?" I also LOVE this week's banner.

Episode#88 -Chelsea is surprised to see Jeremy. She says she didn’t know he was a party boy. -Celeste screams when Shawn’s body slips out of the car! She says she was too late. The paramedics quickly grab his body and put it on a stretcher, then they check for a pulse, but minutes pass and one shakes their head at the other, then they sadly role the stretcher into the ambulance and drive off. -As Bo and Hope are at the Pub, suddenly Faux Roman walks in, he has a sad expression On his face. He tells Bo and Hope something terrible has happened tonight that was just reported. -Jan is on the phone with someone at the Spears Mansion, she is talking on the phon, she says “That’s great! I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” and then she hangs up, she then says to herself that Nicole won’t be able to do anything to her with the valuable evidence she’s bringing to town -Marlena asks John why he’s concerned about Victor, and they barely see the man. John replies “He’s been spending a lot of time with my mother, Caroline, ever since Shawn Sr. died. I think he wants her back and I can’t let that happen.” Marlena reminds John that that is Caroline’s business, and then she tries to switch the subject and asks John when he started acknowledging Caroline as his mother. -Billie makes a New Years Revolution, and that is that she will fin a man that loves HER, and only HER! -Sami hopes this year she can make things work with Lucas, but EJ vows to make sure that will not happen. -The person that was watching Lexie reports back to Stefano, and Stefano says soon Alexandra will be a DiMera again. -Helena says to herself no matter how many DiMera’s he has, EJ and her will beat him. She laughs as she leaves the DiMera Mansion grounds. -Nicole pushes Eric away however, saying they shouldn’t be doing this. -Abby also makes a New Years Revolution to find a man. -Bo and Hope are confused, and Faux Roman tells them down by Shawn’s loft, there was a car explosion in the parking lot. Hope and Bo quickly tell Faux Roman to get on with it, and Faux Roman tells them it was Shawn’s car. Hope panics and asks if he’s alright, Faux Roman said he just got word that Shawn was inside and the paramedics thoroughly examined him….and he was dead by the time they got there. Hope screams “NO!!!!!!” and breaks down in Bo’s arms, as Bo quietly sobs.

Nice job with the wedding. Loved the end, but I'm gonna miss Jax a little bit.

It turns romantic in the process, and Steve has more memories of his times with Kayla! -Philip asks Victor why if Claire is Shawn’s, then she hasn’t had any incest complications. Victor lies and tells Philip that is a mystery to him as well, but on the inside Victor knows why! -Lexie is enraged at Sami’s betrayal! She vows revenge on her as she forms into a true DiMera again! -Helena watches Stefano inside the DiMera mansion, and says “Enjoy your power Stefano, because soon my son, will snatch it away from you and you will be powerless.” -The firefighters arrive as well to the scene of Shawn’s flaming car, Celeste tells them inside is Shawn Douglas Brady and they have to get his corpse out! The firefighters try to get into his car but it is upside down and the door is jammed, they continue though and after a long time of trying, the door suddenly busts open in flames and falls off the car, then slowly Shawn’s body falls out onto the ground.

WEEKLY PROMO OF 1/1/07 This week, a mans death will rock Salem.... A man has died....*clips of Celeste watching Shawn's car burn up while upside down* Celeste: Death has taken Shawn Douglas tonight... And his family must accept it....*clips of Hope with Bo learning of Shawn's death at the Pub* Hope(breaking down in tears): NO!!!!!! But who killed him? *clips of Bo, Hope, the Brady's, Horton's, Faux Roman, Abe, Belle, Celeste, Jan, Kate, Victor, and Philip hidden in a corner, at the hospital* Celeste: This was murder....someone wanted Shawn Douglas dead. Abe(looking around): So, if this was a murder, we have over half of our suspects in this room. Don't miss a minute of this action-packed week on Life in Salem!

Wait, so if Boyd was fired.....that could mean you killed Celeste!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!! I just hope that's not the case..... *sigh* to Sami being exposed. I'm guessing that means the baby scheme against Carrie and Austin, too bad Annie isn't there to take the heat with her. I do hope Carrie and Austin get their baby back though!!!!!! But too bad they are leaving. Julie's deal interests me...as does Willow's connection to Salem! I am so glad I can imagine Bree in the role and NOT Annie!

RUMOUR ALERT!!!!!!! Here are some rumours that have popped up lately related to Life in Salem.... -Alot of rumours have popped up ever since Brandon Beemer was fired that the second, and possibly third cut have already been decided. They also say it's a big one! -Other rumours say Hunt Block has landed the role of Daphne's son.... -Also, casting rumours have also said that the Will recast has been decided and Chris Gerse will become part of the casting bloodbath.... -Rumours are swirling that Carly Manning will be back! -In the past week, there has been some backstage gossip that Michael Sabatino has been let go before even airing! -Sources, reliable or unreliable, say that another death will happen come Feburary Sweeps! -Some sources say they have heard that another character from OLTL will be joining LIS, but it's not a current character with the show! Are any of these rumours true? Life in Salem has refused to confirm or deny any of them, so stay tuned to find out!

Thanks....this was really hard, for several reasons, one he's Bope's son, two I love Brandon, three there were a few loose ends I wouldv'e liked to tie up with Shawn here (but that's minor, however one of these loose ends are very important for several characters, Shawn included), four now even though they have twin girls Bope has lost all their sons, and five he is a very important character in Days history because he is the thing that bonds the Brady and Hortons. Like Roman said, he was deadweight. Shelle is over, Shimi's over, Shan's over, I'm not gonna do Shallow, all other women he's either related to or have men, I already have two of my own characters on the show, that's enough, so I'm not gonna make a new one. This had to be done.

Well, as fans who read the New Years Eve episode know, Brandon Beemer(Shawn Douglas Brady) has been fired from Life in Salem when his character Shawn was killed off, just after joining the show several months ago. "I hate having to fire Brandon....especially after just starting to work here. I love his acting, and really wanted to keep him here. Mabye he can return someday, but the reason to killing off Shawn is because, even though there were many loose ends to tie up with the character, after that there would be nothing left to tell with the character. A new love interest was an option, but almost all the women on the show are either Brady's or Horton's. I wouldv'e tried Willow but she's here for Rex, he would never get involved with Jan, Lilly and Erin were in the Max story, so what would we have left? Nothing. And we do not need anymore newbies on the show right now. So, he had to be killed off. The story will make a big impace on Bo and Hope, since they have lost a third child and the night Shawn died was the one year anniversery of Zack's death. As well as Belle. Also, it will make a big whodunnit story. We have many suspects for this murder. So I think this will be an excellent story." the headwriter said when asked about the death So, Shawn Douglas Brady has been murdered, but who was the person wearing the ski mask that strapped the bomb to his car? Jan, scared Shawn would take her baby, or the old "If I can't have you, no one can!"? Philip, getting rid of the "father" of Claire and the man who has been a thorn in his marriage for two years? Victor, doing whatever it takes to ensure his son's happiness? Kate, same motive as Victor? Belle, in a panic mode because she has felt romantically drawn to Shawn? Stefano, wreaking more havoc on the Brady's, or destroy the genetic link between the Horton's and Brady's? So, WHO KILLED SHAWN DOUGLAS BRADY?

Please don't tell me Celeste is dead!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All this stuff with Jeremy is very interesting! Love that he is the father of Cassie's baby! Brilliant! I am really in suspicion over who the mystery person is! I don't have a single thought in mind as two whoever would strike at Alice and try to kill her, wonder what they will do to Celeste! I like the Steve stuff....it's gonna be good drama when it's revealed! I wonder who Greta will make love with!!!!!!!! Wonder what will erupt with Kristen at the party. Great episode overall.

WOW!!!!! I loved the whole episode, but the countdowns were my favorite! I loved how you kept going from one scene to another! I'm not getting Marlena....calling her children brats, aiming a gun at Roman? I'm intereted to watch this play out. Loved Lumi today! Can't believe Bo aimed at his own brother.

Episode#86 -Several days later in Salem, it’s New Years Eve! -Billie finally manages to confront Bo about their relationship, she says they have been tiptoeing around this for months, and it’s time it ends! -Victor and Philip talk. Victor says he’s going to help him get Claire and Belle back. -Celeste suddenly has a vision, and she screams that someone will die tonight! -A person is seen inside a warehouse, wearing black gloves, they are wearing a ski mask, and have all black on. They grab a bomb and leaves. -Someone is seen watching Lexie in jail! Lexie asks an officer what evidence there was against her. -Marlena and John plan on having a nice New Years Eve dinner, Marlena says to meet her there, because she has to get something first. -The person in a ski mask is seen strapping the bomb they got from the warehouse to a car! -Rex is with Willow at her place, he asks why she saved him from a bar. She simply says she didn’t want him to throw his life away like all those other guys. Rex is confused. -A clock is seen, it is fifteen minutes until midnight and 2007 begins! -Marlena is seen walking out to her car, she gets in and tries to find her keys. -The bomb on someone’s car is set to off when the car is started! -Bo is a little confused, but Billie says she wants to sever their relationship…for good. She says she’s wanted to tell him this for a while, but hasn’t gotten a chance. Bo says that he guess she’s right, but he will have a hard time letting go. He tells her he loves Hope more than anyone, but she will always have a special place in his heart, Billie says that’s how she feels too. She says she just doesn’t think he was the right man, she then says their linked for life by Chelsea…but she thinks their done romantically. Bo agrees, and Billie begins to cry, they kiss one last time and Billie goes out to her car! -Celeste is running through the streets of Salem. She says she has to stop this! -Bo and John are also seen going out to their cars! The clock is only five minutes away from Midnight! -Philip is confused, Victor tells him even though he does love Shawn, Philip deserves Claire more than he does! Victor says he has vowed to do whatever it takes to help Philip. He says an excellent advantage is that Belle and Shawn’s are cousins…then he thinks to himself that Claire is not a child of cousins though. -Celeste continues to run through the streets! It is one minute until midnight! -Someone is seen putting the keys in the ignition of their car, and then they start it! One second later, as the clock strikes midnight and all of the hands on the clock are aligned, the car explodes! The car is engulfed in flames and turns over, so the top half is on the ground! Celeste runs into the parking lot that the car is in and screams “NO!” She begins to sob and breaks down and says “Shawn Douglas Brady has died tonight…” Then the screen slowly fades to black…

Hmmmm.....wonder who the mysterious figure is. Interesting..... Like the Roman/Caroline/Victor/Bo/Hope drama. Makes sense too. Now, I know that Bo is involved with a criminal mastermind, so Hope and Caroline have every right to try to get him out of it, but he IS a grown man! They need to keep that in mind. Can't wait to see what happens at the ball! The Celeste vision was great. Marlena is so out of character right now. What on earth happened to her after she fell into that volcano? Darn, I didn't want this episode to end! This seriously left me hanging, and I was really invested and didn't want it to stop! I'm being serious! LOL!

EEEEEEE!!!! I am in so much suspense, I can't wait to find out who this person is!!!!

Never thought of him! If I don't get another better suggestion for Daphne's son, I'll go with him, lol.

Hmmmm......who did you kill off last year? I'll have to think about that for a minute....man, youv'e killed a good batch of people, especially when the Pub exploded. I guess I'll just have to wait and see on this one And the second big rumour sounds awesome!!!!! Can't wait for Andrew to arrive! Same for JKJ! Glad Shane will be back, even for a short stint.

Nice ending!!!! Wonder what Bo's going to do if that time comes. I'm beginning to wonder if this is Marlena.....or if she is not sick or something. She's just acting strange so I can't help but speculate. Belle and Philip are making me curious too.....Belle seems so scared, wonder if Philip is holding something over her head. Again, I am liking the Bo and Victor stuff. I am also liking Victor all around. I can't wait to see who the father of Carrie's baby is. Usually I don't get that invested with WTD stories but sometimes I do...and this involves Carrie and Austin so I am definately interested! Great episode all around, good job.

Episode#85 -Willow manages to take Rex back to Salem! She gets him to her apartment! -Belle tells Marlena that she has to stay away from Philip, because he is obsessed with keeping her and Claire! -John sees Caroline being comforted by Victor, he walks over and says to Victor “Get your hands off of my mother.” Caroline says “John!” but Victor interrupts, he says “I can understand John, even though you have only known your Roman a short time you still probably feel I want her back, and you don’t want it to happen.” -Faux Roman and Hattie catch up on things, and Hattie finds out about Faux Roman not being Roman! She offers assistance in helping him find his identity. -Shawn thinks it’s a trick, and refuses to believe Jan! She tells him it’s true, and they can get a DNA test if he like. Shawn finally realizes it’s true, and grabs Jan! He tells her that he’s tired of all her schemes, and says to her to stay out of his life FOR GOOD, and that their threw, FOR GOOD! He lets go of Jan and leaves. -Helena spies EJ and Sami bonding , and she says “Well well well, what do we have here? It seems some woman could be in love with my son.
