When Max removes Abby from Cassie's hospital room, he tells her that he blames her for this because of her relentless harassment of Cassie.

Rae tells Cassie that she should have been warned by her first doctor that she needed to have a very delicate pregnancy. Cassie says she was warned and tried her best to have a stress-free pregnancy, but Abby ruined it by lashing out at her today. Rae corrects Cassie by telling her, although Abby’s outburst did not help, the baby died because of months upon months of stress not because of this single argument. Cassie recalls how she’s been scheming and plotting for months to break up Abby and Max and keep Jeremy from learning that he is father of the baby. Melissa cannot get over Frankie. The fact that he told her he is going to be with Greta romantically kills her inside. She replays him telling her in her head over and over and over again.

Philip tells his parents that he will stay in Salem until Bo’s wedding in February, but after that, he won’t be making any more promises. Vivian asks Simone to tell her the name of these friends who gave her the baby. Vivian tells Simone that Salem is not that big so she might know the person, or the person’s family, anyway. Simone tells Vivian Annie Douglas’ name. Vivian says she does not know her. Simone then tells her the second name of the “friend” who gave her the baby. When Simone tells her it’s Sami Brady, Vivian’s eyes and mouth open wide. Andy arrives at the hospital to spend time with his grandmother Caroline as he has been doing every day since he came to Salem. He sits and prays at her side. Suddenly….Caroline wakes up!

Bo demands the Fury tell him right now. The Fury informs Bo that it is Salem’s Pretty Little Princess. The line goes dead. Bo calls out to Roman and Shane, asking them for where the call was traced. They realize the call was made from the payphone at the pier. When Shane and Roman ask Bo what the caller said, Bo says that The Fury warned he is about to attack Salem’s Princess! The three man speculate as to who this could be. After a few seconds, Bo realizes who the next victim is. Bo storms out of the police station trying to save her!

She tries to explain, but he says he does not want to hear it and leaves her in the hallway of the courthouse. She cries and seeks out comfort in Mike’s arms. Bo, Roman, Shane, and John are positive that Stefano has something to do with the attack on Alice and Celeste, and they speculate what they can do to draw Stefano out of hiding. Abby lashes out at Cassie and tells her enough of this faking upset and faking fainting crap! Max is taken aback by Abby’s harsh words for Cassie. OPENING. Frankie tells Melissa that he has news for her regarding their relationship. Rae reveals to Simone that baby Keith has gone into surgery for his bone marrow donation. Austin tells Sami again how important it is to build her strength of character. So, he warns her not to be classic Sami and lash out at anyone during the trial. Frankie tells Melissa that he only married Greta in order to fulfill the stipulations of the Von Amburg estate. He says he is still very adamant about using his share of the money to help her get custody of her children. Max scolds Abby telling her that regardless of how she feels towards Cassie, she is still carrying his baby, and Abby has to respect that. Jeremy and Jan bond in the basement of the Dimera Mansion where Cassie has locked them. Felicia reveals to Georgia that is very interested in signing her to her modeling agency, and Georgia is ecstatic. Rae tells Simone that she found something very strange in Keith’s anonymous donor’s file….very similar genetic markers! Simone reveals to Rae that Keith is adopted so he must have family in Salem. It is then that Simone realizes Sami must have arranged for Keith’s real family to donate their bone marrow to the hospital. Simone flashes back to Sami telling her the first step to saving Keith was getting Mike and Kayla removed from the case. Simone realizes that Sami is hiding something very big about Keith’s real mother. Austin proves to the court how Sami was before Alan entered her life. He claims she was a good person and a good woman. Austin proves to the court that Alan brutally raped Sami and then now has come back over ten years later to sexually prey on her son, as well. In a rare moment, Jan opens up to Jeremy and shows rare emotion to Jeremy. Jan breaks down in front of Jeremy and opens up to him about how she was raped by Paul Walker. Jeremy comforts Jan. Melissa misinterprets what Frankie is saying. Frankie tells Melissa that she misunderstood. Frankie says that although the relationship with Greta started out platonic and a business transaction, it changed once they learned how much they had in common. Austin calls John, Roman, Eric, Marlena, Lucas, Will, and the other Horton’s and Brady’s to the stand in order to prove Sami’s good nature to the courts. Frankie finally tells Melissa the truth - that he and Greta have taken their relationship to the next level and they have decided to give their marriage their all. Melissa breaks down in tears and slaps Frankie across the face. Felicia sets Georgia up with a modeling coach named Roo (played by legendary RuPaul Andre Charles), who tells Georgia that if she is going to make it in the fashion world, she is going to have to perfect her runway walk, which she helps her on. Next, Roo and Felicia take Georgia to Salem Place where they tell her to say goodbye to her old look and give her a fresher, edgier look complete with a new, short ’do. When the makeover is completed, Felicia says NOW she is ready to get to work on her portfolio. In the meantime, Felicia says that Georgia has to start losing weight - and fast. At the end of the first day of trial, Roman and Bo tells Austin they’ve seen a lot of trials, and think he has done a very fine job. Austin has won round one. Bo and Roman meet up with Shane, John, and Steve and all five men realize that Kristen is the key to finding out Stefano’s location in Salem. Carrie tries to talk to Austin at the end of the day, but he tells her that he can’t believe her hypocrisy. He says he might stand by Sami’s side and help prove her innocence, but there has never been another woman in his heart, and there never will be, which is more than he can say for her! He leaves a crying Carrie on her knees in the hallway of the courtroom, crying her eyes out. Roo warns Georgia that Felicia has a tendency of being harsh, dramatic, and overactive. Roo tells her to ignore Felicia’s harsh words and focus on the positives. When alone, though, Georgia is shown in front of the mirror sucking in her “gut.” Melissa slaps Frankie for his betrayal and tells him that he has basically cheated on her with Greta. When he tries to object, she says at first it was a marriage of convenience and that he swore up and own that it would go no further than that. She reminds him that he swore they would be together in the end. Frankie tearfully apologizes. Melissa tells him that she never wants to see him ever again! Simone begins to put all of the pieces together and realizes that Sami must have obtained baby Keith illegally. Abby tells Max that he needs to man up and start calling Cassie out on all of her crap, or this is not going to work. Abby screams at Cassie telling her that she’s going to be alone and miserable, and she has no one to blame but herself for all of her lies and schemes. Max begs Abby to let it go and leave Cassie alone! Suddenly, a very upset Cassie doubles over in pain.

Both Janelle and Julie Berman are great suggestions.

I love Adair! I am unfamiliar with the other woman, but you can never go wrong with Adair.

Carrie and Austin named their baby that "died" Roman Roberts Reed. But when Sami and Annie gave the baby to Simone, she named it "Keith."

LMAO!!!!! Love it, Tishy! She has to be able to play 20 years old. But you have the perfect idea.

CASTING CALL! The blog can now confirm that it is doing a vast, four month long casting call for a one of a kind actress to play the role of a blonde haired, blue eyed beauty who knocks the socks of anyone she meets. For the sake of casting, the character has been given the name of "Ashley," but that will soon change when she comes to Salem in the summertime. Ashley is described as a funky, spunky, creative, fiesty, ditzy in some ways, beyond intelligent in others, tomboy fashionista. The actress must be able to play a character who is approximately twenty years old. "This character is going to be huge. She's going to have ties to the past, and she is going to change the course of the show forever. We need the perfect actress to play the role. That is why every actress I come across for the rest of the winter and all of spring is going to be considered. She has to be flawless. She will, of course, be interacting with the younger set - Andy, Shawn, Belle, Philip, but the fans will be shocked, floored, and awed when they find out how she's connected to Salem!" That is why I am looking to you, the readers, for help in finding the perfect actress to play this role!

RUMORS! Rumor #1: It looks like a younger leading man who is outrageously popular with fans will be given his walking papers in February due to a storyline-dictated exit.

A source close to the set says the portrayer was told to keep tight-lipped and not tell anyone else on the cast.
