photo by PR Photos October 15, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Timing anyone? The day that Victor declares he will watch Chloe self-destruct and make sure she stays away from Daniel, a spoiler gets released that Chloe finds out she might not be able to bear children. Keep in mind that Victor sits on the hospital board (with access to records, lab results, etc) and he has history of setting up his enemies to fall ...! October 8, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Interesting that Phil wants to take Mel on a hot air balloon ride, while Steph wants to take Nath on a hot air balloon ride. Over 20 years ago, supercouple Bo and Hope enjoyed a hot air balloon ride after they were married and the rest, as they say, is soap history. Which new couple will actually go on a balloon ride? The next supercouple? September 25, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only CRAZY CLUES OR PARTIAL INSPIRATION? Daniel mentions his deceased wife Rebecca. In the famous mystery REBECCA (1938), the hero's deceased wife is also called Rebecca. The young heroine marries the hero but cannot seem to get out of Rebecca's shadow. The story from the past starts to unravel. It turns out that Rebecca cheated on the hero, so he shot and killed her. And it gets wilder. Prior to her death, Rebecca had an appointment with a Dr. Baker, who later revealed that she was pregnant, but had cancer and would have died within months. How tangled! Even more tangled is that the book REBECCA was written by Daphne Du Maurier - and Stefano's common-law wife and Tony's mother was Daphne DiMera ...! July 16, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Mel admits she could get used to the trappings of the Kiriakis lifestyle ... Lexie reiterates how brilliant Daniel is. Once he finds out Kate has harmed his beloved, he will be out for vengeance and therein lies the problem for Kate, as Daniel is smarter than her ... July 15, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Rafe's souvenir is from Mishawaka, Indiana What's in a name? Sometimes a Hidden Clue ... Mishawaka was named after the 19th century legend of Princess Mishawaka, daughter of a chief. She was said to have fallen in love with a trapper called Deadshot. This angered Grey Wolf, an obsessed powerful suitor whom she had rejected. A war followed. Grey Wolf abducted the princess and demanded she marry him or face death. Deadshot raced to the rescue and killed Grey Wolf in a battle. During the fight, Princess Mishawaka was stabbed in the breast by Grey Wolf. She survived that injury, but later died at a young age ... June 19, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Now that EJ has involved the courts, Sami is about to ask Stephanie to implicate Elvis in her abduction, to prove his criminality and thus justify her not telling him about their baby. But Steph might not be much of a credible witness once her drug problem goes on record. That leaves just the nuns, who could at least attest to the fact that Sami is a caring mother. Matter of fact, Sister Theresa can attest to much more, as Nicole's flashback reminds us that the nun is the one CLUE that could lead to the truth of her deception, and the only clue over which she has no control. Stefano, however, is not without clerical connections ... June 10, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Nicole is now at the mercy of the phoenix, who will eventually flex his muscle the way he always does, even with family ... EJ calls his children the most important thing in his life ... Dan is suspicious of Kate and knows she loathes him ... Nicole sincerely believes Rafe is a decent man ... June 2, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Stephanie has a strange reaction to Philip mentioning their future family together ... Melanie is moved by Brady's devotion to his deceased mother and clearly has much on her own mind ... Sami and Rafe spend all their time being romantic and talking about their relationship. Why so shallow? Because the romance and pillow talk will likely serve as wistful flashbacks ... May 27, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Will declares he is good at heredity, such as deducing what eye color the possible child of two parents could have ... Rafe is a logical fellow yet despite his undercover police background, he has applied for a job in construction. Something is very fishy here and it ain't the clam chowder at the pub ...! Caroline might be mad at Vic, but she sure talks like him these days. Two peas in a pod, both driven by family ties ... May 13, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Stefano earlier spoke while in his weakened state, eyes closed. He may also be able to hear, in which case he is aware of Philip's visit. This is not something he will forget. And once the mob style war ends, the conflict will continue in matters of business ... There was more than one name on Stefano's list ... Nicole assumes she is home free as Baker is leaving town. On the same day, however, she has noticed that Arianna resembles Rafe. Moments later, Arianna, who evidently has Rafe's investigative mind, asks when Syd and Grace were both born ... April 16, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only EJ orders assassin Masi to toss the cell phone he gave him in the river, after the job has been done ... Mel notes that EJ is the kind of man who could make someone vanish without giving it a second thought ... April 10, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Brady lights a candle and asks deceased mother Isabella for her guidance with his love life. The fair Isabella did indeed return as a ghost for a few days back at the beginning of Brady and Chloe, to watch over Brady and assure him that all would be well. Back then, he first felt her presence as a breeze ... April 1, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only EJ suspected Tony's big reveal would be about Nicole. Now the only clue Tony has left behind is the letter B. EJ has vowed to crack the code. It will have to enter his mind that Nicole's doctor used to be Baker (B!) so that will seem as good a place to start as any ... March 26, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Tony DiMera seems very Andre of late and even tells EJ that he has ALWAYS been blind, but it is Andre who knew EJ a long time, not Tony. Tony only recently became acquainted with his brother, as he had been languishing on an island for 20 years, so he would not have said EJ has ALWAYS been blind ... March 24, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Phil may be out of favor with boss Victor, but new favorite Brady will not be a fav for long if Vic learns that Brady shares a dark secret with Nicole, not to mention those secret feelings he has ... When Kate set the Kiriakis mansion on fire some years back in her attempt to kill Victor, drunk Lucas was badly injured in the fire. So her murderous plot hurt only Lucas, not the intended victim ... March 18, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only You saw it here first! Years ago, when Vic wed Nicole, DaysCafe immediately reported the marriage was not legal. Nicole turned out to be still married, so her marriage to Vic was null and void. Now Lucas and Chloe have just wed and, like her best friend Nicole, Chloe was previously married, too - to Brady, Vic's grandson. In addition, Vic calls Chloe the same names he used to call Nicole. Will a twisted version of history repeat itself again in Salem, with yet another invalid marriage ...? February 24, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Nicole bears witness to EJ's DiMera-esque temper as he informs her that she will never take their child out of his family home. Neva! He also curses Brady, symbolically breaking his glass, and orders Nicole to stay away from him from this moment on. EJ has clearly defined Brady as his adversary, thereby setting the stage for the next generation of Stefano vs. John. It's official ... February 18, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only * Phil boasts that no one understands Mel like he does ... * EJ warns Brady that he is a DiMera too and Stefano does not take kindly to traitors ... * Chloe was first driven by passion, now it's guilt ... February 13, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only * Melanie’s photographic memory ... * Phillip’s manipulation of Stephanie ... * Brady’s disapproval of Phil’s ruthlessness ... February 11, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only * Nicole's slip about Sami indicates that she feels she is competing with Sami as a mother ... * Baker warns Nicole that if the DiMeras find out she crossed them, there will be hell for her to pay ... * Stephanie wants an honest, righteous man who does not play by the harsh rules of the corporate world ... * Both Stefano and Victor refuse to back down from the lucrative fuel project and Stefano could not care less about having to break the law. Vic's reaction? He smirks ... * Victor reminds Brady that Nicole tried to kill him ... January 28, 2009 All rights reserved. Link Only Mia decides she does not wish to see her baby before Nicole leaves with her. Guess what this means. Mia will not be able to recognize her baby now, so she will not see that Nicole has ended up with another one, not hers, once Nicole gets her hands on Sami's newborn. And if Mia ever tells her story, Nicole can dispute it with DNA test results, to prove the baby she brought home is a DiMera. There is still one potential glitch for Nicole, however. Tony met pregnant Mia at the mansion and he is no fool ... January 21, 2009 * Sami still wants to speak to Lucas when the chips are down ... * EJ is acting unusually naive as he is played for a fool, which means that when he eventually learns the truth, no more Mr. Nice Guy in the relationships dept ... * Brady is a great deal like John, so who is destined to be his damsel in distress?

January 14, 2009 Warning! Spoiler ahead! As previously stated in DayCafe weekly spoilers, John will be temporarily paralyzed from the injection Charlotte gives him so Marlena takes him overseas (Europe) for treatment. The major clue here is that the last character to be taken to Europe for medical treatment was Stefano, when he was said to have been written off the show. But Stefano got better and returned to Salem! Characters who leave Salem in good physical shape for world trips, exciting new jobs, etc. are oft doomed to not return for years, if ever. Case in point: Jack, Billie, where are Shelle?, Austin & Carrie, and the list goes on. The fact that John leaves for treatment in Europe, like Stefano did, is in fact a good sign, as the story of John and Marlena will not have ended ... January 7, 2009 Slick EJ is in black clothes, unshaven, gives orders to Stefano's thugs, says ciao like Stefano, while Brady insinuates he is the replica of his notorious papa. EJ informs Lucas that Samantha is now a free agent. Lucas gets bothered by the very mention of Sami's name and retorts he does not want Elvis' sloppy seconds cos he has Chloe, who, unbeknownst to him, dreams of Dr. Dan and vice versa! Meanwhile, Sami and Lucas' son Will is about to return to Salem, as we reported in 2008. T'would seem the math for 2009 is starting to add up and boy does it promise sizzle ...! December 4, 2008 * Melanie still has lapses into bratdom, but she is down on herself, too. That was how the redemption of Chelsea's character started way back when. Like Mel, Chelsea also had to deal with family she had never known about and considered herself a party girl, not to mention that Max used to bail her out as well ... December 1, 2008 * Dr. Baker now knows that Nicole is keeping EJ in the dark ... * EJ arrogantly flaunts to the doctor that he is a DiMera (i.e. wealthy!) November 19, 2008 It is certainly worthy of mention that when Lucas claims to want Chloe, he brings up how close she is with his daughter, whose mother is MIA. It is also worthy of mention that when Chloe claims to want Lucas, she brings up how having him has spared her from pining after Brady ... November 18, 2008 * Having met and spoken with EJ, Brady now concludes that he is a typical DiMera, which means that family is important to him, but he still could be capable of just about anything ... * Nick is clearly not lucid. Could a slick attorney not cut him a deal, claiming temporary insanity for holding Mel hostage, and some sort of defense with regards to killing Trent, who appeared to be harming Mel that fateful night at the cemetery...? * Nowadays when John says he does not think he will ever get his old memory back, his eyes are filled with remorse. The emotions are returning. Meanwhile, Blondie is his motivating factor for just about everything ... October 8, 2008 * Melanie is erratic and has memory lapses about the night of the murder, so she is not sure what happened after she dropped the knife ... * The mayor believes the Brady clan's misfortune will be to his advantage. Think again! October 1, 2008 * Nicole reminds herself that miracles don't usually happen to her ... * Lucas implies it was EJ who came between him and Sami ... * New Sami wants a career and her independence ... August 7, 2008 Viewers are reminded of Bo and Hope's romantic time in New Orleans, but it was also in New Orleans that Stefano and his cohort Celeste kept the then presumed dead Hope hidden in Maison Blanche, another DiMera mansion! When she was finally discovered, Salemites were further duped when it was made to look like Hope, whose memories had been erased, was Princess Gina. Only Alice could prove that Gina was really Hope, Interestingly, the mysterious Maison Blanche scenario also kicked off a John-Finally-Gets-His-Memory-Back-Which-Stefano-Stole storyline. Hope's re-appearance was part of the package ... July 16, 2008 * Max is still a celebrity in Europe. * Marseilles has a history of Sicilian and other mafia. July 11, 2008 * Chloe continues to call mom Nancy for advice. Nancy, of Craig and Nancy fame, was played by the very popular Patrika Darbo. In real life, her hubby's name is Rolf. Many fans would like to see Patrika return to Days ... July 9, 2008 * Patch still has contacts who can obtain info whenever and wherever needed ... * Philip Kiriakis seems to want something only when it is not easily within his reach ... July 1, 2008 * Chelsea-Dan are suddenly happening fast, which means that something won't be right cos it's too good to be true ... * Morgan is a step closer to reading Paul's letter, as Phil continues to insist he is on her side ... * Only Bo and Hope's house is blackout-proof ... * Caroline is lonely ... June 24, 2008 * Stefano's mind control interests are brought up ... * Sami's sincere feelings for both Lucas and EJ are questioned ...

Also on Dynasty was Kale Browne who played a doctor. Kale Browne, the doctor on Dynasty, later tested for the role of John Black and lost it to Drake, but he did recently play John's doctor on Days when John died. Now that John is alive, Kale Browne is not the doctor anymore. John's doctor is called Carrington, the name of the main and most powerful character on Dynasty. So what is the message here? Dynasty. The dynasty of John Black continues ... January 15, 2008 * Viewers are reminded that there are both tunnels and caves beneath the DiMera mansion, thus making it an ideal place from which to escape, whether one happens to be a good guy - or a bad guy fleeing ... * According to the Phoenix, things are just beginning ... December 31, 2007 * Stefano considers EJ his soldier. John was his soldier, too ... November 7, 2007 * Lucas has run-ins with both Kate and Stefano on the same day ... November 6, 2007 * EJ chooses the Amalfi coast as a possible honeymoon destination.
