    Death Is Not The Endgame.

    Thursday, December 23 2010
    Brady walks in on an interesting scene at the hospital, Bo and Hope hear a noise outside the cabin, and Chloe offers Carly to move in.


    At SPD, the warden asks Roman if he’s been helping Bo aid in Hope’s escape. Roman resents the question. He’s already issued an APB for the pair. They bicker at each other and Rafe says there’s obviously been a mistake. Jane calls Rafe stupid and Roman blows a gasket on her and tells her to shut up. They watch Bo and Hope’s escape video. Rafe’s in awe, causing the warden to tell him he must be new here - Bo has done this in the past! Roman comments that was a long time ago and they bicker some more. After she leaves, Roman asks Rafe to step in as acting Commissioner in order to ensure the department can be a part of the manhunt. Since he’s not a Brady, they’ll be able to help Bo. Roman has a bad feeling about this. They need to find Bo and Hope before they do.



    Outside the mansion, Vivian tells Nicole that she’s going to suffer for what she did to her starting tonight. Nicole sees the photos of her having sex with Brady and brushes it off, saying they’ve an off and on again romance. Vivian grins. She knows about Nicole’s arrangement with EJ. Nicole grabs the photos and leaves and Vivi goes back into the house where Gus tells her he found EJ DiMera for her.


    Brady’s on the pier, leaving Nicole a message to meet on his grandfather’s yacht for their next tryst. Maggie comes upon him, wondering what’s going on. Brady tells him about Vivian taking control of Titan and the mansion. At least Vivian’s not out to kill, but she wants them to suffer. Death is not the endgame, he tells Maggie, who says this doesn’t make her feel any better. Later, Brady calls Nicole and learns she’s at the hospital.


    Stefano finds EJ at Johnny’s bedside. EJ didn’t want Lexi to call him but fills him in on what’s been happening with his grandson. Stefano’s visibly upset but EJ says Johnny will make a complete recovery. EJ blames Samantha. Everything she touches goes wrong. Stefano agrees but Sami didn’t do this. EJ tells him Sami will never see her kids again. By the nurse’s station, Daniel finds a distracted Carly. She looks as though she’s been crying, so he takes her home.



    Adrienne babysits Parker and thinks maybe they should let Daniel and Chloe think he’s their baby. Carly and Daniel arrive and relieve her. She goes home and Daniel and Carly hear a special news bulletin about Hope’s escape. Daniel can tell Carly’s not surprised and is sure that Bo will come home to her. Carly is doubtful and realized what she and Bo had wasn’t right. They both kept secrets from each other.



    At the fishing cabin, Hope urges Bo to turn himself in. Though it was Jennifer she was trying to call that day the warden caught her, she tells Bo it was Ciara. She just wanted to hear her voice. Hope opens up about how she treated Bo and the mistakes she has made. She apologizes. He tells her he made some as well and they can work it out some other time. They need to focus on the task at hand, now. They hear a noise outside.


    Nicole rushes into the DiMera mansion looking for EJ but Mary says he’s still not back and something terrible has happened.


    Chloe sits at the pub smiling to herself as she looks at a Christmas present. Adrienne finds her there. The waitress interrupts and tells them Caroline’s going to freak out. She explains that Bo broke Hope out of prison.



    Nicole arrives at the hospital to EJ’s side. Vivian barges in and wants to talk about the despicable person standing next to him. She tells EJ that Nicole broke their little arrangement but EJ tells her his son has had cancer. He doesn’t want to hear what she has to say. The only thing on his mind is his son. Vivian takes off and EJ tells Nicole to keep her issues to herself. He tells her to go away when she asks after Johnny but she reminds him she was a mother to Johnny for a while and loves him. She tears up and tells him he has to let people who love his son help him. EJ tells her Johnny’s sleeping because of the medication for the pain but that they think he’s cancer free. They watch him through the window and EJ tells her how helpless he feels. Brady arrives unseen and watches Nicole rub EJ’s back. He wonders what that’s about.


    Vivian returns to the mansion and tells Gus her plan to destroy Nicole didn’t go according to plan but she still has plans to torture everyone the way they tortured her.


    At the prison, Lee worries that Hope will tell SPD about what they’re doing at the prison. Jane is worried to and thinks it’d be better off if Hope was dead. Her APB on the couple has instructions to shoot to kill.



    At Daniel’s place, Carly breaks down in sobs as Chloe walks in. Chloe comforts her and tells her she’s staying with them for a while.

    Go Bo!!

    Gosh, that baby Parker is too cute for words....

    Just read the spoilers and it looks very promising. Finally a few new people and yes maybe a new woman for EJ. I think the writers are finally listening to us. Sounds very good, hopefully it plays out that way, and hopefully i am not wrong....

    Hi all,

    How distinctly un-Christmasy things in Salem feel!

    This show is the most depressing one on TV!

    If the writers don't like Christmas they could have just skipped it rather than delivering us all these horribly sad stories. I also watch Y&R and they had a really sweet christmas episode with everyone together and at least reasonably happy, and all the children got to be with their parents and families for christmas.

    I don't want to see the Horton's hang their ornaments, there are practically none of them anyway and no one is happy, especially the children. Ciara's parents are on the run, Johnny's in the hospital, Johnny and Sydney can't be with their mom, Allie can't see her twin brother and little sister, Parker won't get to spend his first christmas with his dad, at least Theo's parents are pretty solid for the moment

    Why would the writers think anyone wants to watch this mess, especially at christmas time, i have five sick relatives some of who we're still not sure will even make it to christmas so why would i want to watch my favourite soap when all if offers on december 23rd is miserable misery for everyone!

    I don't like Carly but i kind of felt sorry for her today. She hasn't been using her brain the last few months, she should have known she was just Bo's rebound woman. I know lots of people like Bo with Carly, but i think we all knew that they were never going to last, Days really needs Bo and Hope to get stable and then take over as the heads of the Horton family and take on a Tom and Alice type role

    I don't remember seeing Nicole be a mother to Johnny other than the fact that they lived in the same house. She was too obsessed with hiding her secret about Syd, and while it was nice when she helped Sami see Johnny when EJ once again had forbidden them to be together after Grace's death, it was only because she didn't want Rafe and Sami figuring out her secret. Not saying she doesn't care about the little boy but i don't think that she needed to say she was a mother to the boy for a while, she could have just said she was worried about him. Once again if she really loved Johnny and Sydney she would have forced Sami to share custody with EJ when she found the tape, she is only doing this for her own selfish wants

    It is nice seeing Bo and Hope admitting their stupid decisions and moving past them, i still like them as a couple but i would like to see both of them grow in their relationship and learn how to get through tough times together instead of lashing out and then turning to others

    aussie-gal - i agree! Parker is super adorable!

    Anyways all have a super day

    little bear - I'm sorry to hear you have sick relatives. It makes it hard to be happy at Christmas.

    I agree, the Johnny has cancer and EJ and Sami's fighting is a miserable story line right now. But Bo breaking Hope out of prison is a wonderful story line. Vivian holding Victor, Kate, Philip, Melanie, Brady and Nicole hostage is very funny. Her captives will find a way out of their situation. It's also good to see Roman in a s/l again. I think he is a wonderful actor and member of the cast. DOOL looks good for the New Year if we can just do something about EJ. He is doing a great job of being heart broken over his son's condition, but that doesn't make him a good father. Johnny needs both parents.

    I was thinking about the difference between Sammi and Hope. Hope is the only one on the show who was willing to face the consequences of her actions even though she knew it meant being apart from Ciara. Sammi on the other hand is fighting tooth and nail to keep from stepping up and turning herself in. If she would do the right thing EJ would have nothing to hold over her. Hope doesn't love Ciara any less than Sammi loves her kids. Sammi doesn't have much character I'm afraid. I too am sorry Little Bear for your sick relatives. That is very hard around Christmas. This Johnny story line doesn't help anyone who might already feel a bit down. My husband and I both are home with flu right now, and I swear watching this show the other day made me feel even queesier than I already did!

    Littlebear...so sorry about your sick relatives.I will be praying that you find some joy in this holiday season.

    I have a questions, why is it that they can't use the tape of EJ confessing that he kidnapped Sydney that is inadmissable in court but they can use the one of Sami comfessing. They were both taped without either one knowing it. What is the difference?? Little Johnny is such a good actor. He is so cute.
    Also, why is Vivian getting away with everything. They have evidence that she was planning Maggie's death. Just don't get it !! Do they really think we are so dumb? Anyway, I still love Days and just wish they would bring back some of the old family core..

    Merry Christmas everyone!!

    I quite agree with all the comments that Days has very depressing storylines for Christmas. Where is the ray of hope? Way to go Young and Restless writers. I guess that's why Y&R is the number one soap on television.

    I used to think that EJ had some redeeming qualities but that notion went up in smoke when I saw the way he practically forced Sami out of her ill son's recovery room. Somebody really needs to shoot EJ - properly this time. I also hate the Nicole/Brady storyline. It seems that Nicole is only capable of loving herself and serving her purpose. I think that EJ forgot that he was out on a dinner date with Sami when Nicole infiltrated and although Sami begged him not to get involved with Nicole EJ still did. Therefore EJ is just as responsible for the mess that Nicole created by stealing baby Sydney as is Nicole. EJ also forgot that Sami had to go into witness protection, while she was pregnant with his child, because she saw the mayor gunned down on the Dimera doorstep. Why does EJ think he is blameless in all of this? Why is Nicole claiming that everything she did with Sydney she did it out of love? Did she forget that she tried to buy Mia's baby first and only swapped it for Sami's baby to cover her own a-s? I am sick of these storylines that lack basic sense and don't have any continuity.

    Apart from all that please hurry up and have Melanie and Philip break up. That couple is too boring.

    Merry Christmas everybody - in spite of Days!

    Now this is the Bo and Hope I used to love!!! I like Carly but sorry, Bo really does belong with Hope, keep Carly on but find her a different love interest, like Daniel, they got good chemistry and since Chloe ruined their relationship which will happen later, he will be free. I am really hoping the writers change history proving just how EVIL EJ is by admitting that Johnny is NOT really EJ's son at all and he is Lucas child like Allie is. It is easy for them to claim EJ tampered with the results and it only affected the parentage of one child. Let them find out while testing Allie and Sydney for possible cancer that Johnny and Sydney don't have the same father...That would be a good story line.

    Posted by Bwarner24 at Thursday, December 23 2010 11:30 AM

    I really, really think that Johnny is gonna turn out NOT to be EJ's! I sure hope so! Won't that evil jerk feel good then? I hope Samantha rubs it in his face so bad he stinks FOREVER! Cause he does! Bahhhhaaaaa, EJ! Boo to you! You monster!
