This Week in Salem 

Steve and Kayla are back in town, Bonnie then gave Justin a I told you so about super couples

“Was Bonnie correct in her assessments?”

“The police questioned and couldn’t hold Claire on the church bombing Belle and Shawn want to take Claire back to Hong Kong Claire refused she wants to make things right with Ciara”

“Should Claire just cut her losses and go letting time heal all wounds?”

“Clyde’s sending Ben a wedding present makes him a bombing suspect”

“Could Clyde have been responsible ?”

“Ally wants to live with Eric and Nicole because of Sami”

“I can understand that But im really conflicted on how old Ally is supposed to be some of her comments and actions are conflicting”

“Ciara went to see Clyde about the bombing Clyde showed actual concern and suggested Orpheus as the bomber”

“That makes sense considering it’s his MO ”

“Could Orpheus have been behind this?”

“No he’s in one of those supermax prisons now”

“That’s what Rafe told Ciara ”

“Why was Orpheus Moved?”

“Maybe one day we will find out”

“Ben is alive and being held by Eve Donovan”

“GASP I’M SHOCKED NEVER SAW THAT COMING”

“I bet you were how long have you known”

“Rolf told me”

“So you about Vincent, his  Protégé ?”

“Yes Rolf has got a couple of those”

“What are your thoughts on Vincent?”

“Eve’s plan is to bring back the necktie killer and then have the necktie killer through brainwashing”

“I know it’s pretty weak why she doesn’t just kill him is ridiculous.. And from what we were told she doesn’t have to brainwash him just have ensure his medication wears off”

“I’m pretty sure they forgot about his meds ”

“Are you frustrated with the Ben meds inconsistencies?”

“Chad was surprised when Li Shin told him Gabi was actually good at her job”

“Is Gabi  sleeping with Li  ?”

“Not that I’m aware of ”

“hmmm”

“Is it a good idea to trust the gold digger was that a good idea?”

“Ally arguing with Sami about her getting rid of Rafe as a potential dad caused her to go into labor”

“Will Sami ever learn ?”

“Nope doesn’t matter though as Rafe post David wasn’t going to take the baby anyway they already established that”

Yeah but the holding of the baby may have changed that. Speaking of Babies  Ari is going to get her Puppy”

“I’m happy for her can I continue please Could Rafe change his mind?”

Ciara found out Claire was telling the truth about everything

Ciara and Claire are making out a list of suspects without considering a family member of a victim

By Robert Feldmann

Somewhere in Salem John is being held by Orpheus. Orpheus wanting to check on his has money left the room

“Hey John how’s it going?”

“Bob.. Thank God can you get me out of here please hurry Orpheus will be back soon”

“John you know i can’t just out and free you that’s against the rules, what would Stefano say?, but don’t worry Marlena is assembling a crack  avengers team as we speak”

“Oh Hey there David cute kid  Maybe he can help you don’t worry john I’ll tell Marlena your all tied up at the moment HA HA HA ”

“Your hilarious Bob” Bob left for Marlena’s

 

This week in Salem

Orpheus wants ten million for John’s safe return

“Ten million that’s allot of money”

“Not for john it isn’t if you need some ready cash i brought some”

“Couldn’t you have saved him Bob?

Sorry Marlena he was being guarded by a little boy ”

“Rafe told Xander that if he and Victor didn’t interfere the way they did the police would have determined Maggie wasn’t drinking the night of the accident”

“Thinking betrayed Orpheus took David ”

“Marlena did you know that John’s kidnapping marks Salem’s 995th kidnapping since 1982”

“No i don’t keep track of such things”

“We should hold a contest to see whose number 1000”

“Are you tired of all the kidnappings over and over and over again?”

“Sarah and Brady bonded over their hatred of all things Victor and Xander Alcohol was involved”

“Uh oh”

“Xander was there to save Maggie”

“I’m very glad for that”

“We all know that  Maggie has allot of healing to do now

“”What did you think of Suzanne rogers performance during this difficult story?”

“Emmy nom”

“Rafe went to get David and instead saw Zoe tied to a chair  Zoe told him everything she knows Naturally Rafe doesn’t trust her”

“has Zoe proved she can be trusted and what do you think of the new actress ?”

“Super-Agent 007 is trying to get David to help him escape”

“…that’s…… kind of sad,,,,”

“Should john involve the boy?”

“Marlena enlisted Steve to help find john Hope and possible Rafe are also going to help”

“AVENGERS ASSEMBLE”

“Orhpeus called Marlena and was smart enough to figure out she assembled a team together”

“Naturally he’ smarter than he gets credit for.”

“Was it obvious that he would know or was it a surprise?”

“After Maggie was brought back and up to it Xander told her everything especially the part where she did not kill anyone in the accident”

“Maggie seemed to have trouble absorbing it all but was very grateful to Xander for saving her”

“Will this bring about a new bond between them?”

“Sarah and Brady awoke the next day Sarah was ..what’s the word i don’t know But whatever the word Brady told her that NO they did not have sex, she was relieved but told Xander they did anyway”

“Xander told Sarah about Maggies suicide attempt naturally Sarah was disturbed by all of it”

“More to hate Xander for”

“Will Sarah be able to get past this with Xander”

“Well she did say she never wants to see him again”

“After a while  …Because of Maggie’s insistence she may start to forgive him”

“Ben told Jake more about Stefan who continued to laugh off the possibility he was someone else”

“Is Jake Stefan ?”

“Well the more he says he isn’t the more i believe he is”

“that’s the way Gabi is playing it”

“i know”

“Ciara told Victor she would only work for Victor if he accepted Ben. He agreed”

“Sigh how the might have fallen”

“Marlena would Bo approve of Ben”:

“No”

“Thought so”

“Abigail’s condition may take her to a special clinic in Florida”

“Chad to ???'”

“i assume so ”

“Will you miss Abigail ?”

“Of course”

“Gabi went to the hospital demanding answers on her drug  turns out that her drug is the same that’s been messing with Abigail so naturally they think she’s poisoning Abigail.. AGAIN”

“ROLTFMAO Rolf played her good”

“Were you cheering for Rolf during that scene?”

“Lani arrested Gabi”

“LOL Marlena whose been arrest the most in Salem ?”

“Stefano im sure”

“He’s got to be up there”

“Thank you Marlena” went Stefano’s Voice”

“Sorry let me turn that off,… you know Marlena i bet the phoenix app knows where john is hint hint”

“Tell you what Bob if we can’t find him ourselves I’ll ask it”

“Cool”

Victor kept his promise to Brady and fired Xander”

“Welcome to the world of Goon Failure Xander”

“Will Xander ever get his job back?”

” Rolf had some Fun at Gabi’s expense enjoying how he played her into his little trap he also said that if Jake is Stefan and he didn’t say he wasn’t But if Jake is Stefan back from the dead that he had nothing to do with it”

“If not Rolf Who?”

“Vivian would be my guess”

“Is Vivian behind all this?”

“Kayla unjustly and Unfairly Treated Jake like he was Stefan laying out the reasons why Justin overheard Kayla tell Jake that Steve was the love of her life”

“That had to hurt”

“Do you feel bad for Justin?”

Kayla told Justin that she loved him because he’s everything Steve isnt”

“Which is why she should stay with Justin  but we all know better”

“Sonny guilt-ed  Evan into writing a full confession

“Smh”

“what’s the matter”

“Why would Evan bother there is no point Sonny is  …nothing Evan can say or do would get him back in Sonny’s good graces so Why should he bother”

“Would you have done it if you were Evan”

“Salem Super Spy John Black tried to use a child to help him escape”

“That’s  … sad”

“Johns trained to use everything and anything at his disposal no matter what the situation”

“This is true”

“John’s using of David says what to you?”

“Abigail doesn’t want Chad to go with her to Florida for treatment she wants him to stay with the kids”

“That’s not going to work”

“Should Chad and the kids stick around?”

“Zoe for whatever reason is going to help Rafe get David back”

“Cant kids ever stay loyal to their parents?”

“can Zoe be trusted ?”

“Hope and Rafe sure don’t which is smart”

“Zoë took a call from Orpheus and the credits rolled”

“Will they go with or follow her”

“Thanks Bob but i need to make plans with my .Avengers as you called them”

“Best of luck Marlena I’m rooting for you” Bob gave her a hug she returned it and he left

Time to turn the hourglass

By Robert Feldmann

Nicole entered Bob’s office Bob was excited to see her

“Nicole i need your help”

“What did you do now?”

“Well, i heard about Ben’s proposal to Ciara and decided that  the ring bought for Blanca  the stereotypical  two months’ salary version  was too expensive.. And”

“You didn’t ask for it back did you”  Nicole asked cutting him off

“why should i have spent all that money when i could have gotten her this” rob drops a circular object on the table
“What is that?”
“it’s part of bathroom sink from the restaurant of our first date” Bob put it on and took it off “. See, it fits on a finger ?” ,”so what’s the problem ?”

“Sigh okay sit down and JUST LISTEN”

This Week in Salem

“Jake told Ciara and Ben he had no idea why those goons were after him”

“Why didn’t Ciara run straight to mommy or Rafe ?”

“Kate told Jake that if he WAS Stefan he could tell her”

“Well he probably could look how long she held onto the Stefano thing”

“Shouldn’t Kate have blabbed already?”

“what’s the big deal it’s not the first time “a twin” has showed up in Salem why hasn’t anyone gotten on a computer and did real work to find out about this guy, his garage, his boss, who he pays rent to ?”

“Because that’s too easy for Salem isn’t it”

“Maggie doesn’t know how she will deal with what Victor and Xander did”

“”That’s easy Nicole..”DIVORCE..once she takes Half ..More than Half of EVERYTHING Victor will have no choice but to spend the rest of time making good”

“should Maggie divorce Victor ?”

“Kristen found and freed Rex they agreed to split up and search train stations”

“Did Rex run straight to the bathroom??”

“Don’t think so ?”

“Did Rex change clothes did anyone clean up any messes?”

“Don’t know wasn’t  there”

“Xander and Brady took different sides on the Kristen Victor stabbing”

“Kristens mistake was not rolling victor up in a rug and having Brady help smuggle him out of the house”

“you’re never going to let that go are you”

“NOPE”

“Kristen found Sarah”

“OH BOY, tell me did she just shoot Sarah or have goons take her away somewhere”

“neither!”

“WHAT?”

“Gabi went to See Rolf demanding answers about Jake”

“tell her she should come see me”

“Sure sure BTW i saw Rolf here yet he’s in prison so..care to explain that ?”

“Work release program he gets out for a few hours does some work then goes back to prison”

“Of course i should have realized. Moving on”

“On the Anniversary of Adriane’s death Steve Hope Justin and Kayla all visited her grave”

“Sad touching and very moving Nicole ..Steve and Hope are spending allot of time together do you think?”

“Not sure on that”

“Steve and Hope as a couple?”

“Ben proposed to Ciara via fortune cookie and a washer from a motorcycle”

“Should have cut it out of a necktie”

“I knew you would go there”

“Well if Ben didn’t go all murder spree they probably wouldn’t have gotten together”

“What did you think about this moment?”

“i thought it proved that they are not ready. Love doesn’t put food on the table Nicole, people want to compare them to Bo and Hope ,Well then compare them to Bo and hope on their career paths their planning and their engagement there is none”

“Kristen went in a totally different direction thanked Sarah for taking care of her baby but it was time to give it up” Bob lowered his head and slightly banged it on the desk”

“Oh how the mighty have fallen”

“Sarah in an obviously very emotional scene that may be Emmy worthy gave Kristen her baby”

“Brady caught up to them Kristen told Brady that she couldn’t go back to Salem because of the victor stabbing”

“Sarah went to Rex for comfort…and told Xander she never wanted to see him again?”

“Why did she go to Rex his cheating what caused her to be in this mess?”

“Maybe. But he was the only or first one there” the phone rang

“Excuse me for a second Nicole..Hello  OH Hey Kristen. Can’t talk now sure I’ll wire you some money no problem” Bob hung up

“Sorry about that. Please continue”

“well it’s not like you haven’t done that for me so…”will Sarah ever be able to forgive Xander? Gabi ”

“Possibly”

“Gabi went to see Dr Rolf ”

“Rolf told me about this this was funny”

“They bickered back and forth about Stefan. Jake and who and what did what to who Dr Rolf told Gabi to get him out of jail and he will “FIX” Jake

“Does Gabi realize she is being played by dr Rolf”

“i don’t think so ..Not yet she may never too early to tell”

“Jake is reaching out to unknown help”

“Unknown help  …That probably means YOU”

“its not me Nicole i think its the Shins or the Marconi’s”

“the Marconi’s seriously”

“Why not them”

“Because not many remember them”

“EXACTLY”

“Who was Jake talking to?”

“Ben clued Jake in on his Necktie history  Jake was all doesnt matter we dont wear ties here”

“was that moment odd ?”

“Little bit”

“Chad demanded Rafe arrest Gabi for Drugging Abigail  Rafe without proof told him he wouldn’t do it”

“Chad you…..Nicole what if CHAD is the one Drugging Abigail”

“Don’t be absurd”

“hmmmmm”

“Abe went to see Kate at Dimera mansion possibly on that job Kate asked for, Kate offered him some tea and That triggered another Abigail hallucination chad arrived  and took her to the hospital where the met up with Jack and Jennifer, Abigail thought she was seeing Stefan Gabi and Ben”

“Okay why would she be seeing Ben he’s all nice and reformed now Stefan what he did was inexcusable but when chad and Abigail went off for their Paris trip they sort of hugged it out and made nice”

“Because she’s being drugged and has no control over any of this if Abigail ever forgave Ben will that’s another matter

“Fair enough”

“Abigail then started seeing Orpheus and Marlena arrived on the scene”

“Orpheus..is that some sort of clue is he behind this”

“why would Orpheus  target Abigail ?”

“Maybe he and Clyde are still in cahoots and Clyde still hates what he thinks Abigail did to Ben”

“is Orpheus(and Clyde) a possible culprit ?”

“ben stopped Gabi from turning Jake into Stefan  Gabi told him she would not give up on him/her./them”

“Rolf told me about that.. HILARIOUS”

“Ben gave the syringe to Marlena to hopefully see what was in it”

“Chad knows what happened and wants Ben to help him with Gabi to get her out of Dimera once and for all”

“Will Ben help Chad ?

“No he should help Gabi the rewards will be bigger once Stefan is back in play”

“Who should Chad help?”

“Evan was sentenced to twenty years for Jordan’s murder”

Twenty years please its Salem he will be out in less than three?”

“Is this the last we see of Evan/Christian?”

“Zoë went to see Rafe and she told him that Orpheus was the driver that killed Adriane”

“wow there’s a twist not many saw coming but i makes sense salem staying power wise”

“were you shocked by this revelation ?”

‘what did you think of the newly re casted Zoe ?”

I was But remember this doesn’t excuse Wills Texting will driving But he did serve time for that so  moving on”

“Orpheus went to see Marlena and told him He kidnapped john and demanded money for his release”

“HOLD ON.. JOHN was Kidnapped”

“Yes that’s right”

“John”

“Yes”

“John NOT MARLENA?”

“YES YES John was kidnapped not Marlena”

“WOW just WOW”

“Will Marlena undertake the same steps and efforts john does to rescue Marlena ?”

“How many times has john been kidnapped ?”

“well  since being kidnapped and captured and help prisoner are two different things I’d say Two maybe three times, Victor had him taken and locked up in his house to convince him he wa roman Brady” and Stefano took his body out of the grave after i Accidentally Ran him over with my car”

“That was. Never mind”

“Anyway that’s it”

“Good lets grab Eric and Blanca and eat..btw Nicole My sources tell me that Eric is going to pop the question”

“i know he will”

“Really?”
“Yes…call it women’s intuition. I just don’t know where and when”

“I bet its more than a washer”

“I wouldn’t care if it was a washer”

“Really technically Victors ring was 5 million and Kate’s Lucas ring was another million”

“That’s not me anymore and while am sure Blanca wouldn’t have cared what you spent asking for it back to Downgrade  as you are not in financial dries  is a big no no”

“We are still making lotto money from that time jump”

“GUYS COME ON” went Eric from outside
