Eric Martsolf

Brady becomes the next victim of Hope and Dr. Baker, who attack him in the park. Brady is also the first victim who’s branded. Hope leaves a Celtic symbol on his back, which represents the goddess of female empowerment, Brigid. Hope then goes home, takes a pill, and falls asleep.

The next morning, Hope wakes up and finds her makeup out and in disarray. She doesn’t remember that when the night-time Hope came home, she hit it by accident and it fell. Hope questions Ciara, who insists that she didn’t do it. Hope is worried about her daughter’s lies and behavior.

Hope gets a call about Brady’s mugging and heads to the station. She is frustrated and feels that she’s not doing enough and has to do more. Roman shows Hope the symbol found on Brady and she recognizes it from when she and Bo were in Ireland with his father.

Hope realizes that the mugger could be a woman. Will Hope set her sites on Nicole?

Shawn Christian and Nadia Bjorlin

Chloe is determined to get to the bottom of the misunderstanding with Daniel and Carly that led to her sleeping with Philip.

Chloe finds the motel clerk, who pretty much alluded to Daniel and Carly having an affair. He tells Chloe that someone, possibly Carly, was playing with her mind and wanted her to think Daniel bedded Carly. After Chloe leaves, the clerk calls Vivian and reports that Chloe took the bait.

When Chloe returns home she finds Carly there and loses it. She accuses Carly of trying to steal her man and manipulate Chloe. Daniel comes home to find the two women arguing. Carly goes to work and Chloe explains what happened with the motel clerk and the lies about him and Carly.

Chloe and Daniel head to the motel and meet with the clerk, who claims he’s never seen Chloe before. Chloe asks Daniel if he believes her and he assures her he does, but deep down, he thinks Chloe is still traumatized by her hysterical pregnancy.

Will the truth come out about Philip and Chloe’s one night stand?

#DOOL Spoiler: Chloe and Philip do the ‘nasty’

Nadia Bjorlin

Even though Philip is married and Chloe is engaged, these exes sleep together this week. Naturally, Vivian has a part to play in this coming about.

Vivian overhears Chloe talking to Nicole about how much she hates Carly. Vivian then decides to make Chloe a pawn in her scheming. Vivian conveniently runs into Chloe and, feeding on Chloe’s insecurities, tells her that Carly is bad news and plays games. The more Vivian talks, the more convinced Chloe is that Daniel and Carly are having an affair.

What Cloe doesn’t know is that that Daniel is having secret eye surgery for his double vision and Carly is assisting. Daniel leaves Chloe a message that he’s working late, so Chloe goes to see Father Matt, who encourages her to go see Daniel and tell him how she feels, reaffirm how much she loves him and wants to work things out.

In the meantime, Vivian pays off a nurse and a seedy motel manager to lie to Chloe. When Chloe gets to the hospital, the nurse tells her that Daniel isn’t on rotation and, in fact, there are rumors going around about how Daniel and Carly were headed to a sleazy motel. Chloe goes to the motel, shows the manager Daniel’s picture and he tells her that Daniel did check in. Chloe goes home and starts to drink.

Philip, meanwhile, is experiencing his own betrayal when he goes to Maggie’s and sees Nathan kissing Melanie. Convinced his wife is cheating on him, he goes to Chloe and two proceed to get drunk, start kissing, and then go for it.

After they have sex, they feel like it’s Philip and Chloe against the world. The emboldened duo leave to confront their respective partners. They find out they were horribly mistaken. Philip comes to the house, ready to blow up at Melanie, when she just comes clean about everything. She tells him about the letter, how sorry she is, and Nathan gave her a good-buy kiss.

Both Philip and Chloe are thinking, “What have I done?”

(Who wants to take bets that Chloe ends up with a ‘miracle’ pregnancy?

#DOOL Spoiler: Hope’s secret life

patti — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 18:42:15 +0000

Kristian Alfonso

Things are not looking up this week for Hope. Between the mugging case at work, her crumbling marriage to Bo, and Ciara’s outbursts, Hope starts acting strangely. She isn’t sleeping well and starts having tremendous headaches, so she gets a prescription from her doctor for sleeping pills.

After taking a pill, Hope goes home, tucks Ciara in and goes to bed herself. Later, Ciara sees Hope coming in from outside. Ciara tells Hope that she misses her daddy and wants to go home. Hope tells her daughter, “Maybe Justin will be your new daddy.” Later, when Ciara tells an awake Hope what she said, Hope is aghast. She is completely confused and concerned for her daughter.

The personal and professional pressures take a toll – she learns that Abe is the latest mugging victim, hears Carly on the phone telling Bo she loves him and then gets a call from school saying that Ciara stole something at school. Hope confronts Ciara about what happened and scolds her. Ciara sneaks into Hope’s room and finds a box hidden beneath the bed – Ciara realize3s her mother has a secret. Hope talks to Justin about Ciara, then takes another sleeping pill before going to bed.

Before long Hope gets up, gets ready to go out and grabs her gun. She sneaks out of the house and the next time we see her, she is sitting at a table playing poker and making a man an offer he can’t refuse! Who is this mysterious man? DR. BAKER!!!

(I’m hoping that we see Hope smoking a cigar while at the poker table!)

#DOOL Spoiler: EJ admits he loves Sami

patti — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:14:18 +0000

James Scott and Allison Sweeney

Even though he has spent the last months trying to make Sami miserable, EJ realizes that he’s actually in love with his ex. It comes as a surprise to him, but only to him. Nicole has been telling him this for the better part of 18 months. His sister, Lexie, has been telling him this for two years. He chose to think they were wrong when actually they were right all along, and he admits it to Lexie on Wednesday.

What about EJ orchestrating Sydney’s abduction? He now realizes that he’s made a terrible mistake and that he is a complete ass. He also knows that if he tells her what he’s done, she’ll hate him forever. If he is able to get out of this mess and woo Sami, will she go to EJ or does her heart belong to Rafe?

#DOOL Spoiler: Nicole faces off with everyone

patti — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 14:44:16 +0000

Arianne Zucker

Nicole is thrilled when a freak hurricane prevents Brady and Arianna from tying the knot in Santo Domingo. Nicole is sure that Brady is the one for her, not Arianna. On the plane back to Salem, Nicole asks Arianna, “Why can’t you just leave him alone?” Arianna gets nasty with Nicole, who in turn tries to get into Ari’s head – just enough to make her insecure that there is a question whether Brady really wants to marry her.

Once back in Salem, Nicole runs into Sami and calls her out. She tells Sami it is all her fault because she’s the one who lied to EJ first, and if she hadn’t, none of this (with Sydney) would have happened.

Sami slugs Nicole and Nicole is like, “Oh my God, you broke my jaw”! As Sami gets closer to her, Nicole clocks her and they go over the benches. (Oh, how I love a good cat fight!) Rafe breaks it up and hauls them both off to the police station. There, he demands to know the connection between Nicole and Anne, but Nicole isn’t talking.

After Nicole leaves, she runs into EJ at the Brady Pub. EJ worries about how much she knows about his connection with Anna. Nicole knows how to get under EJ’s skin and is able to make him a little nervous. She doesn’t get anything out of him, but knows something is up and when she leaves she says, “You are SUCH a liar.”

How will Nicole react when she sees Sydney with Will?

Arleen Sorkin

Arleen Sorkin, who became a fan favorite during her ’80s run as the daffy Calliope Jones, is headed back to Salem this May. At first, the actress thought she was coming back for Alice’s funeral, but this is not the case.

Sorkin is looking forward to being re-teamed with Leann Hunley, Anna, who played her on-screen boss two decades ago.

So far, Sorkin is booked for six shows, and they want to book more.

I’ll be blogging more about Alice’s illness, funeral and the original actors that will be returning in May.

#DOOL: What has Judi Evans been doing?

patti — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 15:48:36 +0000

Judi Evans

In an interview with Soap Opera Weekly, Judi Evans revealed what she’s been doing while not acting. I found it interesting and inspiring and wanted to share some of with you.

Evans works at Rose Hills Cemetery and Mortuary as a family service counselor. When a family has experienced a loss, Evans meets with them to help them through the beginning process. She is there if any issues arise or if they just need someone to talk to.

Evans finds the work rewarding and satisfying to the soul. It gives you a reality check and teaches you not to sweat the small stuff, she says.

“Always remember to say ‘I love you’ and not end a conversation fighting. This job reminds you what’s really important and makes you look at things in a whole different light every day.”

My hats off to Ms. Evans for contributing to society and helping others in their time of need.
