Now that Days of Our Lives' Hope and Jennifer have discovered a paperweight engraved with a phoenix among their beloved Gran's belongings, they're sure it had to be a gift from the dastardly Stefano. Plus, viewers have already seen that a baby picture found in one of Alice's storage boxes matches one in the DiMera living room.
Who knew Alice had so many secrets! And what do they all mean? Share your thoughts on this intriguing story.

Like others, I too will not be watching Days this week, to give myself a break from childish Sami….I’m finished Christmas shopping though so…
Thank God for cable; I’ll be watching movies during that time.
If this really happens between EJ and Sami I’m done watching DOOL – this is getting really sickening and dumb.
Come on, How patient do we need to be with these new writers?
I am willing to give time to them to re-energize DOOL.
BUT NO SAMI & EJ hook up. How do you expect us to believe Sami can hate EJ as much as she does and then jump into bed, Really?
I AGREE sami is a spoiled brat, but my question is why isn’t she ever at work? i want a job where you never go to work but get paid,also if she works at this big make-up company she needs to dress the part and not like she’s going to the gym.
I just started watching Days in September after stopping two and a half years ago. At first, I thought, wow, the show has finally matured the Sami character, and I like the new direction they’re taking her in. However, after today’s vicious attack on John and Marlena ( who Sami doesn’t even call mom) and the upcoming sex nonsense with EJ, I am totally disappointed. Everyone can be there over and over again to support Sami in her unending screw ups. She is never there for anyone else. She is a perpetual toddler. With Sami it’s always ME, ME, ME… I don’t know if it’s the writing or the actress’s interpretation, but she is too self-centered and vindictive, and I’d like to see her mature or exit.
I too had stopped watching Days for over a year. I was excited about the so called “reset” but have to say that I am fast losing interest again. The show is as big a mess as ever. Bringing back Carrie and Austin was a mistake because they are boring and the idea of Carrie saving John’s ass is ridiculous. Sami tried to kill EJ and he is going to sleep with her again! And we all know that no one in Salem, especially Sami never uses birth control. And anyone can see from a mile away that Daniel is going to turn out to be a Dimera. Right now, the only thing that keeps me hanging on is Jack.
I agree. There is something very doggish about being in the arms of a man you shot, who kidnapped and tortured YOUR HUSBAND. (I saw a bit of the love scene with EJ and Sami).
Sami is a dog–a bitch always in heat. I have no respect for her anymore.
YES!!!!–have her go back to EJ! The pathetic subhumans deserve each other. Rafe deserves MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER.
I don’t like Sami very much this week. I agree she is a me me me person. Don’t forget EJ kidnapped Sydney. So now they are to have second child missing.
These writers are going to have every one cheating. Billy is coming back I bet Bo will be sleeping with her.
I don’t think Sami is a brat. I cannot stand John and Marlena! I do have to agree with Sami that her mom has always taken John’s side any everything. Come on people, she did cheat on Sami’s father with John and get pregnant! Also, if my son was missing and my mom was not there for me, I would be ticked! I do think it is ridiculous for Sami and EJ to hook up again!
All you people are ridiculous! THIS IS A SOAP OPERA!! It has to have these things to make it crazy for us to enjoy! Why would we want to watch a BORING show about NORMAL people who always do the right thing?? THE DRAMA IS WHAT WE LIVE FOR! It doesn’t have to make sense in the “real world!” I stopped watching it for months at a time because it was so boring…I wanted everyone to fight like they used to instead of being so grown up & responsible & NICE…this is FICTION not REAL LIFE people!! Enjoy the madness that DOOL used to be & has finally come back!! I say BRAVO to the writers for finally spicing things up again between everyone & for Sami’s character to finally be the person she always was but had stuffed away to be “good”. This is finally getting good & you guys want to ruin it with everyone getting along & being happy…
I have watched Days for 38 years (Yes I am old ) lol.I have never left a comment before but I am now. I wish I was Sami’s mother.I’d be knocking her into next week real fast.I really thought she had her head on stright but all I see is a spoiled little brat.Rafe you dont deserve her go take her sister like she did to Carrie years back.(Leading up to that anyways) You writers your going to lose this show if you dont come up with some better scripts.I can see it coming
Why dont you all put Rafe and Nicole together.
DOOLFANSINCE1990: I see your point but still, sorry but I like some reality and nice things to happen too. For the most part, I do love watching Days, otherwise I would not watch it, but I, like I guess MANY others, DO want to care about the characters too. It’s just human nature, with some of us anyway.
I care about Rafe, so yeah, excuse me for getting angry at promiscuous “Slutty-Sami”…I just can’t watch a show and not give a damn about the characters and they can be hurt, raped, beaten, killed, whatever, just as long as there is ACTION. Just not my personality and how I watch any TV show–soap or not. I need to care about some and thus get pissed when something bad happens to them.
Okay! We DOOL fans, but enough is enough! OMG! Sami and EJ – sex again! What she be’ll pregnant and not sure if it Rafe or EJ. The writers will have us believing it’s EJ, but then it really will be Rafe! DOOL always use the same storylines….Hope/Patrick/BO (wins); Laura/Mickey/Bill (wins) and Marlena/Roman/John (wins) – Oh I forgot Sami/Austin/Lucas (wins). I am so tired of Sami.
Really, how can Sami has so much for hate for EJ, but no matter what she is back with him. Tired! Tired! DOOL writers.
I don’t even bother watching DOOL – like I use to.
Now that Billie coming back in December – again a breakup with Bo and Hope. Hopefully, the writers will not make Hope a whimp, whinning over Bo. How much can a person take! Now that;s soap!
I said it before and I’ll say it again, EJ IS A BIG SCHMUCK!!! He was going on how if he didn’t set John up little Johnny wouldn’t be missing and being so upset and concerned and taking the blame but as soon as Sami comes over, he starts blaming her, Rafe,Roman,John and her family but he’s the one who framed John it the first place so he’s the one to blame! No one else! I hope John is eventually cleared and the authorities find out EJ mastermind the whole thing and gets whats coming to him and his blowhard FAH THER! The DiMeras will pay one day!
I have been watching Days since the late 80’s. I was excited that Marlena and John were back. Now I am fed up and bored with the show. Same old, same old. I agree that if Sami were my child i would also throw her from one end of the house to the other. The show has to let her grow up sometime. She used to be one of my favorites.
At some point, I would like to see the DiMera’s get what is coming to them. However, Joe Mascola is teriffic in his role.

DOOL has just told every person (again) that it is OK to have unprotected sex with several men, I hope Rafe leaves her cold, maybe Wil should leave the show, we saw the Devil and Marlena for a whole year, I just hope John’s story is short lived.
I’ve watched days since1974.I enjoy watching it still today.I would lime to see Bo and Hope be a stable couple for the show.they are older and should be more stable.we need a couple to look up to.they’ve been through alot.let them be a couple others can turn to

So, these are the new writers. Bringing John and Marlena back has not done a thing for the show. BORING. Sami with her legs open again, no surprise, but glad Will caught the slut. Time to move away from that dis -functional mother. I am loving her two faced drama queen. Oh please not another pregnancy though.
Now, details. Madison is running around in a sleeveless dress outside, Brady has a jacket on, snow on the Dimera windows, EJ in an overcoat. Details, details, details.
I’ve watched this show since 1976, and so many times wonder why. Sami really can’t do much right. Sami and EJ really do deserve each other, and Rafe does deserve someone better, but I don’t want to see Carrie and Austin split up. I’d looked forward to John and Marlena’s return, but John’s driving me crazy with the same theatrics he showed before he left. Chill, John, and act like a rational, human being. Got no problem with Sonny being gay, but hate that they’re going that way with Will. Bring in someone new if you need a partner for Sonny.
What would Alice and Stefano have in common to bond them together? ZACK. Zack did not die in the hit and run. He suffered brain damage and was in a coma, and Alice went to Stefano because he knows the best “Doctors” to get Zack the treatments he needed. That is why Alice’s funds are all over the place. Alice felt it was best for Bo and Hope to think Zack was dead than a lifetime of caring for him in a vegatative state, and with Stefano’s help she could pull this off, I have thought for years Zack was alive somewhere, and found it strange Bo and Hope talked about him the other day. JMO
The Alice/Stefano thing sure is interesting. I don’t know what it could be, just as long as Sami isn’t a DiMera. I’m so hoping her and EJ will get back together. Started watching daily just last week because of Monday’s episode. Can’t wait for more between those two!
Sami never love her Mother , because she caught her sleeping with John . Marlena and John are still together and are very much in love .SHe should forgive them.
Look at Sami . SAmi should be thinking , she didnt care for EJ , yet she had sex with him while EVERYONE was looking for their son Johnny. Will came to look for them to give them the best news but he was so devasted when he saw his mama on sofa messy around with an emeny EJ .. DIMERA DOOR was not locked !!
She should be ashamed , Ill be happy RAFE gives her hell after he finds out of Sami’s sercet sex relationship with EJ.
She is just plain spoiled brat . , she wanted everthing all she wanted was herself !! She digusted me
I hope RAFE finds a very nice lady with a nice personalty , just like him , Maybe BILLIE ? it would be nice cuz I wanted Bo and Hope stay together.
STEFANO’s dark sercet , now Im trying to figure out .Maybe he finds out one of Kate’s family is his child or or or
Make sure Rafe finds out about SAMI’s sercet sex with EJ so EJ can be lose as a MAYER of Salem – let A mature man ABe takes over , he is a great mayor not EJ , too crook he isd trying very hard to ruin everyone’s relationship. that vis not perfect kind to be the SALEM MAYOR !!
Come on ABE win ! out EJ and Nicole too.
ENOUGH of that silly DOOL , they need to straighten everything out if they want to keep DOOL going , I do not want to see them loose their show !!
Thank u
The actor playing the part of Ian is totally WRONG for this part. You can’t understand what he says, for one thing. How can two beautiful actresses let this man hold something in the past over their heads?Change please!
HURRY UP!! I want to see Sami get NAILED!! Expose her for the BITCH she is!!

For some reason, I think Stefano found out when he opened the envelope that, Susan gave Alice info about EJ’s birth and that he was Stefano’s child! . This is the first thing that came to my brain!
There has always been something between Sami and Ej. And through all the bad things that happened with them, that fine line is there. They were in grief for their dead child and what started out in lashing out to blame ended in lust. They can not be that connected and it not lead to sex!
Stephano may not be Ej’s dad either!!!! Could he be a Horton????
