Here's a clip from the infamous "Buried Alive" storyline from Days of Our Lives. The Reilly-penned tale, featuring Crystal Chappell (Olivia, Guiding Light) as Dr. Carly Manning, Robert Kelker-Kelly as Bo Brady, Michael Sabatino (Vince, Guiding Light) as Lawrence Alamain, Erik Von Detten as a young Nicky Alamain and the incomparable Louise Sorel as Vivian Alamain, helped catapult Days from Number 7 to Number 2 in the Nielsen Household ratings where it stayed for much of Reilly's first run as head writer of the NBC soap. The storyline saw heroine Carly being buried alive by a psychotic Vivian to prevent Carly from "stealing" Vivian's nephews Lawrence and Nicky away from her. It was also the culmination of the wildly popular Bo/Carly/Lawrence triangle that carried Days of Our Lives during the early 90's. READ MORE

"GOTCHA!"

At least, that's what it looks like Steve is saying to John in this screencap from Tuesday's episode of Days of Our Lives.  I can just hear Stefano saying 'I would help you Steve, but I have DiMinions for that."

LOL - what is your first reaction when you see this screencap?

Just when you thought it was safe to roam the streets of Salem, it ups and changes things for you entirely.

Word on the Internet is that Steve Blackwood (ex-Bart)  may be returning to his old stomping ground  on Days of Our Lives

Could  Blackwood, who played Stefano's loyal henchman and the show's comic relief, be returning just in time for his old boss Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) return? Question, didn’t we see Bart die onscreen?

Rumor has it  Blackwood may play Bart’s twin brother this time around. Can you imagine if Days had them BOTH onscreen?  Robo-John (Drake Hogestyn) is already ruling Salem with an iron fist along.  EJ (James Scott) is now his right hand man, with Rolf (Will Utay) as his trusty sidekick. The return of Stefano and possibly a pair of twin henchmen just might prove to be more than  the Salem PD and/or the Kiriakis men can handle!

Just when I thought I’ve seen it all Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) goes and pulls another stunt on EJ (James Scott) and Sami (Alison Sweeney). Yesterday I fell out of my chair when I saw Lucas giving Sami an ultimatum of either her or EJ to move out of the Dimera mansion.

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that house EJ’s family home?! John )Drake Hogestyn) is still Sami’s stepfather even though Marlena (Deidre Hall) moved out. You’d think that Lucas would say, “It’s either him or me Sami,” not having her moves out where else is she going to move to since the last time I checked Sami doesn’t work. I know Lucas is on house arrest but he can also move elsewhere like he’s also been itching to do. He could move into Alice’s place and we can get a sighting of the old gal and have someone in the family homestead. Hell he can even move in with his mom and take care of her when she gets out of the hospital she will need the help. If its mansion life that he’s craving he can even bunk up with baby brother Philip, lord knows he needs a friend besides a female one right about no. READ MORE
