Serial Killer: DOOL [Archive]

As much as I hate to admit it, I'm loving the serial killer storyline on Days of our Lives. I really hate to see all of these wonderful characters go (Jack was one of my all time favs) but at least the show is watchable again. It's not only must see TV, it's can't miss TV! I've been a DOOL fan for a loooooong time and I'm extremely curious as to how this will turn out!

Yes its incredibly sad for me. Maggie, Suzanne Rogers, is my favorite character on the show, and she's set to die a grusome death.

I didn't really care for Jack or Abe, but it was sad seeing their wives greive over them.

I know Cassie and Caroline are dying too...I thought Cassie was set for a long run...oh well.

I say kill Marlena and we'll all be shocked.

Abe is dead? OMG, I can't believe it, they're killing off some of the best characters with rich history for a serial killer storyline. The storyline sounds good, but what's days gone be after it's over.

Who's the serial killer? I got to watch Days

I used to watch days in High school when it was still good without all the extra stuff right around the time Roman came back and Sammi was scheming to stay married to Austin.

By the way how did the mystery with the Gemini twins end?

I'll be glimpsing at Days, but I am still a #1 Young and Restless fan, that show is get so addictive again.

abbylexis, we soooo love the same shows!! DAYS and Y&R are my favs (I think we've talked about this before!!). I feel so bad for Ashley. I wonder what will happen when Victor goes to visit his father...Lately I've been loving every Dru/Phyllis moment!! They steal every episode with their banter. Kathrine and Jill have been interesting too, their "bonding." Somehow I think that once they get close, somehting will come out and it will be proven that they aren't really mother and daughter. No blood test was ever done to prove this after the fact. Then Billy and Mac (the shows only watchable teens!) can come back!

Did you know Victoria is leaving? I wonder if they will recast her?

Since we are about four years behind in Days in Australia, would someone please be able to tell me who the serial killer murders? Is it mainly the older cast members such as Maggie and Caroline? How are they being bumped off?Cheers!

If you really want to be spoiled...

Abe got shot and died.
Jack was hit on the head with a brick and died (his organs were even donated and his spirit visited Jen).
Maggie is next to go...Not sure how she will die.

Others that are rumored to be leaving....

(SPOILERS)
Carloine
Cassie
Tony
Roman

We'll see.

Thanks for the info Bret. I used to watch Days but for the last 6 years have lived in area where it doesn't air. We only get The Bold And The Beautiful and Passions(YUCK!!!) here. B&B is only a few months behind the US so that's not so bad.
Thanks again! http://www.ultimatedallas.com/granny/Thanx.gif

Passions is http://images.bravenet.com/brpics/smilie/censored.gif.
James E. Riley is a decent writer, but Passions is just way too over the top and way too 'teeny.' I wish NBC had kept Sunset Beach instead of that crap (they should have kept Another World too, even though I never watched it).

I only came across Passions by mistake while channel surfing. I commented to a friend that I wasn't sure if the cast were SUPPOSED to be chewing up the furniture and it was all being played for laughs. If this is the case, they definitely missed the mark. Without a doubt the worst show I have ever seen, and I've seen a few bad ones. http://images.bravenet.com/brpics/smilie/22_yikes.gif

one life to live is doing a serial killer storyline and it will be Ty Treadway the killer. He is coming back for a short stay on the show in a mysterious storyline, so he's gotta be the killer.

That's such a rip-off, Valentini is stealing ideas from Days

BretEwing

I have to admit, the serial killer storyline is heating up! Today was one of the best episodes in recent memory and it certainly adds mystery as to who the killer actually is (or, in this case, isn't). My money was on the loopy Bonnie, who interestingly enough showed up (in her current form) in Salem right around the time Bo and Hope were attacked at the fashion show. However, one clue was given today that I find extremely interesting. When the killer was coming toward Mickey and Maggie's home he/she had flashbacks to prior "kills." Included in this retrospective was the failed attempt on Maggie's life while she was in Marlena's office. Shouldn't Bo and Hope's fashion show attemp and Hope's basement attack with the brick used to kill Jack be recalled also? Or does this indicate a second, less successful, killer? Either way, Maggie's reaction to the killer was interesting in itself: she certainly does know the identity of the Salem Stalker. My money is on none of the suspects. Only Lucas and Tony have killed, or tried to Kill before. Sami doesn't have it in her to kill, nor does Kate. Rex is the red herring in the situation. We know that Lexi (who is not a "suspect") couldn't have done it because Celeste called her the night Maggie was attacked (today's episode). Bo and Hope couldn't have done it (nor should they have) and the teen set (minus Rex) are all ruled out (unless my second killer theory holds up). My money is actually on the killer being a woman. The killer's methods have been less strength and more oppertunity (guns, bricks and bottles/knives). Once more, the drawing Maggie made seems to indicate a females eyes (at least in my mind). My guess? Marlena could have done it (she mysteriously disappeared from her office when Maggie was attacked) under the control of Stefano. Or, more likely, Hattie could have returned and could have been pretending to be Marlena for the past several months. Hope (or maybe Gina) is also a likely candidate, especially if the two killer theory holds up (and if the killers do not know of the other killers identity). Bonnie is also on my list (reguardless of the events of todays ep; second killer).
In short, whoever it is (just thought it really couldn't be Tony, as Maggie wouldn't have been that happy to see him, nor Rex) they are probably not in control of themselves (IE under the influence of Stefano or Tony). For the time being, it's making for great television and can't miss episodes!!!

I agree with BretEwing, the killer is Marlena.

I was thinking about it at work today and thought how warm and open Maggie was to the killer in her kitchen, it seemed like she was talking to an old friend. Most of the suspects she doesn't know that well to act the way she did before she was attacked.

Then I thought, Marlena was "away" when Abe was killed, I think she was in Salem place when Jack was killed, and Marlena left her office to answer her page, then all of a sudden, the killer comes through her window, when most of the suspects didn't know Maggie was there...hmmmmmm.

I might be wrong, but it really makes you think, and I agree the suspect won't be someone on the suspect list. The articles I've read said a very big shock is coming.

Now the big question, will Mickey Horton survive the face to face confrontation with the killer after finding Maggie's dead body in their kitchen ?????????????????????

I bet he will suffer from a stroke or something.

One foil to my Marlena theory: when Maggie was talking to her she mentioned her AA membership like the killer didn't know she had a drinking problem in the past. Hmmm...

Looks like Mickey will survive. Read there will be 2 more murders in November, I think Cassie (yeah !!) and Caroline Brady, Cassie will probably stumble onto something, but I wonder how Caroline will fall prey to the killer.
Also think the killer is not Victor. The way the killer came through the window at Marlena's office showed they were in good shape. Victor could not have come through the window that fast ( no offense Vic http://www.soapchat.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif )

BretEwing

11-08-2003, 07:53 AM

The killer can't be Rex because Cassie falls victim to the killer (and I don't think Rex could kill Cassie under any circumstances). If you read my previous post about the victims, read on...if not

SPOILERS AHEAD...

Tony can't be the killer because he will be a victim. Victor can't be the killer because Caroline is a victim (he had an affair with her that produced Bo, and he still has a soft spot for her, so I rule him out). Kate couldn't be the killer because Roman might be a victim. That leaves Nicole, Lucas and Sami. Lucas can't be the killer because Maggie told the killer that she was in AA and Lucas already knows that. That leaves Sami and Nicole.

Personally, I think Marlena did it. She seemed pretty upset on Friday when Shawn D. told her Rex was the killer and then she told Rex she was Marlena, then stalled and corrected hersefl and called herself mom. Mickey said the killer's eyes were pure evil. Last time "pure evil" was in Salem Marlena was possessed by the devil. Could James E. Riley (who worte DAYS at the time Marlena was possessed) be writing a follow-up to his most famous storyline?

Just speculating.

Didn't hear Tony Dimera was being killed off, only that he had a contract through 2005. I guess that doesn't mean anything since it didn't stop them from supposably killing off Maggie Horton, who had a contract through the fall of 2004, at least she'll get paid for not working for a year. http://www.soapchat.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I still think it may be Marlena, I think the killer will be someone who will really be a surprise. Maggie and Marlena haven't really been close in years, so maybe Maggie just reminded Marlena she is in AA. I do think Stefano will have a connection to the killings though.

CarlD

11-10-2003, 04:45 PM

Hmmmmmm. Now with Caroline Brady's fingerprints on Maggie Horton's murder weapon, my guess is someone stole the whiskey bottle or it was given to them by Caroline. Looks like they're setting up the next murder.

CarlD

11-15-2003, 05:23 AM

Ok, Days is getting silly again. A coffin appears out of nowhere after the lights go out in the church for a minute, with people all around not seeing a thing. It wasn't that dark.

No Marlena at the funeral of her dear friends Abe and Maggie ????? Hmmmmm.

Abe was killed in mid Sept, Jack in Oct, and Maggie this past Monday, Nov. 10. I'm assuming the time between Abe and Maggies murder is only weeks or maybe days?? Mickey said Maggie wanted to have her funeral with Abe and Jack, but don't remember her saying this on-screen.

Still a good story, but it seems to be losing some steam and they're stretching this out a little too long. Just my opinion.

BretEwing

11-16-2003, 11:52 AM

It's still holding my interest! I think the timeline for these episodes has been only a few weeks thus far (don't bodies have to be burried within a certain time period?). Forget Marlena not being at the funeral, where was Jonah and Karen?!?! At least they gave an excuse for Mickey and Maggies daughters not being there. Shouldn't Laura have been there!?!?! Oh well...

Good questions. And what about Doug and Julie ?????? (who still live in Salem, correct, but are usually only talked about).

From what I hear, one reason for these cuts is to save $$$$$, so I guess to bring all these people back, wouldn't be saving $$$$$$.

Did like seeing the original Marie Horton and other old cast members at Tom Horton's funeral a few years back. But Days and daytime soaps weren't struggling like they are now with ratings, etc.

I know this is going out on a lim, but I keep thinking that either Marlena or John is the serial killer. I don't think it's Rex and I don't think it's Victor. The biggest twist of all would be if it was Belle or Shawn.

CarlD

11-30-2003, 06:22 AM

Read in Sunday's paper (11-30) that Thaao Penghlis' Tony Dimera will indeed be the killer's next victim, as some have said on here before.

Here's a shocker.....Josh Taylor (Roman Brady) has also been let go, but the article didn't say if he is a victim of the killer or perhaps HE is the killer. If you saw the Friday Nov 28th episode, there were many hints that Roman may be the killer.

A complaint about Taylor has always been he never filled the shoes of Wayne Northrop as Roman. Many feel that Wayne Northrop is to Roman what Deidre Hall is to Marlena, you can't replace the character with another actor. Maybe this is happening to once again lure Wayne back.

ChrisSumnerMatheson

11-30-2003, 09:47 PM

Wasn't that sad about Cassie? Truly devestating. The most promising of the young talent on Days. She's great. It was so sad seeing her there dead...in the pinata!

Major Spoilers

Roman dies on New Years Eve, and Tony dies in January, when we'll learn who the killer is. Keep in mind, the people in Salem still won't know, and there'll be 5 more killings, but we will know...I wonder who the five is.

Wow, that's a lot of killings !!!! It'll be great drama for the audience but not the characters to know who the killer is.

With Tony gone, I guess the Dimera's will sadly be gone from Days, unless they bring back Stefano. Did read awhile back that James Mascolo ( I think that's his last name ) who is now on The Bold and the Beautiful, is not interested in doing Stefano again on a full time basis, but a short stint interested him, how great it would be to see Stefano for the February sweeps !!!!!

12-06-2003, 04:53 PM

Well, B&B had this deal.

The actress who plays Margo is on Days, so they let her go back to B&B for like a couple weeks earlier in the year, but thats means that Stefeno gets to return to Days sometime. And they still haven't used it, so expect him to be back.

Also, does anyone know who the actress is? I have no idea, lol.

I'm guessing one might be Mickey. And I think Marlena is the killer, with all the talk of Stefano.

BretEwing

12-10-2003, 02:48 PM

My new theory is that Jan is the killer. I'm guessing she killed her parents in Europe as well.

Marlena can't be the killer because Maggie told the killer she was in AA and that (whoever she was talking to) might not know that. Marlena knows that, they even talked about it in therapy the day Maggie was attacked in Marlena's office.

John would be my suspect number 2. I also think Celeste might be the killer. Her "evil" eyes showed up when channeling Abe. Also, she knows the most about the victims and the MO of the killer. I think some evil spirit might have taken over her body.

-Bret

12-11-2003, 08:45 PM

Cassie said when the identity of the killer is revealed, it would devestate many lives. Jan isn't important to anyone in Salem, plus Cassie never met and doesn't even know of her. Celeste would be hurtful, but she and Bonnie came face to face with the killer on the pier, she also was shown to be in different places when the killings went on.

I'm sure whoever the killer is, they'll be possessed or something like that, which will give them an excuse to stay on the show. It does sound like Stefano is behind it all though.

CarlD

12-14-2003, 08:11 AM

Well, Jan was at the gym, where she very easily got into the mens locker room (never would happen in real life) anyway, she was there when the killer came out at Sami at Kate's apt, or so it seemed, so that would rule her out as the killer. I believe if the killer isn't a major or semi-major character, the story will be less meaningful.

Also wondering about Victor (John Aniston). The actor was going to be let go by Days' a few years ago, until Jennifer Aniston, "Friends" star and John's daughter, suggested very strongly he not be fired. Now with "Friends" ending in May and Jennifer no longer with NBC after that, wonder if John will be let go by Days, perhaps being another victim, John is not a "contract" actor, which is surprising since he's on it so much.

12-15-2003, 01:14 PM

Like a "serial killing spree" means anything in the town of Salem, USA. That show is notorious for bringing dead people back like it's Easter Sunday! Bet you Suzanne Rogers comes back as some other kind of character, a "Maggie" look alike, so then "Mickey" can have romance again.

01-04-2004, 06:37 AM

EXCELLENT Jan. 2 episode of Days, Roman gets slashed by the Salem serial killer just before midnight and left to bleed to death in the Tuscany kitchen.

I think it was the best killing yet, none of this bringing the loved one to the hospital to have long goodbyes and seeing their ghosts who say goodbye. One thing I thought about Maggie/Mickey's attack, a real killer would make sure they were dead before they left the scene, I would think, since Maggie could identify the him or her.

Now they seem to be hinting that Nicole is the killer, but judging by the reaction Roman had when he saw the killer unmasked, I don't think so. Nicole was always a suspect I don't think Roman would have been THAT shocked to see her under the mask. I think it's no one on the suspect list.

ChrisSumnerMatheson

01-04-2004, 06:49 AM

Spoilers tell me Hattie is the killer and Marlena has been kidnapped...but then again this may be a complete rumor.

Other rumors are that it may be Phillip who's never around when people die...I don't buy that. I think its Hattie/Marlena!

BretEwing

01-04-2004, 08:09 PM

These aren't spoilers...just theories...

How could it be Marlena OR Hattie? Maggie wouldn't have had to tell her she was in AA and Marlean wouldn't have poisoned herself with the dip!!

My theory is that Marlena is indeed Hattie, but she is NOT the killer. In the end, I believe John will indeed kill Marlena, only to find out she was really Hattie (and it will probably be accidental).

-Bret

ChrisSumnerMatheson

01-05-2004, 03:16 AM

I'll have to get the article, its supposed to be all true, not a theory.

01-27-2004, 09:58 PM

Yes, sadly the killer will be revealed tomorrow, but its kinda an anticlimax as I found out like two weeks ago, and have even seen clips from the episode, lol.

SPOILER

Marlena is the killer...just like I suspected all along. Its rumored to be her lookalike Hattie, and Marlena is kidnapped, or she's possessed again.

I know there is no way its just straight forward Marlena, because that would ruin the top star of the show's character.

Maybe if Deidra doesn't resign in August we'll see.

Big revalations in the story will be in May and Christmas Rielly said.

I'm not enjoying this story. Its obviously a gimick to cut costs by killing cast members.

There isn't even a motive really. Its just whoever is up on the block at the moment.

The Music Box Killer storyline on OLTL is brilliant, because it is an interesting, well structured story, and they aren't just killing people ever week for the sake of it. They are taking their time, and further developing the storyline.

John Clarke and Aniston are off of Days.

Clarke left for heath reasons and will be recast (Why I don't know), and Aniston will be killed, but not by the serial killer.

I'm really sad both are leaving, because both are my faves.

Cassie, Maggie, and Tony were also favorites of mine, and they are gone too. Shame!

Who are we going to watch for once everyone is dead or possessed? I sure can't stomach Bope or Shelle for an hour!

I don't think your giving James E. Riley enough credit. Check out this weeks TV Guide for an interview. I highly doubt Marlena is Hattie, or that Marlena is possessed again (because of the interview).

I think it's been an overall good storyline, as evident to the fact I haven't missed a single second of the show since September (and I know I'm not alone!).

I'm sad to see Victor go, he was one of my favorites too (as was Jack!!!).

ChrisSumnerMatheson

01-28-2004, 12:34 PM

Well if it was Hattie or Marlena was possessed by the devil as all the spoilers have said, do you really think he'd spoil it so soon and admit it?

All the spoilers have been right so far, so I find them very reliable. I mean I've know about Marlena from the start, its all very predictable.

I just don't like that all the interesting characters are going, and the boring ones are still there.

Cassie was the most interesting teen on the show, Maggie is great in whatever storyline she has. Abe and Lexie were dynamite. Roman and Kate were beautiful together. And I never saw much of Jack so I can't comment on him. Tony was also great.

I wanted to see more of the Tony/Lexie relationship. I think they are great together!

And Celeste! If she doesn't die, I hope to see her in a happy relationship with someone. All this tormenting she gets, I hope she ends up happy.

Who do you want Lexie, Jennifer, and Kate to be with now that their spouses are dead?

I hate to see them go as much as you, but Maggie, Caroline and Abe did nothing for years. Roman really shouldn't have ever come back in the first place, and the writers screwed up Tony (who really shouldn't have come back either).

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote">quote:<HR> Cassie was the most interesting teen on the show, <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

In my opinion, there are no interesting teens on DOOL! Cassie and Rex should leave, their storyline brought the whole show down since their "spacecraft" landed. Their storyline was (is?) perhaps DOOL's most far fetched plot (beating the possession and Greta/Austin's virtual eden).

Jack shouln't have been killed, and neither should Victor. Both could still provide tons of storylines.

Noticed a "new" actor playing Mickey Horton last week. Read in todays paper that John Clarke, 72, who has played the role for 38 years, has retired. He was recommended to do so for health reasons, which weren't revealed.

Did notice him rambling his lines some and not being able to understand him sometimes as of late.

Hope he does well in retirement !!!!!

Also, Bo, Peter Reckell, off trying to find Billie, hasn't been on in several episodes, the actor must be on a break, haven't read anything about it though.

Micky will be again replaced by the man that played Edward Quartermaine on General Hospital in a few weeks. The Mickey currently on screen was just a temp. replacement.

As far as Billie goes, Lisa Renna said she would come back for a small arc if need be now that James E Riley is back writing the show (he created Billie). Why they used some other persons voice for the "Billie" tape is beyond me...

Actually the current Mickey was supposed to be permenate until they found John Ingle had left GH, and serves him right. He was treated terribly at GH.

John said his first day was very emotional, and Suzanne Rogers was great.

Celeste had been rumored to be the next victim, but Stephanie Sloane of SOD said that thats not true.

Also Doug might be a victim, despite anything you've heard it seems very likely.

I hope Lisa returns. She's excellent. We need her!

The Julie/Bonnie stuff is great. I hope Julie is on contract soon.

Also...we'll be seeing more of Shelle! ^++++++++^ I will have to fast forward that, also Marlena won't kill Belle! http://www.soapchat.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif
