Days of Our Lives
Wednesday, February 19, 2020

Slow moving today, as Lani & Eli are kissing, only he pulls away, cannot do this, be kissing her. Yes he loves her, but he also hates her for not telling him what was up. He is grateful she did what she did to save his grandmother, but he is really upset she did not tell him what was going on, especially when she came back. Lani tries explaining again, proclaims her eternal love, is willing to wait for him to sort things out, if he still wants her, she will be waiting. He just needs to be alone now, and walks away.

Gabi is still upset, figures Rafe must hate her, no he doesn't. She does a bit more of whining, knows she is in big trouble. Rafe leaves, will be back, gives her the phone for her one phone call. She calls Sonny, asking him to come see her, she knows this will be all over the news, she wants Ari to know ahead of time, she has to figure out what to tell her.

Marlena gets a delivery of flowers, thinks it sweet of John, but he did not send them, ahhh, card from Stefano. She is upset, angry they are dealing with this again. John is more positive, we will handle it, won't be a problem. They get all cuddly & cozy.

Justin sees Kate sitting, wonders what she has been up to now, she wants bail posted. He leaves, Kate gets escorted to the interrogation room, there sits Gabi. She asks what she did now, on her wedding day, Gabi (off screen) fills her in. Kate is incredulous, an exploding pacemaker? She wonders how Gabi even came up with it, Gabi claims it was Kate, when she came to comfort Gabi after Stefan died. Kate insists she advised her to go after the CEO position, talk to Shin. Yes, but Gabi went thru files first, different projects, & saw the one from Visionary Bionics. Not only the bionic eye, but the pacemaker. Kate seems floored, but Gabi does her revenge thing, making all hurt as she had been hurt, blah, blah, blah. Kate says her revenge was not needed after a year, but Gabi felt Lani would tell Eli if she did not retain the hold she had, insisting she did it all for love, was afraid of losing all she had, and now she has.

Justin runs into Rafe there, is worried about not hearing from Kayla, despite tons of messages. Was last seen in her office, no longer there. Rafe figures the security footage might be of help, orders it, he & Justin watch it. They see Kayla leaving with someone in scrubs. Does look like it might be Steve.

Hattie sees a help wanted sign in the Pub window, rushes in, begging Roman not to fire her. Oh, she is not fired, it is Kate. Roman definitely not liking that Kate knew about Gina, Stefano for months and said nothing. Hattie defends her, how guilty Kate felt, told all finally, Marlena went to Prague to get Gina, and help Steve. They have a nice conversation, Hattie talking of how “hot” Stefano was in Steve's body, talked romantic, but no, she did not succumb to his sweet words. She admits she had someone else on her mind, (is a mite awkward here) knows how she may appear to others, but only one kind of man appeals to her. She mentions Roman being so good looking, etc. & that sort is what she appreciates, but knows Roman doesn't have any interest in her. He laughs, never said that, Hattie stops abruptly, then smiles as she dons her apron, while Roman goes behind the bar.

Kayla wants out of wherever she & Steveano are, he insists they have to stay, til it is safe. She is becoming annoyed at his cavalier attitude, brings up his woman he supposedly loves, thinks she doesn't exist. Oh, yes she does, says he, I sent her a gift for Valentine's Day, wish I could take her to dinner, some champagne, spend the night showing her how much I love her. Kayla is infuriated, do you remember this was our wedding day. Steveano says we are divorced, they go round and round a bit with how he has treated her, he finally agrees to tell her who the woman is......Marlena. Kayla cannot believe this, but he babbles about his “queen”, she says he sounds like Stefano. Well, that is because I am. He talks of his essence in Steve's body, she thinks it untrue, he rips off the patch, Rolf did a good job, fixed the eye for me. He says Steve was on his way home to Kayla when his men captured him. Kayla is beside herself, figures Steve still has to be there, addresses Steve directly, pleading with him to come back to her. Steveano laughs, good job, Kayla. But your Steve Johnson is dead. Kayla wants to leave, he grabs her arm. I am a wanted man, you are a good bargaining chip.
 
I can totally understand Eli being upset with Lani. They were both police officers and could have totally taken down Gabi. I think he will forgive her since she was so worried about Julie and Gabi did demonstrate what she could do.

Please let this Stefano nonsense end!

Why did they put Kate in the same room with Gabi? I'm sure they have more than one room to hold people under arrest.
 
Like KathyLu said.......Only in Salem! (and yes, it is still Valentine's Day in Salem...and probably will still be tomorrow, as well, lol)
The funny thing is, when Kate walks in the room to see Gabi, she is rubbing her wrist, which I assumed is because she was handcuffed to her chair. So now she isn't, but I think Gabi is....or at least she WAS. But both in same room, chattering away, waiting to hear from their lawyers, whoever they are.
 
When Stevano and Kayla were back in her office and Justin came in and wanted her to leave and go home with him, I think she told him she was working on a case and couldn't leave, and that she would probably be overnight on it. Or maybe she just meant the whole evening. I don't know for sure.

Funny how many people there have been in Salem who don't seem to have a moral compass, like Gabi and Sami and others. They are so completely self-centered, they can only relate to things being right or wrong, in how it affects themselves.

Thanks for the summary.
 
The worst part today was Eli telling Lani he knew she was doing what she needed to do. Instead he should have told her she's the worst cop on the planet, which is saying something in Salem. The unintended consequence of this bad story is I hope Lani and Eli just leave. I don't care if it's together or apart or if I ever know which.

Curious to find out how Kate slithers out of her predicament. Maybe there are no cops or lawyers or judges left in Salem and it will be an amnesty week for all the criminals.
 
Well, filming for 2 or 3 days helps, plus the hairdresser who is constantly on set, along with makeup. Got to powder, & refresh. LOL
Yes, I know the real reason, but was joking about how the character still looked fresh-as-a-daisy while sitting in the police interrogation room, hours after getting her hair done in the morning. The least they could've done was had her curls starting to wilt or her hair even a little messy.
When Stevano and Kayla were back in her office and Justin came in and wanted her to leave and go home with him, I think she told him she was working on a case and couldn't leave, and that she would probably be overnight on it. Or maybe she just meant the whole evening. I don't know for sure.
You are remembering correctly. The evening before Valentine's Day, Kayla told Justin she had some big report to finish and was going to work late, maybe even all night.
 
If Gabi's wedding hair stylist was anything like mine, she probably had a tub of mousse and a gallon of hair spray in her hair. I also had about 90 bobby pins in my updo. It was a nightmare to take out, but the back & top didn't move all day. My bangs were good too, until I started dancing, then well after 9 hours and being a dancing queen my bangs gave out. :rotfl:
 
Here's what Gabi's hair should've looked like after a day like hers so far. :rotfl:

Please make them go all away.

Steve-ano: He's a blight on the viewers' screens. Everything that he says and does is terminally dumb and totally un-Phoenixlike. Today, he toasted himself with a glass of wine. Was he kidding?

Lani: Her sales pitch to poor, befuddled Eli was hardly convincing. No matter how loudly she proclaims her love for him, the real elephant in the room is that when Gabi initially made threats against Julie, she didn't trust Eli enough to confide In him. Instead of working with Eli to save Salem's leading busybody, she cravenly rolled over and went along with all of Gabi's outrageous demands. That's more than a little much for him to swallow.

Gabi: This one is unfit to play the role of a big-time Salem plotter. Not only did she fess up to everything at the wedding debacle, she still hasn't gotten her act together. Instead of calling Sonny, she should have been on the line to some high-priced DiMera mouthpiece laying the grounds for some kind of insanity defense. (For starters, she could claim that seeing her beloved Stefano gunned down by Lani caused her to lose her sanity. And everything that happened after that, including pressure to give Zero's heart to the hated Julie, just made things worse.)

On the plus side, long-suffering Hattie actually got a peck on the cheek and it looks as if kissless Roman could finally score in the romance department. The pigs could be flying around the City Hall tower soon.

Thanks, Poirot.

Question: do Marlena and John know Steve is Stevano? It seems some
people in Salem know about Steve and others don't.

Question: where was Kayla? Stevano was talking on the phone to Rolf and he
hung up fast because Kayla came through the door. Where was
she and why
didn't she just leave?


Sad to hear from Stevano they got Steve on his way home to Kayla.

Interesting to see Roman kiss Hattie.

Just a thought - if Gabi had been smart (or the writers had some imagination), she should have deleted the app before the wedding. She didn't need the leverage anymore, she was about to marry Eli. And then, if Lani decided to spill the beans, there would have been no proof of the app or anything else. And Gabi would not be in the mess she is in. She most likely would have married Eli, and everyone would have thought Lani was delusional. Such an easy solution for Gabi, which could have a much more interesting, and long term story to write. Now, we have to wait 2-3 weeks for Eli to forgive Lani, (like Eric & Brady) before the big reunion. YAWN!
 
Kate is totally going to skate. Hattie and others will talk about how she helped, and everyone will forget she's only putting out a fire she helped start. The Salem Justice Machine only works efficiently against the wrongly accused.

I'm glad Roman is sidling up to Hattie. He needs a girlfriend. Sure, it's weird that she looks just like his ex-wife, but that's pretty low on the weirdness scale for Salem these days. I guess this is another cost-saving measure. Everyone still on contract will play at least two characters.
