Days of Our Lives
Monday, March 2, 2020

Be glad you don't live in Salem. Marlena is there to be with Ben as he is executed, as is Warden Floyd. Will arrives. Ben has been brought out, is being prepared. Marlena & Will both talk to him a bit, Ben really doesn't say anything. Meanwhile Ciara has been on the phone trying to talk to the warden, explaining about the new evidence, Ben not guilty, to no avail. Whoever it is hangs up on her, she rushes out to the prison, managing to arrive before any injection. She breathlessly tells all to the warden, who insists the jury found Ben guilty, so he won't stop it, only the governor can. Marlena calls Abe who knows the governor. Also, Ciara explained all about Christian Maddox being David's father, both missing. Will just saw Evan at Sonny's, he & Ciara take off for there.

Over at Sonny's, replay of him telling Evan about Will being not guilty and they are back together. Evan pulls his gun, Sonny bewildered. Oh, Evan just wanted to get his attention, and in fits and spurts, manages (with Sonny's questions) to tell about being David's father, Rafe firing him for using the fake name, claiming he only did so he could be with his son. He says he has been with both men & women, had told Sonny of bad relationship out west in the past, did not know Jordan was even pregnant, saw something on her Facebook page. He did realize she was not stable at some point.

Replay of Kayla flattering Rolf as she gets loose of her bonds, asking Rolf for water, he leaves, she gets up, only to have Stevano walk in, stop her. They argue, she is vehement that he will never get Marlena to love him. He insists he will, Justin will bring her.

Justin has run into John, told him about Stefano, how he wants 10 million which Justin has gotten, but also.....John knows, he wants Marlena. They talk over their options, John has a plan. They go to the Pub, where Hattie has been trying to see if perhaps Roman has developed some feelings for her. She is not happy over the interruption, but Justin & John are adamant, they tell Roman all, Hattie figures they will want her to pretend to be Marlena, they know a lot to ask, Roman objects, not fair to put her in this position, even is Hattie is game. This is not Steve, this is Stefano.

Kayla telling Stevano that Marlena will never love him, no matter what he does. Rolf suggests that perhaps he can make Marlena more receptive to Stefano's charms. He flatters him, but assures him she would still be Dr. Marlena Evans, just more willing to be with him. (sounds like drugging this time???)

Evan is frantic, tells Sonny he needs to get away with David, thought he, Sonny, David & Ari would have made nice family, right now needs to get some money from Sonny, so he can leave. He assures him David is safe. Ciara & Will burst in, Evan points his gun at them. They tell Sonny about Evan being David's father, yes, Sonny knows. But they go on about the DNA, & how it was Evan who killed Jordan. Evan is ready to shoot Sonny.

Steveano calls Justin, who assures him he has the money. Kayla is yelling to Justin not to cave. Hattie, pretending to be Marlena cuts in, (they are on speaker phone) telling Stevano not to hurt her friend, she is willing to make the trade.

At the prison, the governor calls the warden, seems Abe made quite the impassioned plea, but with no evidence, he won't stay the execution. Marlena is frantically going to call governor herself. Warden gives go ahead, Ben strapped down, IV inserted,. They raise the bed up so he can see Marlena & the warden. He is told what each of the 3 shots will do, one anesthetic so he won't feel anything, then a muscle relaxant that actually stops breathing, 3rd stops the heart.

Ben looks at Marlena, is so scared it appears, Marlena mouths “stay strong”.
 
Really sick of Hattie and it is ridiculous to ask her to risk her life to help. Also sick of Stefano. Thank goodness we haven't had to deal with Princess Gina for awhile. And way to go Kayla, giving Rolf the idea of implanting into Marlena.

I can't stand to watch Ben's execution. I really like the actor so I have always hated what they did to his character. So they need to stop this execution and clear his name. Make someone else the necktie killer. I actually really liked him and Abigail together.

Sonny was so stupid thinking Evan/Christian just meant he just felt like David's father. Geez, catch on Sonny!!
 
Interesting that Statesville seems to be just a block or so from the Kmansion. In fact I swear all the homes in Salem must be on a Cul deSac, since one can travel between them all so quickly. Same with the Pub, hospital, cop shop, they are all next door to each other. Boy, no wonder no one needs a car!
 
Thank you, Poirot.

Hattie has been much more likable for me this go round since she isn't so harsh and has compassion for others.

Hopefully we're nearing the end of Evan on the show.

As others have said previously, Ben's predicament isn't even half as dramatic as Lucas rushing in to save Sami from execution all those years ago.

At least no Princess Gina or Kristen/Brady today.
 
We don't know who Evan called. I'm guessing David is with whoever Evan called, a yet unnamed accomplice.
 
He only said David was safe. Will said he was not in the car. But he needs money from Sonny to get out of Dodge...So whoever he called.....cannot help him that way. Yet he trusts that person with David. There is more to Evan's background than we know so far.....me thinks. This is not a spoiler thread.
 
Really? They have been bringing people back to life, making characters be different characters.....they'd do it. Except that Jordan had been dead for a while before found, but then, we don't much see funerals, do we?
 
Oh I believe that they'd bring her back from the dead, but not to work with Evan, since she thought he was so terrible. Then again that may have all been a show too. Who knows anymore? At least Jordan has only been dead for about a year, Stefano and Gina had been dead for ages when they brought them back.

Good grief, I could only have this conversation in regards to a soap opera. :rolleyes:
 
Today's theme seemed to be dumb and dumber.

Steve-ano: He leads the league in stupidity. He may have memorized a definition of "love," but he hasn't a clue about what it really is.

Evan/Christian: Did he really think that Sonny would give him money so he could go on the run with Baby David? Who does he think he is, Leo Stark?

The Warden: This guy seemed totally clueless, but what can one expect from a man who runs a prison where the condemned prisoner's girl friend can easily invade the death chamber.

The Governor: Stupidity seems to start at the top these days. Why wouldn't he give Ben a stay when none other than Honest Abe Carver, the Mayor of Salem, tells him that there's solid evidence that another man killed Jordan Ridgeway? Doesn't he know that if Abe says something is so, you can bet the mortgage money on it?

Rolf: Doesn't he realize that by telling Kayla how Steve was transformed into "Steve-ano," he's set the stage for future events when the Stefano's-essence microchip is removed and the real Patch is restored.

The Writers: Couldn't they have provided poor Ben with a clergyman, such as Father Louis or a local minister, when he walked the last mile? Don't they know that this has been standard procedure if a condemned person wants spiritual solace in his last moments. (Texas has now banned clergy at executions because of Supreme Court ruling, but it seems to be the only state to have done so.)

Finally, Justin's failure to appear at the execution raises the question of how many of his hapless clients have been executed. Is it so many that around the courthouse he's known as Justin "Death House" Kiriakis?
 
Wonder what "Rolfy" has planned for Marlena? Would be funny if he tweaked her personality so that she thought she was her crazy twin sister, Samantha Evans. That's one woman who'd have given Stefano a run for his money.
 
Thanks, Poirot.

Today's closed captioning has Stefano instead of Steve as Stefano.

What's wrong with Stevano? He doesn't know it's Hattie on the phone.
Stefano had minions everywhere. Why isn't anyone watching Justin?

Roman kissed Hattie again. Is that the real reason Hattie volunteered
to be Marlena again? Then she noticed how concerned Roman was
about her.

Nice to see Marlena with Will.

What's going to happen tomorrow? Will Ben die? Will Evan shoot
everyone?
Where is David? And most important, where is the Rafe and the Salem PD?

Didn't stop them with Eeej, our Charmin-wrapped wonderboy.

Meanwhile, a rundown on the status of the show:
Evan is a bad guy because he killed* one crazy woman; Ben is a romantic lead despite killing 3 women.

Also: Marlena is nicer to her grandson's killer than she was to the man who temporarily inconvenienced Will & Sonny's romance.

*or at least was at the scene
