Nicole Walker's questionable behavior after Paternity Test Results

On Wednesdays episode of Days of Our Lives the results of Nicole's paternity test were in. Rafe Hernandez is the father of Nicole's baby.  We all know Nicole switched the labels on Rafe's and EJ's DNA samples. And it's no surprise that Daniel didn't switch them back.  But here's what I don't get:  What the hell is going on with Nicole and Dr. Dan?  Am I the only one who found the kiss between Nicole and Daniel to be completely out of left field and kindof creep-ish of Daniel to do? Daniel's no stranger to CreepsterVille (Remember Chelsea? and then the cheating on Chelsea with her grandma? Yeah, creepy!) but I was completely caught off guard when Nicole and Daniel started making out earlier this week.

After the paternity results were given yesterday EJ does the typical I-don't-believe-it speech and then heads out.  Loser Rafe, with his pathetic attempt to steal EJ's life and children for the millionth time, follows close behind. Nicole and Daniel are left alone in Daniel's office and Nicole immediately begins thanking him for not switching the DNA samples back to their original labels. Daniel made a speech about how he didn't make the decision lightly (The decision seems awfully judgy and self-righteous if you ask me!)

Nicole then proceeds to hug Daniel in a very provocative way and with a devious little grin on her face. What exactly was that about? Is she slutting herself out in typical Old School-Nicole fashion for favors from the men of Salem? It all seemed very peculiar.

Soap Opera Digest reports Casting for Eric Brady underway!

Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Days of Our Lives has starting casting for Eric Brady, Sami's twin brother.  It's been reported that the actors are testing with Arianne Zucker (Nicole).  Oh My God! I am so excited!  I'm a little bummed that Jensen Ackles won't be reprising the role cause man, he was nice to look at. <sigh> But I'm excited for Eric Brady to return for lots of reasons!

It won't hurt to have another guy in Salem in Sami's corner (although Eric does have that pesky history of siding with Carrie over Sami, but let's forget about that for now.  Carrie's leaving so to hell with good luck to her.) Also, I love that the test actors are working with Arianne.  Eric and Nicole were cute back in the day so hooray for Ernicole fans; but more importantly if Nicole is with Eric then Nicole is NOT with EJ and that makes me happier than I have been in months!  With Nicole out of the way, there's no stopping Ejami.  I can't wait!

I have long said that the Days of Our Lives cast is seriously lacking in the 20s and 30s age group.  That needs to change if Days have any hope of being given a new contract in 2013.  The addition of Eric Brady is a step in the right direction. I can't wait to see him in Salem.  Way to go, DOOL. 

Will Horton Arrested For Killing Stefano Dimera

It was no surprise that Stefano Dimera wound up dead on Monday's episode of Days of Our Lives. Stefano Dimera has been ruining lives in Salem for 30 years.  That's bound to create a few enemies.  The surprise comes when Will Horton is arrested for Stefano's shooting.  And it will be EJ Dimera who bails Will out of jail.

There's lots of suspects floating around town.  In fact, most everyone in Salem could probably come up with a reason to kill Stefano Dimera and be completely justified in doing so.  But it was the way Stefano was killed that pisses me off.  Stefano was shot in the back! In the back! While listening to music! Who does that? Whoever killed Stefano is quite the coward and deserves a lengthy prison sentence.

But back to Will.  Will isn't the killer.  If Will was that angry at Stefano for forcing him to tell Rafe about Sami and EJ's grief sex, he would have killed Stefano months ago.  Why would Will be this angry about it now? Is it because EJ knows that Will told and threatened to destroy Will?  If that is the logic Will is following, then I'm sure Will wouldn't kill EJ's father for goodness sakes! If EJ was angry at Will for losing Nicole, think how angry he'd be if Will was Stefano's killer!  It's stupid that Will is even a suspect.  Ok, so Will has a habit of shooting Dimeras in the back. Not a good sign. 

Let's hope the Salem PD clears Will of all charges soon.  The Salem PD doesn't have the greatest reputation for using intelligence or reason when solving crimes around town, but perhaps this time things will be different.
