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.

Days of Our Lives Molly Burnett Confirms Exit

It's a sad day for all Melanie Jonas fans and for Days of Our Lives in general. Molly Burnett (Melanie) has confirmed she will be leaving Days of Our Lives when her contract expires in June. Read the exclusive Digest interview here. "Going in, I knew it was a four-year contract and look, it's been the most amazing experience. I look at it as four years of the best training any actor could have ever been given," she told the magazine. 

**updated to include last airdate for Molly Burnett is September 27, 2012.

With Melanie leaving I feel the already weak 20-something crowd in Salem is even weaker which doesn't bode well for Days of Our Lives if they want to appeal to the highly coveted 18-49 age group. What do you think? Do you feel DOOL made a mistake by not resigning Molly Burnett or are you glad to see her go?
