The Melaswen Paradox (Read 319,696 times)

[tghca]

Danielle Katherine Maggie Kiriakis is such a unique name for Philip and Melanie's daughter...naming her after Daniel, Maggie and Kate is actually very cute.

They can just call her Danielle. But I wonder how long before Danielle gets to go home from the hospital?

Do Philip and Melanie have a nursery set up? I wonder who will be Danielle's godparents?

I didn't know Benjy also had a daughter with his wife Sonia. I mean I know of Hawk but I didn't know Benjy also had a daughter before he died.

I wonder who EJ is talking to?

I wonder if Hawk will end up falling in love with Stephanie? A Chem test will probably happen

If Hawk has a sister Benjy's daughter then she too is also a DiMera and if she just graduated from high school and is going to college, she is in the same age group as Allie, Johnny, Ricky, Manny, Meadow, etc.

[heroicmuse]

Oh EJ, what are you up to?

What a beautiful set of names for Philip and Melanie's baby. I'm glad she is improving and will be coming home soon, and that Philip was okay with naming the baby after Daniel.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[Kpatch]

Danielle is a lovely name. They can call her Dani for short if they want.

I don't like it that Steve is still in a coma. Come back to us, Steve!

[mae00]

I'm so glad that Melanie and Philip got to see their baby girl and name her.

Who is EJ texting and what are they up to now?

Friday - 7/9

BRADY PUB
KADY: Cheers for letting me help out here.
MAX: No worries. Chelsea and I are always glad to have another set of hands to help around here. Plus, it sounds like you’ve got some experience.
KADY: Just a wee bit. My da and granda let me help out at their Pub back home sometimes.
MAX: Very cool.
Max handed her an apron.
MAX: Here you go.
KADY: Thanks.
Claire walked in.
CLAIRE: Morning, everyone.
KADY: Hiya.
MAX: Hey Claire. Kady here has agreed to give us a hand while she’s in town. Would you mind showing her around?
CLAIRE: Yeah, no problem. Just let me get changed real quick, and I’ll be right with you.
KADY: Awesome!
Claire went into the back. She came out a moment later in her uniform, with her hair up in a ponytail.
CLAIRE: Come on, I’ll give you the tour.
KADY: Sounds good!

BLACK PATCH
John, Billie and Jett met up. John looked at his phone.
JOHN: He’s here.
A moment later, Hawk walked in.
JOHN: Billie, Jett, I’d like to introduce you to Agent Steven Hawk. Agent Hawk was previously stationed in Chicago, and was thankfully on hand to step in while Steve’s out.
HAWK: It’s my pleasure. Steve’s always been good to my family, and I’m glad to be able to help out.
BILLIE: Well, we’re glad to have you. Did John brief you on the situation?
HAWK: Yes, he and Assistant Director von Dyne told me everything.
Jett nodded.
JOHN: So, now that you’re here, let’s work on the next stage of this plan.

DIMERA MANSION
André walked in from the tunnels.
ANDRE: Any word from our Videographer, as the good people of Salem have taken to calling him?
E.J.: Not as yet. I texted him a short time ago, though, so I shouldn’t worry. I’m sure he’ll get back to us when he can.
ANDRE: I wish I shared your optimism.
E.J. blinked furiously.
E.J.: Come now, it was your idea to involve him in this in the first place, which I agreed with, by the way.
ANDRE: He is Stefano’s heir. When the time comes, he shall inherit the DiMera Empire. However, he is not ready yet, and it is our job to ensure that he is.
E.J.: Which we will. But there is the difficulty of his mother.
ANDRE: Yes. She’s been a thorn in our side for years. One which you’ve claimed before that you can handle.
E.J.: I can.
ANDRE: Yet you haven’t.
E.J.: I said that I’ll do it, and I will. These things take time, surely you know this.
ANDRE: You think you know better than I?
E.J. stood up and tried to look André directly in the eye, but faltered.
E.J.: Of course not. Everyone knows that you’re in charge here.
ANDRE: Good. Now, perhaps our friend needs a little persuasion.
André pulled out his phone and dialed a number. He rubbed his chin as the phone rang several times. His face darkened.
ANDRE: We need to talk. It is time for your next assignment. I expect to hear from you shortly.
He hung up.

WEST HOUSE
Johnny had gone to Meadow West’s house. The two sat on her bed, watching a movie. Johnny’s phone rang. He looked at it, then set it down.
WEST: Who was that?
JOHNNY: Nothing important. I’ll call them back later.

[heroicmuse]

I knew it! I'm glad Hawk is working with the ISA.

I'm not sure Kady will be a good fit for the Pub but we'll see.

Okay, now I want to know what EJ is up to. I wonder if he is grooming Johnny for this, considering Johnny"s reaction to that phone call.

Great chapter André DiMera. Will there be previews?

[tghca]

Johnny is the videographer...well he is in on this with his father EJ and his Uncle Andre...so Johnny is a part of the cabal? I mean he is just a kid...a teenager but I mean if Johnny is found out, he could be arrested. Johnny could be charged as an adult since he's turning 18.

Johnny is already lying to Meadow.

Kady is going to be working at the Brady Pub. It makes sense because she stays there now.

Hawk working with the ISA is good but isn't Hawk a DiMera? So wouldn't that make him a wild card alone because of who he's related to?

[Kpatch]

Andre and EJ are jockeying for position. Now I know who the mother is they were speaking of. Sami. She will not be pleased to learn that EJ is dragging Johnny into the Dimera world.

[mae00]

Claire and Kady working together? Something just doesn't feel right about this.

So Johnny is blowing EJ and Andre off. I'm hoping this is truly a turning point for him in being "a true Dimera"

[André DiMera]

Thanks for reading and commenting, everyone!

Next week…

Melanie and Philip get news about their newborn baby.
MELANIE: Thank goodness!

And they introduce Danielle to some of their family.
PHILIP: Ready to meet your granddaughter?

Meanwhile the ISA set the next part of their plan into motion.
HAWK: The Hawk has landed.

But they’re not the only ones whose plan is proceeding.
VIVIAN: They’ll be at each other’s throats in no time.

All this and more next week on THE MELASWEN PARADOX!

[heroicmuse]

It sounds like the news about little Danielle is good! I hope mother and daughter can come home from the hospital soon.

I wonder who will be the first to meet the baby. Philip is going to have to deal with both Kate and Victor as grandparents. That could be interesting.

I wonder what the ISA's plan is and how Hawk is involved.

Meanwhile, I wonder what Vivian's next move is. This should be good!

Thanks for the previews André DiMera.

[Kpatch]

Looking forward to seeing Vivian. She's one Salemite who really knows how to scheme!

Wonder if Danielle will melt Victor's stony face.

Thanks for the previews.

Monday - 7/12

WEST HOUSE
West turned on the light on her bedside table.
WEST: Okay, that movie was epic!
JOHNNY: I know, right?
WEST: Totally! I’m so glad you showed it to me!
JOHNNY: Well, you showed me one of your favorite movies this afternoon, so I thought it only made sense to show you one of mine.
WEST: I’m glad you did. So, you said there’s two sequels to it?
JOHNNY: Technically. One’s a sequel, and one’s a director’s cut of the first. There’s, like, five different versions of the first movie, but the theatrical version and the Final Cut are my favorites.
WEST: Well, then we’ll have to have another movie date where you show me at least the Final Cut, if not that and the sequel.
West sat back down on her bed.
JOHNNY: Sounds good to me.
Johnny and West kissed. Johnny’s phone buzzed.
JOHNNY: That’s my ride.
WEST: I wish you could stay.
JOHNNY: Me too. See you tomorrow?
WEST: You bet.
They kissed again, then both got up. West walked Johnny downstairs and to the front door.
WEST: Have a good night.
JOHNNY: You too. Tell your mom thanks again for having me for dinner. The spaghetti was great!
West chuckled.
WEST: I’ll let her know.
JOHNNY: Night.
WEST: Night.
Johnny walked out to the car, and after getting in, dialed a number on his phone.
JOHNNY: Yes?

SIDE-BY-SIDE: CAR/DIMERA MANSION
ANDRE: Oh good, you picked up your phone at long last. I was beginning to wonder if perhaps you’d lost it.
JOHNNY: Sorry, I was in the middle of a date. So, where’s the fire?
ANDRE: I wouldn’t be so flippant if I were you. You may well be my favourite nephew, but nobody is indispensable.
JOHNNY: Sorry. Your text said that I have a new assignment?
ANDRE: Indeed. The latest tape is being delivered in the morning, meaning it’s time to film another.
JOHNNY: Great. Who do I get to dress up as this time?

BRADY PUB
Claire and Kady were in the back room, hanging up their aprons.
KADY: Thanks again for showing me the ropes today. This place is so cracker! Almost reminds me of when my da and granda would let me help out at our Pub back home.
CLAIRE: No problem. You did good out there today. Though I’m sure this must have made you miss being out there.
Kady shrugged.
KADY: Meh. A wee bit, maybe, but I’m grand, thanks.
CLAIRE: That’s good.
Claire exhaled.
KADY: You okay, there?
CLAIRE: Yeah, I just have something I want to talk to you about.
KADY: Oh. Well, go on, then. What’s up?
CLAIRE: So, we love having you here. It’s been great to get to know you better. And, of course, you’re welcome to stay as long as you want.
KADY: Cheers! I love it here! Thanks so much, Claire! Is that it, then?
CLAIRE: Not quite. There’s something more. It’s just...I keep in touch with Aisling a lot, and the other day, she mentioned that your parents were wondering where you were.
KADY: Were they, aye?
CLAIRE: Yeah. Which didn’t really sound right to me. I mean, I know you’re about the same age as me, so of course you can do whatever you want. But, I remember you telling me and Chase when you showed up at our apartment a few weeks ago that your grandpa Colm sent you on this trip.
KADY: So he did, yeah.
CLAIRE: Right. Wouldn’t your parents know about that, though, seeing as you all live together above your grandpa’s Pub?
KADY: Well, I’d think they would, sure.
CLAIRE: Right. I’m just trying to figure out why they would be looking for you if they know you’re here.
KADY: What’re you accusing us of?
CLAIRE: I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m just trying to figure out what’s going on here. Kady, if something happened, I want to try to help. Did something happen back in Galway?

[Kpatch]

So it's been Johnny all along. He's leading a double life. Love it!

[heroicmuse]

Kady is awfully defensive. I want to know the real story too.

So Johnny is the videographer. This is not good.

Great chapter André DiMera
