I think Allie finds another dead body well her and Manny both do

Sydney and Silver's friendship how long before it complicates itself again? I see a boy getting in between them

Shawn is going to have to let his wife Belle and his daughter Claire know but also John, Victor, Philip, Melanie, Nicole, Daniel, etc are all going to have to know

I see Theresa accusing Kyle Lowder's Brady of murder...but does Brady the real Brady have an alibi for the time of the murder? Either way the Salem PD are on this case but I can see Brady being arrested for Carter's murder

[heroicmuse]

I am so curious as to what Allie finds. Whatever it is, it sounds like it's alive since she heard rustling. It would make sense if she found an injured or stray animal since she works at the wildlife refuge.

I hope Silver is able to keep it at the friendship level and not try to push for more.

This is tragic. I was hoping Brady I would just be in a coma. I'm sure Theresa will be out for revenge. I'm sure she will blame Brady II.

Thanks for the previews André DiMera!

[Kpatch]

I am sick over Brady's murder. Maybe it's someone else with a Brady mask, and someone like Kristen took the real Brady (BradyI).

SALEM UNIVERSITY
Crawling out of the bushes, very slowly, was a small, grey tabby cat. Allie crouched down.
ALLIE: Hey. Hi, little buddy. What are you doing out here by yourself?
The cat stepped forward. Allie put her free hand out toward the cat, who backed away.
ALLIE: It’s okay. I’m not gonna hurt you. Who would ever hurt a pretty little thing like you?
The cat made another small noise and let Allie move her hand closer to it. It rubbed its face up against her hand.
ALLIE: See? It’s okay. You’re so little. You’re probably still a kitten, huh? Is your mama nearby?
The kitten made another small noise. Allie slowly got up. The cat looked up at her.
ALLIE: You stay there. If your mama is nearby, I don’t want her to feel threatened.
Allie started walking again, keeping her flashlight on and looking around for any sign of the kitten’s mother or siblings. There was a wooded area near the back of the main building. As she headed in that direction, Allie saw something on the ground. When she shone a light on it, she knew that the kitten’s mother had been nearby, but sadly, wouldn’t be looking for its kitten. Some other animal had made sure of that. Allie put a hand over her mouth and tried to keep her breathing steady. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After regaining composure, she took a few tissues out of her pocket and laid them over the mother cat’s remains. Then, Allie wiped her face and went back to the side of the building. The kitten was still there by the bush and meowed at her when she came back. Allie crouched down again.
ALLIE: I’m so sorry, sweetie. You’re gonna be okay, though. First, I gotta get you checked out.

BEACH
Roman and Shawn-D watched as the EMTs put the body in the ambulance.
SHAWN-D: We’re gonna need to make some calls. The most important ones are to John and Theresa.
ROMAN: I’ll make the call, you get that young couple who found the body down to the station, see if they’ve remembered anything else about what they saw.
SHAWN-D: Thanks.
He sighed.
SHAWN-D: How am I gonna tell Belle? She’s already on edge because of that guy showing up claiming to be Brady. I’m gonna have to tell her when I get home later, but still.
Roman put a hand on Shawn-D’s shoulder.
ROMAN: Hey, you’ve got this. It’s gonna be hard, but I know you’ll be there for her.
SHAWN-D: Of course. Well, I’d better get those two down to the station. Thanks for coming so quickly, Uncle Roman.
Roman nodded.
ROMAN: I’ll meet the EMTs at the hospital and make those calls along the way.
SHAWN-D: Sounds good.
Shawn-D went back for the couple, while Roman headed back to his squad car. He dialed a number.

PENTHOUSE
John and Marlena were sitting on the couch watching the end of a movie. When the credits rolled, John turned the TV off.
MARLENA: That was nice.
JOHN: It was. Glad we got to have a movie night.
MARLENA: As am I.
Marlena yawned.
MARLENA: But on that note, I think we should turn in.
JOHN: Right behind you.
They got off the couch just as John’s phone started ringing.
MARLENA: Who would that be at this time of night?
John looked at his phone.
JOHN: It’s Roman.
MARLENA: It must be important.
John nodded and answered.
JOHN: Roman? What’s going on? You’re what? Why, what...my god. When? I’ll meet you there.
John hung up.
MARLENA: John, what’s going on?
JOHN: I’ve gotta get to the hospital. Something’s happened to Brady.

[tghca]

John is bound to find out what happened to Carter but I wonder how Theresa is going to react? She has a child, her son, Tate with Carter and Tate is going to have to grow up without a father now

Knowing Theresa, she will outright accuse the real Brady (Kyle Lowder's Brady) of murder...but does Brady II have an alibi for the time of the murder? Knowing The Committee like we do...they will probably set Brady II up for murder by framing him for Carter's murder making sure nothing gets traced back to them even though the real Brady will be innocent

Shawn is going to have to tell not only Belle but Claire too

Love that Roman is still on the Force with the Salem PD and that he's on this case as well

I can only imagine how Eric and Sami will react to Carter's death

Or how Victor will react or Philip or even Melanie or Chloe

Allie is such a compassionate soul when it comes to animals

[Kpatch]

I guess Roman didn't want to tell John the news over the phone. BradyI's death is going to affect so many people.

I doubt pets are allowed in the dorms but that won't stop Allie from bringing her home.

[heroicmuse]

I knew it! Allie was the best person to find that kitten. She will know how to foster it.

I'm dreading the news that John is about to hear. This is gonna be so hard for him, and we still have no idea what happened to why Brady was switched with this guy.

Great chapter André DiMera

[mae00]

Awww. I'm so glad Allie showed up when she did and found that kitten.

I refuse to believe that Brady is dead until time of death is officially called. And even then I'm not sure I will believe it. People come back from the dead all the time in Salem.

[Trey]

I agree...and it's an Andre DiMera story, so the possibilities are endless!

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
John and Marlena poured each other cups of tea. When they got to the hospital, they were met by Roman, who explained what Shawn-D had found at the beach, and were informed that Scotty was working to see if anything could be done.
MARLENA: All of the craziness with Brady and the other Brady, now this.
John nodded.
JOHN: And we’re still working on finding out all of the answers. What happened to Brady, what DiMera did to Carter to make him think he was Brady?
MARLENA: You’re that sure it was André?
JOHN: Well, I can’t prove it yet, but he’s the only one we know of with a doctor crazy enough to do something like this. Plus, he and I have a longstanding feud, and we know he’s not above using members of our family to get to us.
MARLENA: That is true.
Scotty walked into the waiting room. John and Marlena turned to him.
JOHN: Scotty?
SCOTTY: John, Marlena, I am so sorry. We tried to resuscitate him, but he’s gone. It’s likely he was gone before he arrived.
John inhaled sharply. Marlena put an arm around him.
THERESA: What?!
They turned as Theresa walked over. It was clear that she had heard what Scotty had said.
SCOTTY: Theresa-
THERESA: You’re wrong! You have to be! There’s gotta be some mistake, Brady cannot be dead!
SCOTTY: I’m very sorry.
Theresa let out a sob.
THERESA: No!
Marlena put a hand on Theresa’s shoulder.
MARLENA: Theresa, if you’d like to talk about this-
THERESA: I don’t wanna talk to you! You’re on his side! You believe him and that freak who says he’s the real Brady!
MARLENA: In all honesty, I don’t know what the real answer is. But no matter what it is, something very tragic has just happened, and we have all lost somebody that we care about.
JOHN (hoarsely): Can we see him?
Scotty nodded.
THERESA: I should be the one to see him! I’m the only one who gives a damn about him anymore! The rest of you all gave up on him!
John cleared his throat.
JOHN: That is not true. I told him that I wanted to continue our father/son relationship, regardless of his D.N.A., if that’s what he wanted. He disappeared before I got the chance to prove how serious I was.
THERESA: He didn’t disappear! He was murdered!
SCOTTY: We’re still waiting for the coroner’s full report, but so far, there’s no evidence of foul play.
THERESA: You’ll forgive me if I don’t trust the lab at this place. Now, are you gonna let me see him, or do I have to find my own way back there? Actually, it’s only been a few years since I worked here, so I probably know the way.
SCOTTY: I’ll take you. Both of you.
Theresa glared at John and crossed her arms. John turned to Marlena.
MARLENA: Go. I’ll be right here when you get back.
JOHN: Belle will have to-
MARLENA: Shawn’s taking care of it.
JOHN: Victor and the others will have to be informed, as well.
MARLENA: I’ll take care of it. You should go.
John nodded. He and Marlena hugged, then he and Theresa followed Scotty.
THERESA (under her breath): I don’t care what some coroner says. Brady was murdered, and I know exactly who did it!

DIMERA MANSION
As the door opened, André turned to see Vivian walk into the lab.
VIVIAN: Good evening, my dear husband.
ANDRE: Vivian. To what do I owe this pleasure?
VIVIAN: It’s a quiet night at the Mansion. Nicky is working late and Beatrix is back in school, so I thought I’d stop in and see how the plans were unfolding.
André chuckled darkly.
ANDRE: They’re going well, if I do say so myself.
VIVIAN: Wonderful!
ANDRE: Something tells me that this is more than just a social call.
VIVIAN: You’re always so suspicious!
ANDRE: With good reason, I think. No need to beat about the bush, wife of mine, what are you really doing here?
VIVIAN: Oh, very well, then. There is something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a while now. I’m growing a bit concerned about Elvis.
ANDRE: Is that so?
VIVIAN: Indeed. He isn’t aware of this, but I overheard him saying something the other day that...well, honestly, it has me wondering if he’s as committed to this plan as you and your dear cousin Luna are.

[heroicmuse]

Ooh Vivian is such a master manipulator. But will Andre fall for it? He's the only one who has any chance against her.

Theresa reacted about how I expected she would.

This is hard for everyone.

I still wonder if Brady I committed suicide.

Great chapter André DiMera.

[tghca]

Theresa reacted like I knew she would...she will outright accuse Brady of murdering Carter but does Brady even have an alibi for the time of the murder

Theresa is grieving but then again so is everyone else who loved Carter as Brady

But I bet Carter will turn out to be alive at some point...someone will whisk his body away and out of the morgue and he will be revived by someone but by who? Rolf or Vincent Belman...who will get to him first?

Vivian is playing Andre like a fiddle

[Kpatch]

I feel bad for John and Theresa.

[mae00]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I know this sounds bad, but I'm holding out that this is Brady II and not Brady I.

I know that John doesn't know this but Andre isn't the only one with a crazy doctor. Vivian has one.......and I wonder if she's somehow behind this Brady debacle. **GASP** Oh my goodness! She could have had Brady I murdered out of revenge for the sarcophagus!
