I apologize in advance if I'm not posting in the right place...
Long, long ago (I think I was still in grad school so several years ago) there was a storyline that I never saw resolved (probably because I was in grad school!). Hoping someone can fill me in or point me in the right direction for the answers...
Stefano died (and because this is Salem, OF COURSE he wasn't REALLY dead) and left a will. Most of our major players, certainly those w/ connections to Stefano, were invited to the reading of the will. Stefano had left things to each one that had some sort of "hidden meaning." Some of the items that I think I remember...Pop Shawn got a model of a fishing boat, there was an embroidered pillow (Marlena or Kate), a chess set or chess piece (possibly John). There were several others that I don't recall. It seems like some of this started to play out (I think this may have been when we figured out Kate's previous Stefano connection?), but either the storyline was dropped or I missed it.
Thoughts?

Oooooh. I missed this one too. Sounds interesting though. I'd love to hear what the outcome was.

Melly, you saw it all. That plot had a lot of potential but maybe there was a change in writing staff at the time or something else going on, because to my recollection, there was no follow up.

That was the summer of 2002, I believe, right when Tony (Andre) came back during that great, spooky Penthouse Grille return. It was also the summer that Marlena and John traveled to "the DiMera island" (whatever) and discovered that Daphne DiMera was John's biological mother... which she totally wasn't, but y'know.
Anyway, that was toward the beginning of Brash & Cwikly's head-writing tenure. That will-reading had SO much potential for awesomeness. People were speculating that Grandpa Shawn would turn out to be John's father, for example, and it seemed that Celeste and Caprice would be revealed to be sisters, among many other things. As it turned out, B&C were canned in the spring of 2003, so the story never went anywhere. Firing them was still one of the stupider moves Days has ever made, because Dena Higley's subsequent tenure was the pits, and then James E. Reilly came back, and we all know where he took the show...

Agreed w/ ^^^
The story had so much potential. I am still curious as to why Stefano gave Kate kippers...

What is a kipper? The only thing I have heard of referred to as a kipper is a fish. Please tell me he did not give her fish! LOL
