Now appearing in Wichita, Kansas
38 minutes.

Kayla and Bonnie have coffee at the pub. They chat about Vivian and her warrant.

Justin comes into the Kiriakis home, he asks if he can move back into the house. Maggie is more that willing to have them move back in. She breaks the news that Alex kicked her to the curb at the company.

Stephanie comes in to the Titan office and tells Vivian she’s heard about Vivian’s plans for Titan Stephanie doesn’t agree with them so Stephanie quits. But of course, it’s Alex sitting in the chair.

Kate shows up at Chad and Stephanie's, she returns flowers to Chad because Victoria isn’t her grandchild. Who returns flowers???

Marlena is on the phone with John. She asks about Brady has he heard from him? Because they were in LA, so far away. Unlike Eric who was in South Africa and she never gave him a second thought.

John and Theresa return. For some reason Theresa (now played by Emily O'Brien who played Gwen) needed two suitcases and is unable to roll them both for some stupid reason. Fired guy really did a number because the leopard print dress and wig are horrific.

Kayla, Bonnie talk Victor’s will and then the new of Alex’s paternity.

Stephanie and Alex chat, Alex explains about Victor being his daddy.

Maggie and Justin talk Alex firing Maggie. They discuss how Alex threatened a board vote. You know the thing that happens bi-weekly at DiMera.

LA is a 3.5-hour flight from Salem. Theresa is witchy towards, Brady. Tate appears.

Kate and Chad discuss all about how horrible Sarah is and how Rex is in danger.

Bonnie and Kayla discuss Alex’s paternity. Kayla is concerned about Justin.

Maggie and Justin discuss Alex’s paternity. Justin is lost feels adrift. They have questions that will never be answered.

Stephanie and Alex continue to discuss Alex’s family tree. He continues to stumble over calling Victor, Uncle Vic. Alex is feeling lost. His daddy lied to him his entire life.

Tate and Brady discuss trying to get the flight attendant’s number, what does anyone do for excitement in Salem? Tate was kicked out of boarding school for pulling a fire alarm during an exam. In case anyone cares. The alarms set off the sprinklers and did lots of damage. 50K in damage. Tate is going to have to pay the back the 50K. He’s going to have to get a job. Perhaps these writers should also try getting a job.

Chad and Kate discuss the Rex and Sarah situation and the Kayla and Steve situation. The marriage idea that came up. Chad dances around the idea. Kate pokes and prods.

More pathetic Alex and his change in life. He isn’t going to move back into the house. Because his Dad, no wait his cousin, moved back into the house and it would be awkward. If he moves back home, he won’t be able to use her shower.

Justin asks about Alex moving back in to the mansion. Maggie tells Justin that Victor did love him.

Bonnie and Kayla continue chatting about the change in both Alex and Justin.

Tate, Brady and Theresa walk into the pub. Not a joke

Justin and Maggie talk about Mickey and Michael. Laura became pregnant and EVERYONE knew that Bill was the father because of an affair. (Which is NOT how I remember this happening. Bill had a crush on Laura, who loved Mickey. Bill raped Laura, who didn’t tell anyone, she was pregnant everyone thought it was Mickey’s till much later on.) Anyway, the point of the story is to Mickey and Mike, when it all came out it didn’t matter, biology didn’t matter. Mickey and Mike were father and son. But Mike was a nice young man, Alex is a jerk. Maggie tells Justin to trust her it will all work out.

Kayla is so happy to see Tate. Bonnie tries to figure out her relationship to Tate, but gives up. They banter about Tate getting kicked out of the school, Brady wants Tate to start working at the Pub. Theresa stares at Brady and Tate during this conversation. Brady wants to talk to Bonnie about the briefcase. Brady is unaware of the Will. Bonnie explains the will, the son no one knew he had.

Alex gets a call from someone asking questions. The Spectator?

Chad and Kate discuss what Chad wants. People might think that Kate is Chad’s mom. Abby’s been gone 16 months and he’s not sure he is ready to be living with someone for the rest of his life. Stephanie bursts into the room. Kate leaves, telling Stephanie to enjoy the flowers. Stephanie asks about the flowers, Chad says they were for Kate, but now they are yours. Lesson of the day never turn down second hand flowers.

Maggie and Justin continue their discuss of Mickey and Mike.

Brady can’t wrap his mind around Alex being Victor’s son. Brady is very confused. Kayla mentions the letter and Theresa asks about the letter. What kind of letter? Flashback of Theresa opening the briefcase this time it’s Theresa (as Emily O'Brien) opening the briefcase. Tate thinks that there is too much going on now in the family to worry about him getting a job. He thinks maybe Aunt Maggie will pay for the damage to the school. Theresa needs to leave. They don’t know where Tate will stay. Tate assumes he will get to eat at the pub for free as often as he wants. They discuss Rachel. Tate goes to do a walk around, and leaves BEFORE seeing Uncle Roman.

Bonnie has similar problems with her bags, they discuss Alex firing Maggie.

Alex in his office drinking coffee as Theresa appears. Alex asks about Tate. Theresa pets her wig. They discuss the will and the briefcase. Theresa comes on strong to Alex.

Chad and Stephanie discuss the changes at Titan and Stephanie and Chad discuss getting married. Chad wants to wait Stephanie agrees but in the hug you see she doesn’t really think waiting is a great idea.
 
Bonnie (who I still do not like) said Alex said all the right things that Justin would always be his dad, but did he? I kind of remember him saying the opposite!

Well Tate has certainly grown up! Who's next? Holly, so they can date? I am not at all liking Emily O'Brien (old Gwen) as new Theresa at all. And she did the letter? But what did she do?

I don't like Stephanie and Chad at all, but fear not. If they plan a wedding Abigail is sure to come back. I think it would be cool if they brought the actress back but not as Abigail so it messes with Chad's head even more.
 
I don't think Emily O'Brien (Theresa) has the personality to pull off what's needed to be a character like Theresa. Not in a bad sense but I think Emily O'Brien is much more reserved and quiet in real life and it was perhaps too much to think she could play that type of role which she probably isn't comfortable with. Jen Lilley (ex-Theresa) seems like she would be more fun and outgoing if that makes sense so I think that type the role came easier for her (Jen Lilley).
 
How about handwriting analysis on the letter?

It wouldn't work adding Ale in front of Xander because spacing would not work and the capital X would not work. Whiteout erasure would also be noticeable.
 
This is the show that raises the dead, and has Satan on speed-dial, so forging a letter in some manner is nothing. For all we know, she quickly wrote another letter and substituted Alex's name for Xander's. Just have to wait and see how this plays out.
 
We know that the original plan for Theresa's return was supposed to be a 12-week arc, which Jen Lilley (REAL Theresa) could not commit to. So, does anyone know if the plan is for Gwen/Theresa to finish the story as planned, and then go back to a return of Gwen, or will she be around as Theresa for a while?
 
Let's see.... we have Alex, who looks like Ben, Bonnie, who really resembles Adrienne a lot, Gwen who is the image of Theresa......and let's not forget Stefan, who appeared suddenly as the twin brother of very dead Jake.

Maybe Salem should be renamed Doppleganger City. And let's not forget Hattie, who looked exactly like Marlena...even Susan (using a lot of makeup) pretended to be Kristen, and/or vice versa.
 
And we had Arnold Finnegar, a/k/a FakeRafe.

Ava, who greatly resembles Taylor Walker the last time she was in town.

Roman Brady who looks a lot like his old pal, Chris Kositchek.

Rex Brady who looks an awful lot like teenage Brady Black

Hope and Princess Gina.

Mitch, who was a Bo lookalike hired by Lawrence Alamain (when Bo was played by Robert Kelker-Kelly)

Gillian and Grace Forrester (played by real life twins Camilla and Carey More); once Gillian went to prison for killing Emma Donovan, then Carey More left the show and Camilla More took over the role of Grace

Shane and Drew Donovan

Tony and Andre

Duke and Earl Johnson

Susan, Sister Mary Moira, Thomas and Penelope Kent (plus Kristen)

Deidre Hall also played Samantha Evans a couple times when she was sick/injured and imagined dead Samantha was there talking to her, plus she played the 4 Marlena clones that Stefano sent out into the world to confuse John
 
Correct, originally the only ones who knew Bill was Mike's real father were Tom, Laura and Bill, who all knew Mickey was sterile.

The truth only came out when teenage Mike was in an accident, needed blood and Mickey wasn't a match. The writers kept that quiet from 1968 until Mike was SORAS'd and played by Wesley Eure and the truth came out in 1976.

Mike still considered Mickey his dad until Mickey died. So maybe that's what Maggie meant, that after the truth came out, everybody knew Bill was Mike's bio dad, but Mickey and Mike still kept a close father/son relationship. Eventually Mike came to look at Bill as sort of a "bonus dad" but for a good while, he called him Bill, while he always called Mickey dad.

Back when Michael T. Weiss played Mike, he sort of treated Melissa and Sarah as his little sisters, not cousins.

Why is he living with someone now then?

Just Samantha said:
My guess is after the 12 week arc with Theresa, then Emily O'Brien will resume playing Gwen.

Stop the madness!

I want Anne and Rory to return and do a hostile takeover of Titan or DiMera or the mayor's office. Or even the cupcake joint. Maybe they could get that place an indoor counter and I think Rory can take advantage of weed being legal in Salem now.
