Days of Our Lives Round Table: Alex is Victor’s Son!

Alex is Victor’s son!

Our TV Fanatics, Jack and Christine, are joined by DoolFan4Life from MyHourglass, a Days of Our Lives fan discussion board, to debate if that letter was actual, if Dimitri will survive, Gwen and Leo’s future, and extra.

And are Sarah and Rex proper to maintain Victoria from Xander? Read on to search out out what our spherical desk thinks.

Do you consider the letter with Victor’s will was right and Alex is his son, not Justin? What do you assume of this twist?

DoolFan4Life: No, I do not consider the letter was right Theresa is a class-A troublemaker, and he or she had the time and motive to tamper with them, which is what I consider she did.

I believe it is Xander who is Victor’s son, as many followers have speculated. Moreover, the bulk of followers have wished this. Making it Alex is a slap within the face to followers, and I do assume it is only a “made you look” form of prank.

If they follow Alex, I truthfully assume it is pure junk of a storyline. Alex is not worthy to be Victor’s son.

Jack: While I believe it could have made a ton extra sense for Justin to transform Victor’s son quite than his nephew, I’m having fun with this paternity twist story greater than I believed I’d.

Alex is a quite random selection, so it is tempting to assume the letter was cast, however I do not see any method that works. If that wasn’t actually Angelica’s letter, I’d assume Alex would understand that is not his mom’s handwriting! (And Justin ought to as properly.)

And if the letter is actual however she’s not speaking about Alex, that might imply she named two youngsters Alexander. I do know something can occur in Salem, however that simply appears too ridiculous, even for this present.

Christine: I’m actually hoping it isn’t Alex, however Xander, who is Victor’s son. Why would Victor maintain this secret for many years after which damage Justin like this when he died? That is not sensible to me.

That the title and Angeleica’s signature had been on a separate ultimate web page is fishy. I’m hoping this storyline sends Alex down a brand new highway, after which he learns none of it was true and the letter was really referring to Xander.

Xander is aware of Victoria is his daughter. Are Sarah and Rex proper to try to maintain him out of her life?

DoolFan4Life: No, they don’t seem to be proper to maintain her away from him. He has each proper to be a component of his kid’s life. She allowed him to lie and lift Eric’s youngster, so why would his precise one be any completely different?

Rex has overplayed his hand in all of it, and Sarah is form of ruined for me now, too; I hope Xander will get full custody of Victoria.

Jack: Absolutely not, and particularly not the way in which they’re doing it. Sarah might have parental rights because the mom, however Xander has rights as the daddy until a court docket terminates these rights.

I’d love for Xander to have recorded that dialog the place she admitted he was the daddy in order that we will get round the entire getting a paternity take a look at in a hospital the place exams are by no means an correct factor. Then he may head to court docket.

Maybe Justin can put apart his grief over studying Alex is not biologically his to assist Xander shield his daughter from the identical destiny.

It can be nice if Rex was charged with kidnapping since he is purposely pretending to be the newborn’s father for the aim of retaining her away from her actual father.

Christine: No! Xander has executed horrible issues previously, however until Sarah needs to take him to court docket to get full custody, he nonetheless has the proper to be Victoria’s father and be listed as such on her beginning certificates.

And Rex should not have any say in any of this. His vanity is grating on my each nerve.

But this whole storyline has ruined any attainable future for Xander and Sarah for me. She could not love him and do that to him.

Would you continue to wish to see Chloe marry Xander, get again along with Philip, or be on her personal?

DoolFan4Life: Since John Paul Lavoisier reprised the function of Philip, I do not need Chloe with him, and definitely not this rapidly. I did get pleasure from her relationship with Xander, however they moved to marriage too quick.

I’d wish to see Xander and Chloe in a relationship however at a steadier tempo. They’re really superb collectively.

Jack: I favored Chloe and Xander collectively, and I do not see any cause it has to finish. As Philip stated, co-parenting is a factor.

I additionally like her with Philip and all the time have, however I’d quite a while cross first. I do not like the way in which Chloe jumps immediately from one man to a different. It makes her look flighty, particularly since she retains biking by her exes.

In any case, please maintain Brady out of the image! If she has to decide on between the lads, a Xander/Chloe/Philip triangle is method higher than that obnoxiousness that is her and Brady these days.

Christine: I’d like to see Chloe and Xander get married and co-parent Victoria. They make a fantastic couple, and it could make Sarah and Rex loopy. It would additionally break the drained TV trope of a child all the time bringing a pair again collectively. 

I additionally would not thoughts seeing Chloe with Philip. I’m having fun with this recast of Philip greater than I anticipated. But I agree that Chloe jumps from man to man a lot too rapidly.

And please, do not put her again along with Brady! They had been one of the worst {couples} in Salem.

Vivian shot Dimitri! Is he lifeless? Will Stefan and Gabi cowl this up for Vivian or name the police?

DoolFan4Life: I’m guessing Stabi will cowl for Vivian as a result of she saved their lives. I have never seen something about Dimitri leaving, so I’m going to guess he isn’t lifeless.

Jack: I doubt Dimitri is lifeless as a result of that might put an finish to Gwen and Leo’s rivalry for him, and that might be an odd and abrupt ending to that story.

Stefan will seemingly understand his mom acted to guard him. But Vivian’s assist by no means comes without cost, so I’d watch out if I had been him and Gabi.

Christine: I would not thoughts if Dimitri was gone for good, however I doubt that may occur. My guess is that Stefan will cowl for his mom or a minimum of again up the story that she saved their lives

Gwen known as out Leo for sleeping together with her husband. Can their friendship survive, and would you like it to?

DoolFan4Life: I do not care. I need Gwen to get on a one-way flight out of Salem. She provides nothing to the present.

Jack: Their friendship survived them accusing one another of homicide, so it SHOULD be capable to survive this. I need it to as a result of Gwen and Leo’s friendship is a breath of recent air, and the one time I get pleasure from these characters is when they’re collectively.

Christine: Yes! I really like Gwen and Leo. They have one of probably the most enjoyable and distinctive friendships in Salem, and I do not wish to lose that.

As Jack identified, they’ve survived accusing each other of homicide, so I’m hoping they will get previous this, too.

Was Paulina proper to fireside Trask? What would you wish to occur with Melinda Trask subsequent?

DoolFan4Life: Paulina had some extent that Melinda focused her in a really public method and will have dealt with it higher, however I do not know if that is grounds for dismissal.

I believe Melinda wants one other story apart from being the DA. She’s grow to be so one be aware, however she has the potential to supply one thing extra.

Jack: Absolutely! Paulina did not fireplace her as a result of “you were mean to my daughter,” opposite to what some followers appear to assume. She fired her for doing her job in an unprofessional method designed to humiliate the individuals she was arresting.

Trask’s conduct has crossed moral traces for much too lengthy, and he or she wanted to be gone a very long time in the past. I’d wish to see her need to face the state bar affiliation in a listening to to find out whether or not she must be disbarred for her many moral violations.

Christine: Paulina had each proper to fireside Trask. Melinda has walked the moral line and stepped over it occasionally. And there are occasions she is extra fascinated by humiliating somebody publically than in following the regulation.

I could not think about why Paulina would maintain her within the place in any case she’s executed to Paulina and her household.

Currently, the youngest {couples} on the present appear to be of their mid to late 20s (Tripp and Wendy, Chanel, and Johnny.) Does Salem want extra youngsters prefer it had within the Nineteen Nineties and early 2000s?

DoolFan4Life: Yes, Salem may use a number of extra youthful {couples}, particularly as a result of Tripp and Wendy are a nap fest. I’m not exaggerating; if I really want to go to sleep, I watch their scenes, and I’m out like a log.

We do not want a heap of them, however a number of extra would not damage as long as they’re attention-grabbing.

Jack: It completely does. The teenagers are the following technology, and teenage life lends itself properly to excessive drama. In addition, we’ve too many forty-somethings who act like youngsters on this present, so let’s get some precise teenagers and provides these tales to them!

Christine: I used to be by no means an enormous fan of the teenager scene in Salem, nevertheless it has been missing for a number of years, and there are loads of children who’re off-screen who may fill that void. And it is a basic Salem trope to ship a child off to boarding faculty and convey them again as a teen. 

What aggravated the heck out of you this week in Salem?

DoolFan4Life: I used to be aggravated with the reward of how Justin was this stand-up man and placing him on a pedestal. In actuality, he was all the time a womanizer and a creep, so it match completely that he had Alex for a son.

I used to be additionally aggravated that Chloe was in tears, heartbroken, and in 5 seconds, advised Philip she liked him. Like, I significantly had whiplash. It was an excessive amount of.

Jack: Ugh, the Ava and Harris story obtained even sillier. And why is Edmund Crumb all of the sudden a nasty man? He and Susan had been a candy, goofy couple previously. I hate it once they change characters utterly simply to suit the plot!

I wished to punch Rex when he stated that Xander would by no means get anyplace close to Victoria. Rex is having fun with retaining a child, and her father separated.

I additionally needed to chuckle at his declare that no decide would let Xander close to the newborn when he has felonies on his document. A decide did simply that in Kristen and Brady’s case lately!

Christine: There was no Johnny and Chanel this week, and I missed them! They are a pair with nice chemistry, they usually deliver lightness and pleasure to their scenes, which is missing elsewhere in Salem.

Chloe instantly deciding that she and Xander had been over as a result of Victoria was his daughter. She appeared to assume this meant Xander would wish to be again with Sarah, however Sarah is retaining his youngster from him, so I do not perceive her logic.

What was your favourite quote, scene, or storyline from this week’s Days of Our Lives?

DoolFan4Life: I believe Maggie throwing Vivian out of the mansion and getting the higher hand was a satisfying second. I really feel like she channeled her interior Victor, and it was enjoyable to look at.

I additionally liked that Chloe advised the reality immediately concerning the child and that it wasn’t dragged out.

Jack: Surprisingly, I liked Alex and Sonny’s scenes. Alex was annoying me together with his self-pity and consuming, however the scenes had been sturdy and practical for the state of affairs.

I additionally loved Chloe and Philip’s scenes, in addition to Chloe telling Xander the reality.

Christine: I liked that Chloe advised Xander the reality. How usually does that occur in Salem?

Oddly sufficient, I’m glad that Susan is alive, regardless that she will be able to annoy me at instances as a result of I’m trying ahead to the reunion between her and EJ.
