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? Learn on to seek out out what our spherical desk thinks.

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

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

I believe it is Xander who’s Victor’s son, as many followers have speculated. Furthermore, the vast majority of followers have needed 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.

In the event that they follow Alex, I actually assume it is pure junk of a storyline. Alex is not worthy to be Victor’s son.

Jack: Whereas I believe it might have made a ton extra sense for Justin to develop into Victor’s son slightly than his nephew, I am having fun with this paternity twist story greater than I believed I’d.

Alex is a slightly 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 might assume Alex would understand that is not his mom’s handwriting! (And Justin ought to as nicely.)

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

Christine: I am actually hoping it is not Alex, however Xander, who’s Victor’s son. Why would Victor hold this secret for many years after which harm Justin like this when he died? That is unnecessary to me.

That the title and Angeleica’s signature had been on a separate remaining web page is fishy. I am hoping this storyline sends Alex down a brand new street, 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 attempt to hold 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 part of his kid’s life. She allowed him to lie and lift Eric’s baby, 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: Completely not, and particularly not the best way they’re doing it. Sarah could have parental rights because the mom, however Xander has rights as the daddy except a courtroom terminates these rights.

I might 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 check in a hospital the place assessments are by no means an correct factor. Then he might head to courtroom.

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

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

Christine: No! Xander has achieved horrible issues previously, however except Sarah desires to take him to courtroom to get full custody, he nonetheless has the appropriate to be Victoria’s father and be listed as such on her delivery certificates.

And Rex shouldn’t have any say in any of this. His vanity is grating on my each nerve.

However this complete 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 prefer 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 take pleasure in her relationship with Xander, however they moved to marriage too quick.

I might prefer to see Xander and Chloe in a relationship however at a steadier tempo. They’re really excellent collectively.

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

I additionally like her with Philip and at all times have, however I might slightly a while cross first. I do not like the best way Chloe jumps immediately from one man to a different. It makes her look flighty, particularly since she retains biking via her exes.

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

Christine: I might like to see Chloe and Xander get married and co-parent Victoria. They make an amazing couple, and it might make Sarah and Rex loopy. It will additionally break the drained TV trope of a child at all times bringing a pair again collectively. 

I additionally would not thoughts seeing Chloe with Philip. I am having fun with this recast of Philip greater than I anticipated. However 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 many 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 am guessing Stabi will cowl for Vivian as a result of she saved their lives. I have not seen something about Dimitri leaving, so I’ll guess he is not lifeless.

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

Stefan will possible understand his mom acted to guard him. However Vivian’s assist by no means comes totally free, so I might watch out if I had been him and Gabi.

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

Gwen referred to as out Leo for sleeping along 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 take pleasure in these characters is when they’re collectively.

Christine: Sure! I really like Gwen and Leo. They’ve one of the crucial 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 am hoping they’ll get previous this, too.

Was Paulina proper to fireplace Trask? What would you prefer 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 aside from being the DA. She’s turn into so one word, however she has the potential to supply one thing extra.

Jack: Completely! Paulina did not fireplace her as a result of “you had been imply 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 habits has crossed moral strains for much too lengthy, and she or he wanted to be gone a very long time in the past. I might prefer to see her should face the state bar affiliation in a listening to to find out whether or not she ought to be disbarred for her many moral violations.

Christine: Paulina had each proper to fireplace Trask. Melinda has walked the moral line and stepped over it once in a while. And there are occasions she is extra concerned with humiliating somebody publically than in following the legislation.

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

At present, 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: Sure, Salem might use a couple of extra youthful {couples}, particularly as a result of Tripp and Wendy are a sleep fest. I am not exaggerating; if I actually need to go to sleep, I watch their scenes, and I am out like a log.

We do not want a heap of them, however a couple of extra would not harm as long as they’re fascinating.

Jack: It completely does. The kids are the following technology, and teenage life lends itself nicely to excessive drama. As well as, we have now 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, however it has been missing for a number of years, and there are many youngsters who’re off-screen who might fill that void. And it is a basic Salem trope to ship a child off to boarding faculty and produce 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. Surely, he was at all times 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 beloved him. Like, I severely had whiplash. It was an excessive amount of.

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

I needed to punch Rex when he mentioned that Xander would by no means get wherever close to Victoria. Rex is having fun with preserving 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 report. A decide did simply that in Kristen and Brady’s case not too long ago!

Christine: There was no Johnny and Chanel this week, and I missed them! They’re 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 preserving his baby 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 internal Victor, and it was enjoyable to look at.

I additionally beloved that Chloe advised the reality straight away concerning the child and that it wasn’t dragged out.

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

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

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

Oddly sufficient, I am glad that Susan is alive, although she will be able to annoy me at occasions as a result of I am wanting ahead to the reunion between her and EJ.
