“Stefano tells John and Hope that the only way Marlena will be safe is if they agree to his terms. Stefano wants John and Hope to find a missing piece of art he had “the pawn” and Princess Gina steal but they never gave to him. John and Hope have no clue where the piece of art is but Stefano tells them they will have to revert to being the pawn and Princess Gina. Kate tells Will that she has suspected that he is gay for awhile. Nicole begins to develop feelings for Rafe but he goes off to try things with Carrie. Rafe arrives and over hears Austin and Carrie trying to work things out but he leaves before Carrie tells Austin that she can’t just turn off her feelings for Rafe. Agent Spencer tells Billie that she needs to move into the DiMera mansion to dig up more dirt on Stefano.” 

"All soaps have their iconic moments. You know, the ones when you know where you were, what you were doing, and the impact they had on you as they played out. One of mine happened when sweet Jenny Gardner (Kim Delaney) was blown to bits on a jet ski on All My Children.

In 2003, Days of Our Lives needed a ratings kick in the ass. The show brought back James E. Reilly, who wrote a story about a person dressed in black and a hockey mask who set out to kill the residents of Salem one by one.

Abe (James Carver) and Jack (Matthew Ashford) were the first two to go. Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) sat and chatted with her killer for nearly an entire episode before she met her demise. Next came Caroline (Peggy McCay) and Cassie (Alexis Thorpe). Who could ever forget someone falling out of a piñata? Never mind divorcing your ex . . . why not kill him on his wedding day? Goodbye Roman (Josh Taylor)!"

As entertaining as this scene was and most of that being Deidre Hall as Dr. Marlena Evans, it’s not believable and I don’t mean that in a bad way. 

I mean think about that, Dr. Marlena Evans as a killer, the last thing doctors do is murder people. I mean that would break their hypocritical oath, wouldn’t it (or hippocratic oath, I know it is one or the other) and besides she is a baby-face killer, I mean she’s too sweet to kill anyone. Women that adorable don’t murder anyone, except in Hollywood, wait this is Days of Our Lives, so maybe this isn’t so unbelievable.

But that sort of goes to my point of why this scene is so good. Dr. Marlena Evans (played by Deidre Hall) this gorgeous, adorable woman, who looks 10-15 years younger than she actually is, who is better looking than Sammy who plays one of her daughters on this show, she’s perfect to play a killer, because no one would believe her as a killer. There’s nothing scary about her, which is why she could do it and fool everyone, because no one would expect her as the killer. Because she looks too sweet to hurt an ant.
