The Truth Comes Out!

BREAKING NEWS!
Soap Opera Digest reported that Mark Hapka, who plays Dr. Nathan Horton on Days of our Lives, has been let go ! Of course the show is ahead on taping and the final airdate has not been released. So much for the possible relationship between him and Melanie. Supposedly he asked the writers for a good storyline and they gave him the quarantine one. He wasn't satisfied and asked either for more or to be let go...so they let him go.

There is a petition her for anyone who wants to sign it- http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SaveMarkHapka

Also Christie Clark (Carrie) will be back on the show again starting in early February. This isn't exactly new information but I'm excited to see her return! Ok, on to the good stuff- the recap of today's episode.

The shows opens with Vivian and Gus being dumped on the private island. Meanwhile Brady and Kate celebrate their win over drinks in the Kiriakis mansion. They discuss the Phillip/Melanie situation. Kate decides to go put salt in Chloe's wounds while she is in such a good mood. Vivian tries to find out where they could be. She tells Gus to go one way while she goes another way and the will meet back in an hour looking for civilization. Of course they don't find anything. Vivian tells Gus to go make fire, make a shelter, and get food. Gus tells her he can't do all of that as they see a plane fly by. They try to get the pilot's attention. The pilot leaves them supplies such as food and water. I can't wait to watch more of this story. They are hilarious together.

Nathan runs to Melanie (of course) and tells her he feels so sorry for her. Melanie falls into his arms weeping. She tells him she appreciates him visiting and Nathan tells her he had to check on her. They talk about the whole situation and Melanie tells Nathan that he was right when he told her Phillip was wrong for her. Melanie reminds him that he is getting married tomorrow and then going to Baltimore so he should go. He reluctantly leaves. Brady shows up and they eat and discuss Phillip. He asks why she wanted to see Nathan at the door instead of him when he showed up. She tells him that Nathan is getting married tomorrow so she doesn't want to talk about it. She tells Brady that the best girl won...

Phillip talks to her and demands that she admits she knew about the paternity test. They go back to Steph's apartment to discuss his accusation. Stephanie tried to deny that she had any part at first but then she admits to it. Phillip becomes enraged. Stephanie tells him she didn't know he was Parker's father until after the fact. Phillip tells Stephanie he will be quiet about her part in the whole situation as Nathan is about to enter the apartment overhearing them since they are still standing right by the door of course. Phillip leaves and Nathan hides. He peeks in the apartment and sees Stephanie on the computer right by the door. First, every other time she was on the laptop she was always sitting in another spot which is away from the door. Secondly, why would Nathan even hide? Wouldn’t you think he would trust her a little bit since they are supposed to be getting married ...tomorrow? Thirdly, why haven't we seen any wedding arrangements being made? Hmmmm...I guess the writers think we are stupid again. Anyway Stephanie gets a call from her mom and tells her to come over to see her try on her dress. She goes on to say she hates fighting with her and that she wants the wedding to be normal. Nathan comes home and finds the laptop still on. He finds a message she sent to Ian saying don't tell anyone what we did. Why would she just leave it up like that? If I shared an apartment with someone who I was hiding something from I would have at least logged out of my email, lol. Anyway Nathan leaves to go find out what is going on. Stephanie comes out in her dress-which is ugly in my opinion. Anyway Nathan busts through the dead bolt after Stephanie tries to keep him from coming in saying she is in her dress! It is about to go down :).

Chloe is at the apartment crying unable to pack. Chloe gets on the computer to look at pictures of Daniel and the baby. She gets a knock at the door only to find that it is Kate who smiles and says she wants to see her grandson. They have a few words and Kate barges in to see Parker. She holds him and remarks how beautiful he is and that he looks just like Phillip. Chloe takes the baby saying that he needs a nap while Kate says she is going to have to change his name. Kate tells Chloe that she should leave town and start over leaving Parker there. She upsets Chloe telling her that no one wants her but Chloe tells Kate that Daniel will forgive her. Kate tells Chloe she is basically screwed and farther condemns her (using words so bad I'm glad my daughter wasn't in the room) as Phillip comes up telling his mother to shut up and to leave. He apologizes to her and they embrace. He asks her if she needs some money but Chloe tells Phillip she has decided not to move out after all.

Meanwhile Bo and Hope get on a boat and come face to face with another man holding a gun. The man turns out to be Ed Marinaro an old friend of both Bo and Hope's. He has agreed to help them and informs them that the state police are on the way. He asks what their plan is. He gives them a laptop as well and leaves the boat wishing them luck. Bo tells Hope that they make a great team and that the boat reminds him of the “Fancy Face”. They both look flustered. Then Bo goes to set sail. He tells him they are at their usual secluded spot. Hope goes online trying to prove that Jane and Lee knew each other before. She finds the warden's cell phone records and finds her other cell phone with the calls to the doctor, although they are unaware who it is at this time. They look it up using Roman's information only to find that it is a private number.

Meanwhile Jennifer is found in the warden's office and she tells the warden she was still there late get the report she was supposed to have ready by tomorrow. She seems really jumpy which lets us know she is up to something. Lee tells Warden Jane that she shouldn't trust her. Jane ignores a phone call from the doctor who is needing a kidney. Jane tells him she will have to call him back and Ben storms out of Caroline's empty room and is met with Jennifer with flowers for Caroline. She asks if there is something wrong and apologizes for startling him. He says a kidney transplant has fallen through and is creepily upset about it. The dramatic music helps....Meanwhile at the jail Lee comes in to tell the warden that another prisoner has collapsed due to an aneurism. She asks if she should go for it but the warden tells her it is too risky now. Ben gets a call from the warden and tells Jen that the patient will get the kidney after.


Here is a video of Kate's proposition to Chloe and Nathan spying on Stephanie in case you missed it :)!
