This week's SOW has that as Lexie's last day.

Maybe Lexie will leave town with Theo to keep him away from Stefano? I hope they at least explain some reason for her going.

That's actually what I was thinking. I also have a feeling Celeste will go along with them. We saw how Celeste reacted the last time Lexie left town. She was worried about her night and day. I see Celeste wanting to be there to protect her daughter and grandson, she goes with them to hide out from the DiMeras. And I think Abe will support this decision. However, it sucks because this will all probably be mentioned in one scene at the wedding or reception. There are no spoilers for Abe and Lexie as of yet, so nothing big is going to happen.

Plus, remember what Marcus Patrick said? He said that the show now has only one token minority figure, that being Abe. People quickly jumped down Marcus' throat, saying that is not true. The show had Nick's kids and Celeste. Well, Nick's kids were recently taken out of Salem. And I could see Celeste leaving with Lexie, so maybe Marcus was actually telling the truth. The scenes where Celeste would leave with Lexie would have already been taped when Marcus made that statement, so maybe he was telling the truth.

Drew, Whether or not Celeste is seen again, Marcus' statement is technically true. Until they put Ashley actually on contract or onscreen James Reynolds will be the only contract black star on Days.

Tanya Boyd is not technically a cast member of Days of Our Lives. She has no ties to Days at all. People misunderstand recurring all the time. Anyone who technically doesn't have a contract with the show is recurring. They can come and go at anytime if Days calls them to come to work.

Just because Tanya Boyd has status by the office as being recurring, they have no guarantees to use her at all. Michael Storm has been listed as recurring on One Life To Live for years now but yet he hasn't appeared on OLTL in at least 3 or 4 years now.

They either never call him to work or he is not available when they do call.

Tanya Boyd or John Aniston either one can be called tomorrow and just say no I don't want to work and Days can't do a damn thing about it. And since she has not contract with the show, they don't even have to give Tanya a farewell scene or say anything about her. She can just linger around as if she is in Salem somewhere.

I read several years ago that someone in the production offices just created the term recurring to make firings sound better. It has been something that has gone on for years on soaps - someone just gave it a name. Rosemary Prinz used to come and go all the time on As The World Turns after she left the show and not once was she ever referred to as recurring.

Sami is angry when Lucas reveals he named their daughter

Screw Sami, i have no sympathy for her in regards to Lucas naming the girl without her...I'm glad Lucas took the time to finally come up with a name..Maybe Sami should have taken the time to name her daughter when she was born..But no, she was busy forcing Lucas to get a divorce, marrying EJ, and being by his bedside after the shooting..

Girl power.

Sami "finds out?" So Lucas doesn't even tell her. That rocks!

I love how they are writing Lucas throughout this. They're writing him the way any husband, whose wife just chose to marry another man, would react. He's pissed off. And they're not writing Lucas immaturely, which is very easy to do. He is making decisions in a mature fashion. He doesn't want his daughter to be influenced by the DiMeras, which he fears will happen whether Sami believes it will or not. And he probably doesn't want Will involved either. So he is taking stand and making decisions.

I hated Lucas a lot for most of this year, but I'm finally starting to like him again.

I agree, Drew. I just hope they keep writing him this way.

Things are really looking good. Can't wait.

Lynda Hirsch spoilers

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sami convinces E.J. she truly cares for him. Stefano promises Sami he'll leave the Bradys alone if E.J. recovers. Roman shows Kate the gun he claims to have found near her apartment and threatens to arrest her for attempted murder. Bo escorts Steve to the station with the gun from the pub. Roman reveals it's his gun and explains how Steve found him at the church with the gun and covered for him by hiding it. Sami is stunned to hear that Lucas allowed Will to leave for Switzerland without consulting her. She reads Will's goodbye letter, which says she's hurt the family. Lucas announces he wants full custody of their daughter. Stephanie and Kayla are relieved to learn Stephanie's pregnancy test is negative. The sorority girls post fliers all over campus warning that Ford Decker is a rapist. Belle is overcome with memories of Philip, but she suppresses them and marries Shawn. Marlena visits Stefano, begging him to let Sami end her marriage to E.J. Stefano says he will — but he wants Marlena in return. Marlena vows to kill him.

I am totally not a fan of Lucas's character right now. Does the guy have no moral or decent fibre at all? Just because Sami is placed in an impossible position one would think that as the main man in her life he would be there to support her. Goodness sakes he says he loves her, yet in that same breathe he is taking her children away from her. Sami is not an unfit mother just because she refuses to stay married to their father. This is a truely unfortunate storyline, and I hope it signals to all women who watch this soap how truely reprehensible the character of Lucas is. Why can't the guy put together a spa nite for her? For heavens sakes she just had TWO babies, and is caring not only for her family but now for a fellow who is paralysed. Instead of increasing her stress levels he should be trying to decrease them. Has he also not thought of the care and concern of his children, I am thinking they are too young right now to be taken away from their mother. It is sooo weird to me that while EJ is protecting her rights as a mother against her father...showing how much he truely loves her. Here comes Lucas taking those rights away. To me Lucas is pathetic and I really feel sorry for his children. If that is his brand of love...Sami is better off with EJ.

I believe Lucas thinks he's doing what he has to to protect his daughter from E.J. and the DiMeras. Honestly, I really don't blame him.

After all... tomorrow is another day!

The thing is... is Lucas really pushing for custody because he thinks it's in the best interest of the kids or is it because he wants to punish Sami and/or manipulate her into coming back to him? Because it's not clear to me what danger these children are in being raised by Sami and considering Lucas let his child's mother go to death row for a murder he committed and then kept that crime a secret to keep the mother from getting custody after she was exonerated it's hard for me to view what he's doing as if the purest of intentions are at work here.

Can you guys seriously blame Lucas? His wife just divorced him to marry the man who raped her..Add to that, one of the babies he thought was his turned out to be EJ's..

Also Lucas knows that EJ raped his wife and shot john..Its well within reason to want to protect his child from the man..

^ Agreed. Lucas has annoyed me a lot this year, but I'm actually on his side on this one. He couldn't stop Sami from marrying the same man who (from their point of view) raped her and shot John, not to mention all the other crimes he's committed, but he's not going to let his child be dragged into this. And I can see where he'd be a little extra protective considering that one of the twins he's already "lost" to E.J.

That would be fine, except that it feels like Lucas is doing all of this to punish Sami. I thought he wanted her back in his life at all costs. If I were Sami there is no way in HELL that I would ever allow Lucas back in my life once he has taken my children. It is absolutely ridiculous.

I concede the point that he wants to protect his daughter from the DiMera's HOWEVER does he have no care or feeling for the fact that they are new born TWINS that need to not only bond with their mother but also must bond with one another. I think that Lucas is acting like a JERK in all senses of the meaning on this issue. There is no way in my mind that he is acting like a caring spouse or a concerned father. The welfare of the new born children should be at the uppermost of his mind and to me that means that they have to remain with their mother. It is not as if Sami has moved out of their apartment...for goodness sakes she is still living with him. So to me the whole basis of the argument is ridiculous.

Further more the whole shooting of John is still up for debate. I would add the "rape" in there but those are my personal feelings on the issue. I feel bad for Lucas, however this is another example of him throwing Sami under the bus when the going gets tough. To me he can leave the canvas and I would be alright with that. Him and his yelling which he calls acting.

I find it odd that Sami named her son but just left her daughter hanging like that. I guess it was just a way to make Sami show her love for John and be done with it <_<

I do find it really odd that Marlena has nothing to do with the planning of her daughters wedding. I assume this was tapped when Deidre was in Austrailia, and that is why she isn't part of the planning... but it is still odd.
