I could be wrong, but the way they said "Major character" made it seem like we were losing a character not an actor, hence Bo. But that's my theory.
I can understand "killing" Bo off, but why the coverup? Puzzling to me.

My guess about the murder mystery:
Kristen is exposed and she's found dead the next day or so, murdered.
Later it's revealed in a flashback that the DiMeras paid someone to pose as Kristen (the look-alike) and the killer murdered her instead of Kristen.
I rather like the idea that the look-alike raped Eric and Kristen is stunned as everyone else when the video is played. Since she can't convince Brady that it wasn't her, Kristen then traces down the look alike and kills her herself, leaving all to believe that Kristen is really dead, but she isn't. She is actually whisked away by Stefano and EJ before anyone can figure out she is not dead, but did the killing.

I'm confused as to how they can write a murder mystery about Bo though. How does that work if he's gone? If it is him, it's going to be a really shitty story given we haven't physically seen him in such a long time.

I will be glad if they do kill him though because his absence is so OOC at this point. They seriously should have just had him "die" in a boating accident or something though. Who's going to be invested in a murder mystery for a character who's been gone for so long, and hasn't even been seen?

I'm personally hoping it's Kristen though, and they leave the death open ended. It also can't be Nick right? He would've been a good contender, but he's been filming scenes since the filming of this story I think...
See this hits the point that makes me think it's NOT Bo (although his death should have been a story months ago)

How would there be a murder mystery involving Bo when he is off screen and there is absolutely no motive to make it a viable story? What is the value of killing off an iconic hero in a murder mystery with no build up and cause? I expect whatever happened to him to be addressed soon and give Hope some screen time if there is any justice. Alfonso needs some good scenes to sink her teeth into, and she is yet another female icon on this show that can act her ass off, but gets no story or screen time. Instead they give it to Missy Reeves, who without Matt Ashford to prop her up, has proven less talented than I ever thought.

I know these writers make no sense sometimes, but killing off one of Days top hero's of all time, off screen, with no climatic event or forgone reason would be a stretch for even this regime (and that is not a compliment to them, just the common sense of a five year old). It would rob the story of any real punch, and leave us thinking WTF?

My money is on an open ended death for Kristen, since when an interviewer asked her if she was written out in a way she could easily come back she said "no". That's just my take on the subject and I may be totally off.

I just do not want Bo Brady Killed off in a "Mystery" off screen, and be left feeling like it robbed an iconic character from a real send off. If he were investigating a drug rink, or getting close to some secrets people wanted covered up on screen, then GREAT! That would have totally worked. A mystery with no build up off screen would not do Bo justice.

In thinking about killing Bo and covering up, the only reason I could think of hiding it would be because of Caroline having Alzhiemer's and her not being able to handle the news. Otherwise, ???

It's not possible for the look alike to be the rapist because we actually saw that it was Kristen all the way and the things she said leading to the rape and after the act itself, saying how the rape was the perfect way ruin Marlena's life (I still don't see how, she only ruined Eric's) that was all Kristen. Why would a look alike track down a Salem priest, demanding a specific room, bribe the clerk etc etc? Eric is and has always been too benign to have enemies unlike his sister and unfortunately his mother, due to no fault of hers. People may dislike Eric but not enough to rape him as he's now a priest. The only f-up person(s) left in Salem remotely capable of that is Kristen and his own sister.

I am actually looking forward to the return of dark Brady. It sure beats stupid Brady.
Dark Brady usually means Eric Martsolf playing a goofy drunk, I'll pass.

It just dawned on me that with the "cover up" concept, they could pretty much kill anyone and then have the same actor remain on the show, but technically be playing a new character who is secretly taking the place of the original character.

a serial killer would be nice but with our luck the targets wouldnt be who we wanted...example Daniel/Rafe would live...Marlena/Hope would die

My son is not a homersexual.

Kristen has been editing the tape for weeks.

Eileen has backtracked a bit, basically clamming up unlike a month ago when she gave a few clues. She said that Kristen is not down and out. She said that she wasn't sure how they would wrap up her story (she had already completed filming when she said this). She said the show hired someone who looked like her. She said that she didn't know what they were going to do with that. I don't think she was filming when the lookalike was to begin filming. Keep in mind, the show shoots out of sequence. This other woman could be spliced in an episode that Eileen filmed.

Bottom line: Kristen isn't dead. The story continues after Kristen exits. Kristen would have no idea that a lookalike was hired as Eileen had no clue as to what that was all about.

Maybe the Murder Mystery is about Marge? Maybe she pulled a Tony/Andre (~a la Aremid~) committed suicide but arranged her death to appear as a murder?

You know...they kind of threw out an anvil about it being Kristen just yesterday. When Stefano said he would not bury another child...it doesn't sound like it's her based on the articles, though.

Good point. But the death is supposed to take place in late November, isn't Eileen's last airdate in mid-November though? Also does anyone remember Nathan Owens' last airdate? I thought it was at the end of October, if that's the case the dead person can't be Cameron.

That's when he said it was, but he was wrong. I don't know the exact date, though.

The newest issue of Soap Opera Digest features a November preview for all soaps. The preview for Days is provided by Ken Corday.

Among the tidbits Corday shares are:

- Kristen leaves Salem after a "stunning reveal". After this, Brady goes back to his old ways, which will not be a short character arc. Meanwhile, Eric realizes his mistake in accusing Nicole.

- Sami suspects EJ has been keeping a secret from her.

- A "major character" dies, and a coverup takes place afterward. This is the big murder mystery previewed at the beginning of the summer. Corday shares that this will not be a short story.

Check out the latest Digest for many more details!
I wish and hope not bo is died.

Kristen's death would be way more fun, and SO MANY SUSPECTS. Who'd wanna kill Bo? I mean, does Stefano even care at this point? Marlena's alone, John's gone and he's barely cracked a single "Queen of the Night" out, except to invite her to a family dinner.

That said, it'd be easy. Bo's blood and his wedding ring are found, and that's the crime scene.
I wish and hope not to bo died. please not.

I really don't consider Nick or Chad or Cameron to be considered a "major character"....major character to me means Hope/Bo/Jennifer/Marlena/John/Sami/EJ/Kate/Stefano/Will/Nicole/Eric/Rafe and Daniel.
