DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Who Killed Deimos?

Courtesy/NBC

The suspects are many, and it looks like the initial Salemite taken into custody may not be the culprit!

On last Friday’s episode of Days of our Lives, it was JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) who was arrested for having Deimos Kirkiakis’ (Vincent Irizarry) blood on his shirt! But with so many people at the Martin House shindig under the effects of the drug Halo (Thanks to a vindictive Deimos spiking the champagne that everyone drank), did a drugged JJ really kill the guy? JJ always seems to land in hot water, even when he is innocent!

On a side note: Hey All My Children fans, remember when Vincent Irizarry as Dr. David Hayward also drugged the party goers on a yacht filled with Pine Valley residents with the drug Libidozone? Interesting bit of history repeating itself!

Back to DAYS: From Nicole (Arianne Zucker), Eric (Greg Vaughan), Sonny (Freddie Smith), Paul (Christopher Sean), Chad (Billy Flynn), Gabi (Camila Banus), Lani (Sal Stowers), Eli (Lamon Archey), JJ, Abigail (Marci Miller), Dario (Jordi Vilasuso), Hope (Kristian Alfonso), Rafe (Galen Gering), Victor (John Aniston), Brady (Eric Martsolf) and many others in town, everyone had an ax to grind with the evil drug lord! But, who really finished Deimos off for good

Watch this week’s promo for Days of our Lives after the jump.Then weigh-in! Who will ultimately be revealed to be the real culprit? Will there be a murder trial? Share your theories in the comment section below!

My guess is Dario.

Let’s hope so. The character is pointless. Reminds me of Nick sister. NO REASON FOR BEING ON

I agree, Vicki. I could never understand what the fascination with this character/actor is. He is non-charismatic….not to sound petulant, Vicki, but normally, even the bad boys ‘demand’ some attraction, depending on their personality. He has none.
This guy has nothing to offer. I could easily accept him if he had some allure. And I do not mean looks alone. He is bland……I do agree with you…..he is pointless.
If Dario is exiting, then an easy way to walk out is for him to have killed Deimos. Good riddance, I say….and Gabi can go with him.
I used to love Gabi…..but, she freaks me out. I know she’s always had her cap set for Chad and now, she grabbed the opportunity.
How stupid is Chad? Gabi is an enigma. Do we love her? Detest her? She confounds me. The writers have completely changed her, in my opinion.

Vicki…EXACTLY!!!!! More and more, I find Dario to be BEYOND ANNOYING!!!!! BLECH!!!!!

Take care, Vicki,

Vicki…oh, and one more thing: To me, Dario is FAST-FORWARD MATERIAL ALL THE WAY…PERIOD!!!!!

Take care, Vicki.

I agree. We already know he is running some kind of online theft operation. And now married to Abigail…hmm and wasn’t he there at the beginning of the party?

Who cares—- but if you want to get technical about it — it was whoever created the character to begin with– it was a dumb idea from the get go– got worse over time, don’t blame VI from leaving— but whoever did it, please reveal it quickly, don’t want to have to go down the whole list of Halo suspects with fuzzy memories– if I was writing this, I would have Henderson be the one– the classic the butler did it– and move on.

Whatever! I like a good “whodunnit?” storyline… that being said I cannot wait until Ron Carlivati’s material to start airing! Wish he penned this one!

Deimos killed himself…he accidentally drank his own drug, hallucinted, and attacked himself…realizing he was dieing he managed to wipe off his own fingerprints on the murder weapon to make it look like one of his enemies murdered him!!!

Hahaha…oh, Jimmy…you really crack me up….
That’s some imagination you’ve got there. Love it.

Oh, Jim…that is SO LOL FUNNY!!!!! AND EVEN MORE IMAGINATIVE!!!!!

Later.

My money is on the waiter that was working the party with Deimos. He’s a throw-away character who would be easy to pin the murder on and not disrupt the canvas. Plus, they took the time to show the waiter drinking the tinted champagne while cleaning up. Why, if not to drop a clue? Just my guess.

True, that, Rodd. If TPTB do not have anyone specific in mind of which to rid themselves, then yes, your guess is the only logical one.

I have tuned back into Days of our lives . Last weeks episodes culminating in the murder were just great . Days of our lives has taken a turn for the best , yes the best . The murder mystery is fascinating . I can now sit through an entire episode without turning the tv off and i am even excited at seeing the next episode . You can all tune back in . Make sure to watch last weeks episodes leading up to the murder and when they find the body and who has been arrested but quite possibly hasn’t done it .

Yes, I remember when Dr. Hayward purposely dispensed that drug, since he was essentially the same misguided character as Deimos. It’s not just a case of “history repeating itself” but rather a rehashed done-to-death storyline – Vincent is most certainly a proficient actor but this is pretty much the same character that he is sort of known for portraying. I am more than marginally bored with this show, have missed many of June’s episodes and it doesn’t seem to matter because I can watch a few moments here and there on line and pretty much know what’s going on since it’s the most drawn-out show in television’s history.
It’s not my intention to come across as critical but I do feel that this show needs a shot of “something”, I’m not exactly sure what –

The writers killed Deimos not long after he appeared on the canvas by making him into a one dimensional villain. Poor Vincent Irazarry had to endure some of the worst writing in soap history. As far as who finished the character off at the party, the answer will of course be, “none of the above”. It will probably be Xander. Now, let’s work on getting VIncent over to General Hospital (where the writing is marginally better).

I know, Mister Media. Too bad….One of the best on daytime. I do hope we will see Vincent soon….maybe primetime?

Nicole…since the actress is leaving….I am having computer issues and not getting email…also difficult getting on here so i dont see my replies ect., …i hope to work it out soon…been very ill of late so maybe its a sign i needed a break???

@Jimh….So sorry to hear of your latest woes—computer and otherwise!!! Hope you get them all squared away and soon, so we can again enjoy your delightful posts in their fullest forms of fun and fancy! Until then, take care, my friend!

It’s hit or miss, Shay. Once in a blue moon, I will get one.
What can I say? I am sure it’s my ipad, since I share this email address with my sister-in-law, with minor “adjustments”…LOL.
I do not dare use my personal one…was hacked, last time.

WOW!!! You got my mail? HaHa!! How rich!! I just don’t get it. She’s less than a speck in my world. I do not understand why my words should matter in hers.
We all pick on characters, Shay. But, I draw the line picking on our fellow-posters….. which she does, constantly.
I do not bother reading; only when hers follow mine, which is mostly always….snarky!! Unhinged!!
However I do not read her winded essays.
Issues, much?

The irony is, Shay, she manages to turn the tables on us. We mind our own business; we do not start the ugly disputes and insults .
we enjoy each other’s comments—we go back and forth ( when posted), between ourselves—but, without fail, the demeaning laughter and affrontery upon our person; intelligence; and moral discipline ( which she lacks) starts.
I seem to remember how Mr. Fairmain, last year, in April, cautioned all of us to be respectful of each other and to be mindful of our criticism of the characters/actors.
Well, we are human, and we do ‘fall’ occasionally. But never sgainst each other—the posters, thst is.
I will be first to admit that I go on and on about Sonny. But, so does she. Alexis NEEDS to be out of reach. God forbid anything negative is uttered about this character.
There are so many posters who drag Nina through the mud. You know how much I love Nina/Michelle, Shay….there was nary a comment from me berating you or bashing said posters? No. I do not do that. It is their opinion.
Nonetheless, she continues to demean both of us. You have more control than I, Shay. You do not answer back. I have ignored her for months since the last time.
We sort of, started being civil again, but then, she veered back to her usual self and insulted me. All about Alexis…..it does not stop. Even after MF’s admonition.
I promise to myself, if I stay on the GH site, that I will not abase myself so, ever again. Ignore!!

I know exactly what you mean, Jimmy. I am not receiving any mail from any of the MF sites.
As I had told Shay, I have to go through the boards with a fine-toothed comb to look for any reply.
Thank goodness my “business” mail “goes” elsewhere.
It’s strange.
Sorry about your relapse, Jimmy. Take care of yourself.

Wow, CeeCee…You’re still NOT receiving any MF messages? Bummer! Then again, just between you and me, mia amica, I’ve unfortunately been “treated” to a few highly personal “nastygrams” meant for you over the past few days, I’m sure you can surmise the source and subject matter…LOL. Seems they were “misdirected” to my personal inbox. One made it online the Julian thread, one didn’t. No matter, same old stuff, nothing new!…..@@…..Went straight to my trash file….very apropos! But do check it out when you can….always worth a good laugh if nothing else!

Well, count yourself lucky to have missed the latest two “glittering gems of venomous verbosity,” CeeCeeGirl! Basically, they both boiled down to those two most favorite, oft-repeated buzzwords: “Baby booties and b@@bs!” Need I expound any further? (Rhetorical question….Lol.) But seriously, why these posts continue to be entertained at this late date is beyond me…they never offer anything new or unique, it’s just the same old rehashing of personal grievances and throwing of shade at you, me or the two of us combined! And when I am called out by name, I’m seldom granted the right of response, even if it’s not worth dignifying it with such. This situation is so one-sided that it’s not even up for debate…..and for what purpose? To attempt to placate the truly implacable???? Your guess is as good as mine!

Hey…here’s an idea: Reveal WHOEVER as Deimos’s killer…and QUICKLY!!!!! I mean…why air YET ANOTHER long, drawn-out and EVEN MORE LAME murder trial?!?!?

Just saying……….

All I know for certain is how laugh out loud and pretty damn embarrassing it was to watch Hope still in the throes of “libidozone” or ecstasy. Get a clue Rafe. MOVE on. Please. I don’t know. wanting to give Ron carlivati benefit of doubt. Oh forget it Kristian Alfonso is Ken Corday pet. So sorry galen Gerring

Ahhh, Patrick. Sooo glad we still agree on the subject of Hope and Rafe.
What a lost cause!!!! Sorry for both Galen and Rafe, who loves kids….
Hope’s factory is closed!! Get a clue is right!!!!!

So glad you mentioned the David Hayward flashback…first thing I thought of when I saw this SL.

I started thinking this is where Nicole bids us adios. I don’t want to think she killed Deimos but I know she is leaving the show very soon so this could be the way she goes off the canvas although a little messed up if it goes that way.

Might he play Dr. Haywood again soon?

There are ‘rumors’ that he (Vincent) is heading for General Hospital and I suspect he will play Dr. David Hayward, formerly from Pine Valley Hospital. This gives one reason to think that since ABC has re-gained the character rights from both All My Children and One Life to Live that it is possible that there may be character cross-overs towards General Hospital. This was ABC’s original intention (my opinion) when Prospect Park leased the rights to both AMC and OLTL which as most soap fans know caused quite a bit of controversy as to just “how” characters could be utilized. Not meaning to go ‘off topic’ here, but there are also ‘rumors’ that NETFLIX or Hulu or Amazon may launch a new inception of the two iconic soaps.

I like it, Jake Martin. I hope so. Looove Vincent.
Is this your real name, or are you Tad’s brother? Just joshin’ with you. LOL.

Who killed Deimos? The writers.

That’s the truth. I loved to watch Vincent on the show when he first arrived . I wish that he could have stayed until Ron arrived . I don’t want to put too much on Ron’s shoulders ; just do the best that you can , Ron!

Mo…EXACTLY!!!!! Oh…as far as I’m concerned, those IDIOT WRITERS at DOOL DEGRADED AND TRASHED Vincent Irizarry’s wonderful acting abilities FROM BEGINNING TO END!!!!! STUPID AND CLUELESS WRITERS!!!!!

Take care, Mo.

Short and to the point, Jay. Thst’s why I love your posts….and also, entertaining, my friend.

Carlivati’s episodes will be airng in two weeks. I’m sure he’ll end this stupid murder mystery right away so he can take the show in a new direction, thank God.

I want Ron to do for Days what Sussman and Young are doing for Young and Restless.

huh?
you mean fall flat after a lot of hype?
late nit infomercials are more exciting than y n r these days
sussman s return has been a serious dissapointment so no , i hope ron delivers alot more than sussmans snail pace storytelling. dont make me laugh. devon and mariah, noah and tessa, hilary and jordan, sharon and scott, jack and his hated exstep mom, ash and ravi, nick and his deceased bros wife????….wow…rivetting

Sonny, implicated by his new mobster appearance. Coffee shop/”club” owner one day, slicked back hair, gun totting “suit” the next. I can’t help but laugh every time I see this ridiculousness on my screen.

I should have added, the killer will be some “throw away” character, not a major character. Someone above mentioned Xander-that makes sense, I think.

Hey dmr, maybe DOOL’s “Sonny” watches his GH namesake???? That would explain where he gets his inspiration for his newfangled wannabee gangster get-up/persona.

Shay, I watched a little of today’s episode while at home for lunch. Again, I had to laugh at Sonny attempting to be a thug and hard a$$. He was attempting to stand-up to Brady, reminding him who was boss. I was rolling my eyes and laughing. Sonny, who up until not that long ago, was wearing flannel print shirts and tending bar at his “club.” Now, he’s trying to tell Brady how to do his job. Little boy playing dress-up in his daddy’s suit. You are right, I think his plane may have made a pit-stop in Port Charles, lol.

Oh, my, Shay!!…..the black sea divides Sonny Kiriakis from Sonny Corinthos.
Sonny K’ heart is not black….that is the main difference between the two. While dmr’s description of Sonny ( of late) is dead on, he is easy on the eye and likable.
Perhaps, it’s just moi?
The writers are doing little Sonny a disservice. I like the ‘flannel shirts’ on him. LOL.
perfect visuals, dmr. LOL. Love your post.

Oh, CeeCee, I was simply jesting since I read dmr’s highly-amusing description of “Little Sonny’s” sudden affection for mobwear! It has been a repeated theme of their posts here, and I couldn’t help but be struck by not just the basic physical/circumstantial similarities of these two characters as they were mentioned, but I also suggested that perhaps “Little Sonny’s” mom had a layover in Port Charles and briefly encountered “Big Sonny’s” “Little Sonny,” if you know what I mean! (I’m trying to put that delicately, since the last time I broached the subject, it didn’t materialize online…LOL.) Of course, this was just a bunch of mindless and fantastical supposition about FICTIONAL characters in two distinctly different soap towns…but it was sorta fun, especially given how much we enjoy ribbing the Port Charles’ version and his inimitable style which seems to be spreading exponentially across the soap opera universe!!!

Celia and Shay, too funny! I just can’t stand the lazy writing, and I see it on all of the shows. Be creative! Be spontaneous! Be exciting! Except, most of the writing falls flat, IMO, unlike the “good ol’ days” of lunchtime, daytime TV.

PS.
Shay and dmr,
You know who I miss? Ces…..have not seen her/ him on any site, lately.
Ces had me in tears laughing when we would go back and forth about John Black and Marlena….” Hey Doc….” LOL.
Where are you, Ces??

That should read ( overstatement).

There is sn entire post preceding the “PS” one, Shay & dmr. See what I mean???? LOL….I take it with a grain of salt.
Sometimes one wonders who decides what to print? Amazing!! ….when a certain someone gets away with calling other posters every name under the vast, blue AMERICAN sun….lest we forget, this won’t be printed either. Where were the watchdogs, then?? We are in the minority, guys….hostile waters. LOL.
Double standard?

Amen to that notion, dmr!!! It just goes to show when the soaps don’t entertain and satisfy us with their homegrown creative efforts, we’ll go about imagining our own versions of their “fictional realities,” even if it requires cross-pollination of two very different species of soap animals! LOL…..

@CeeCee….It’s true….Ces is an absolute hoot! I miss not just their humorous comments, but a lot of other truly nice and fun people who we’ve encountered here through the years who just don’t seem to want to visit here much anymore…if at all! I guess they have just tired of the constant nonsense perpetrated by certain posters who feel the need to monopolize these threads with tedious post after tedious post of their personal/political agendas. It’s really quite sad, because there was once such a vibrant, friendly and welcoming, almost-party-like atmosphere to this website where good times were had by all but those few reliably sour malcontents…who unfortunately have stuck around to continue to spread more of their own patented style of misery!!!! Must be some life to be perpetually offended by every little thing, huh?

I love a murder mystery but soaps truly fail at writing a good one. Instead of whodunit intrigue we get everyone in sequence being arrested and then cleared. By the time they get to the reveal so much time has past that no one cares other then the story is FINALLY OVER!

That said it’s clearly Nicole since the actress is leaving.

@Damien.
Hey, Damien….I echo your words. I am sooo turned off by the exaggerated ‘interfamily” hook-ups and marriages on Y&R. It has become disgusting. Each has savored the other’s brother, sister, child, parents…… the worst? Victor and Sharon. Yuck!!
Adam’s return will ‘rampage’ Nick’s cozy cuddling with Chelsea.
So, yeah….Ron needs to do a one-eighty in weeding out ‘unwanted’ storylines, which have brought this, once, brillian soap to a low standard.

my theory is whoever has the amulet killed him and that person was hired for it and also hired to pass the blame to many people to create a conspiracy to keep people guessing

DAYS Alum Tanner Stine to Appear in ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ Starring Nicholas Chavez

Another face familiar to daytime fans has already boarded Ryan Murphy’s limited series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story which stars General Hospital favorite, Nicholas Chavez (Spencer Cassadine) in the role of Lyle.

Tanner Stine who played Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve’s (Stephen Nichols) son, Joey Johnson on Days of our Lives will also appear in the series.

In ‘Monsters’, look for Stine to portray the role of Perry Berman, who was Lyle and Erik’s friend and former tennis coach. In the story, Perry found himself at the epicenter of the murder mystery when he had accepted a phone call from Lyle shortly before the brutal murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez.

Other previously announced castings included: Cooper Koch (who plays Erik), Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as parents Jose and Kitty Menendez, Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne, Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson, and Leslie Grossman as Judalon Smyth.

In the series, the two wealthy brothers stand trial for shooting their parents in Beverly Hills, amid claims of self-defense after years of abuse, while prosecutors alleged that greed was the motives for the killing. Lyle and Erik Menendez have been behind bars in California for more than three decades for the 1989 killing of their parents.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story will debut later in 2024 on Netflix.
