DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Is Nick Fallon Really Dead? Or, Is He Rolling Down The River?

Oh what a tale the writers of Days of our Lives have come up with to keep us coming back for more! At the epicenter of this is … Alison Sweeney’s Sami, Lauren Koslow’s Kate, and Camila Banus’ Gabi!

On Wednesday’s episode, before all new episodes return on Monday of the long running NBC soap opera, the three ladies have now covered up a crime and literally sent Nick Fallon (Blake Berris) down the river!  And their efforts to cover up the “murder” of this troubled young man have already gone awry!  Sami has lost one of her earrings at the crime scene!  Nick Fallon’s initials from his backpack are stuck in the woods, and that is just for starters!

But wouldn’t this story be all the more delicious, if Nick Fallon actually survives the waters and watches from the sidelines as these three women, responsible for his death, suffer all sorts of payback at his crafty, yet by now, frozen hands?

So, we ask you, do you think Nick Fallon is really still alive?  Do you think DAYS killed him off and he will just appear perhaps now as a ghost?  Or, do you really believe we have seen the last of Nick for good?  Watch next week’s promo from NBC as Sami, Kate, and Gabi are going to have to continue their cover-up in their “murder” of Nick, and then weigh-in!

No Days today? Whaaaat????

Unless he managed to grab onto something, he’s got to be dead. The current was rough and would pull him under. That said, I can see Nick surfacing and blackmailing them, but I don’t see how far that could go as he doesn’t have proof. Sami’s earring in the water. So what? It could have gotten there whenever and unless it’s a OOAK, could be someone else’s.

I can’t stand Nick and would love for him to be dead, but I have this awful feeling that he’s still alive. And let’s face it, even if they find the body & declare him dead, he can still come back. After all, Jack died & they donated his organs and he still survived. As Rolf said about his own death, it “didn’t take”. LOL

Since there has been no press about Blake Berris leaving Days, Nick is probably not dead. It will be interesting to see how this story will play out. Since Stefano is turning over a new leaf and EJ never became “Stefano Jr.” (in spite of the evil deeds he has done, he is still no Stefano), maybe Nick will be the new head villain on Days and think up ways to torture Kate, Sami and Gabi (while she is still in Salem). At the very least, I smell BLACKMAIL!

I love Blake Berris! I hated what they did to his character last time on Days. And, I was hoping his revelation of what happened to him in prison would redeem his character, but then they had him plotting again. I don’t want him to be dead. Days ruined Chloe and they are ruining Nick again.

I think days ruined the character of Nick and also Chloe. I wish they would bring back some of the ones such as the children of John and Marlena and Kate’s son. It was better when they were on there. For those who did not watch the chemistry of Sami and EJ when he first cam on, you are really missing out!! It was the best that I can remember, even better than Bo and Hope! I also loved John and Marlena. Let Kate get back with Stefano!!! Interesting!! I liked the other Will much better than this one and I do not like the fact that they will be marrying on the show. Days is getting too liberal and I don’t mean to offend anyone. Half of the characters are never on there, such as Victor! Let it go back to what itused to be!! Please or I will quit it!! No more soaps for me if they continue as they are now!

Dead or alive…i want Nick to come back and make some ‘ghostly’ appearances to terrorize Gabi, Sami and Kate…if dead Gabi will go to prison for his murder…Sami and Kate will get a month in jail where they share a cell with a big tattoed lady name Bertha, 2 years probation and community service together cleaning bed pans at the hospital for tampering with evidence! Or Nicks alive, Gabi will have a breakdown and sent to a mental hospital to explain her abscene while Nick blackmails both Kate and Sami after terrorizing them 4 months while they thought he was dead!!!

You really have some great ideas..Why are u NOT part of their writing team? LOL
Nick needs to be on the canvas for great storytelling much like Mr. jimh suggested.

i know nick is evil but i love the character & i hope he is not dead – i would love to see him reak havoc in all three of their lives…………the weakest link is obviously gabi & the smartest of the three is kate because she is sending texts from nicks phone plus she is going to have his things picked up in ny that he shipped there – she learned a lot being married to the phoenix…………..lol
blake berris is doing a phenomenal job portraying nick!

I am surprise that the producers and writers are putting Samantha Brady in another potential position to be sent to prison so soon after her murder storyline. I am sorry but it looks like it’s time for Nick to leave; he seem to revert back to the person he was when drugs were involved.

why do I have a feeling that if he is alive Maggie will be able to forgive Nick for what he did, that cause the ladies to try to get rid of his body; yet she can’t forgive Victor for doing what was necessary to protect Brady.

Ah good ole Maggie!! Please have Victor and his wit in more scenes. We really enjoy his sense of humor

I would be totally happy if Nick is dead. Only way I’d be happier is if he had taken Gabi with him!

Is there any part of you that would miss loving to hate Nick? Does the character hit too close to home? Maybe you don’t love to hate. Maybe it’s the hatred by Nick that you hate. I’m just trying to understand. For the record, I love to hate Nick! I can’t stand Nick, but I love the character! Please reply and try not to hold back.

I don’t “love to hate” Nick. I just hate him. His character is annoying, and the actor is not all up to snuff. I just think his ego is disgusting and his homophobic ways are really off-setting. And any man attempting to rape a woman is dead in my book. He’s a disgusting character. And he needs to take Gabi with him.

Thank you for the sincere reply. I would hope that there is room on DAYS for the subject of homophobia, with or without Nick. If homophobes see how wrong homophobia is, then everybody benifits. I would love to see Wilson struggle in retaining custody of Ariana. If things are properly written, there will be less homophobia. Something good can come from something bad.

I promise not to go on and on about the subject. You can choose to have the last word and I will not reply. Thanks again!

So let me understand, you find him absolutely disgusting for attempting/planning to rape Gabi, but you want him to leave the show and take her with him…take her where to do what, exactly?

VR, I want him to take her because I don’t like the character of Gabi, either. I just want them both off the canvas. That’s all.

Hi Scott, I’m sorry to bother you, but somebody wishing to reply to your comment, contacted me instead. If you would look at the thread, the person is VR. It’s up to you. Later.

He’s alive. He will come back to get revenge on Sami, Kate and Gabi. I mean this is DAYS — it would be more of a shocker if he did actually drown in that river. Maybe Kristen still wandering around the woods out there saves him and the two of them team up to come up with ultimate destroy everyone in Salem plan.
But if a body ever did surface and it was Nick, eventually it would be proven he died in some other way and Sami and Kate will be saved from prison once again.

In a perfect Days world I would love to see Nick get saved by Vivian & Ivan. They nurse him back to health, & take Nick under their wing, & use Nick to get revenge on Kate & Sami by Nick blackmailing them. But, Louise was not happy w/ Days for the way they treated her. I love the way Sami & Kate are working together, now if we could just get Vivian back. Days is loosing to many good actors, lets bring some back.

it’s a treat just reading your post.

Vivian and Ivan… were such natural comedic timing… a winsome twosome.. who’s machinations… throughout Salem… always provided thee respite… from all the good vs evil…

Vivian and Ivan would cast… reel… fish… and lie in wait… for the fallout, around them…. and have the last laugh…

what a treat it was… to savor these two

I gasped so loudwhen he grabbed Sami I bet he is alive what a great story l love Days!!

AND… it was so well shot… (filmed) wasn’t it…

to watch those three ladies… shocked, screaming, and struggling…

was so well done…

DAYS has been top notch top draw top echelon… their production

The writing has been stellar – riveting – and a show unto thyself

i say this cause… if you watch more than 1… like I watch DAYS and GH… it just seems easier to be more animated, if you will, about GH more than DAYS… but… it’s DAYS that , for me, provides far more intrigue.

there’s much more context and layers in Salem

He is a legacy character and a Horton with mental issues they woul d ve crazy to get rid him.

I am sure DOOL will not let this super talented young actor slip out of their hands, unless his contract is up and he wants to leave, and that is not the case..There is more story to tell with his character and I see him becoming an atypical antihero and hopefully he will become a fan favorite..The show needs to keep their young talented cast intact, especially after Chandler departure…I am hook to this show for almost 2 years now.

Knowing days they will bring nick back… They can’t kill anybody off without bringing them back… I think nick got what he deserved & should not be brought back, but knowing them he will be back causing more trouble…

Blake Berris is one of the best actors on daytime; hope we don’t lose this actor on account of economic and business issues.

Seriously? Days brought back this charming multi . performer….to be played as. Non descript psycho? Um..why? He is a legacy character. These writers are so hit or miss.

He’s alive. One day he’ll pop up outta nowhere. This has nothing to do with Nick, but WHY CAN’T TONY COME BACK? 🙁

I don’t think he is dead, but on the other hand, the character of Gabi is leaving the canvas and she is his connection to the show, so he could be done.

What I’m sick of is the stereotypical “helpless, hysterical, crying woman” syndrome. Real women in 2013 don’t act like that.

Give me a break! In your comments about Chandler Massey, I picture you as a “helpless, hysterical, crying” person. There were a lot of scenes involving Nicks “death” that contained plenty of composure. Are you watching more than clips or is it to hard to see through your tears? LMFAO!!! It’s all good!

Well I am a real woman in 2013 and if I was lugging a dead body that suddenly came back to life, I would get pretty hysterical, and imagine many guys would too. Helpless? Gabi knocked her rapist on the head with a rock. Sami and Kate knew how to get rid of the body without flinching– and managed to drag it to the river and dumped him in the river without any male help at all. As for crying, it is stress reliever. If my ex husband tried to rape me and then I thought I killed him, I think a few tears would be in order and Gabi was the only one crying. If they were reacting to a mouse I might agree with you, but within the context of the scene every emotion out there was justified.

I don’t believe Nick is dead. I believe that he will kidnap Gabby & baby, & through this
ordeal will take his own life, or be killed during the kidnapping.

I think teaming up Kate and Sami and Gabi was hilarious as the two older characters who are “veterans” at this stuff choreographed the disposal.

You hated his character then felt sorry for him then hated him again!!!!!! Want to see him come back ghost or real. Good story line keep it juicy, love Days watching for 20 years

Only the good die young, so they say. Nick will be around forever then. Just wait and see…he’ll come back to haunt everyone in Salem.

In the grand tradition of Soap Opera drama, I submit that he will surface in an undisclosed medical facility, or be held hostage in the creepy home of someone who found him washed ashore. And somehow wacko Kristen will surface there, too. Maybe they’ll team up to break out. Now there’s a story we don’t care about.
It’ll take him a couple of months (a few days in soap-opera time) to remember who he is, mind you. And then he’ll get them. Ooooh he’ll get them alright.

I am with you on your ideas. I had thought shortly after they dumped him in that since his body was not found then there is the great opening to bring him back. But a better story then just bringing him back as he was which also would much more advantage to story creativity is for him not to remember who he is or what happened to him . And maybe even have some life adventures out of Salem and actually be a good guy for at least a while. Then he returns as a good guy and is confused with peoples reactions or something brings it all back and turns him back evil and he returns to get revenge. There are options either way . I LOVE teaming Kate and Sami together their so funny & fun I would actually enjoy hanging out with those two. And I Really enjoy that EJ is sticking with Sami . I hope that is permanent. Their Great together.

Oh my god, Sami is getting back into another murder far too soon. Let her and EJ get married first.

Save Nick so there is no murder!

Just like Stephano he will rise from the ashes as the writers have done in the past. Makes for a great story line.

I believe that Nick is alive and, the old man is end on the plotting of making Kate, Sami, Gabi and now Sonny very nervous. I love Nick I thought that the writers of days would help his character redeem himself after prison. Nick deserves happiness in his life. I also believe that he will be Christmas miracle for Sami, Kate, Gabi and Sonny.

I wonder if he will show up at the Horton Tree trimming?

Blake Berris is one of DAYS’ best actors ever.Right up there with Jamie Lyn Bauer,Thao Penghliss and Deborah Adair.However he has made a few movies and may continue that career,but I hope he is alive and comes back to terrorize those wicked characters Kate and Sami.

There has been no body recovered – very possible he is still alive.

I think nick she be brought back so they find out that he was the one who set up the bogas modeling Job., because did not actually kill him….when nick hit the water he woke up an Sammy and kate pushed him

I definitely think Nick’s still alive. Did you guys notice how one of the angles from today’s days, when Will is talking to that crazy old man in the woods, looked as if someone was watching them? There’s been a few angles like that since Nick “Died”. When Sonny and Gabi were in the town square right before Will found out about what the girls did, there was someone watching them from behind a tree. At first I was like, oh it was Will. But if you think back on it, it appeared that Will was already in the Closet when they got home, waiting for them so he could find out what the hell they have been up too. Obviously I could be wrong, and it could’ve been Will following them home, but it’s just an idea. I think Nick is alive and watching them, and waiting for a good time to strike. He’s either going to try and cut Will and or Sonny out of the picture, or just Kidnap Gabi and Ari. I may be rambling, sorry about that, I’m a talkative fifteen year old…haha. Anyways, DOOL Is amazing, been watching it since I was six.

Of course Nick is alive! Someone is lurking around town and it’s probably him!

I think he forgot his memory and became like Kristen so he’s probably still alive I hope

we see Nick Fallon on the BUD commercial (I am sure he will star in the BUD commercial on the Super Bowl – only because DOOL is big).
I think Nick is NOT dead. too many people know about this. too many people would be accused in this “death”. I think he will show up for Gabi’s baby’s christening and shock the heck out of EVERYONE. writers your story lines are NOT as good as they used to be…. You survived the movement from the old people to the young people but DOOL story lines must get better… right now there are too many dangling. Clean up your act!

nick is not dead why would they still use blake barris as nick still roaming around salem alive he could be in hiding it couldhave been nick texting abby on her text

I think Nick is alive, and the old man in the woods is the one who saved him. This man knows something; too many episodes of him just appearing to torment Kate, Sami and Gabby. Also, Kate and Sami are too major stars in Days; plus, they are too comical about Nick’s death. Kate, Sami, Will, Sonny and EJ can’t all go the jail. If so, the show would have to shut down! Can’t wait for this storyline to end.

CAN YOU IMAGINE ALL OF THOSE MAIN CHARACTERS GOING TO JAIL. NO, NO NICK IS ALIVE AND THE OLD BIRD WATCHER IS HELPING HIM. I ACTUALLY LIKE NICK AND IT SEEMS HE WAS TRYING TO TURN HIS LIFE AROUND BUT THERE WERE CERTAIN PEOPLE THAT JUST WOULDN’T GIVE HIM A BREAK.

Ok so I have an idea of,what is going to happen. I think Nick is alive and hiding out somewhere in the woods. I think he will get back at everyone who knew anything. Sami and EJ: I think it was Nick taking pictures of Ej and Abigail kissing and he is going to expose home, therefore hurting sami and ej. Kate: I think he is going to do something that will hurt her business, therefore hurting her. Gabi, Will, Sonny: I think Nick still wants Gabi and will blackmail her with either going with him or he turn her into the police and she go to jail, therefore hurting everyone in the process cause she will take the baby

I knew Nick wasn’t dead, part of me was hoping he was. I loved everyone’s look when he walked into the church, priceless. Maybe he wont remember anything! Wouldn’t that be a great twist. And that Julie, I don’t like her character.

I agree with everything you say. It is very frustrating, though, knowing that Gabi Was almost raped, and Nick will get away with it.

NICK IS COMING BACK TO GET HIS REVENGE AS A GHOST & I CANT WAIT

NICK WILL BE BACk i like nick. He was trying. To get his life together & some thing like this happen. EJ. Send someone to. Shoot nick cause he didnt want sami to find out about his affair & the picture well EJ your secret will come out

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast

After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.

Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.

The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.

The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.

In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.

Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”

As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”

The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

on

By

The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!

After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.

So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF

The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.

Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA

Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP

Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.

Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.

As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.

Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.

Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).

Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”

Jacob Martinez appeared on Friday on the Days of our Lives Instagram account announcing his casting. You can check it out below. Deadline was the first to report the casting switch.
