This may sound crazy but I think it’s Lexie that shoots Stefano! Now in a way, it can be Celeste! My money is on Lexie!

I agree with Stephanie, with one reservation. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Days. I have watched this show for more years than I care to admit to. I have remained loyal through the many ups and downs in the Salem writing department. During these difficult soap times, it is vital that soaps remain compelling, and find new ways to attain relevance. Days’ writers really need to stop re-treading old story lines that worked ages ago, but are no longer interesting- even to long time viewers. With that in mind, it would be pertinent to finally kill off Stefano, and allow the writers to explore new avenues. However, if and only IF the writers could combine the “attempted murder” of Stefano with an emotional, authentic, compelling, riveting storyline that once and for all truly explains Stefano’s obsession with the Brady’s- well then and only then would I suggest that Stefano stick around for the sake of story. Corday and company tried, about ten years ago, to explore this territory. (Something about a family history with Shaun Brady…..snore, snore, snore) The previous attempt was half-hearted, and like most stories in Salem that offer a unique perspective ( a la Will’s once interesting, but now “precious”- translate- water downed/”safe” coming out plot line) was quickly aborted without any kind of an emotional payoff whatsoever.
There is so much rich history in my favorite show. So many squandered opportunities to bring in viewers with rich emotional stories…(ex: Why not keep Carrie on the show and have her explore latent day motherhood. Austin’s emotional despair is actually interesting- why not keep them and use them properly? Why did Sammy have to give in to “accepting” Will so quickly? It would have been dramatically viable to have Sammy as a homophobic voice in Salem, who refuses to accept her son. Not politically correct, but reflective of real life issues- and therefore might bring in viewers who strong points of view. Why not allow Deidre Hall a storyline that befits her emotional range and beauty?? She is still marvelous to watch- at her age- why not give her something to do besides hang on to John (sorry, but he is crusty and boring- Use her, ditch him) Also- why oh why have they decided to “kill off” Lexie in such a fake, unbelievable manner. I love Rene Jones, and will miss her. They should have written a dramatically interesting exit story for her. Perhaps a ‘kidnapping’ story involving Theo. Maybe an affair with Daniel. Something. Anything but what they came up with. I am sorry, but “Lexie’s death” is PREDICTABLE, boring, and deeply insulting. A brain tumor? Really? She looks like she’s about skip off to a high society event. Every once in awhile she has a “headache”. The storyline is just deeply insulting, and not at all respectful of the actress that has been a pivotal part of the show for decades. While I’m at it, please Lexie, if you must go, please take that new found brother with you. We don’t have air time to waste- this guy is just not a soap actor.)
Whatever they do with Stefano, Days’ writers need to sharpen their pencils, ignite their imaginations and write some dam good story! That dam sand in the hourglass isn’t going to trickle down forever! Save our show and start writing something compelling!!!
Sorry, I know the question was about Stefano, but I have some strong ideas about my favorite show- I want Salem to see its 50th anniversary and beyond! As it is, Tom and Alice are squirming in their Horton Town Square graves wondering what the hell is going on in their once beloved hometown.

With Molly Burnett leaving in June, my best guess is that Melanie is the shooter.

I love Stefano he makes the show. Please don’t let him die and EJ should be Stefano son. The one thing I don’t like is Carrie & Rafe. Carrie makes me sick going with her sister’s husband what’s good about that??? sure doesn’t make her the good one Austin should get rid of her and not shed a tear. I will miss Lexie wish she didn’t have to die, but no-one could take her place. Don’t let her shoot Stefano , she is his daughter let her die being a good person.

Stefano fakes his death. Joe takes a summer vacation. Stefano returns and seeks revenge. Days wouldn’t be Days without Stefano.

Lexie will be the one to pull the trigger!!!

I think it should be the guy that Stephano was going to make the illegal arms deal with and his pose as payback for setting them up with the CIA.

It’s going to be Lexie who will shot Stefino. When she found out what he did to her by keeping her in the celler.

If they kill off stefano then the producers are retards. He makes the show. Without him their is no show. Every time he wasn’t on the show it wasn’t interesting at all. I always root for him and things he does. I love it. He keeps the show interesting

One by one the characters confront Stefano but rationalize why they shouldn’t or can’t bring themselves to shoot him. It seems ridiculous that they don’t see or run into each other. But maybe they do. Will is the only one who displays raw emotions, he’s acting impulsively and not capable of thinking this through rationally. He picks up the gun, shoots, misses and flees. The others lingered closely after leaving and they see Will enter or leave and heard the gun shot. They return to the mansion not because they have second thoughts that they should kill Stefano, but they fear Will has shot Stefano and are looking to protect Will. Marlena, John, Bo, Hope, and Kate would all want to protect Will. Despite everything even EJ is actually quite fond of Will. They find the gun but Stefano is no worse for wear. It is either Lexie who shoots Stefano because of all the harm he has done to her friends and she has learned Stefano is responsible for her Cancer, or Ian because he was in this episode but served no real purpose. In addition, Ian has some ties to the DiMeras as his walking stick has the Phoenix on it.

well i think WILL or EJ did it but maybe i wrong but you all r right i think in a few years they will bring him back.But I LOVE DAYS.I have been watching this soap for 20 years and i love it i wish that the would bring SHAWN&BELL back.

DAYS IS MY FAVORITE…HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. I LOVE THE CHARACTERS…ESPECIALLY RAFE. I HOPE IT WILL BE ON FOR A LONG TIME.

ANNA DIMERA DID IT! SHE RECOVERED FROM HER COMA AND SOUGHT REVENGE ON STEFANO FOR TONY’S DEATH!

why would lexie kill her own father she loved her father let’s leave lexie out of this as a suspect she’s dead leave lexie be as a good person and not as a killer since peter reckell is leaving days of our lives why don’t we name bo as stephano’s killer that makes more sense

rafe is a schumock and has no scruples rafe could have fathered carrie’s baby and that is the only baby he fathered and not nicole’s nicole is only using him and does not know it rafe doesn’t know when he’s being played

i bet my money on caroline as stephano’s shooter she always vocally expressed her hatered to stephano for so many years does anybody want to take this bet

I hope Stefano is not really dead. With all the cuts made on Days, I am getting sick of the Ups and Downs on it. I love the DeMearas and especially Stefano. Does it have anything to do with the actress who plays Billie calling him a bad actor on a talk show? I wish they’d get rid of her character. She’s boring and worn out for the role. Stefano and EJ will always be young and vibrant. Bring Tony back too.

As much as I love to watch Stefano…lets be realistic, the man is 83 yrs of age. Time he retired to enjoy the rest of his days with his family & relaxing. I thank him for many years of enjoyment and wish him well.
