Abe’s life on Days of Our Lives has turned into an emotional wreck. Lexie came back from the dead. Paulina stepped aside. And Abe got the impossible gift of his first wife back. Now the miracle may already be expiring.
Key Takeaways
- Lexie’s return from the dead upended Abe and Paulina’s marriage.
- Paulina stepped aside so Abe could reunite with Lexie.
- Abe may still be legally and emotionally tied to Lexie.
- The Versavix may be failing, putting Lexie’s life in danger again.
- If Lexie dies again, Abe could be left grieving her twice and feeling guilty over Paulina.
Lexie’s Miracle Has a Clock
Lexie’s (Nikki Crawford) return was never going to be simple. EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) discovered Stefano (Joe Mascolo) had Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) freeze her in a person pod back in 2012, to buy time for a cure to her brain tumor. That secret did not stay quiet.
Paulina (Jackée Harry) stumbled too close to the truth while investigating local power problems, and EJ used the revived Lexie as leverage. Paulina tried to keep the secret to protect her marriage, but Lexie eventually stepped back into Salem life with no idea how much time had passed. She woke up to a grown Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) and Abe (James Reynolds) married to another woman.
Lexie was the woman he believed he buried, the great love he mourned, and possibly still his wife in the eyes of the law. Paulina was his present, but Lexie came roaring back as his unfinished past.

Paulina May Be Out in the Cold
Paulina saw the writing on the wall before Abe could fully say it. Rather than force him to choose between the woman he lost and the wife standing in front of him, she packed her bags and gave him permission to go back to Lexie. That was generous and painful.
Now the Versavix may be failing, which would make this whole mess even crueler. If Lexie dies again, Abe will not just lose her twice. He will have to deal with the fact that he let Paulina walk away.
Paulina may love Abe, but being someone’s second choice after grief blows up the house is a hard sell. If Lexie gives Abe and Paulina her blessing before dying again, it may help. But it will not erase the damage. Abe could end up with his heart broken, his marriage broken, and no clean road back to the woman who tried to love him enough to leave.
