On the Thursday, February 5 episode of Days of our Lives, Rafe told Gabi they know for sure that the body buried in Stefan’s grave is, indeed, Gabi’s ex-husband. They did an autopsy and tested the DNA, and it couldn’t possibly be anybody but him. Are we the only ones who see the possible loophole here?
Key Takeaways
- Vivian will do anything to keep Stefan from Gabi.
- Stefan had a twin brother.
- Twin DNA is identical (especially when played by the same actor).
A Mother’s Love
Vivian (Louise Sorel, who made a brief return to DAYS) only met her twin sons once as adults, but she quickly became very, very obsessed with them. She wanted to control every aspect of Stefan’s (Brandon Barash) and Jake’s (also Brandon Barash) lives. And that included their mutual, inexplicable affection for Gabi (Cherie Jimenez, who feels Gabi is her dream role).
Jake died, so that put the kibosh on him loving any woman more than his doting mama (who didn’t even know he existed until he was in his third decade). But Stefan lived — thanks to getting Jake’s heart in a transplant — and insisted on continuing to be spellbound by Gabi. What choice did Vivian have but to kidnap her precious darling and keep him prisoner? It was for his own good, after all.
Science Project
Rafe (Galen Gering) told Gabi that DNA tests proved the body in Stefan’s Alamanian grave was definitely Stefan. Science doesn’t lie! Ignoring all the notoriously botched DNA tests in Salem and elsewhere, has it crossed this brilliant detective’s mind that the corpse they dug up could be… Jake’s?
After all, Vivian has infinite resources. She’s buried a woman alive in the past. Do you think she’d be above a little grave robbing? Did you check if the body you found had a heart? Because that could be one very good clue that all is not as it seems.
