On the January 26 episode of Days of our Lives, Gwen was shocked to learn that Dr. Rolf had succeeded in bringing rats back from the dead. We’re not sure why she was so surprised. Hasn’t he been bringing folks back from the dead for decades? But maybe those people were only merely dead, not merely most sincerely dead? In any case, Rolf said he’s almost ready to begin human trials. Which prompts us to ask: Whom should he revive first… and next?
Key Takeaways
- Rolf is ready to play God.
- There are obvious people he’d want to bring back.
- There are also less obvious people.
It’s Alive!
Rolf (Richard Wharton) is ready to move from reviving dead rats to reviving dead people. The assumption is he will start with the love of his life, Stefano (Joseph Mascolo), then go for other freeze-dried DiMeras, who might include Stefan (Brandon Barash), Jake (also Brandon Barash), Megan (Miranda Wilson), and/or Lexie?
And, of course, there he was lurking when Peter (Dan Gauthier) “died.” So lots to choose from.
Secondary Purposes
But what if this isn’t about DiMeras he could bring back? After all, the more DiMeras alive, the less DiMera money there is to go around.
What if the people Rolf really wants to bring back are those who can further DiMera interests? For instance, what could EJ and Gwen (Emily O’Brien) get out of Chad (Billy Flynn) if they dangled the possibility of returning Abigail (Marci Miller) to him and the kids?
Beloved
Of course, the people the fans would really like back include Doug (Bill Hayes) and John (Drake Hogestyn). But considering that both actors have passed away, it would be disrespectful to their memories to recast. The same goes for Stefano, given Mascolo’s death. In that case, we should probably stick to those who weren’t as beloved but also not offensive.
