Is the death?

 something about swallowing a fatal pill.  So what’s going to take John off-screen until after the first of the year?

 and from those profiles a good plan was devised to bring the villains to them instead of trying to find them, and it worked.  The surprise for me was that the audience did not know that Chad brought Andre "in" on it, which was supposed to provide shock value to the fans.  No one still knows how Andre set Clyde up, meaning how did he even know where Clyde would be.  Who did Andre talk to before he left to find Chad in that alley or wherever it was supposed to be?  But, Clyde was right when he warned Chad on his way out not to trust Andre, and he is going to be right about that.  I want to see Clyde kill Aiden.  He’s the one who was meant for Clyde’s bullet, not Abe.  Aiden is the snake in all this mess here.  I hope Rafe gets his own type of justice on Aiden at some point, but it’s only a matter of time before I’m sure Hope, Rafe and perhaps even Roman will probably wind up having their day in court, but not because I think Stefano DiMera didn’t deserve to die.  He did!  He practically forced Hope to kill him, so she did, and frankly, I’m glad she did.  Unfortunaately, there were no witnesses to testify how he was taunting her, and she was, IMO, temporarily insane.  She’s going to pay the price for it though.  BUT, Hope Brady is an icon on DOOL. She’s not going anywhere.
