Okay so is this history repeating itself or what?

Just read on another board Jason47’s filming dates and characters for Valentine’s day (or close to it). In it they call for Rafe and Rafe 2. On the days when Rafe is on the scene is the DiMera basement. When Rafe 2 is on the scene is Rafe’s apartment or someplace. So annoyed by this speculation I cannot remember, LOL. But the speculation is that Stefano captures Rafe (perhaps after his "accident") and replaces him with a double. Now just let me ask, the scene at Christmas with the decorations Rafe made that reminded everyone of a tree that Roman had done for Marlena, now this speculation that Rafe is being hidden away and a replacement Rafe in his place. Can these writers PLEASE come up with something original. I get it, you’re trying to transform Rafe and Sami into Roman and Marlena but PUHLEEZE, do it in a better way.

Now as I said this is just specualtion at Daytime Royalty but it certainly sounds possible. And I just had to rant about it.
