This ‘Days of our Lives’ Double Death Plot Leaves Fans Fuming
‘Days of Our Lives’ resurrected Lexie Carver after 15 years, but the miracle drug keeping her alive is failing, leaving fans furious over the short-lived storyline.
Days of our Lives made a daring decision when it chose to resurrect a character we had seen die on screen 15 years ago. Lexie Carver was a character that fans never thought they would see again, but it turned out that Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) had kept his daughter on ice in the hopes that Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) would one day bring her back to life, which is just what he did.
Lexie’s Second Chance at Life Won’t Last Long
Lexie’s (Nikki Crawford) resurrection had a profound effect on Salem and her family. Abe (James Reynolds) had taken years to get over his wife’s death and move on, but he finally married Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) in 2022, and they created a blended family. When Dr. Rolf’s miracle drug worked and Lexie was revived, she wanted her family back the way it was, so Paulina moved out, Lexie moved in, and she and Abe have been awkwardly trying to make things work.
But Lexie is not telling Abe that Dr. Rolf’s drug might not be the game-changer for the world that he had wanted. It turns out that the fictional Versavix does not last very long and Lexie is slowly dying once again. Since her first breath was due to a brain tumor, her neurological functions are going first, which means it is only a matter of time before Abe has to mourn his wife again. It’s also a matter of time until fans have to mourn the character created by Renee Jones again.
“This was is a very dumb storyline,” one Reddit user said. “So, they bring Lexi back only to have her die all over again in six months. So everyone has to go through the pain of losing her all over again, especially.”
Others feel like there was no point to this plot, saying, “All the heartache for nothing. Especially because they don’t do much with Abe to begin with so this seems like just a waste of time.”
For some, the plot just leaves a bad taste in their mouths, with one viewer tweeting, “Bringing Lexie back to kill her again was just cruel.
Finally, many fans feel the entire story arc has been pointless, writing, “If I knew what they were going do with her, she should’ve stayed dead. Her return wasn’t executed well.”
