SOS Message Board: SOS Message Board -> Affairs of the Heart

Nicole is rushed into Salem University Hospital as Mike runs over to find out what is going on
“What happened?”
Marlena
“Some one shot her. Please Mike, save her. I can’t loose my daughter now.”
Mike
“We’ll do everything we can.” He says as he rushes Nicole into the E.R. for surgery to remove the bullet. Tony walks up behind Marlena and wraps his arms around her.
“Don’t worry Marlena. I know we don’t know much about our newly found daughter, but I know enough to know she is a fighter. She’s got Dimera blood in her veins. It’s going to take more than a bullet to take one of us out. You should already know this.”
Marlena
“I guess you’re right. I just want to get the chance to know her.”
“Well you sure aren’t missing anything” They both hear. They turn around and see Sami(Stami)
Marlena
“How dare you? How dare you talk about you’re sister that way? She is fighting for her life in there.”
Stami
“Let the Bitch die. Who cares?”
Tony
“Marlena, I suggest you get this twit together. I will not stand here and hear of such disrespect for my daughter.”
Marlena slaps Sami across the face. To her astonishment, Stami slaps Marlena back.

Episode 1, The Debut
Written by ML Cooks

Jan’s Spears Mansion

Jan walks out onto the patio where Lucas is sitting on a lawn chair, enjoying the starry night.
Lucas
“Where’s Bentley?”
Jan
“I just got him to sleep.” She says also admiring the starry night, sitting down next to Lucas and they begin to cuddle.
Lucas
“Can I be honest with you about something?”
Jan, looking into his eyes
“Of course you can. I don’t want there to be no secrets between us. Lucas you are the love of my life.”
He smiles and kisses her then pulls back and looks into her eyes.
“This is going to sound strange, but Anna has been on my mind.”
Jan, rolling her eyes
“You’re right, it is strange. Why in the hell have you been thinking of crazy Anna?”
Lucas
“It’s what she has been saying. About Nicole. She said Nicole is your enemy.”
Jan
“Please. I barely know Nicole. You have to really ignore Anna’s crazy rubbish.”
Lucas
“No I’m serious Jan. Maybe Anna knows something we don’t.”
Jan
“Like what?”
Lucas
“I say we invite her over and talk with her.”
Jan
“You can’t be serious?”
Lucas
“I am. If Nicole is your enemy, you need to know and find out why. You could be in danger. You know Nicole is dangerous. She tried to kill Victor Kiriakis.”
Jan
“You really want me to do this?”
Lucas
“Do it for the safety of our family.”
Jan
“Fine than, call the whack job up and I’ll make us something to eat.”
Lucas, giving her another peck
“I love you.”
Jan, getting up
“I love you too.”
Lucas, grabbing her arm
“No wait a minute.”
Jan
“Lucas, I have to go cook.”
Lucas, standing up
“That can wait.”
Jan
“What’s the matter? You’re looking serious”
Lucas
“Jan I love you more than words can express. I love being with you and Ben. I thank God everyday for sending you in my life” He pulls out a ring box from his pocket and gets down on one knee. Jan is astounded, as Lucas continues
“Jan Paige Spears, will you do me the honor in becoming Mrs. Lucas Roberts. Will you marry me?”



Back at the Hospital
Tony, looking at Sami
“Don’t you ever let me see you hit your mother again young lady.”
Marlena
“No Tony it’s alright.”
Stami
“You two can just screw yourselves. And I hope Nicole dies!” And with that, she turns around and walks off.
Tony
“She’s out of control.”
Marlena
“Something is off. Something just isn’t right with Samantha. Something in her eyes.”
Before she can continue Anna barges in.
“I heard about Nicole. I am so sorry. Is she ok?”
Marlena
“Don’t be so concerned about my daughter now! If you were really concerned, you would have told Tony and I the truth when you first found out Nicole was our daughter.”
Tony
“Marlena Please, You’re going through a hard time. Let’s grab a a cup of coffee.”
Marlena
“Don’t patronize me Tony Dimera. I am tired of people thinking they can just play with my life.”
Anna
“Marlena, like I’ve said before. I had no ill intention. I wanted to make sure Nicole was your daughter. I have nothing to gain by scheming with this info.”
Marlena
“What do you mean make sure?”
Anna
“I wasn’t sure if Nicole was your daughter. Right before Kristen shot me, I had reason to believe that J-” Before she barely gets Jan’s name out, Mike barges out the E.R. and the focus switches to him.
Marlena
“Mike, Please tell me you have good news.”
Tony
“Will my daughter be ok?”
Mike continues to look at Marlena, Tony and Anna with a worried look.
“Nicole is……

Downtown Salem
It is several days later in Salem. Inside a very large building, the fashion show is just beginning. Models are already starting to walk down the runway as photographers take countless pictures of them. Meanwhile in an office, someone pours themselves a glass of champagne, with Elvis at this person’s side.
Mysterious Person
You know, it really was brilliant to have a fashion show. Seeing so many businesses come here with all of their models…its fabulous.
Elvis
It is, but you seem so interested in Bella Magazine and Alamain. You act like the other businesses are just here for show. And I don’t really see what I could get out of this if its all about Alamain and Titan.
Mysterious Person
You get me not exposing you to the PD. Just follow my lead, dear, and you’ll be fine.
Elvis
Hey, I call the shots! Do you understand? No one can get any power over a DiMera, especially not you!
Mysterious Person
Elvis, you are in my territory now. You can’t play that game with me like you can with everyone else in this town. This is going to be my day, not yours. I’ve spent some time arranging this ever since I got out of your little basement.
Elvis
Fine, fine. But don’t get used to it, and do what you have to do and then I can leave.
Mysterious Person
Oh believe me, I will. I definitely will, and I am going to make sure that this is a day to remember.


Life in Salem
Episode: 253, The Fashion Show
Written by Tara Smith


Inside a dressing room at the fashion show, Jan is speaking to some of Spears Industries models right before they go out on the runway.
Jan
“Now, you’ve got to make yourselves look appealing and excellent out there. If we want to get Spears Industries bought by one of those big bad companies, we have to make the company look good. I want you all to be at your best, this is the most crucial fashion show we’ve ever had. And I’m not kidding.”
All the models nod at Jan as they walk out of the room, and she crosses her arms and sighs slightly. Then suddenly Lucas walks in and kisses her on the cheek.
Lucas
Hey there, thought I’d drop by. Oh and I dropped the baby off at Aunt Maggie’s, I really think they should spend some time together, and so far the baby has spent its most time with you and me.
Jan
You know I was not a big fan of the idea to let him stay with Maggie. She’s just as bad as Julie. But she is Shawn’s family so I’ll let it slide this time.
Lucas
Relax. It will all be fine. Besides, he needed to get out of that mansion.
Jan
I guess you’re right. I just am so tense today, because I need to sell Spears Industries and fast. Its been available for too long and we haven’t had any interested buyers.
Lucas
Well you’ve only been trying to sell it for a couple months, and usually it does take awhile for a company to get sold, especially if you’re trying to get one of the higher companies to buy it.
Jan
Once again you’ve got a point. I guess I just want to get this out of my hair so I can focus on us and mothering my son. And the thing that makes it worse about being here is that Belle’s here, and probably going to be the star of the whole freakin’ thing since she is the new face of Bella Magazine.
Lucas
You think about her too much. Just relax and focus on stuff that actually needs to be focused on.
Jan
Yeah. Here, lets go watch the show.
Jan and Lucas then leave the dressing room, heading out to the stage area…




Salem Trainstation
Down at the local train station, a train pulls to a stop and the doors swing open, and many people begin to bustle in and out. Soon a ripped-clothed and dirty Hope Brady stumbles out of the train, as she looks out onto her hometown and remembers her time in Pasadena with Suga and Sister Patterson.
Hope
I must just keep remembering what Sister Pat told me….I have to face this and get it over with.
Voice
Oh that won’t be hard, Fancy Face!
Hope turns to see Megan Hathway DiMera right beside her, and she slowly backs away from the deranged spoiled woman.
Hope
Megan, how’d you-
Megan
Oh please, you forget my family rules this town! You are finally back from whatever hole you crawled into, and now its time for you to meet your maker.
Hope
I don’t have time for you! I have to get to Bo!
Hope punches Megan in the face and then tries to take off, but Megan grabs her by the hair!!!!




Downtown Salem
Inside another one of the dressing rooms at the fashion show, Stami and Nicole are sitting side by side as they do their make-up.
Nicole
You know, its just so…great that Mom got you a job here.
Stami
Don’t call her “Mom”. She’s not your mother, she never should have been and never will be.
Nicole
Can’t you get over it? I am your Mommy’s new, and best, child. You are acting so childish about this I almost enjoy it.
Stami
Don’t bluff, you KNOW you enjoy it. You get a kick out of torturing me, its all you ever seem to do. You can never find anything better to do with your time. You tried to get Austin to irritate me, then tried to get Eric again, and now this crazy issue.
Nicole
Don’t you EVER say that again! I loved Eric and Austin, and they almost loved me back, but Greta and Carrie screwed that up for me! Life does not revolve all around you, Sami! I barely even think about you anymore.
Stami
Yeah, I guess you are too busy getting looneys to whack your husbands.
Nicole
That was over four years ago, you are just using every little snide comment at me you can find, aren’t you? You’re such a pitiful girl.
Stami
I’m a saint compared to trash like you.




In a small hallway at the other side of the building, Celeste and Valentine stand together, and Valentine has several small tapes in her hands.
Celeste
Dahling, what are we going to do? You said you had something in store, yet you have barely said a word about it!
Valentine
Can’t you be patient? I have half of what we need, I am waiting for the other half to get here.
Celeste
This had better be worth the wait. I am a patient woman, Valentine, but my patience with Vivian has run thin.
Valentine
As has mine, Darrrrrrrling, and I have the perfect way to destroy her today. I have so much dirt on Vivian its sad, and some of it is on these tapes, but there’s one crucial piece that needs to get here soon.
Celeste
I imagine that what you have on those tapes is about her causing all that havoc back in 2006, but I wish you would tell me what this other little piece is.
Valentine
Oh, but that would ruin the fun in the surprise. And trust me, it will be a surprise.




Out on the stage, many models are walking down the runway, and Forrrest and Billie are standing together on the side of the stage. Forrest is holding Billie in his arms and they kiss before pulling back and watching the show again.
Billie
Do you really think we should be kissing each other so much in the middle of a fashion show? I mean shouldn’t we focus on Alamain?
Forrest
Who cares? You just…are hard to resist. But yes, you are right. We’ve got to somehow keep Titan from buying out the company.
Billie
Will the show help us with that?
Forrest
It could. You know, I do hear that Spears Industries is for sale…if we could buy that company, it might help us against Titan. The problem is is that we don’t have the money. Alamain is nearly bankrupt.
Billie
Well we’ve got to help ourselves somehow.
Forrest then glances around, and sees Vivian on the other side of the room! He angrily stomps off towards her…




Back in another dressing room, Belle has one all to herself and she is just putting her dress on as she nervously prepares to launch the new face of Bella Magazine. The door opens and she jumps slightly only to see Nicholas. He smiles at her and puts his hands on her shoulders as he kisses her.
Belle
You shouldn’t be in here, you are technically one of my boss’s opponents.
Nicholas
No one has to know, do they?
Belle
Yeah but I have to get ready, and you have to go help your uncle for your sake, before Victor makes sure you are all out on the street!
Nicholas
Please, I’d risk that for spending some time with you…
Belle
Well, maybe just a few kisses wouldn’t hurt…
Belle then turns around as Nicholas chuckles, and they lean in and kiss passionately, and just hold each other for a moment until Belle backs away.
Belle
I really have to finish getting ready…
Nicholas
Okay okay, but I’ll see you later, okay?
Belle winks at him as he smiles back and then leaves, as she continues to prepare…




Salem Trainstation
Megan grabs Hope by the hair, and Hope angrily turns around and grabs Megan’s hand and tosses her to the ground, and Megan scowls and darts up towards Hope and slams her against the wall. Hope kicks Megan, causing Megan to trip but then Hope catches her by HER hair, and pulls Megan back up.
[b]Megan[/b]
Whats wrong, Hope? Too nice to let me get hurt?
[b]Hope[/b]
No, Megan. I didn’t let you fall because I’m not like you, and I never will be.
[b]Megan[/b]
If you aren’t like me then why did you kill Princess Gina?
[b]Hope[/b]
I am not that person anymore. I am not the person that drinks, not the person that smokes crack, tries to hide her crimes, or go on the run. No, that’s YOU! I learned something very important while I was gone for Salem, and I am never going to be that person again. I am going to face Bo, and face the law, no matter what they throw at me. And that’s why I am not like you: I’m not as petty and foolish as you.
[b]Megan[/b]
Damn, you really are crazy, aren’t you?
[b]Hope[b]
Actually, I’m not. No matter what you think. I have bigger things to take care of. Goodbye, Megan.
Hope then walks away from Megan, as Megan stares at her, steaming in anger.
[B]Megan[/b]
Fine, Hope, condemn yourself. I’ll just be there to watch your life collapse.




[b]Downtown Salem[/b]
Inside Nicole and Stami’s dressing room, the two continue to argue.
[b]Nicole[/b]
Trash? I am an Evans and a DiMera. Oh I forgot, you have to be a BRADY to be a good person.
[b]Stami[/b]
You may be related to my mom by blood, but not by heart. And you never will be.
[b]Nicole[/b]
The same could be said about you.
[b]Stami[/b]
No, because I actually loved my mother once, you never have and don’t seem like you ever will. I never see you around town having those mother-daughter moments with her, or anything. I think you just want money from the DiMera Fortune. Am I right?
[b]Nicole[/b]
I’m not a golddigger anymore, and you need to get that through your thick-head!
[b]Stami[/b]
I never will because that’s a lie. You are nothing but a pricy piece of trash Nicole, because if you weren’t, well…maybe you’d keep a man for more than five minutes.
As Stami gets up, Nicole looks at her with boiling anger and then jumps up and grabs Stami! She then hurls Stami into the wall, and Stami screams out and rushes back at Nicole, and slaps her in the face, then he grabs Nicole by the chin and SLAMS her down onto the table with all of the make-up, and as Nicole coughs Stami begins to choke her!! Nicole barely manages to bite out on Stami’s hand and Stami yells out in pain, as Nicole escapes and gasps for air, and then her eyes dart to Stami and she pulls on his hair…CAUSING THE WIG TO COME OFF! Nicole looks on in shock as Stami shoots her a death glare…




On the runway, models continue to run down it as many watch, including Lucas, Jan, Billie, Nicholas, and Vivian. Forrest walks up to Vivian and grabs her by the arm.
[b]Forrest[/b]
What are you doing here? You have no business here.
[b]Vivian[/b]
Actually, I do, dear nephew.
[b]Forrest[/b]
What are you talking about? You quit Alamain. You are out 100%.
[b]Vivian[/b]
True, but…I may just be getting a job at Titan.
[b]Forrest[/b]
What?? Old man Kiriakis was foolish enough to let you in?
[b]Vivian[/b]
He told me to be here, and I am going to make sure that he gives me the job, and then I’ll take down your puny company and your little girlfriend.
[b]Forrest[/b]
You won’t touch Alamain. Now that you are gone it will finally recover from what you put it in. And stay away from Billie. She doesn’t need you taunting her anymore than you already have.
[b]Vivian[/b]
As you wish…
Forrest looks at her one last time before letting her go and walking back over to Billie, and they all continue to watch the show…
In Belle’s dressing room, as she is now finishing her make up, Victor and Justin walk in.
[b]Victor[/b]
Almost ready?
[b]Belle[/b]
Yeah, just finishing up.
[b]Victor[/b]
Excellent. This is going to be a legendary day for all of us, and Titan. Bella Magazine will be officially launched, with you as its primary new face.
[b]Belle[/b]
I’m actually a little nervous. I mean this seems huge.
[b]Justin[/b]
It is, but I’m sure you’ll do fine. From what I know and have seen in the mere days I’ve been back you’ve been excellent, and you’ll do great as a model.
[b]Belle[/b]
Thanks.
[b]Victor[/b]
Well, its nearly time. Lets go.
Belle and Justin both nod as Belle finishes with her make-up and follows them back outside, and they go back down beside the runway as she heads towards the runway itself…




Back inside Stami and Nicole’s dressing room, Nicole slowly stumbles away from Stami in shock at pulling off his wig, and he slowly removes the gun he told Sami he would use on Marlena…
[b]Nicole[/b]
Wh-who are you? Because you sure as hell aren’t Sami.
[b]Stami[/b]
I was going to use this on Evans but you’ll do for now…
Stami then FIRES the gun and the shot is heard by many throughout the building, and she nearly screams as it hits her, and her body falls to the ground. Stami looks on at her motionless form, and quickly runs out of the room and darts away, but only minutes later Tony and Marlena quickly run in to see their “daughter” lying on the ground in a pool of blood…

Affairs of the Heart, a spin off of the now syndicated web series, Life In Salem, will be making it's debut in a few days.
TO start out, the episode of Life in Salem, no.253 will air , leading up to the spin off and then AOTH's first episode will then debut.

As you can see from the cast, AOTH will only be dealing with about 2 to 3 story lines. AOTH is a stand alone series with occasional crossovers to and from the mother ship, Life In Salem.

AOTH will be about 25 to 30 episodes and you can expect a major finale. It's something NO OTHER DAYS blog has dared or tried to do.

AOTH is written in a slower pace to really accent the stories and character emotions. AOTH moves even slower then LIS and even my other series, S.T.E.A.M.

Regarding my other series, we all know it's campy but have no fear, AOTH will be nothing of the such.

Also be sure to check out the very Best of Life in Salem.

Stay tuned!

I know I have been playing merry go round with this blog for months. I was going to do S.T.E.A.M. but I believe there is a cap on pics. My SUNSET BEACH blog could not pan out as my schedule does not allow time.(Still have a bible for it though) I've also considered doing Another World, but did not feel comfortable without knowledgeable co HW working with me. SO I have decided to air LIFE In Salem's new spin off Affairs of the Heart. Stay tuned for more details this week. I am very happy to finally and officially be joining the SOS blog community and I look forward to reading some of these blogs here.

(Tell me which blogs to read and why)
