The Devil Isn't Happy

A Prevuze Exclusive...

Holbrook Joins Days Of Our Lives Cast Burbank – NBC and Corday productions have jointly announced veteran actor Hal Holbrook will join the cast of Days Of Our Lives in a key role. Holbrook, 84, who bears an uncanny resemblance to John Aniston after a severe beating, will immediately take over the role of Victor Kiriakis. Executive Producer Ken Corday explained Holbrook is a versatile actor best known for his role in the one-man play, "Mark Twain Tonight." Corday said Holbrook has proven his ability to work alone on stage and this paves the way for DOOL to fire all the other actors as a cost cutting measure. Several DOOL actors and Holbrook himself appeared at the news conference to make the announcement. "I'm really excited about this," said Nadia Bjorlin who plays Chloe Lane on the venerable soap opera, "I've always admired Mr. Holbrook's portrayal of Mark Twain and I really loved him in the role of Barney Miller." Reminded that it was Hal Linden, not Hal Holbrook who played Barney Miller, Lane commented, "Whatever. I just Hope we get a few elevator scenes together." Holbrook joins the show on April 15. Corday said he hopes to have the remaining actors fired by the end of that day so they can all go home and pay their income taxes, since its the last time any of them will actually have an income.

Now that Tony is dead, the medical staff turns its attention to Phillip's hand. A nurse examines him, "OMG! It's a boo-boo! "

"Can you tell me what that means in layman's terms," asks Phillip, "How bad is it?" Phillip gets his answer when the crash cart team rushes in. Daniel stops them, "It's only a cut hand. I don't think defibrillation is necessary under the circumstances."

The nurse asks, "Have you forgotten what hospital he's in? If it weren't for us, the city morgue would go out of business."

Stefano explodes at Nicole. He challenges her about her trip to the convent. EJ asks, "What are you talking about?"

Stefano looks at Nicole, "Do you want to tell him, or should I?"

Chloe says the pregnancy test didn't work, "Maybe I didn't study enough."

Kate says, "Well then, we'll just have to get another one."

Lucas turns and snorts, "Could we lose the 'we' please? You're always sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong."

Kate yells, "You're being mean Lucas, and it doesn't become you."

Lucas fires back, "And it doesn't become you to hang out where you're not wanted."

Lucas and mommy go at it. Chloe referees, "Please stop this. I'm so tired of this. I'm just... tired." Chloe decides to go to the drugstore and get another test. Lucas volunteers to go with her, but Chloe insists she's a big girl and can do it herself. Lucas asks, "We're in this together, right?"

Chloe flashes back to hot times with Dr. Dan, "I Hope so."

Kate gets a call from Daniel. He tells her Phillip is at the hospital and suggests Kate get down there.

Phillip tells Stephanie, "After Tony fell, I looked in his eyes. We both knew it was bad."

"So you both saw the script, then," asks Stephanie.

EJ rages. He says he's not playing Stefano's games. Stefano agrees, "The games are over and the lies are over." He asks Nicole about the convent. He says he doesn't believe Nicole was there to volunteer. He turns to EJ and points at Nicole, "I need that lying bitch to finally tell the truth."

Max, Melanie and Chelsea are at a table at the Cheatin' Heart. Max tells Melanie Tony and Phillip had a fight. Melanie wonders if they were fighting over her, "Do you know where Phillip is now."

"He's at the hospital," says Max. Chelsea hauls off and kicks him under the table. Melanie, however is off the the races. She says she's going to see Phillip. Chelsea says it may not be a good idea. Melanie huffs off.

Kate arrives at the hospital and hugs Phillip. Lucas follows.

EJ blows up at Stefano, "You lost one son today. Keep going if you want to lose another."

Apparently, that's the best idea Stefano's heard all day. He continues to rant at Nicole, "I want to know what you were doing at that convent."

EJ nukes, "I don't care if she was having an affair with the mother superior, it's none of your business!" Stefano says all he knows is his son is dead and Phillip is walking around free. Make that limping around free.

Melanie rushes up and asks Stephanie to see Phillip. Stephanie says she can't. Apparently with Kayla out of the picture, Stephanie is now Chief of Staph. Melanie says thinks the whole thing is her fault because Phillip and Tony were fighting about the fuel's project. Stephanie reminds her Phillip never got the blueprints back and now Tony is dead, "So the project is dead, too."

Stefano leaves EJ and Nicole to have a private moment, "Maybe Nicole will tell you the truth about the convent."

Nicole whines, "EJ, you believe me don't you?"

"Of course," says EJ, "Father's just lashing out." He shows Nicole the "B" note, "Do you know what it means?"

Stefano hears someone at the door and opens it. Angry Anna.

SLAP!

Nicole says she doesn't know what it means. EJ says it's not Stefano's place to grill her, but it is his place because he's the fiancée, "Tony is dead, and you're the only witness."

Nicole bawls, "If you don't trust me, maybe we should call off the wedding."

"Maybe we should," says EJ.

Daniel comes out and tells Kate it was just a few stitches. She asks if he reported Tony's death as an accident. Daniel says, "No. They called it an accident because of Nicole's statement." He walks off.

Kate suggests Lucas go home and see what's up with Chloe. "Sure," says Loserclueless, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

Kate says, "I wouldn't act so thrilled about it. You and Chloe having a baby is a big mistake."

Phillip broods. Stephanie says, "You're coming with me."

Anna refuses to come inside, "Why would I want to be around a sick bastard like you?"

"Because," says Stefano, "Your husband missed you and you are going to have to live with that for all the Days Of Our Lives." He tells her Tony's death was not an accident.

"You're right about that," says Anna, "It was murder and it was you who killed him."

EJ says he's tired of Nicole threatening to leave any time things don't go her way, "So get out. And if you're thinking about taking Sydney, think again."

Lucas tells Kate she doesn't have a vote, "Either Chloe is or is not pregnant."

"Your grasp of the situation is amazing," says Kate, "I want you to know I think Chloe should be the host of my TV show." Lucas thinks Chloe could take the job whether she's pregnant or not. He rushes off to get the results, "Don't hold your breath, OK?"

Chelsea broods. Max takes her plate and digs in. Chelsea wonders if Phillip is to blame for Tony's death, "I think both Stephanie and Melanie are in over their heads. They're in too deep."

"A mud puddle is too deep for them," says Max.

Melanie walks back in. "Speak of the devil," says Chelsea, "and the devil isn't happy."

Melanie flops into a chair at their table, "It's done. We're done. We have nothing."

Stephanie brings Phillip into her new apartment and shows Phillip around. He acts like he's impressed. They sit on the couch and he thanks her. She tells him he will get through this. "Twelve hours ago," he sighs, "the Alternative Fuels Project was the most important thing in my life and now it seems worthless. I was wrong about everything and you were right." He smooches her on the cheek.

Stefano insists he had nothing to do with Tony's death. Anna accuses him of lying, "Tony's dead and we both know why."

"Yes," says Stefano, "Budget cuts."

Anna goes off the deep end, "I came here to look you in the eye one more time and tell you how much I hate you."

Nicole says, "Tonight everyone is crazy with grief."

"We're crazy with or without grief," says EJ, "But what I want to know, is... are you grieving, too?"

Nicole insists she is and also says Stefano's accusations were crazy. EJ says he doesn't think she and Tony could stand each other. Nicole says Tony was trying to torture EJ and Stefano, "Then he dies and all of a sudden, he's St. Anthony."

EJ says he and Stefano feel betrayed, "You don't get it do you?" You have no idea what you have done."

Stephanie offers to let Phillip sleep on the couch, "I'll sit here until you fall asleep."

"Am I that pathetic," asks Phillip.

She tells Phillip he doesn't have to be like the DiMeras, "You don't have to feel like that."

Phillip says, "Maybe I already am like the DiMeras."

Melanie rants, "EJ tried to ruin me, you tried to ruin me and now Tony's dead." Max comforts her. Melanie smiles, "And, Max, everything I bought was on sale. I can' return any of it."

Lucas returns to the cabin. Chloe tells him, "I took the test. Then I took another. Then another. I'm not pregnant."

"Not now," says Lucas, "But it still made an interesting night."

Chloe asks, "Then how come it didn't make an interesting episode?"

Lucas says, "We will make it happen. We will have a baby of our own soon."

As Lucas hugs her, Chloe thinks, "Let's see... I peed on a stick and got the best news of my life. I wonder if that works with lottery tickets?"

Kate calls. Lucas tells her Chloe isn't pregnant, "Are you happy?"

"No," says Kate, "It's not that, but I think it's for the best. Chloe needs to get a checkup though." Kate hangs up as Daniel walks by. She pretends to still be talking to Lucas, picks up the microphone to the hospital PA system and says, "Well, you know, pregnancy tests aren't always accurate. I understand this is a secret, so I'm not going to tell anyone."

Daniel walks up to her and says he overheard her conversation, "Chloe is pregnant?"

"No," says Kate, She wrinkles her brow. It's amazing she can do that after all the Botox treatments, "You look relieved." Daniel says he's just worrying about Chloe's health. Kate says he's sweet to worry about her since he's not even her doc. Daniel asks about Phillip. Kate tells him Phillip's OK and says it's been a weird day. She says she hasn't been sleeping for a few weeks, and asks for a prescription. Daniel agrees. "I'm feeling better already," says Kate.

Anna continues her hatefest and says she will make the arrangements for Tony's funeral.

EJ accuses Nicole of letting Phillip kill Tony and walk away. Nicole insists she told the truth, "It was an accident."

EJ attacks, "Phillip planned to kill my brother and I'm scared you had something to do with it."

Lucas wants Chloe to go see the doctor, "It's non-negotiable, Mrs. Horton." He says he thinks the TV job is a great idea. Chloe agrees to call Kate and tell her she's taking the job.

Daniel gives Kate the prescription and says it isn't renewable. Kate looks at the piece of paper, "Is there a bad handwriting course you doctor's take?"

"They can read my signature at the pharmacy," says Daniel, "That's all that matters."

"You know something," chirps Kate, "you are right."

Phillip dreams about his fight with Tony and tosses and turns. He jumps awake. Stephanie comforts. He tells her he feels like Tony's death was his fault.

Anna says Stefano will go to his grave knowing how he treated Tony before he died. She knows he didn't see him after he fell and never got a chance to stay goodbye, "I have peace and you never will."

"What do you mean you have peace," says Stefano.

"I'm off the show. I don't have to put up with this junk any more." Anna leaves.

Stefano mumbles, "I may never have peace but I will have revenge."

Nicole says she had to tell the truth. EJ thinks maybe there is a reason she's protecting Phillip and maybe a reason she was at the pier, "If you wanna join this family, it has a code. You wanna live up to that code. Phillip isn't innocent, do you hear me?"

Nicole is desperate, "EJ, you're tired and you're exhausted. Let's just go upstairs and you can hold Sydney and you will feel better and things will be different in the morning."

Cold, cruel EJ says, "I'm sure you would like that to happen. I'm sorry. It's just not going to."
