MONDAY 3RD APRIL 2000
Greta is hit especially hard when she learns that "Hope" didn't make
it. Greta blames herself, but Bo says it isn't her fault. Later, Eric and Greta
head to the park. He tells Greta that if she wants to move forward with her
life, she can't go back to Europe. He shows her the apartment ads he's circled,
but doesn't push it. If Greta's going to stay in Salem, she's got to decide for
herself...
Sami presses Brandon for information about his past, and he finally starts to
open up. He tells her that when he was in the ring fighting Austin, he was also
fighting the demons inside. Brandon says he isn't going to give up until he gets
rid of them. Sami wants details about these "demons." Will Brandon
tell her?
Hope awakens from her slumber and tries to connect with Bo. She knows he and
Shawn are hurting right now, and she vows she will make it back to them no
matter what it takes...
After everything that has happened with "Hope," Marlena tells John
that she's going to give up her practice. John tries to dissuade her. Even
though Bo may think it, what happened to "Hope" is not Marlena's
fault. Later, Belle stops by with news that "Hope" passed away.
Marlena and John are hit hard. Lexie joins them and says that "Hope"
wouldn't have lived much longer anyway. The x-rays showed that she had lung
cancer. John and Marlena are completely shocked...
Bo is by "Hope's" side until the very end. There isn't a dry eye in
the house when she finally passes on. Family and friends gather at the Brady pub
to mourn "Hope." But Bo doesn't stay very long. He visits with Shawn,
and they vow to take care of each other now that "Hope" is gone.
Later, Bo heads out to the park where he and Hope used to always swing. He looks
up to heaven and tells Hope that he needs her in order to get through all of
this...
TUESDAY 4TH APRIL 2000
Chloe's first day at Salem high proves to be one she'd like to forget. Jason and
the other kids poke fun at her, much to Belle's dismay...
Sami is worried when Austin says he's seriously considering getting back into
the ring. He assures her that he isn't going to let anything happen like before.
Next time he steps into the ring, he'll know his opponent inside and out. Later,
Sami, again, tries to get Brandon to open up about his past...
Austin finds himself in the middle of an intense argument between Brandon and
Nicole. Brandon is trying to convince Nicole to see their mother, but she
refuses. Austin intervenes and Nicole lashes out at him, telling him to mind his
own business. Later, Austin runs into Roman at Salem place. Roman asks him the
million dollar question: are Sami and Austin together for the sake of Will? Or
is Austin falling in love with her?
Nicole gives Greta some dating tips to help her with Eric. Nicole says that Eric
is a man who likes action, so Greta shouldn't wait too much longer to have sex
with him. Greta is shocked and doesn't know what to think. Meanwhile, as Eric
goes through the photos from the lingerie shoot, he can't get Nicole out of his
head...
John stops by Marlena's office and presses her for information about her
sessions with Hope. Marlena wishes she could help, but even though
"Hope" is dead, Marlena still can't break the confidentiality pact.
John, however, is determined to find out just what went on during those
sessions. He later convinces Marlena to leave the room, and he secretly takes
Hope's file from the drawer...
WEDNESDAY 5TH APRIL
2000
At Dot.Com, Belle rails at her "friends" for picking on Chloe. As
Belle takes off, Mimi says they're just having fun. In fact, Mimi is happy that
Chloe is distracting the kids from picking on her...
Nicole shows Greta the River Terrace apartments. Greta loves it and thinks it'd
be a great place to live. Little does Greta know, this is Nicole's old
apartment. Nicole does her best to "sell" the place. She knows that if
Eric steps foot in the apartment (which Nicole used to occupy) he'll be flooded
with memories of them...
Marlena is shocked when she realizes that John stole Hope's file from her
office. Meanwhile, John wishes he wouldn't have had to resort to stealing, but
it's only for Marlena's good. He gets the file copied, then returns to the
office in Hopes that Marlena won't be there. But upon arrival, Marlena is there
and confronts him...
Bo is an emotional wreck, having difficulty coping with everything. John stops
by and asks Bo questions about "Hope." Bo says when he left Hope in
Europe, she was making an honest effort to stay in touch with her Hope side. But
then when she returned to Salem, they still didn't have any proof that the
transformation took place. John thinks all arrows point to Stefano...
Kurt returns to the castle turret and opens a small slot in the door to toss in
some more food. Stefano and Hope anxiously dash to the opening. Hope makes an
emotional plea to Kurt. She knows he's a good man, and that's why he's got to
help them. Kurt is deeply affected. Will he cave in?
THURSDAY 6TH APRIL 2000
John is shocked when he reads "Hope's" file. He is struck with the
upsetting memory of making love to "Hope" on the submarine. Marlena
notices John's distress and calls him on it. She wants to know if he's
remembered anything. John, not wanting to break his wife's heart, opts not to
tell her the truth about his lovemaking session. He assures her the past is the
past, and his future is with Marlena. But we get the feeling Marlena thinks John
is keeping something from her...
Stefano's hand is sore from Kurt's stabbing, so Hope offers to take her turn
tapping out their S.O.S. Almost immediately, the radio station responds and
encourages them to continue the signal so they can narrow down the exact
location...
There's an unlikely partnership as Abe and Victor decide to help each other find
Stefano. Victor calls one of his contacts and learns that Gina Von Amberg
chartered a flight from Salem to Europe on December 17th... the last day Stefano
was seen in Salem. Questions arise which no one can answer, but Abe assures a
concerned Lexie that they'll do everything they can to get some answers...
Bo, Shawn, and Roman set sail on the Fancy Face II in search of a location to
later scatter "Hope's" ashes. This is extremely difficult for father
and son, but Bo knows he must be strong. After stopping at five different
locations, Bo still isn't satisfied. He wants Hope's final resting place to be
perfect, and he hasn't gotten any positive vibes yet...
Doug and Julie sort through "Hope's" things from her hotel suite, but
find it strange that she had so many unusual and un-Hope-like belongings. Lili
tries to convince them that it was Gina who died, but Doug won't believe it.
Finally, Lili comes up with an idea... Princess Gina had her appendix removed
and Hope didn't. All they have to do is check the body for a scar. Doug thinks
it's worth a shot, so he calls the crematorium in Hopes of convincing them to
stop "Hope's" cremation. Easier said than done. Bo is the only one
with that power. Will they find him before it's too late?
FRIDAY 7TH APRIL 2000
Brandon drops by Nicole's office with a surprise visitor...their mom. Nicole is
caught off guard and obviously embarrassed that her mom is at her work place.
Nicole puts up a front and holds back her anger toward her mother. But in a
private moment with Brandon, Nicole's true hatred of her mother shines
through...
Austin is upset with Sami when he overhears her talking to Eric about Nicole.
Sami says that she just wants to get the dirt on Nicole and Lucas's marriage so
she can get full custody of Will. Austin can't believe Sami is up to her old
tricks again. Sami tries to explain herself, but Austin cuts her off. He's very
disappointed in her...
John is plagued with memories of being on the submarine with Stefano and
"Hope." He refuses to accept these nightmares as truth and hurries off
to see Greta. Perhaps she can help him get some answers. John fires questions at
Greta, but she won't talk. All she wants to do is clear Hope from her memory.
John, however, knows she's hiding something. Before much more is said, they
learn that there's been a problem at the crematorium. Seems somebody thinks the
body isn't Hope's. John and Greta rush off with urgency...
Doug does all he can to try and stop the workers from cremating
"Hope's" body. He explains the situation, but the workers think he's
nuts. They have no plans of stopping the cremation. Meanwhile, Bo finds the
perfect place to scatter Hope's ashes, but before they head back to shore, he
wants to go to the Horton cabin. After all, it was the last place Bo and
"Hope" spent time alone. Back at the docks, Julie is growing anxious
for Bo's return. Time is running out, and she enlists in an old friend's help to
find Bo. But will they find him before it's too late?
MONDAY 10TH APRIL 2000
After arguing about Nicole, Sami fears Austin may be having second thoughts
about their relationship. Austin tells Sami that they're doing things backwards.
In a way it seems as though they are already married. Sami panics, but Austin
pulls her in for a passionate kiss. Just when Sami thinks that they're back on
track, Austin says their relationship isn't going to improve unless they quit
living together...
As Nicole and Brandon talk about their rough childhood, we learn that Abe was
one of the cops who frequently came by the house to check on Nicole and
Brandon's abused mother. Nicole remembers Abe as a nice man who helped their mom
out, but Brandon remembers a whole different picture...
Kate is worried and doesn't want Victor to mess with Stefano. Victor is sorry,
but this is his way of life. If Kate doesn't approve, then maybe she should
reconsider her answer to his proposal. Later, Nicholas and Vivian arrive. Kate
is furious, but Victor decides that now is the perfect time for him and Vivian
to go over a proposal she wrote up. Nicholas escorts Kate back to her office and
asks the million dollar question...is she having second thoughts about marrying
Victor?
Bo stops the cremation before it's too late. But when he examines the body, he
doesn't see a scar. That means it must be Hope. Greta, however, wants to see for
herself. She feels a protrusion on the skin right where an appendectomy would
have been performed. Hopes rise as family and friends realize this very well may
be Hope!
TUESDAY 11TH APRIL 2000
Nancy and Chloe head to Dot.Com where they run into Marlena and Belle. Nancy
encourages Chloe to hang out with Belle because her parents are pillars of the
community and Belle is the most popular girl at Salem high. Later, as Belle and
Chloe check out CDs, some of the kids from high school show up and start poking
fun at Chloe. Who will come to her rescue this time? Belle...or Nancy...?
Nicole, with her own agenda, "runs" into Eric working late at Titan.
The tension piques when Nicole says she's been talking with Austin a lot. In
fact, the two of them have had some rather in-depth conversations about her
past. This makes Eric jealous, which is all part of her master plan...
Hope's family and friends are filled with optimism when they learn that the dead
body may be that of Princess Gina. Greta hates to rain on everyone's parade, but
she says that even though this may be her mother's body, Greta is afraid that
Hope is dead. Later, the DNA guy comes to take samples. He'll get the results as
soon as possible...
An ill Hope spends much of the day in the bathroom throwing up. She has no idea
why she's feeling so queasy, but she fears that it's only going to get worse.
Later, Kurt checks on his prisoners, and Hope pleads with him to let her see a
doctor. Will Kurt cave in?
WEDNESDAY 12TH APRIL
2000
Brandon gets the information about Abe from his hacker contact. He scans through
the file and comes across something very interesting about the esteemed
commander carver. Later, Brandon shows Nicole the file and she's floored. She
can't believe this is the same Abe Carver who used to give her lollipops as a
kid. Nicole advises Brandon to set aside his anger and let this go, but Brandon
says he can't forget about what happened in the past...
Nicole stops by the Horton house and tells Greta she needs an answer about the
apartment now. Greta makes a spur of the moment decision...she'll take it.
Nicole, with her own agenda, is delighted. Later, Greta blindfolds Eric and says
she has a surprise for him...
John tells Eric, Marlena, and Belle that there's a chance Hope may still be
alive. This comes as a total shock to all. Later, Marlena and John discuss the
situation. Marlena wants to be sure that there's nothing John remembers about
his missing time at sea. Will John finally break down and tell Marlena the truth
about what went on in the submarine?
Hope tells Stefano she isn't feeling well and needs to see a doctor. When Kurt
opens the slot on the turret door, both Hope and Stefano plead with him to let
her see a doctor. Kurt isn't sure what to do. He sends through some antibiotics
for the time being. Later, Hope starts to get the feeling she knows exactly
what's wrong with her...

Eric is shocked to see that Greta rented out Nicole's old place. Greta is
equally as shocked when he tells her that Nicole used to live there. Greta
doesn't think that should make a difference as far as Eric and Greta are
concerned, but Eric begs to differ. The place holds way too many painful
memories... Marlena realizes the extent of John's distress when she sees him
kick over a coffee table. She confronts him about his anger, but just as he's
about to open up, they get a call from Victor. The DNA results are in... Julie,
Doug, and Alice grow impatient as they wait for the DNA results. Alice gets an
idea, and the three head to the cemetery to find peace. As they stand over tom
and addie's graves, they reminisce about the joyous old times and pray that Hope
is alive and well... Victor tells Bo and Shawn that his sources revealed that
Stefano left for Europe several days after Christmas with a woman who looked
like Princess Gina. But the princess was the only one who returned to Salem. Bo
electrifies. They're on the right track to solving the mystery. Victor promises
to continue the hunt for Stefano. Later, Bo and Shawn meet up with family and
friends at the crematorium to hear the results of the DNA test...
Hope prays to God that she isn't pregnant, but if she is, she needs to know who
the father is. Without letting Stefano know this dreaded fear, she asks him
about her recent past and the men she was with. Stefano admits that Hope was
quite the ladies' man... be it Bo, John, or the many gentleman callers who had
their eyes on her. This news greatly unsettles Hope. Later, Kurt discreetly
gives Hope the pregnancy kit, and she puts it to the test...
At school, Shawn tells Belle the good news about his mom. Belle is thrilled to
hear that the body turned out to be Princess Gina's. Overcome with emotion,
Belle flies into Shawn's arms. Philip and Mimi see this from afar and are
burning up inside. Later, Belle convinces Chloe to help Shawn with his
trigonometry homework. There's awkwardness between the two until they realize
their mutual love for classical music...
Greta says a tearful goodbye to her mother as the mortician slides the body back
into the refrigerated drawer. Greta later runs into Eric and he apologizes for
not believing Gina was alive. Greta, however, doesn't blame Eric. The two head
back to Greta's new apartment where Eric is plagued by memories of himself and
Nicole...
Bo tells Marlena he needs to know everything that was said during Gina's therapy
sessions. Marlena is uncomfortable, but finally agrees to cooperate. She tells
Bo that she put Gina under hypnosis, but it seemed as though Gina was only
saying things to hurt Marlena. Later, John speculates that Gina was pretending
to be Hope ever since before John and Marlena's wedding...
Chaos breaks out around the Kiriaki's dinner table when Austin announces that
he's moving into the main house, but Sami's staying in the guest house. Lucas is
irate and refuses to let Sami stay, but Austin and Sami argue that she's got to
be there for the sake of Will. Will Lucas give in?
Kate is interrupted from dinner by Nicholas, who calls her from his cell phone
just outside the Kiriakis mansion. He tells Kate to come to front door. When she
does this, she finds Nicholas. He pulls her outside and kisses her hotly. They
take their passion inside, but it doesn't last very long. Victor calls Kate, and
she is suddenly racked with guilt. She later escorts Nicholas to the door, but
when he emerges, he runs into a suspicious Nicole...
Bo and Shawn pay Greta a visit. They need to know everything Gina said before
her death that pertains to Hope. The three of them put their heads together and
realize that all arrows point to the fact that Hope is still alive. Now they
just have to figure out where she is...
There's a close call when the gendarmes confront Kurt about the SOS signal
they've been receiving. Kurt, however, covers and says he knows nothing about
it. Later, Kurt spies on Stefano as he taps out a message on the transmitter.
But this is exactly what Stefano hoped would happen. Now Kurt will have no
choice but to come inside the turret to seize the transmitter. Meanwhile, Hope
gets the results of her pregnancy test...
Chloe starts the day with Nancy and Craig at the Java cafe. Nancy's intentions
are good as she tries to get Chloe and Craig to bond. Easier said than done.
Shawn interrupts and asks if he can borrow Chloe for a minute. He needs help
with his trig homework. Chloe, thankful for the distraction, moves off with
Shawn. Later, Craig tells Nancy he thinks Chloe is weird, and an upset Nancy
says she'd appreciate it if Craig would at least make an effort to make Chloe
feel welcome. Meanwhile, Chloe and Shawn bond as they work on his homework...

of place...

plagued with a myriad of memories of time he spent there with Nicole. Eric is

she only did it to be nice. She then drops the bomb and tells Eric she still
loves him... and she always will...

to realize Duchess Harriman must be right...

two men struggled, and the gun went off hitting Larry. Brandon tells Larry that
he deserves some kind of settlement from the police, and Brandon knows just how
to get it...
Greta asks Lili for information about her father, but Lili doesn't think Greta

Assuming Kurt will soon barge through the turret door to destroy the
transmitter, Stefano and Hope make plans to escape. But wise Kurt has a plan of

Kurt fall off the roof. Is he dead?

Victor and he decides to confront Kate immediately. Meanwhile, Kate has a hot
fantasy about making love to Nicholas, but she's jolted out of her reverie when
an angry Victor enters...

problems. This really hits home with Abe. He and Roman talk about an upsetting

Vivian gets him into bed up at Green Mountain Lodge, he'll never have eyes for
Kate again...

Kate and makes her realize that if she does marry Victor, she'll have to live a

unsure...

returning...
John is on his way out to join Bo and the rest of the guys, but before he

somewhere inside the castle... like in a dungeon. Victor thinks it's a
possibility. In fact, maybe the castle could lead them to Hope. They'll have to
start the search in France. Lili alerts, shows the gang the newspaper article
re: the mysterious SOS signal. Bo electrifies. He remembers a time when Hope
used a SOS signal from the boat. Is it possible!? Could the SOS be coming from

back the gold bracelet he pawned today...or else it will be up for sale. Vivian
bargains with Philip...if he can get Kate to write him a check for one thousand

own...

cell phone rings. But is he strong enough to answer it?
