Days of our Lives: Lexie Resurrected from the Dead – Major Consequences Coming for Salem!

Days of Our Lives confirms Lexie Carver is the woman in the person pod, as we suspected. And they have recast the role. It was Renee Jones that played the role but they’ve dialed back Lexie’s age by 15 years. Now, she’s just 8 years older than her brother EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel).

And when Lexie turns up alive, there’s going to be epic fallout that affects all of Salem. We’re going to dive into when Lexie wakes up and what soapy drama comes in the fallout of this huge move EJ and Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) made with Gwen Rizczech’s (Emily O’Brien) help.

Days of our Lives: Lexie Carver Resurrected

We suspected all along that EJ and Dr. Rolf’s mystery lady was going to be none other than the DiMeras’ presumed dead sister, Lexie Carver. Who is of course, wife and soulmate of Abe Carver (James Reynolds). And mom to Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson).

Ok, so recently, Rolf and EJ revealed the woman in the tube to Gwen and she predicted bringing Lexie back would turn many lives upside down. But EJ said it’ll be in wonderful ways. But not wonderful for everyone. Especially not Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), who’s a major thorn in EJ’s side.

So, we’ll see Lexie’s face soon when they finally show fans who’s in the person pod. And then she’ll wake soon, about 14 years after she died of an inoperable brain tumor. Despite how much hate he gets from other DiMeras, you may recall EJ was one of the few DiMeras Lexie trusted.

 EJ’s Love for Lexie on DOOL

EJ helped Lexie fulfill her bucket list when she learned there was no hope for surviving her brain tumor. EJ always felt guilty about the DiMera tunnel toxins causing her death. So, it’s no surprise that EJ has Rolf resurrecting his favorite sister.

Dr. Rolf said Lexie should be waking up any time now. She’s back to the land of the living and her brain function is good. They just need her to open her eyes. This week, EJ’s spending time with his sleeping sister, tenderly touching her head. And he introduces someone to Lexie.

That’s the first place to start with the epic fallout ahead from this wild thing that EJ, Rolf and Gwen have done—this life giving miracle. A perfected resurrection serum that hopefully avoids all the side effects of some of the prior versions Rolf developed.

Paulina Price’s Marriage to Abe in Jeopardy on Days

So first, let’s talk about negative consequences to Lexie’s resurrection. Primarily this will hit Abe’s current wife, Paulina. By the end of this week or early next week, I suspect EJ shows a stunned Paulina who he’s got in the person pod.

She knows Lexie’s resurrection will likely end her marriage to Abe. How could it not? Right now, he’s happy with the life he has with Paulina and their blended family of Lani Price (Sal Stowers), Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and Theo. But Lexie and Abe were soulmates, madly in love at the time of her death.

For Abe, it’s been 14 years. For Lexie, it’ll feel like 14 minutes. She’d expect Abe to be with her. And I bet Lexie will fight for her man. But Paulina has to know this is bad for her marriage. And if she tells Abe that EJ resurrected Lexie to ruin their marriage, I’m not sure Abe will care.

Or he might not like Paulina making this about herself. Bottom line is EJ’s resurrecting Lexie because he loves her. But EJ will also enjoy hurting Paulina because she’s been a pain in his backside for a long time and gets to see his son and grandson when EJ’s banned.

Abe Carver Torn Between Two Loves on Days of Our Lives

As for the fallout on Abe’s life, it’ll be super complicated—a mixed blessing type of situation. He’s happily married to Paulina, but Abe’s been a bit upset with her because she encouraged Theo to pursue being CEO of DiMera Enterprises.

Abe knows Lexie wouldn’t have wanted Theo to work for her father’s company but Paulina wasn’t swayed by that. Bringing Lexie back to life is part of EJ’s elaborate plan to oust Theo from DiMera and try to keep his own son, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), around to run the show as CEO.

While Lexie might also want Theo out at DiMera, I’m not sure how she’ll feel about EJ and Abe conspiring. But then again, she may not mind if it keeps Theo safe on Days of our Lives. I expect to see Abe torn because he loves Paulina but he’d still be with Lexie if she hadn’t died. This’ll be hard on Abe.

Theo Carver Gets His Mom Back

And of course, huge fallout’s coming from Theo. He was just nine years old when his mom Lexie died. And while he really likes working for Stefano DiMera’s (Joe Mascolo) company and representing the DiMeras, Theo might quit if Lexie asked him to.

Since Theo almost died because of his uncle, Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier), he may decide to treasure his time with his resurrected mom and if Lexie wants him out at DiMera, Theo might walk away. And I’m sure Lexie’s going to be impressed with how Theo’s dealt with his autism and other struggles.

EJ’s Motives Will Be Questioned on DOOL

Now, let’s talk about the mastermind of all this—EJ orchestrated this research and resurrection to bring his sister Lexie back to life. But EJ can’t know how Lexie will react to being resurrected. I’m sure she’ll be glad for more time with Theo and Abe.

But Lexie also won’t like being a pawn in a DiMera power play. So, while I’m sure EJ presents this as him wanting to have his favorite sister back and wanted her to have a life with her son, Lexie will probably sniff out that EJ has other motives, some of them nefarious.

The Carver-Price Family Overwhelmed on Days of Our Lives

Finally, the entire Carver-Price household is going to be overwhelmed. Lani and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) are moving back to Salem soon, probably ASAP once they find out Lexie is alive. Lani loves both of her parents. But knows how much Abe grieved Lexie until he fell for Paulina.

Plus, Chanel’s in a high-risk pregnancy and wants her and Johnny to have nothing to do with EJ. And even though Chanel may be thrilled for Theo, I’m sure she will tell Johnny that EJ orchestrated all this to target her mom Paulina.

I can’t wait until we see Lexie open her eyes and begin her second chance at life in Salem! Hopefully she’s got no amnesia and it’ll be like she nodded off to sleep then woke back up, ready to resume her life. Which is going to cause ripple effects in many other lives. It starts soon!
