What if ….Vivian Alamain goes to work for and live with Stefano ?

Posted by: admin In: Uncategorized

A new storyline
By Libby

Right now, we know Vivian is heavily engaged in a sinister plot to trap and kill Maggie Horton to get her away from Vivian’s husband in name only, Victor Kirikais. If history prevails, dear Vivian will fail miserably in this bizarre plot with the help of her side kick, Gus. The Salem Police Department arrests Vivian due to the bizarre incident with Maggie and the Kiriakis men and begins a full investigation of Vivian which also leads to an investigation of some of her previous international underworld dealings. The results of the growing investigation may even draw the interest of key ISA men, like Shane Donovan.

After her latest thwarted plans, Vivian loses both her husband, Victor, and her home. The police, Victor’s operatives and the ISA are doggedly trailing her every move. Increasingly feeling fearful and alone, Vivian goes to her ex-husband, Stefano, for help. Viv humbles herself in front of Stefano to get his powerful protection and help. Coincidentally, Stefano is livid and suspicious of his wife, Kate, for involving herself in Chad Petersen-Woods’s life, family secrets and a few other actions that he deems as personal betrayals. Stefano wants to teach Kate a lesson now to keep her in line. To help accomplish his goal, Stefano invites Vivian to come and live at the DiMera mansion and work for DiMera Enterprises as his personal assistant, while EJ takes some personal time to work on his life issues and his ill-fated wedding. With EJ on temporary leave from DiMera Enterprises, Vivian is able to step right into the role of assistant to Stefano with a ready-made knowledge of both Stefano’s and Victor’s underworld business enterprises and her very strong strategic planning (or plotting?) skills.

Kate will be enraged with Vivian invading her life with Stefano. Vivian will struggle to finalize her divorce from Victor – but will enjoy the excitement of being in the midst of the power of the DiMeras. Kate and Vivian will be immediately engaged in catfights to the amusement of Stefano. To solidify her position with Stefano before EJ returns to work, Vivian soon decides she wants to uncover more of Kate’s connections to the late Madeline Peterson Woods and her growing relationship with young Chad. Vivian and Stefano will work together to clear her name completely from police and ISA suspicions. This may require her to look more and more back to her Alamain roots. Perhaps, Vivian may even discover a surprising new secret about Carly Manning. She will also be there to console and comfort Stefano as he worries about his #1 son, EJ, and his recent troubles.

Vivian works hard and fast with all of her resources to gain Stefano’s confidence and support – so that when EJ returns from his personal leave, she will not have to give up any power and influence she has gained with Stefano. Chaos ensues.

    All I know is that I don’t want Vivian to leave my screen. If we lose her, who’s our crazy nutjob on the show? Sami? please….

  • Lisa

    I have to agree with Katie. Now that most of our bad gals have gone good, I would hate to see Vivian leave. She’s great when she’s on!

  • Karen M.

    A fun read, but I don’t know about that scenario. I don’t think Viv is a match for Kate. She’s crafty but kookoo. Kate is smart and tough.
    I think Kate will let the truth out soon (I hope), and since she just found out recently, she can probably explain that away to Stephano and he’ll forgive her…at least I hope so, I really like those two together.

  • Patti

    I don’t know about it all. But I do know they need to keep her on the show somehow.

  • Linda Mcfarland

    Nooooo! I really like Katie and Stefano together, Nice, I hope she really does love him! They are a good match. Hope she tells him the truth about Chad!

  • Barbara Kwiatkowski

    I do know many years ago Vivian could not work with Stefano, he was in real life very cruel to her!! I saw it myself. Hope he changed as he has aged! I like Kate much better!

  • Mary Kelly

    Libby, what a good scenario! That would really make a great SL for all 4 actors, Stephano, Victor, Kate & Viv.

    Libby, love your scenario and your writing! I really enjoying reading your posts!!

    I do feel Vivian and Carly have both been lacking in front-burning storylines since they arrived in Salem. I just feel Carly is a background pink elephant in the room to Bope and Vivian has just been running Salem trying to stir up trouble with however comes in her way. I think the writers need to give these veterans good storylines, if they are going to coming back to the show. They have a legacy to fulfill and I don’t feel the writers have been the characters of Carly or Vivian a chance.

    Also, I think the idea of burying Maggie Horton alive is cliched and a recycled storyline, and it’s sadistic. Maggie Horton is amazing woman and to watch Vivian torture her is not enjoyment to watch. I would rather see Vivian/Maggie/Victor have a triangle, and have them really show some dialogue with these characters.

    It just seems to me that a lot of the vets on the show are getting to be fill ins for the youngeer crowd. It has been that way for a while. Not sure I really like this idea.

    Isn’t there anyone else vivian could get with besides victor and stephano? I guess not right now but they should bring back some other powerful man who vivian could hook up with and stay on the show, they could be a veteran couple like stphano and kate. Maybe they could brang back paul hollingsworth for her or some guy from the past ya know who is powerful like victor and stephano

  • Michael Jenkins

    That would be great.

  • Leigh

    I like Kate and Stefano together, I absolutely despise Vivian, I hope she buries herself alive in that sarcophagus and dies. (isn’t it funny that her flunky is Gus and he is helping her with a sarcophaGUS!lmao) Good riddance to Vivian, time to kill her off, there’s a reason she didn’t last before on the show and I bet it’s because people can’t stand her.

  • KatieR

    Leigh, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Vivian lasted 8 years her first run. If that’s not “lasting a long time” I’m not sure what is. Does a character have to be on for at least 20 years? Vivian is a very loved character by many ppl for her crazy antics. She’s won multiple awards for her portrayal of Vivian. The only reason she was written off was b/c the writers changed (Tom Langan took over) and he was going another direction. IMHO, it was b/c he didn’t know how to write for her.

    See Wikipedia if you want the list of awards Vivian/Louise Sorel has won.

    That would be awesome! I don’t want them to break up State permanently, but I’d love to see Viv throw a wrench in the works up there. Love the scenes between her and Kate

    I’m a bit disappointed in her storyline with Maggie. I would expect Vivian to have a bit more class than to reuse a murder plot. That’s just tacky. I think instead she should get Maggie to fall off the wagon, then frame her for some terrible crime that will disgust Victor and earn her a short stint in prison.

  • Sue

    That seems like a plausible storyline Libby. Someplace else to go after the Maggie/Victor story. Vivian vs Kate would be good stuff.

    I am enjoying the return of Vivian. Vivian/Carly was front burner last fall/winter into Feb sweeps. The Feb wedding between Phil/Melanie was when Days was #2 in the ratings, so to me Vivian’s return wasn’t ‘wasted’. Vivian/Victor was hysterical all fall/winter, and i’m enjoying Vivian vs Maggie. Their dustups had me rolling.

    Yes, ‘buried alive’ has been done and they can’t possibly top it but I have to admit Vivian scheming against Maggie and possibly putting her in that outrageous 90′s Days plot is amusing me.
