‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Stefano Committed Suicide Using Hope - Rafe and Shawn Learn Stefano Terminally Ill, Wanted to Die

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that Rafe (Galen Gering) and Shawn (Brandon Beemer) will uncover a big clue as they dig for details on Hope’s (Kristian Alfonso) case. They know what went down once Hope entered the DiMera mansion and pumped multiple bullets in Stefano (Joseph Mascolo). They just don’t know about the events leading up to it.

Rafe will believe they’re missing something. He’ll hope that there’s some crucial fact that could totally change the game. It looks like Rafe and Shawn will indeed find new evidence, but that evidence will create more questions.

Days fans will recall that Stefano was ill in the weeks before his demise. He was confined to a wheelchair and he hinted to Andre (Thaao Penghlis) that he wouldn’t be around much longer. Most of us assumed that Stefano wanted Hope to kill him that day. He didn’t want to hang around and suffer for months.

Stefano hoped to go out with a bang and he certainly accomplished his goal. Days of Our Lives spoilers say Shawn and Rafe will find emails that show Stefano was terminally ill. His doctor will confirm that the DiMera patriarch was fading fast.

Rafe has repeatedly mentioned that Stefano goaded Hope into doing this. In essence, Rafe’s implication is that Stefano committed suicide using Hope as the means to do so! It’s kind of odd that Days is acting like this is some kind of bombshell. It should’ve been obvious to anyone who saw Stefano in such a weak state. The man was clearly dying.

Nevertheless, Rafe and Shawn will seem shocked by the new information. The Salem PD has never employed the best and brightest! At least they’ll have proof of what DOOL viewers have known all along.
We have to wonder how they’ll use this to get Hope off the hook. After all, this doesn’t mean she isn’t guilty. Hope marched in Stefano’s study like a raving lunatic. She couldn’t rest until Stefano paid the price for kidnapping Bo (Peter Reckell).

Hope later learned Stefano was innocent of that particular crime, so that made this murder even worse. Bottom line, Hope is still guilty. It’s not like Stefano forced her to pull the trigger. Hope should be responsible for her own actions.

However, they might be able to use the emails and the doctor’s testimony during the appeal. There’s a chance it could sway the judge. Days of Our Lives spoilers hint that Chad (Billy Flynn) could shift his opinion as well. He’ll get emotional when he hears the whole story.

Chad will realize that definitely sounds like something Stefano would do. It’s not surprising that Stefano would use Hope for assisted suicide. Stef undoubtedly knew Hope would go to jail for murder. He felt like he was dying with some form of dignity and taking Hope down in the process. It was a win-win situation for our favorite villain.

Chad will pay Hope a visit in prison to discuss the truth. Will he soften toward his father’s killer? Will Chad join Rafe and Shawn’s fight to secure Hope’s release?
