Days of our Lives: Theo Discovers Shocking Truth About Mom Lexie’s Death?

Days of Our Lives fans, we’ve got some big shockers coming for Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson). Now that he’s out of the hospital, the family felt like he was ready to hear that his grandpa Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo)’s bones were the ones that they found in the crypt.

But there’s another huge secret lingering that’s been lingering for years. That’s the truth about the death of Theo’s mom, Lexie Carver (Renee Jones). We’re going to talk about why Theo’s been kept in the dark about his mom’s fate and how that is going to play into what’s ahead.

Theo Carver Leaves the Hospital Amidst Stefano DiMera Bone Discovery on Days of Our Lives

So, Theo’s finally out of University Hospital, but when Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) told EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) that it was Stefano’s bones in the crypt, Theo was still a patient. And he even said that the FBI made doubly sure they DNA matched those bones to both Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and EJ.

So they have all the certainty in the world those are Stefano’s bones. Chad was up at the hospital to see Theo, but he did not tell them about what the FBI found out. So, that left it to his dad, Abe Carver (James Reynolds), to tell Theo about Stefano’s bones.

And later, Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Abe both agreed that the truth about Stefano’s role in Lexie’s death would be just too much for Theo to hear at this point. But I think it’s going to come out anyway, especially since I’m increasingly certain that his mom, Lexie, is the lady in the test tube that Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton)’s about to revive.

The Complex Bond Between Stefano DiMera and Theo Carver on DOOL

So, Days of Our Lives history tells us that Stefano and Theo did have a really close relationship. Stefano never had any issue about Theo being neurodivergent. He treated him with love, with kindness, and master chess player Stefano even taught Theo the game and they played whenever they could.

And that’s why he still loves the game even now was because of Stefano. So on the flip of that, Lexie tried to shield Theo from the dark side of Stefano. And Lexie often struggled with her own DiMera heritage and she occasionally engaged in sketchy behavior while defending Stefano and the DiMera family.

So, in the end, what Lexie had was a complex and loving but also a very strained relationship with her dad Stefano. She was good for him. I will say that Lexie brought out the softer side of crime boss Stefano.

Revisiting Lexie Carver’s Tragic Death in the DiMera Tunnels on Days

And later in her life, Lexie faked her death and she went into hiding. But then Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) abducted her, if you remember your history. And from there, he stashed Lexie down in the toxic, fume-filled, infamous underground DiMera tunnels for many, many months.

And despite Andre snatching her, Lexie was eventually rescued and she was reunited with the family. But she had already been exposed to the toxins for way too long. And sadly, that’s why Theo’s mom developed inoperable brain tumors that took her life. If you were watching back then, you may recall that Stefano felt personally responsible.

He felt a lot of deep guilt about Lexie’s illness that finally took her life. And if it weren’t for all the DiMera family schemes and Andre’s actions, obviously Lexie would never have been down in the tunnels to be exposed to the toxic fumes. So while Stefano didn’t directly cause Lexie’s death, he did bring Andre into their lives and those were DiMera tunnels. So he had an indirect hand in it.

Lexie Carver’s Legacy and the Secret of Her Final Forgiveness on Days of Our Lives

And in the end, Stefano got Lexie’s forgiveness before she died. She told Stefano that she loved him. And then Lexie passed away peacefully in Abe’s arms. That was June 20th, 2012. She was just 46 and she left behind obviously her loving husband Abe and her young son Theo.

Lexie and Abe had conceived Theo after a long period of infertility issues. And if you were watching then, you know she was a devoted, loving, and fiercely protective mom. Lexie and Abe both advocated for their autistic son, and they always gave Theo the best life they could.

And then in Lexie’s final weeks of life, she spent as much precious and meaningful time as she could with Theo and Abe. And of course, losing his mother took a toll on young Theo. But Abe and everybody else in the family made sure to keep Lexie’s memory alive for him.

Is Dr. Wilhelm Rolf Reviving Lexie Carver in the Secret Test Tube?

All these hints about Dr. Rolf’s human test subject in the tube absolutely point to Lexie being back to the land of the living at long last. I suspect Stefano had Lexie frozen, kept her in cryostasis, and tasked EJ and Rolf to find a way to resurrect her and restore her to life since felt responsible for her death.

And that way, Theo could eventually have his mom back. But before Lexie is resurrected, assuming it is her in the tube, Theo may finally learn the ugly truth about his mom’s death and Stefano’s role in it. Now, recently, Abe and Paulina were talking about Stefano, Lexie, and Theo.

And Abe was wondering aloud if he should tell Theo the truth about Stefano’s indirect role in Lexie’s death. But Paulina shut that down and she said it could be really damaging for Theo to hear that. Basically, nothing productive could come of it and they should just let Theo keep the good memories of Stefano and his good memories of Lexie. And Abe agreed.

Abe and Paulina Struggle to Keep the Truth From Theo Carver on DOOL

But we all know from watching soap operas that if somebody works that hard to keep a secret hidden, that means it’s going to come out sooner or later and in this case many years later. So far, Theo’s extended family and friends have kept quiet because a lot of people know exactly why Lexie got sick and died. And Theo may find out the truth soon.

And you never know, he might hear it directly from Lexie if EJ and Dr. Rolf succeed in bringing her back from the dead. If you remember, Theo was just nine when he lost his mom and then later Days of Our Lives aged his character up. But at the time that Lexie passed, Theo was just an elementary school kid. So, I personally think it should be left to Lexie to explain how she got the tumor that killed her.

Stefano DiMera’s Memorial Could Reveal Explosive Family Secrets on Days

But with Stefano’s upcoming memorial, anything is possible. I don’t think anybody would say something deliberately to hurt Theo, but it could slip out of someone’s mouth in a careless way, especially if things get contentious at the memorial.

You know, it could be Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) that spills the beans because he despised Stefano and he pretty much is ready to dance on his grave. Also, this week, Chad’s trying to get EJ and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) to play nice.

So, one of them could blurt out something at the memorial while bickering about the family. One way or another, Theo is going to learn the hard facts about Stefano and the role he played in Lexie’s illness and death.

And it could be EJ who tells his nephew that Stefano wanted to make things right for Theo and explain that he and Dr. Rolf have been working to bring Lexie back for Theo for many years.

Will Lexie Carver’s Return Heal or Tear Apart the DiMera Family on Days of Our Lives?

So, I think he may be initially angry at the role that Stefano played in him losing Lexie, but then Theo might actually be grateful if EJ and Dr. Rolf revive her on Stefano’s orders after all these years. EJ really cared about Lexie and he seems to care for Theo as well.

So, this could be a big family bonding moment or could be something explosive that rips the DiMeras apart. I think we’re going to find out sooner rather than later because it’s February sweeps which wraps up on the 25th of this month. I suspect we could see Lexie revived by then.
