DAYS HEARTBREAK! Paulina Price Heard Abe Carver Say “I Love You” to Lexie and Knew Her Marriage Was Already Over

PAULINA PRICE STOOD IN THE HOSPITAL DOORWAY AND WATCHED HER MARRIAGE END

TL;DR: Paulina Price stood in the doorway of a hospital room on Days of Our Lives and listened to her husband Abe Carver tell his newly resurrected first wife Lexie Carver he loved her. The marriage was over in that moment. Paulina already knew it. EJ DiMera told her weeks ago. There is no hope here, and Paulina Price is the only person in Salem with the dignity to admit it.

The Moment It All Ended

Paulina Price walked to the door of her husband’s newly resurrected wife’s hospital room on Days of Our Lives and froze without going inside. Abe Carver was sitting at the bedside of Lexie Carver, the wife everyone had buried, the wife everyone had grieved, the wife who had just opened her eyes for the first time in years and said his name.

“Abe?”

He said yes.

“I love you,” Lexie said.

“I love you,” Abe answered.

Paulina did not say a word. She did not make a sound. She turned around and walked away with the dignity of a woman who has been mentally rehearsing this exact scene since EJ DiMera showed her Lexie was in the pod.

There is no hope for this marriage. Paulina knew that the moment Abe answered. The audience knew it the moment Lexie opened her eyes. The only person who has not yet had to face it is Abe Carver, and he is about to find out.

Is there any hope left for Paulina Price and Abe Carver, or did Lexie Carver opening her eyes end the marriage on the spot? Send your hottest takes to [email protected] and we just might publish them!

Paulina Knew. Paulina Carried It Alone.

Here is the part that is going to haunt Salem. But it will especially haunt Abe Carver.

Paulina Price has known about Lexie for weeks. EJ told her the moment EJ realized he could weaponize the information. Paulina sat with it. Paulina did not tell Abe. Paulina admitted as much to Theo Carver today when he confronted her, which means Theo knows, and Abe is going to find out.

She kept the lie because she loved her husband and could not bring herself to be the one who detonated his life. She kept the lie because she had hope, however small, that Lexie would not wake up and her marriage could survive. She kept the lie because telling Abe his dead wife was alive was a death sentence for her own marriage, and she was not ready to sign it herself.

She was right to be afraid. The second Lexie opened her eyes, Paulina lost a husband. The second Paulina kept the secret, she also lost the chance to lose him with her dignity intact. She is going to lose Abe twice. Once to Lexie. Once to her own silence.

Abe Carver Cannot Reject Lexie and Everyone Knows It

Let us be specific about why there is no hope for Abe and Paulina, because this is not a triangle Abe gets to navigate.

Abe Carver loved Lexie before he ever met Paulina. He raised a son with her. He grieved her when everyone thought she was dead. He carried her memory through everything that came after, and the only reason he stopped openly mourning her is because Paulina convinced him there was room in his heart for someone new. There was. Until the original woman walked back into the room.

The vow Abe is going to honor is the one he made first. That is who Abe Carver is. He is the most honorable man in Salem, and the most honorable men in Salem always go home to the wife they thought they buried.

The Verdict

There is no version of this story where Abe chooses Paulina Price.

Lexie woke up speaking his name. Abe said the words back. The marriage is over and the only reason it has not been officially called yet is that Abe is still in the hospital room and has not yet realized his wife was standing in the doorway listening to every word.

When he finds out, he will be sorry. He will apologize. He will try to explain. He will not leave Lexie. Paulina will not ask him to.

There is no hope. There is only how gracefully Salem watches a woman who has done nothing wrong lose everything she built.

Did Paulina Price already lose her husband to Lexie Carver, and should Abe Carver have known better than to keep his old vows in the same room as his new ones? Sound off below because this comment section is going to be a lot!
