A death certificate for Vivian Alamain has been filed in her home country of Alamania on Days of Our Lives. Rafe Hernandez and Jada Hunter discovered the document, while suspicions point to Dimitri von Leuschner for possible foul play. A gravestone marked with flowers has also appeared.
Rafe Hernandez, played by Galen Gering, and Jada Hunter, played by Elia Cantu, recently learned of the death certificate during their investigation into Vivian Alamain's disappearance. Vivian, portrayed by Louise Sorel, and her manservant Ivan Marius, played by Ivan G’Vera, went missing after visiting Stefan DiMera’s grave. ISA agent Andrew Donovan, played by Colton Little, named Dimitri von Leuschner, played by Peter Porte, as the prime suspect due to his presence in Alamania and past conflicts with Vivian. Dimitri had been suspected of kidnapping Vivian and Ivan, but Donovan shifted focus after the certificate emerged. Earlier, Dimitri was cleared in a separate DiMera family kidnapping case after DNA and fingerprints were found at a house he located via Zillow, confirming his account. Leo Stark, played by Greg Rikaart, who is back in Salem recovering from a concussion, reported seeing a mystery man digging near Stefan DiMera’s grave—played by Brandon Barash—while keeping watch in drag attire for Vivian and Ivan. Vivian has a history of apparent deaths on the show. In 2018, she was shot during a struggle with Kate Roberts and revived via a serum linked to Dr. Wilhelm Rolf. In 2020, she faked a heart attack while in custody after attempting to shoot Lani Price at her wedding. These incidents highlight Vivian's pattern of evading finality through medical deceptions or loyal assistance from Ivan.
