She began the video by saying, “It’s Wednesday, February 14th, and I’m finishing my time as Connie for now. You’ve probably seen today’s episode, and I’m going to Bayview. Hopefully, they’ll visit me, and maybe I’ll run into other Salem residents there. My dream is for Connie to have therapy with Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall).”
Further about her last day, she said- “I wrote some ‘thank you’ notes and received a heartfelt note from Judi Evans (Bonnie). Also, Armando, my lovely hair stylist, gifted me a gluten-free cupcake, which was divine”. The actress mentioned that Jill, the photographer, took a picture of her in the Brady’s Pub which she always wanted. She mentioned Janet the Co-Executive producer of DOOL thanked her when she performed her last act which was with Elia. She called her last scenes funny because the scenes she filmed on the last day wasn’t the one that will air last, but the one before.”
Connie’s Last Scene on the Screen
In her last scenes, Connie faces a grim fate as the trail of murders is exposed. She was the murdered her ex-husband, Bobby Stein/Everett Lynch (Blake Berris). Not only this, but she also stabbed her boyfriend, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). Now as on the September 23 episode, all her crimes were exposed, commissioner Jada Hunter is ardent to put Connie behind the bar. She has prepared a tough case to imprison her for lifetime.
Though Jada aims to punish Connie by sending her off to jail, the last episode features a delusional Connie. She imagined Li Shin (Remington Hoffman) in the Salem Police Department interrogation room. In her imagination, Li Shin says that he has been arrested for helping her. So, Connie tells Li to stay quiet, she will fix everything. In her delusion Li goes on to express his faith in her because she’s so amazing. Then this imaginary conversation turns into a love confession between Li and Connie. Soon after she snaps back to reality and expresses her love for Li, she also begs him to not leave her. Jada, who is watching Connie in a delusional state, tells fellow Paulina that she will not go to jail but rather Bayview.
