My friend missed Solaire and didn't get the soapstone...

He apparently talked to Solare 1 time, didn't get the sign and then left. Now I want to summon him but he says Solaire is not on the balcony he should be, nor is he at the Sunlight Altar. Is he screwed out of the soapstone now???

It drops from killing him.
So pretty much, you're going to have to go to NG+ to get it, because nobody should kill Solaire.

Uhh, even if he was to try to kill him, how could he if he can't find Solaire?
Otherwise, I think you'll run into him next in Anor Londo. Then at the sunlight alter later.
SOOO
You might wanna just have him start over.

I mean, you can still get it, you just missed the first oppertunity to. You have to wait until Anor Londo now, and since I've never missed Solaire before, I don't know if you'll have to kill him there or not.
Kinda sucks, but hey, it's a game where both actions and inaction has consequences. The white soapstone being missable is a little annoying, but missing Solaire is pretty rare I gotta say, and being able to miss stuff at all is kinda rare in games. Not just nowadays, but in general.
So, make sure you explore more thouroughly in future, don't expect to get everything in a single playthrough, and forgive the soapstone being so easy to miss, as co-oping specifically with friends in an organized manner was not intented in the original version of the game and the Password system from DS3 was just kind of shoved in after the fact in the remake.
The Soapstone being missable was absolutely not a big deal when being able to co-op with specific people wasn't an option. Moving the item/Solaire would just bother people for changing the game.

My friend spoke to Solaire one time and then left, according to him. Meanwhile the second dialogue is what gives you the option to do co-op. "Why would I talk to him a second time?" he says... this man has played through DS3 with me, I don't know what to say for him lol.

Oh and I suffered with DSCM and trying to co-op with a friend in the original, believe me... I didn't even know missing the soapstone was possible either. I guess we'll find out if Solaire must die.

Well, at least after a playthrough of DS1, he has a whole new game's worth of dialogue he's never heard in DS3 if he replays it again, talking to everyone multiple times, so that might be fun! :P
