Days of Our Lives Custody Battles and Household Tensions
Diving in on Wednesday, January twenty first, it’s custody listening to day for Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), Jennifer Horton (Cady McClain), and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford). That is clearly about Thomas DiMera (Cary Christopher) and Charlotte DiMera (Olivia & Oakley Rondou). The three adults are assembly with a mediator to try to kind it out.
In the event you bear in mind, the final time that they had a listening to, Chad had been kidnapped. EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) had not been kidnapped but, so he was capable of get a continuance. And now we’re in mediation. In the meantime, over on the Horton home, Thomas is confiding in Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) that he seems like everyone’s mad at everyone else within the household.
Thomas thinks it’s all his fault, so Jeremy is there to consolation and encourage him. Don’t inform me Jeremy’s not modified. I imply, clearly, he has a horrible background, however except they’re gaslighting him, I do really feel like he has actually modified. Plus, I really like the actor.
Julie’s Bereavement Group and New Salem Romances
Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) hosts her first bereavement ebook membership, and coming to it are Doug Williams (Invoice Hayes), Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers), and Marlena Evans (Deidre Corridor). However Julie is definitely going to have Doug facilitate as a result of Julie will not be certain that she is in a spot the place she’s prepared to guide a gaggle on bereavement as a result of she’s very a lot nonetheless in it.
Plus, Felicity Greene (Kennedy Garcia) listens as her large sister, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), opens as much as her. Felicity might ask why Chad hasn’t been round and what’s happening with him and Cat.
On Thursday, January twenty second, we have now bought love within the air for Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) as they get flirty on an evening out in town. However Philip must be careful as a result of Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) has his eye on Gabi.
Julie will get Jeremy to open up. He might share his ideas about Stephanie Johnson’s (Abigail Klein) engagement and all of the stuff happening concerning the letters and the accusations. Julie did stroll up on Jeremy whereas he was wanting on the Spectator on-line with their engagement announcement. I don’t know if Jeremy’s actually jealous or if he’s simply bored with being accused of issues.
Stalker Traps and Investigations in Salem
Theo and Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux (Casey Moss) do some bonding on Thursday, and Theo must be out of the hospital very quickly. He’s been in there because the DiMera kidnapping. I do marvel if he’s going to inform JJ that he’s bought a bit crush on his ex, Gabi.
Plus, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) spends time with Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). They’re out doing stuff, hoping to lure out the stalker. Steve’s sort of trailing after Alex, but in addition at one level, they’re going to only be hanging out within the Brady Pub. They’re doing the bait factor.
Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) can also be out with Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu). They’re performing some alleged marriage ceremony errands, however actually it’s extra bait. So, Jada is looking out for Stephanie’s stalker. In fact, they’re all working beneath the idea it’s Jeremy. It appears to be like like one thing occurs, however we all know that it’s Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey). We all know he’s lurking in Salem, able to get his twisted palms on Stephanie.
Jada’s Proof and Accusations In opposition to Jeremy
Then on Friday, January twenty third, Alex and Stephanie are rattled by one thing that crops up. I ponder if their stalker is closing in on them. They might see one other picture posted of them like they did on-line once they realized this individual is in Salem and really near us.
Jada updates Steve on what she came upon. Then Julie is there supporting and standing by Jeremy as he faces accusations from Jada. Jada exhibits up on the Horton home and says she has proof that it’s Jeremy stalking and threatening Stephanie.
Jeremy is busy educating in school, hanging out with Thomas, hanging out with Julie, and taking part in Scrabble, so he might have an alibi. I hope so. Jada, although, has drunk the Kool-Help and purchased into the frilly assumptions that Steve, Alex, and Stephanie have cooked up about Jeremy. We’ll see what this proof is that Jada insists she’s bought. Ultimately, Jeremy could also be responsible, however to date, I’m not getting responsible vibes.
February Sweeps and the DiMera Drama Escalates
Belle Black (Martha Madison) is there for her mother as Marlena opens up. I feel she might be going to inform her daughter that she bought a clear invoice of well being from Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). The Lyme illness is doing rather well, all taken care of. I do know Marlena can also be apprehensive about Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) and Brady. Plus, Chad is interrogated by Jennifer on Friday. I ponder if she needs to verify he’s actually performed with Cat.
All proper, the week of January twenty sixth via the thirtieth: We have now February sweeps kicking off on Thursday the twenty ninth. Although they aren’t on a community platform that does Nielsen ranking intervals, they nonetheless do the sweeps. It’s cleaning soap custom.
Beginning on Thursday, issues ought to actually decide up the tempo. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is dropping endurance with Dimitri as a result of he has minimize off her money stream and her bank cards. Leo Stark’s (Greg Rikaart) crush, Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon), has left city after he informed Marlena to not file their marriage certificates. These ex-besties, Gwen and Leo, may match collectively to take care of Dimitri as a result of he screwed up each their lives.
I do suspect Gwen and Leo are on the cusp of a breakthrough and will regain their finest friendship in the event that they bond over operating Dimitri out of city or burying him. I feel Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) would most likely take Dimitri off their palms.
Stephanie’s Stalker and EJ DiMera’s Return to Days of our Lives
Additionally subsequent week, Stephanie’s stalker will get extra aggressive, and we all know quickly she goes to be kidnapped from College Hospital. Owen Kent goes to be revealed when Steve thinks that it’s Jeremy. He’s tracked down. We’ll have to attend and see if Owen is a lone wolf working alone or if he has a co-conspirator, as a result of we’ve seen the stalker speaking on-line with any person.
EJ is again from Europe quickly. He went to Italy to see his daughter, however he’s going to be again to Salem furious that Gwen dragged Dimitri again there completely towards their plans. Gwen’s going through a divorce. She’s dropping all the cash EJ was promised for the clinic. And now there’s kidnapping stuff happening.
Rafe and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) are headed to Alamania quickly. They’ll be searching for solutions concerning the CCTV footage that was being broadcast from the crypt watching the kidnapped DiMeras. Additionally they need to affirm whereas they’re there that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) actually is lifeless. Rafe has made that promise to Gabi to look into it and ensure.
I don’t imagine it. I haven’t heard something about Brandon Barash coming again. So far as I do know, he has been in Nashville this entire time doing music stuff and touring with the Day Gamers band, however I wish to have him again as Stefan, so fingers crossed.
Brady and Sarah’s Romance vs. Kristen’s Interference on Days of our Lives
Javi left city, so Leo has to resolve what to do. By the way in which, Javi can be again. Al Calderon’s ultimate episode will not be till Might, so he’s not gone for good this time round. They’ve additionally recast the function of Javi. So even after Might, we’re nonetheless going to have Leo’s “not-husband” round.
Brady will get nearer to Sarah. They’re going to be getting intimate quickly. Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), after all, is having a match about it whereas saying that she realizes they’ll’t be collectively. She’s saying that in a single breath, and within the subsequent breath, she is accusing Brady of rubbing Sarah in her face.
Since they’re exes, it’s sort of not Kristen’s enterprise. I feel Brady has had nearly sufficient of this. He needs Sarah. He hasn’t been with Kristen in very long time. Because the therapist, Dr. Gregory, mentioned, you may’t let Rachel management your love life as a result of it’s labored earlier than. You may’t give this energy to her.
Days of our Lives Forged Departures: Chad and Thomas Exit Salem
Gwen’s going to pounce on Xander Prepare dinner (Paul Telfer) quickly, however that received’t final lengthy. Plus, Chad and Thomas could also be off-screen very quickly. We don’t have the ultimate air date but, however Thomas DiMera has revealed that he has three episodes left ranging from the one on Wednesday the twenty first.
He must be wrapped by late January or early February, and we must always see Chad exiting about the identical time as a result of Billy Flynn and Cary Christopher left virtually on the identical time. In fact, Billy Flynn went over to Days of Our Lives and took a giant function there, and Cary Christopher has a job on an Amazon collection.
