Big Surprise

Let’s start off with Joy, who returned at the end of the episode on Friday, April 24. When Monday airs, expect Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) to be blindsided.

Joy will announce that she’s back in Salem. The only reason I can think of why her first stop would be Alex’s apartment is to tell him about their baby.

Surprisingly, Joy doesn’t seem to have the baby with her. I wonder if Nancy Wesley (Patrika Darbo) and Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) know about the child. In any case, why is Joy showing up now?

Stephanie Johnson’s Competition

Meanwhile, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) have a friendly competition.

Now, I’m not sure if this is a typo in the spoilers.

We know Brady and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) have been getting passionate after room rage fun.

Maybe that’s who they meant instead of Stephanie.

Of course, it’s also possible that Brady and Stephanie get competitive at the shooting range with Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols).

Ari Horton Rejected

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Monday, April 27 reveal that Ari tries to make a move on Liam Selejko (Hank Northop).

However, he pushes her away once again.

This might leave Ari confused, but Liam is really trying to look out for her.

Liam is the type of guy where problems always seem to find him.

If anything happened to Ari, Liam would never forgive himself.

Unless he explains this thoroughly, though, Ari might just get mad and storm off!

Holly Jonas Baited

While Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) is waiting on further instructions from Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), she will cause more trouble

. The young lady will bait Holly.

Fans might recall that Sophia told Tate Black (Leo Howard) that Holly wished she was dead.

While Tate warned Sophia to stay away from the blonde, the manipulator is likely going to push the girl’s buttons.

If Holly strikes out, even if instigated, it could look very different to everyone else. Sophia is a master at that.

Gabi Hernandez Accepts

As for Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), she takes Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) up on his Gabi Chic offer.

However, it’s never wise to mix business with pleasure, so stay tuned!
