Key Takeaways

  • Stephanie and Alex’s troubled marriage heads toward a breaking point as Theo complicates matters.
  • EJ faces serious consequences as his schemes involving Holly begin catching up with him.
  • Johnny’s confession could devastate Chanel and trigger a major family fallout.
  • Ari faces a moral dilemma as another dangerous Salem secret threatens to surface.

Marriage Implodes

Let’s begin by discussing Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson).

The couple has been struggling ever since the kidnapping. Joy Wesley’s (AlexAnn Hopkins) timing in her confession didn’t help matters either. 

Now to top it off, Joy needs Alex’s help with practically everything because of her medical condition. 

Moving forward, Stephanie will turn to Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews). It doesn’t help that Alex has already brought up Theo once already.

It was totally innocent that time, but next time it might not be. If you are going to get accused of things you didn’t do, you might as well embrace it. So, don’t expect this marriage to last much longer. 

EJ DiMera’s Consequences

Over with EJ, he will likely get questioned by the police. Even if there isn’t much proof of what he did to Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis), she has already confronted him.

Plus, with all the other wicked webs that EJ has woven, his downfall is coming soon. Will it be prison, death, or something else? For some reason, I’m getting the feeling that EJ will go on the “run” aka hide in the DiMera tunnels.

Family Feud

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that we could see Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) finally find out what her husband has been up to. While Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) never meant any harm, he also covered EJ’s tracks. 

The question is will Chanel forgive Johnny for what he’s done? Even with chemo and two babies to take care of, Chanel just might go her own way.

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect next week, Ari Horton (Vico Escorcia) could find herself facing a moral dilemma. We might see what Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) plans to do about her mission. 

Also, can Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) save the Kiriakis company and estate? Honestly, do any fans really care about this storyline?

I sure don’t. In my opinion, let it fall. Sometimes, the rich need a reality check and a good whipping to get their heads screwed on straight.
