Optimistic Feelings

Let’s start off with Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) and Gabi. Both women will feel optimistic about their blossoming romances. However, there will be complications.

For Jada, she will have another date with Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews). While on the date, Theo starts daydreaming about Gabi, though!

Over in Miami, Gabi and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) will get even closer. However, it’s only going to be a matter of time before Philip finds out about Gabi’s secret!

Rita Lesley Grilled

Over with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), he will have a chat with his devious assistant, Rita. The woman will be asked her thoughts about Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord).

While EJ likes Cat, there is something bothering him. It might be questions about the Italian clinic, or EJ might be suspicious. Rita is pretty perceptive, although she does tend to go too far. So, Cat’s little scheme could be at risk and she might not even know it.

Rafe Hernandez’s Bombshell

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Friday, February 20 reveal that Rafe will deliver a bombshell to Gabi. Fans know that there was suspicion that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) didn’t really sign those divorce papers.

So, maybe Rafe’s analysts have their final report. 

Gabi will learn that she is entitled to part of the DiMera pie. She is no longer Stefan’s ex-wife, but his widow. So, that might complicate things for the entire DiMera family!

Leo Stark’s Encounter

After helping Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) escape, Leo and his former flame will arrive in Alamania. However, they will receive a harsh welcome. This might be Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) or it could be Ivan. 

Ivan Marais’ Clean-Up

It seems that Ivan will be back on our screens. The man, who is Vivian’s henchman, will be anxious to tie up loose ends.

However, could Leo and Dimitri end up complicating Ivan’s plans? Will they just happen to find a very much still alive Stefan? 

Maybe there is a reason why Gabi is having so much trouble moving on. In her heart, she might believe Stefan isn’t really dead, just like she did last time.
