Leo Stark’s Choice

Let’s start off with Leo, who married Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon), but didn’t spend the night with his new husband.

Once Dimitri showed up, Leo insisted he still chose Javi. However, Javi feels that Leo needs some time to really analyze his feelings for Dimitri. For now, both slept alone on their wedding night. However, Leo does find a way to prove his love to Javi.

Chanel Dupree DiMera’s Fierce Stance

Over with Chanel, she is pregnant, but it’s high-risk. It could also hide the cancer coming back. Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) doesn’t think the pregnancy is a good idea, especially with them already having the adopted baby. However, Chanel feels this baby is a miracle and she has no intention of getting an abortion.

Xander Cook Kiriakis Lashes Out

Days of Our Lives spoilers for tomorrow’s episode reveal that Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) will lash out at Brady Black (Eric Martsolf).

While Brady will get fired, Xander could get backlash from others, including Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers).

Brady was talking earlier about maybe trying to find something else. So, while Maggie could compel Xander to reverse the firing. However, Brady might tell him he’s not interested in coming back.

Sarah Horton Opens Up

As for Sarah, she will open up to Maggie. Fans know that the redhead busted Brady and Sarah on New Year’s Eve. While she quietly walked away, Maggie could worry that this cohabitation agreement might not be such a good idea after all.

Dimitri von Leuschner’s Leverage

Fans will also see Dimitri get the upper hand on Gwen. The young man has claimed he was kidnapped and is pointing the finger at Gwen. However, will he actually end up finding some sort of proof?

In any case, Dimitri will want Gwen to do his bidding. That could cause some major problems with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and his plans. Not to mention that if Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) takes Kristen DiMera’s (Stacy Haiduk) offer, EJ’s problems could just get worse, so stay tuned!
