Johnny DiMera’s Trauma

Let’s start off with Johnny, who was saved from Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) death trap.

Thanks to Javi Hernandez’s (Al Calderon) quick thinking, Johnny was saved just in time.

Now in the hospital, Johnny will get some TLC from Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens).

For now, Chanel hasn’t told him about the mammogram results, or the need for additional testing.

Right now, everyone thinks Sophia has gone on the run.

So, Chanel might worry that Sophia could come back to finish Johnny off.

Grim Discovery

Over at the bridge, Sophia’s backpack and other things are found. The shoes will likely be located as well. Then, there will be Sophia’s body.

When it surfaces, it will show she had a head wound from a rock. T

he authorities will probably assume she hit her head on the way down during her suicide.

However, fans know that Kristen killed the girl. I’m not sure if this makes her a villain or a hero.

Once Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) learns of her daughter’s fate, she will be inconsolable. The lady could also assign blame.

Leo Stark’s Panic

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Monday, May 4 reveal that Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) will have heard about the methane exposure at the apartment building.

Thank goodness Trey DiMera (Joseph Ihlenf and Jordan Perdue ) and Chanel weren’t there.

While Johnny is in the hospital, Javi was affected, too.

After rescuing Johnny and checking the other bedrooms for Trey and Chanel, Javi collapses at the hospital.

Javi will likely be okay as a recast has just been announced.

However, Leo will want to check on the man he still loves.

Javi might be dating a mystery firefighter, but Leo is right there.

So, this could give them a chance to reconnect.

Cat Greene’s Update

Over with Cat, she will have an update for Rafe. Is this about EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), or Sophia?

EJ DiMera vs Kristen DiMera

As for Kristen DiMera’s (Stacy Haiduk) killer actions, she will go back to the mansion as if nothing has happened.

That’s pretty cold, even if she was saving Salem from a psychopath.

When Kristen gets home, she will have another altercation with EJ. Could he suspect the truth?
