Pushing for Answers

Let’s start off with Javi, who has returned to Salem. However, the man isn’t too thrilled to see Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart).

Corporate Strategizing

Over with Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow) and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer), they will continue to strategize.

However, all signs point to their plan blowing up, not just for them, but the others involved.

Chanel Dupree-DiMera Frustrated

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Thursday, April 16 reveal that Chanel will get frustrated. Fans watched as they finally were able to get some passion.

However, then Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) said he felt a lump.

It seems each time that JANEL try to get passionate, there is someone or something that stops them.

Is Johnny really feeling a lump, or is his mind playing tricks on him?

Johnny has been worried about the cancer coming back ever since the pregnancy was confirmed.

Brady Black’s Bonding

Over with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), he will continue spending quality time with Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey).

The two are getting even closer and have already engaged in passion.

However, fans can’t help but wonder if there is still a chance for Sarah and Xander. After all, there have been moments where they really connected over their daughter despite the divorce.

Kristen DiMera’s Scheme

As for Kristen, she has a devious scheme to make people pay for Rachel Black’s (Lorelei Olivia Mote) suffering.

Kristen has coerced Sophia into the plan, and will explain the details.

However, we know from a weekly preview clip that Sophia agrees to do Kristen’s bidding.

The girl just needs a “few additional resources.”

Kristen might also warn Sophia to play nice so nobody suspects anything. The last thing Kristen needs is for Sophia to ruin her vengeful plan.

At the same time, Kristen is in the wrong here, but just refuses to admit it.
