Lami is a regular part of the action this coming week, starting on Monday, April 6, when his character, Izaiah, supports his brother on his anniversary.
On Tuesday, it’s a meet-the-mom situation when Izaiah and Eva (Ambyr Michelle) have lunch with his mom, Darlene. Monique Mosee plays the matriarch of the Hawthorne family. Additionally, Jasmine Burke and Najah Jackson will be on hand as June and Samantha, respectively. According to the teasers, the mother and daughter are in for a rough week of fighting and conflict.
Dominique Madison is set to make Hayley’s life even more difficult when Lynette has a brand-new blackmail demand for her so-called pal. This all goes down on Wednesday, April 8.
Jordi Vilasuso’s back as Grayson on April 9 when the lab tech stonewalls a frustrated Jacob (Jibre Hordges). Meanwhile, Mosee returns as Darlene, who comforts Naomi (Arielle Prepetit), her daughter-in-law. And Lami’s Izaiah hits a rough patch with Eva.
Thursday’s action continues with more drama between Jackson and Burke’s characters. There should also be scenes at the police precinct. That’s where we’ll see Malachi Malik and Darryl W. Handy as Chief of Police Elon Hawthorne and Detective Marcel Malone.
Finally, on Friday, April 10, Kenjah is back as Dr. Madison Montgomery. Her character will learn some bad news about her job. In other news, Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) gets into it with two characters: Maurice P. Kerry’s Randy and Angela Fairley’s Deanna, who is Vanessa’s (Lauren Buglioli) daughter.
