Days of our Lives revealed that Xander and Kate are working together to bring down DiMera, and we don’t hate it. These two ooze juicy soap entertainment, even if their plan is messy and will have lasting ramifications.
Key Takeaways
- Kate and Xander are a treat to watch.
- Their plan will leave several characters seething.
- DAYS fans have mixed feelings on this new dynamic duo.
The Curveball That Will Shake Things Up in Salem
Xander (Paul Telfer) and Kate (Lauren Koslow) working together was not on our 2026 bingo card, but we are so here for it. Just watching these two outcasts and slightly reformed villains plot to take down DiMera was beyond enjoyable. (Here’s why Xander is about to receive a warning, according to Days of our Lives spoilers for March 4).
DAYS, like all soaps, has so much drama. Even though Kate and Xander were plotting chaos, their banter was fun. They seriously make good allies that we never thought of putting together as a scheming duo.
The downside, though, is their plan to crush DiMera centers on Johnny (Carson Boatman, who recently dropped a new song), which means Kate’s going to ruffle some feathers. Roman (Josh Taylor), for one, won’t be thrilled with his wife using his grandson.
One fan on X was frustrated that Roman will be caught up in Kate’s plan and that she has no regard for him. “Roman has been nothing but good to Kate over the years.”
Speaking of using people, Johnny isn’t the only family member who’s in Kate’s web of lies. Kate and Xander are using Ari (Marissa Reyes) as a spy inside DiMera as part of their plot, but Kate’s great-granddaughter is in the dark.
When the truth comes out, Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) will be on the warpath, and Roman will have another reason to be furious with his wife. Will (Chandler Massey) will no doubt have words for his grandmother, too, for using his daughter in that way.
The fallout is just another reason why having Xander and Kate in cahoots is pure genius to us. These two are known for doing exactly what they want, regardless of the consequences, and it’s so entertaining.
Another fan on X echoed as much, writing, “Kate doing Kate things to her own is about the most interesting thing this show has had in weeks.”
Kudos to the writers for mixing things up by having Kate and Xander literally set up Johnny and Bonnie (Judi Evans), all to save Titan.
