Days of Our Lives: 5 Pivotal Moments From The Past Mind-Blowing Week

Soap opera stories either crawl or fly by, meaning that sometimes we have to miss big developments. Never fear, Soap Hub is here to fill you in on what you missed last week on Days of Our Lives.

Resurrections Galore
The Chicago hotel that Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) sent Jack (Matthew Ashford) — and tagalongs Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) and Eric (Greg Vaughn) — to was indeed the holding place of Nicole and Holly.

It’s just too bad that they’ve made a run for it! However, it’s not a total loss seeing as how Mayor Devereaux and his former missus headed back to Salem with Dr. Rolf (William Utay) who managed to not only resuscitate Vivian Alamain (Robin Strasser) but restore her memories without the life-threatening brain tumor that nearly killed Will Horton.

It came as quite a shock to Stefan (Brandon Barash) when he received a telephone call from his mother — after all, he had just nearly blown away her would-be murderer, Kate Roberts – but ever the dutiful son he sent Ben to retrieve her.

Meanwhile, Eric tracked down Nicole’s (Arianne Zucker) new location and after he knocked out her bodyguard the couple was finally reunited.

A Matter of Life and Death
Gabi (Camila Banus) just didn’t buy Julie’s (Susan Seaforth Hayes) claim that she was suffering a heart attack. After all, it’s a case of once bitten twice shy since the scheming granny faked a chest aliment to best Gabi in the past.

But Gabi wasn’t a cruel woman so just before she trotted off she gave Julie some advice: take acting lessons!

Ciara (Victoria Konefal) and Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) rescued Julie and rushed her to Salem University Hospital but after an examination by Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) the prognosis was grim.

The attack had left Julie’s heart too weak to properly circulate the blood throughout the rest of her body. And since Julie’s age precludes her from getting on the transplant list it’s now a matter of when — not if — she will pass on.

Baby Blues
Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) had been feeling quite run down as of late and then she starts to violently vomit in the early hours of the morning, She’s sure it’s a virus but when Xander (Paul Telfer) mentioned she might be, pregnant Sarah hightailed it to the hospital for a blood test. And just like that, it’s official: Sarah is an expectant mother.

Grave Concerns
According to Vivian, “a cat has nine lives but a bitch only has one.” So that’s terrible news for Kate (Lauren Koslow) whom Vivian corners at the Salem park and then forces into the nearby graveyard.

Vivian positions her prey in front of a freshly dug plot and fires a shot. The injured Kate fell into the hole and a giddy Vivian began to shovel in the dirt.

An Overreaction
Now determined to rid his granddaughter Ciara of her serial killer paramour, Victor (John Aniston) had Xander kidnap Ben and bring him back to the mansion. When the young man refused to stop seeing Ciara — and dared to refer to the Kiriakis patriarch as “Gramps” — Victor ordered Xander to kill.

But since Xander is trying to do better Victor had to take the matter into his own hands — literally — and began to strangle Ben with a necktie (a little on the nose their eh Victor?). Days of our Lives airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
