Days of our Lives Recap: A Tall, Strange Tale of Two Kristen DiMeras

The Days of our Lives recap for Friday, November 12, 2021, features two actresses taking on the same character, a friendship broken, a marriage repaired, and one very dirty District Attorney.

Days of our Lives Recap Highlights

On DAYS, one has to expect the unexpected. It probably wasn’t much of a surprise that John Black (Drake Hogestyn) and Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) were able to work in tandem to free Marlena Evans Black (Deidre Hall) from Satan’s grip, but did you expect the Dark One to hop on over into Susan?

And did you expect it to decide the only way to sever the bond between Marlena and John was to get the latter to cheat…with Kristen DiMera…played by OG performer Eileen Davidson? Yeah, us either.

Especially since Kristen 2.0 (otherwise known as the Kristen played by Stacy Haiduk) was busy eavesdropping on a very telling conversation between Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) and Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien); something about a purloined million dollars, and the fact that Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) is the love of Gwen’s life.

DAYS Recap: Makeups and Breakups

With the passage of time, and the benefit of hindsight, Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) has reached the conclusion that Xander isn’t exactly the best friend a man could ask for – though, as Xander so helpfully (cruelly?) pointed out, he might be the only type of friend that Jack deserved. It’s not like Jack was ever a paragon of virtue.

Meanwhile, Abigail Deveraux DiMera (Marci Miller) decided to throw caution to the wind and forgive Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) all his trespasses…because he’ll never again be a jealous jerk or a dismissive spouse; DiMera men learn from their mistakes!

DOOL Recap: Let’s Talk About

Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) is desperately seeking John. Luckily, he’s got Kayla Brady Johnson (Mary Beth Evans), who doesn’t have any qualms about breaking HIPPA laws in order to tell him everything he wants to know.
