Days of our Lives Recap: Nicole Stunned Brady (Almost) Silent!

The Days of our Lives recap for Friday, May 3 features a guilt-ridden DA, a scandalous frenemy, and a desperate manhunt for a little girl.

A Dirty DA!
The search for Holly took a few twists and turns. Hope (Kristen Alfonso) got Ted (Gilles Marini) to interview Hector, which was a massive mistake. The DA lied and said the cartel member had the child and wanted a deal to get out of the country.

Of course, Rafe was right about Ted being a big liar. Heck, he even paid Xander (Paul Telfer) another visit. The face-off ended in a shocking twist with Ted swearing to make things right.

Unfortunately, this was all little comfort to Nicole (Arianne Zucker). She was worried sick about her daughter. Sadly, there was little she could do but sit, wait, and be the center of attention.

You’re Alive?!
Oh, and an attention getter she was! Brady was shocked to see her alive and then had to take in everything that had happened to Holly.

Accidental Meddling
Meanwhile, Marlena (Deirdre Hall) got an earful when she tried to check on Will. Instead of spending time with her grandson, she ended up being a shoulder for Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). The young doc was an emotional wreck over Eric’s confession, Nicole’s homecoming, and Holly’s kidnapping.

Marlena was more than sympathetic but had one little issue — Sarah is staying with Rex. Why be with the guy if she was ready to leave him for his brother?

Seduction Games
Away from all the Holly drama, Gabi (Camila Banus) was creating her own. She spent her afternoon daydreaming about destroying Stefan and her evening putting those plans into action.

She baited Stefan (Brandon Barash) back into bed. They no sooner came up for air than Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) arrived home!
