Days of our Lives Recap: The 10 Million Reasons Chanel Likes Xander

The Days of our Lives recap for Wednesday, April 21, 2021, features a husband and wife scheming together, a complicated pregnancy, and a decision to travel overseas.

Days of our Lives Recap Highlight

Channel (Precious Way) wants money…and a divorce from Xander (Paul Telfer). Xander wants money…and a divorce from Chanel. Hey, looks like these two have more in common than they were initially led to believe!

And since they’re both talented scammers, they’ve decided to join forces and scam Paulina (Jackée Harry) out of $10 million. That way, once the divorce comes through, both parties will emerge $5 million richer than when they entered into (un)holy wedlock. It really is a win/win for everyone involved. Well, anyone who isn’t Paulina.

Baby Blues

A desperate Abigail (Marci Miller) wants to know – is Gwen (Emily O’Brien) pregnant, and does she intend to keep the baby? Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) doesn’t give her an answer per se, but her eyes told Abby exactly what she didn’t want to hear.

Meanwhile, Gwen was busy telling Chad (Billy Flynn) more of the same, but she also added that she didn’t expect him to contribute in any way. Which is too bad, because Chad is a lot of things – like a major jerk, and an adulterer, just to name a few – but he ain’t no deadbeat dad…and that is much to Abby’s chagrin.

Change of Address

An amnesia-stricken Ciara (Victoria Konefal) really, really likes Theo (Cameron Johnson). In fact, she wouldn’t mind moving to South Africa with him and finally pursuing a love relationship like she wanted back in circa 2017 but their timing was always off.

But Theo’s just a little cautious. After all, he would be taking advantage of a woman devoid of her complete faculties. But that’s something rather common in Salem – and even more so if you’re a member of the DiMera family.

If only they didn’t have to reckon with mean ole Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) and Claire (Isabel Durant). What a drag they are. How dare they expect Theo to keep his hands off a married lady and how can they possibly want Ciara to regain her memories? Talk about buzzkills! Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC.
