Days of our Lives is delving into the past; specifically, revisiting John Black’s past as “The Pawn.” The tale kicked off with a cryptic twist when the duplicitous Konstantin suddenly recognized something in John’s eyes — a sure sign he once knew him. But, how and when? What happens next and which Salem players will be involved in this intriguing plot? Here’s what we know about DAYS’ big story.
John Black: The Rewrite
According to a behind-the-scene source, the past has been tweaked a tad for the sake of telling this exciting story. Viewers will learn some new things about Victor Kiriakis’s original plans for The Pawn. It involves Steve (Stephen Nichols), who, at that point in time, was a villain and The Pawn’s handler, taking him to Greece for a specific assignment. That assignment spiraled and led to a tragic outcome.
A Friendship Tested
Obviously, Steve has knowledge of everything that went down, since his memories of the past are intact. Yet, he’s chosen to keep the information from John (Drake Hogestyn) for decades, despite knowing how desperate John is to fill in those missing years of his life. Has it been to protect his (now) best friend (not to be outshone by his old best friend, Marcus), or is it out of shame for his part in the whole horrible fiasco? Either way, look for it to cause serious tension between the two men. The kind of tension that could test their friendship and pit them against each other.
Back to the Present
As things come to a head, Konstantin’s connection to it all will be revealed. And, the tragedy from John’s past as The Pawn – remember, back then he was a hired assassin – will rear its ugly head in the present. At that point, its effect on John, Steve, and their loved ones promises to be riveting.
