Meetups, Secrets, Hook-ups, and Fights Take Over Salem
The sneak peek photos hint that drama is the name of the game on the hit Peacock soap for May 21. Paulina (Jackée Harry) and Lexie (Nikki Crawford) come face to face for the first time.
It’s not a pleasant meeting, as expected. Both women have a stern, serious look on their faces in the pictures because, let’s be honest, the stakes are high for them.
Abe (James Reynolds) has been struggling with a decision regarding Lexie and Paulina. DAYS spoilers teased that Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) pushes him to do just that. A photo of father and son at the Brady Pub appears to be Theo having that discussion with his father.
In other photos, Paulina and Abe are seen having a conversation at their home. Paulina has her hand on his chest in one picture, while another shows them filled with sadness. Abe seems confused in a different photo, and it could have to do with Paulina’s declaration in the DAYS preview video that she’s moving out.
Theo is one busy guy. Along with meeting with Abe, he had a run-in with his uncle EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) before heading to the hospital to visit Lexie. The mother-and-son duo has an emotional meeting, during which Theo gives her a big hug.
Other photos feature Anna (Leann Hunley) of all people meeting with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) at his office. Philip definitely wasn’t expecting Anna or the news she dropped on him that leaves Philip shocked.
All signs point to Anna spilling the beans to Philip that Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) double-crossed him and cost Titan the DiMera merger. Other photos in the Horton Town Square show Philip is furious, adding more fuel to the theory that Anna busts out Gabi.
Not only does he have a tense talk with Theo, but after Gabi plants a kiss on her man, Philip appears to confront her. In one photo, Philip has his hands on his hips, as if he’s looking for answers from Gabi.
Xander (Paul Telfer) is one in-demand guy. Hot on the heels of his sex injury with Kristen (Stacy Haiduk), he hops back in bed with Gwen (Emily Obrien). It seems they get a surprise, too, as water appears to come flooding down from the ceiling of the Salem Inn.
When he’s not with Gwen, Xander returns for more of Kristen. They share an intimate moment as Kristen pulls him close and then plants a kiss on him.
Things are happening at the DiMera mansion, too. EJ and Tony (Thaao Penghlis) engage in what looks like an unpleasant talk. Kristen and EJ also face off as their blame game and hatred for each other is off the charts.
One photo is of EJ coming into the mansion and being caught off guard. Could it be that he finds Kristen looking at something she isn’t supposed to be?
Tony and Anna are also spotted in town square not looking very happy with each other either. The couple exchanges heated glances but it’s nothing compared to the tense conversation they have at the mansion. It sounds like Tony learns what Anna did with Philip and he’s not thrilled with her news.
Last but not least, Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and Gabi run into each other in Horton Town Square. There is no love lost between these two women, and one thing fans can count on from them is fireworks.
