What to Watch
The poker game in Monte Carlo is obviously a must-see. It will decide if Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) can save Titan and also introduces DAYS fans to Sami’s (Alison Sweeney) fiancé, the infamous Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti). Sydney (Sydney Malakeh) being in Dante’s poker game makes the game more entertaining and leads us to believe she’s more tangled in his shady web than either of her parents knows.
Philip gets some kind of win because he and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) celebrate. Will it be enough to save Titana and the Kiriakis estate before it’s too late?
Another don’t miss is the mystery surrounding Dominic Marino. EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) wants answers on him because he’s the buyer for the Kiriakis estate, while Chad (Conner Floyd) and Belle (Martha Madison) just learned Dominic is connected to their chess set investigation.
Something tells us that Dominic and Dante are one in the same. The timing of Dante popping up and all the talk of Dominic just seems way too suspicious and soapy.
Xander (Paul Telfer), Sarah (Linsey Godfrey), and Brady (Eric Martsolf) working together is intriguing. This love triangle is all over the place, personally, yet they all find a way to ignore those feelings for a common goal: taking down EJ. Sarah and Xander reflecting on their past together should be good. They can’t make it work, but they can’t quit each other either.
Lastly, Marlena (Deidre Hall) opening up to Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) has our attention. The mystery is interesting enough, but it’s watching Hayes and Hall together that makes the Julie and Marlena scenes must-see TV.
