Next on DAYS
They thought they hated each other. Turns out Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) were mistaken about that. Now, they’re exploring what that might mean. Enemies with benefits? Friends with benefits? Or something more?
Meanwhile, Belle (Martha Madison) and Chad (Billy Flynn) are just friends, period. She’s coming off a disastrous — yet hot — fling with EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). He’s coming off a disastrous rebound relationship with the woman who pretended to be his dead wife. They make a pact to help each other move on. But with whom?
Let’s Make a Deal
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) falsely confessed to shooting EJ in order to protect the real little psycho, her precious daughter, Rachel (Alice Halsey). That’s just her most recent set of crimes.
But why should Rachel be punished for any of it? She feels bad, OK? Isn’t that punishment enough? Kristen pitches as much to Rafe (Galen Gering). And she’s got a little something to sweeten the deal. It involves her brother.
New Year, New Me
Whenever someone suggested that he might not be up to running the DiMera Enterprises, Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) would throw a temper tantrum, whining that he was a big boy who totes knows what he’s doing, and anyone who says otherwise is a big, meanie-pants ableist!!! Well, now Theo’s just spent some time locked up with his aunts and uncles, and we hope he’s realized he is nowhere close to being able to play in their league.
At the same time, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) has spent enough time dating Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) that the things she once thought were adorable are now getting on her nerves. So she tells him what they all are.
