What to Watch
First and foremost, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) finding Sophia (Rachel Boyd) is a must-see. There are so many questions surrounding this that will no doubt lead to a major weekly cliffhanger. Is it really Sophia? Has Kristen known all along that Sophia was alive? Whatever the case, this new development is very intriguing.
Johnny (Carson Boatman) turning on EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) is also don’t miss. Considering Jada (Elia Cantu) questions EJ, it’s a safe bet that what Johnny confessed to Rafe (Galen Gering) this week gets into her hands. Chanel (Raven Bowens) forcing her husband to make promises also makes it seem like Johnny goes through with doing the right thing and taking down his father.
The fact that Dante (Franco LoPresti) shows up in Salem to surprise Sydney (Sydney Malakeh) has our attention. Dante’s timing is very interesting, considering his connection to Dominic, whose name seems to be coming out of everyone’s mouths in Salem these days.
Joy’s (AlexAnn Hopkins) plan to win Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) away from Stephanie (Abigail Klein) by faking her paralysis unraveling is not to be missed. Alex manages to get quality time with Stephanie, while Joy’s lies are closer to being exposed. Honestly, we hope that Joy gets busted, which is really why this storyline is one to watch.
Last but not least, Shawn (Brandon Beener) and Jada and their burgeoning romances is always one to watch. They don’t get nearly enough screen time, but they should, which is why they make SoaapHub’s list of DAYS couples that are working. Jada and Shawn have our attention, even though we know it won’t last due to Cantu’s exit.
