Days of our Lives sneak peek photos for the August 20 episode of the hit Peacock soap reveal that Leo’s return shakes things up. That’s not all, either, as Alex stands by Joy amid her latest health scare.
Key Takeaways
- Leo and Gwen reunite.
- Gus’ jealous side comes out.
- Joy finds comfort in Alex’s arms.
Leo Makes His Rounds in Salem
Now that Leo’s (Greg Rikaart) free of Dimitri’s (Peter Porte) clutches, he wastes no time making his way home. Gwen (Emily O’Brien) has been freaked out about leaving her bestie behind in Alamainia.
Leo’s return gives Gwen something to smile about, which she does in one of the sneak peek photos. Gwen has her own problems, but that won’t stop her from celebrating her friend’s return. They enjoy some champagne in another picture.
In true Gwen and Leo fashion, the reunion isn’t all happiness. Gwen places her hands on Leo’s chest out of concern and worry, likely over how he managed to get free. Another photo shows them having a stare-down, almost as if they both know something and want to know what the other knows.
Javi (Jacob Martinez) is also ecstatic to have Leo back in town, which is evident by the smile on his face when he runs into Leo in Horton Town Square. They even shake hands in one picture as Gus (Michael Ocampo) stares at them with a jealous look on his face.
DAYS spoilers reveal that Gus puts Javi on the spot. Based on Gus’ reaction to Leo being back in Salem, a photo of Javi and Gus alone could be that moment. There is also a solo shot of Leo on the phone, and he looks a bit perplexed.
Alex and Joy Grow Closer
The latest crisis with Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) has Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) spending more time with her than ever. DAYS preview video revealed that Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) delivers a worst-case scenario to Joy regarding her swelling spine.
One photo features Kayla having a conversation with Joy, likely regarding that news. Joy gets a phone call in one photo, and another shows her looking at a book as Alex walks in on her standing up.
Alex can be seen in a few other photos comforting Joy as she cries. There is even a picture of Joy breaking down as Alex hugs her. In a very soapy moment, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) spies Joy and Alex in an embrace, and it seems like Joy sees Stephanie standing in the doorway.
