What to Watch
A lot is happening in Salem, which means there is so much for fans to tune into. Leo (Greg Rikaart) searching for Gwen (Emily O’Brien) with an assit from Rafe (Galen Gering) is intriguing. The fact that Leo heads to Alamainia was also an attention grabber. Could it be that someone unexpected is behind Gwen’s kidnapping, not EJ (Dan Feuerriegel)?
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Lexie (Nikki Crawford) putting their escape plan in motion is also a must-see. The plan is filled with holes, and honestly, it’s Salem, so the odds of it going off without a hitch are slim to none. Either way, this story is reaching a breaking point, and it’s about time.
There’s no question that Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) are don’t miss. Sparks fly with these two every time they are on-screen together. Now that Gabi believes Philip and Xander (Paul Telfer) are at the core of her Gabi Chic knockoff drama, it has added another dynamic to Gabi and Philip’s turbulent relationship.
Last but not least is Susan (Stacy Haiduk) being back in the mix. If anyone can sense her son EJ’s up to no good, it’s Susan. The fact that EJ keeps reminding her of Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) only makes her latest return to Salem more interesting.
