What to Watch
Obviously, a must-see is what happens to Xander (Paul Telfer) after he took a bullet for Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). Xander did manage to shoot George (Michael Rose), which was good. Sarah will fight to save his life, though.
It sure looks like Xander’s medical crisis leads to a Xarah reunion. Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah’s heart-to-heart seems to mean the end of them. It’s about time Sarah and Xander found their way back together, so this better be real.
EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) and Johnny (Carson Boatman) having it out is also not to be missed. Johnny betrayed EJ, something they both have to deal with. This is new territory, EJ and Johnny. The fallout should be very entertaining, especially as the end of Johnny and Chanel’s (Raven Bowens) time in Salem nears. Perhaps their good news will give DAYS fans a clue on how these two will exit the show.
Relationships seem to be a major focus as Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) confronts Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier), likely over his gambling, and Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) decides to end her relationship with Foster (Miles Anderson). Plus, Javi (Jacob Martinez) and Leo (Greg Rikaart) getting back together and having a sweet moment is a must-see.
Last but not least, Halloween takes over Salem, and that means fun and trouble. It’s intriguing that Thomas (Alexander Elijah Bond) seems to change his tune about Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) on that holiday considering he wanted to hurt her last year. It will also be nice to see Chad (Conner Floyd) getting in the Halloween spirit with his son. Something tells us that won’t be the only interesting thing to happen in Salem on Halloween.
