What To Watch Next Week
Marlena (Hall), looking back on her time in Salem, is definitely a don’t miss. It’s been 50 years since Hall debuted in the role. DAYS will be going all out with flashbacks and memories. The soap legend deserves all the celebrations surrounding her milestone anniversary.
The fact that Liam (Hank Northrop) is back in the mix has our attention. Not only because of his connection to the mystery Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) are working on, but it seems like he might spill what Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) did to Ari (Vico Escorcia). We know it’s early. However, we are ready for this secret to come out.
Another must-see is Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) learning that EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) knows her involvement in what Sophia (Rachel Boyd) did to Johnny (Carson Boatman), or at least he thinks he does. These two have expressed their hatred for each other for well over a year now, if not longer. The breaking point has to come soon. Even if it doesn’t, we just love to watch Feuerriegel and Haiduk together, especially when their characters are at odds.
Last but not least is the mystery surrounding the chess set that Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) left to Marlena, or really John (Drake Hogestyn). Chad (Conner Floyd) and Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) found a key stashed in it, adding a new layer to the mystery. This feels like a classic Stefano mystery, which is hopefully a nod to the good old days on the soap.
