You’re listening to Soap Dirt, the latest in television entertainment news. Hey Days of Our Lives fans! I’ve got your two-week spoilers for October 28th through November 8th: arrests, stabbings, and Kristen’s rage! It’s Belinda from Soap Dirt, and we’re going to dive into the action starting Monday, October 28th. If you’re not following us already, please smash that subscribe button! Let’s get into it.
Philip showed up briefly on Friday, and he’s back in full force on Monday, messing up Xander’s plan to give Titan to Kristen to get that serum for Sarah. Philip has gotten an injunction to stop Xander from transferring any part of Titan Industries to Kristen, and he’s smugly reminding Xander that he’s also Victor’s son. Xander doesn’t care—he’s blindly focused on doing whatever he can to get Sarah this cure. These two are toe-to-toe, and it’s about to get ugly.
Meanwhile, Vivian had her henchman Ivan drug Stefan on Friday. We’ll see a replay of that Monday when Ivan ties him up, shoves him in the trunk of a car, and drives away. Unless the powers at Days can convince Brandon Barash to come back or they recast the role, this may be Stefan’s exit. Looks like Vivian forges the divorce papers and delivers them to Gabi, all while stopping Gabi from seeing Stefan.
Kristen tries to get closer to Brady again, but it’s unlikely he’ll be open to it. Sarah spots Fiona drinking a martini in Horton Town Square and completely unloads on her horrible mother-in-law. And newcomer Javi Hernandez shows up at Gabi and Rafe’s door. He’s their cousin from Texas and is supposed to be Leo’s new love interest.
Tuesday, October 29th: Cat and Mark are terrified of what Clyde might do, and Cat is in the Salem Police Department interrogation room, facing off with Chad, who’s very unhappy. Mark may also be in jail, since he falsified the test results in Salem, though the attempted murder was in France. Days doesn’t exactly follow strict jurisdiction rules.
Steve tells Marina about Cat, Mark, their connection to Clyde Weston, and the threats involving their mom, Katarina. They’re revealed to be the grandchildren of Constantine Meloni, which ties into Marina’s husband, John Black. Chad catches Julie Williams up on everything that went down in Paris. Holly is also back from Paris and forgives Eric Brady for being drunk, running over her dad Daniel Jonas, and lying to her for years. But hey, she also forgave Nicole.
Wednesday, October 30th: Kayla and Roman discuss Chad’s grief, how Cat’s cons and lies have churned it all up, and how he’s coping with Abigail’s death again after having hope she was alive. Maggie advises Holly to talk to Tate. She knows Tate was upset with Holly for lying and sneaking into Brady’s room for evidence, but she thinks Holly can make it right.
Chad is at the police station, taking a tough stance with Cat, as he should. Meanwhile, Sofia and Tate confess their feelings and share some alone time at Casa de la Black. They’re in bed, seemingly ready to take things to the next level. Brady spends time bonding with Ava, possibly at the pub or the bistro. I’m interested to see that dynamic!
Thursday, October 31st (kicking off November sweeps): Leo has a Halloween-themed nightmare. In it, he sees Stephanie stabbed in the back, lying across a desk at Body and Soul, while Alex sits calmly at the desk. This has a very Connie Vinisky vibe. Joy Wesley lands a role on Body and Soul the same day that Johnny is begging Chanel to forgive him. Things will soon get awkward on set.
Alex and Stephanie are dealing with the aftermath of hooking up on set. Remember, Kate didn’t fire her but said they cannot be near each other, setting up tension.
Friday, November 1st: Johnny asks Joy to keep a secret. Maybe it’s about drinking together, the wedding ring, or telling her his wife was cheating. Most likely, it’s that they did the deed, but we’ll have to wait and see.
Philip connects with Vivian, the embryo-stealer who gave birth to him, and they’re scheming. Kate asks Chanel to give Johnny a second chance. Xander makes Kristen a deadly offer, saying he’ll do anything to get that serum for Sarah. Meanwhile, Holly waits on pins and needles to hear from Tate.
November 4th-8th: As sweeps continue, Johnny is struggling on set. It’s hard for him to shoot scenes with Joy and Chanel while he’s worried his secret will come out. If his wife is even slightly willing to give him a second chance, one word from Joy could end things for good. His paranoia could make it all worse.
Meanwhile, Gabi feels abandoned by Stefan, who signed the divorce papers and left. Of course, we know that’s not how it happened, but that’s what she believes. She may turn to EJ DiMera for comfort. Philip versus Xander escalates with Vivian helping Philip take whatever he can from “Dandy Xandy.” Leo meets Javi—who may end up on Body and Soul—and Cat is punished, though Mark may not be able to address the larger threat of Clyde Weston. Chad is furious but understands Clyde’s persistence in pursuing the DiMera fortune.
Look for Brady and Ava to spend more time together and watch for Kristen’s reaction when she finds out!
