Gabi and Philip are soaring to wonderful new heights on Days of Our Lives as she moves into the Kiriakis mansion with Philip and they build a wonderful new life together. At least until he finds out she’s the reason Titan’s barely hanging on and the whole thing falls apart. But hey, by the time that happens, it could be the least of Gabi’s worries — if Ari ends up pregnant!
It’s been about two weeks since we’ve seen Ari, parting with Liam with a lingering kiss, but she’s back on our screens as of Wednesday. And as we all know by now, Vico Escorcia has taken over the role and will be the one to (possibly) make nice with Holly. Whether or not that happens, we know the relationship between Ari and Liam is just going to keep building.
As Hank Northrop told Michael Fairman in an interview, Ari and Liam are in the middle of a “slow burn. It’s a slow build.” They didn’t meet and hop into bed together, but yes, Liam is “super infatuated with her.”
But, he added, “We’ll see as it progresses where it goes, because [in a] soap, you can’t just have a completely happy relationship and there be no drama!”
Well, that could lead anywhere, but after Days of Our Lives posted a getting to know you video with Escorcia, now we can only think of one direction: Baby drama!
The actress shared some fun facts about herself, like the fact that she’s half Mexican and half French, so she’s fluent in Spanish, English and French. And she also just adopted a puppy! And the third fact?
“Out of the last 10 characters I’ve played,” she shared, “seven have gotten pregnant at some point. I know all of the bellies, so Ari, watch out!”
Oop! We know, it’s just a tongue-in-cheek tease, but can you imagine Gabi’s reaction?
We can already see the protective mom flipping out when she finds out who Liam really is and what he’s done as he and Ari get closer. And if her daughter ended up pregnant… with Liam‘s kid? We can’t think of much more drama than that — especially if it’s happening as Gabi and Philip implode and she and Theo get closer. You know, one of the DiMeras that Liam not only helped (inadvertently) kidnap, but also bullied when they were younger?
Oh, Grandma Gabi would have a few words to say about that. But hey, not all of Escorcia’s characters have ended up pregnant, so hey, Ari could still make it through college without a baby bump. Fingers crossed! (If for no other reason than to avoid her mother’s wrath!)
