EJ Turns Stefano’s Will Reading Into a New DiMera Power Battle
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) has been planning Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) will-reading for weeks now, and it’s finally time for the main event! Who will turn out to be The Phoenix’s favorite hatchling?
Leo (Greg Rikaart) is dying to find out. Not because he’s a gossip, but because he thinks he’s a journalist. So Leo offers to take over Cat’s (AnnaLynn McCord) duties. We doubt she’ll go along with that plan. Cat has an agenda of her own with EJ, after all.
Kristen and Marlena Reignite Their Fight Over Rachel’s Future
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) still holds Marlena (Deidre Hall) responsible for Rachel (Lorelie Olivia Mote) getting sent back to Bayview, and she will never let Rachel’s grandmother forget how much Kristen’s precious, sweet, innocent little princess is suffering.
Marlena tries to point out that she’s a psychiatrist, and she knows a sick child when she sees one. Rachel needs help. Kristen isn’t buying it. And then the barbs fly!
Gabi Pushes Ari Away While Trying to Protect Her From Liam
Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) tried to talk Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) out of nagging Ari (Vico Escorcia) about her very obvious crush on Liam (Hank Northrup). Gabi wasn’t open to hearing it.
Gabi made so many mistakes as a teenager, and she’d like to spare her daughter the same pain. Even if she has to cause more pain to make it happen.
Theo Struggles With Lexie’s Return as Chad Tries to Reach Him
Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) agonizes over the possibility of Lexie’s (Nikki Crawford) return. Chad (Conner Floyd) wants to support his nephew. But it’s hard when Theo won’t tell him what is really bothering him.
