- Rachel returns home as new secrets emerge.
Kidnapping Clue
Let’s kick off this post with Gwen Rizczech’s (Emily O’Brien) kidnapping. The person responsible was clearly counting on nobody noticing Gwen was gone.
That is because most people in Salem do hate her. However, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) noticed, who alerted Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez).
Next week, expect Leo to find a clue. This leads him to beg Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) for help. Then, Leo chases a lead to Alamania.
EJ DiMera’s Soul
Fans might remember that EJ spoke to Stefano DiMera’s (last played by Joseph Mascolo) portrait in Friday’s episode. At that time, EJ mentioned trying not to have feelings when she makes bold moves.
However, that is exactly what Marlena is going to count on. The psychiatrist will try to get EJ to listen to his conscience.
Meanwhile, Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) becomes alarmed that EJ is turning into Stefano. Perhaps that explains why she sensed Stefano’s presence all those months ago.
Joy Wesley’s Next Demand
Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of July 27 reveal that Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) will issue yet another demand. The young lady doesn’t trust Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) around the baby at all.
While Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) has been trying to play the middle man, he will be forced to make a choice. In fact, Joy makes another demand and then seeks legal advice from Belle Black (Martha Madison).
Alex will swear to Stephanie that he has no intention of accepting Joy’s terms. However, if he is threatened with losing custody, he could change his mind.
What Else to Expect
As for the rest of the week, Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) gets busted in a lie. What is she going to tell Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews).
Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) is greeted by her loved ones as she gets released from Bayview. Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) discusses his future with Gus (Michael Ocampo).
Also, EJ shares a rare moment of honesty with Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk).
