Hey Days of our Lives fans, Marlena Evans‘ (Deidre Hall) guilt and torment intensifies soon and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) makes plans to flee Salem to get away from the EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) drama in your early spoilers for the week that starts November 16th.
Plus, Lani Grant (Sal Stowers) gives another warning, and Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) may be caught in the week of November 16th – 20th. As we always do on early edition day, we go over what is happening the rest of this week. Then we get into what is coming next week. Let’s talk about it.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Johnny and Chanel Want Out of Salem While Marlena Faces Torment
Wednesday, November 11th on Days of our Lives, Lani gets a clue from her brother Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews). He may tell her about the sketchy shipping documents Johnny got and their possible tie to black market Gabi Chic bags and DiMera Enterprises.
Meanwhile, Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) stuns Johnny. She tells him she wants them to not just get away from EJ. Chanel also wants away from DiMera. She just wants her and Johnny to leave Salem entirely. Looks like Chanel is going to suggest she and Johnny take the kids and move to Italy, where his mom Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) lives.
Also this week, Abe Carver (James Reynolds) has an appointment with Dr. Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) about his medical issue. She prescribed Abe some meds for his symptoms, but Kayla wants Abe to tell his family what’s going on. He tells Kayla the time is not right. This may be because of Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford)’s recent memorial.
EMT Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) responds to a 911 call, and Detective Lani is there also. Looks like somebody weighted Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) down with stones and tossed him off the pier. Javi works on Leo, who is half drowned. Javi begs Leo, please start breathing.
DOOL Spoilers: Dante Faces Off with Dominic as EJ Confides in Tony
Thursday, November 12th on Days of our Lives, Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) faces off with Dominic Marino (Kyle Pryor). I wonder if Dante wasn’t expecting Dominic so soon. Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh) may tell her boss and soon to be stepdad Dante that her uncle Dom crashed Lexie’s memorial service and has already moved into the DiMera mansion.
Dominic might have sped up his scheme because Lexie’s memorial was too good an opportunity to pass up to make his big splash in Salem. Hopefully we’ll find out Dante is not using Sami, but that seems increasingly unlikely.
Also, EJ confides in Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis). This could be about EJ losing his Phoenix ring and then seeing it on Dominic’s hand. It could be about Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) trying to have Johnny killed. Or it could also be about EJ’s fears about what Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) cooked up with Dominic.
Also this week, Tony and EJ are chatting with their little brother Dominic. He’s at the house and there to stay. Tony tells Dominic about the whole Dimeras against the world thing. Tony warns Dominic about Stefano pitting them against each other. We’ll have Dominic toying with a pawn on the chessboard this week, which seems like foreshadowing.
Brady Hears Tate Out While Marlena Seeks a DNA Test Over Dominic
Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) hears Tate Black (Leo Howard) out. Tate is sharing suspicions, likely about Sophia Choi. Brady will want to know if she is still alive after she used Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) the way she did. Obviously, Brady is going to want to protect Rachel from further Sophia antics.
Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) is offended by Belle Black (Martha Madison), but she didn’t do it on purpose. It’s already weird that Chad and Belle have a brother in common now that Dominic’s in town. Soon Belle and Chad are bickering about Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord). Also, I don’t see Belle and Chad staying together long term, if I’m being honest.
Marlena is haunted by the unknown in her past related to Dominic specifically. Marlena is frustrated. She cries to Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) about what Stefano did to her that she cannot remember. Marlena has no recollection of being pregnant with Dominic, and she doesn’t know why.
A DNA test is needed to give Marlena reassurance. EJ wants Dominic’s paternity tested also, because EJ is hoping that Dominic is not really a DiMera so he can’t take over. As it stands, Dominic has rights to a part of the house and a big slice of the family business.
Days of our Lives Early Spoilers: Friday Brings Steve’s Questions, Javi’s Worry and Xander’s Gun Trouble
Friday, November 13th on Days of our Lives, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) has questions for Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien). She’s worried about Leo and Steve wants to know why. Gwen may tell Steve she hasn’t heard from Leo since she told him about EJ’s sketchy storage site.
Meanwhile, Javi is worried sick about Leo. Looks like he is taken to Salem University Hospital, and he may be in critical condition after nearly drowning. What an awful way for Javi and Leo to kick off their reunion, right?
Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) gets a disturbing update from Lani. I suspect the Salem PD ran ballistics on that gun, and it doesn’t look good for Xander. He already told Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) he could face 10 to 15 in Statesville for having an unregistered weapon as a felon. Now it looks like the gun Xander had was used in other violent crimes.
Marlena has an honest conversation with Dominic. We know Marlena wants that DNA test. Dominic already agreed, but Belle is paranoid the test will be tampered with. I think they need to send it off to four different labs just to make sure.
Meanwhile, Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) chooses sides. We know she comes to see EJ when he is hauled into the Salem cop shop in the interrogation room. This may be related to the attack on Leo. Clearly EJ knows that Rita is working with Dominic, but Rita tells EJ she once thought of him as family.
Sydney Distrusts Dominic as Johnny Plans an Exit to Italy
The week of November 16th – 20th on Days of our Lives is the last full week of November sweeps. Sydney doesn’t trust Dominic and she is going to keep a close eye on her new uncle. Also, Sydney may be watching Dante, because he has such close ties to Dominic.
Johnny plans his family’s exit to Italy. He’s doing what Chanel requested and may suggest Sydney take the reins at DiMera. Tony and EJ may be fine with it. Dominic holds a huge chunk of DE, according to the latest codicil to Stefano’s will, but Dominic may also agree to Sydney as CEO. Watch the full video on YouTube.
I think EJ and Dominic may both think they can influence Sydney because she’s young and inexperienced. But once she takes the CEO seat, she is going to clap back at anybody who challenges her authority. She will be officially installed as CEO of Stefano’s legacy company soon.
Lani Faces a Dilemma and Dominic Plays Nice With Marlena on DOOL
Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) may go to Lani and tell her Sophia’s alive, but Lani knows about Sophia’s ties to Kristen. Lani may be in a dilemma soon. If Sophia is arrested, of course she is going to rat out Kristen.
Dominic plays nice with Marlena, and mother and son begin their relationship from scratch. The question remains whether Dominic is holding a secret grudge against her. Theo asks Dominic what he was sent to Salem to do. Dominic says the better question is what does he intend to do? I guess we’ll find out very soon if he is more like Stefano or more like Marlena.
Javi may propose to Leo after his near-death ordeal. Xander soon finds out the gun he used to shoot George O’Halloran (Michael Rose) was also used in a murder in Chicago. Leo is going to warn Xander soon that the Chicago cops are coming to pick him up.
Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) won’t let up on Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins). But something significant happens with Stephanie soon that has her swearing her mom Kayla to secrecy.
Watch for Johnny to let EJ know he is done with him and there’s no relationship between them, as he and Chanel finalize their exit plan from Salem. Also, Theo soon finds Abe’s medication, and he is going to interrogate his dad in front of Lani and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey).
