Days of Our Lives delivers couples updates in Salem. And we’re going to talk about who is getting together and who is walking away from each other because there are big shifts coming soon. We just saw EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) kissing Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), but she’s got an agenda.
We’re also going to talk about Brady Black’s (Eric Martsolf) relationship. What’s going on with his ex Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) plus Chad DiMera and his new love interest. But before we get into all the action coming with lovers in Salem.
All right, we’re going to rank these couples on who is hitting it and who is quitting it.
Days of Our Lives: Romance Shifts and Love Triangles
Let’s get right into it. Starting with EJ and Cat. It seemed pretty out of left field this week when she accused Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) of jealousy at the very idea that she might hook up with EJ. I was genuinely perplexed and Rafe seemed to be as well. And he told Cat he was shutting down her investigation, but she seems quite committed to taking EJ down and said since she is ISA, that means Rafe has no control over her. But Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) already warned Cat not to sleep with EJ and so did Rafe.
And then Cat marched over to the DiMera mansion and told EJ what she remembered from her recent hypnosis session. Then she kissed him. And he was actually a total gentleman with Cat and said she was worth the wait. So, I do think EJ and Cat are going to hit it, but before too long they’re going to quit it when he finds out that she’s been plotting against him.
Days of our Lives: Chad’s Messy Love Life
Now, let’s talk about EJ’s younger brother, Chad, because he had a whole thing going with Cat until Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) pitched a fit and had it written into his custody papers that Chad can never date her. And if you remember, Cat and Chad had just started hitting it when that happened. But because Thomas found out she was pretending to be his dead mom, Abigail, then they had to quit it because Chad wasn’t going to lose his kids just so he could keep sleeping with Cat.
Right now though, Chad is with Belle and I think before too long they’re going to be hitting it. But I think really Chad wants to be still hitting it with Cat. But on top of the whole custody consideration, when Chad finds out how close Cat has been to EJ while his brother’s been doing bad things, that will disgust Chad. And that means Cat may never get a chance with him again.
Days of Our Lives: Brady and Sarah’s Love Story
All right, let’s talk about Brady Black. He is falling head over heels in love with Dr. Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and very soon they’re going to swap “I love you.” We’ve even heard that Brady might propose to Sarah. Unfortunately, her heart still belongs to her ex-husband Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer). Right now, Brady and Sarah are regularly hitting it. But once she realizes that Brady has fallen hard for her while she is still emotionally tangled up about her ex, I think that will be the end. And they’re quitting it. Of course, Sarah’s been having dreams about hitting it with Xander again.
And speaking of her ex-husband, he’s hitting it with horrible Kristen. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) had also been hitting that. But now that she’s found out Xander is warming Kristen’s sheets, she is heartbroken. And she’s trying to quit and forget any feelings that she has for Xander.
We’ve got a spoiler for July that says Kristen and Xander get in deeper with each other while they are plotting on how to take down EJ. But it’s not too much longer until Xander and Kristen go from hitting it to quitting it because he is still in love with Sarah.
Plus, we know that Kristen is going to be kidnapped for all of her horrible deeds. And it looks like Stacy Haiduk is going to be exiting for a while. But in the next couple of months, we will see Xander and Sarah on the road to a reconciliation. And once they start hitting it, they’re going to get remarried. And hopefully they won’t ever be quitting it.
Days of Our Lives: Gwen and Philip’s Rebound Romance
Now, let’s circle around to Gwen, who is absolutely furious that one of her few friends in Salem, Kristen, decided to violate the girl code and was sleeping with Xander. And then worse, Kristen even told Gwen that he probably wouldn’t have been sleeping with her if she had known how to satisfy him. I mean, that was a big ouch. So, even though Gwen and Xander were supposedly just having cheeky fun, Kristen knew that Gwen still really loved Xander. But you know the old saying, the best way to forget one man is to get under another one.
And there is a heartbroken hunk in Salem that could use Gwen’s attention. And of course, I’m talking about Xander’s brother, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). He is absolutely devastated that Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) conspired with Tony and bugged his and Xander’s office.
Now, I don’t think that Philip is ever going to forgive Gabi. Not ever. And I tend to think that she’s going to keep putting herself into Theo Carver’s (Tyler Joseph Andrews) orbit, even though he really hates her right now. But I kind of feel like Days of Our Lives is planning to pair off Gabi and Theo, and then they’ll be hitting it. Meanwhile, they’ve already orchestrated several scenes with Gwen running into Philip.
Philip & Gwen Rebound Ahead on DOOL?
So, these look like red flags that those two are going to be in some sort of rebound romance. Realistically, Xander can’t say anything since he and Gwen were casual, even though she wanted more. And since Philip knows that Xander has been sleeping with Kristen and in general being a himbo, I don’t think Philip would see it as a big deal if he started hitting it with Gwen.
And in a way, Philip and Gwen might actually be a good pairing because they both have such drastic daddy issues. So, you never know if Gwen sticks around, she and Philip might go from a rebound hookup to a real romance, one with actual feelings because they’re both kind of love starved at this point.
Days of Our Lives: Leo and Dimitri’s Deal
Last but not least, we are going to dip into something from the big Days of Our Lives summer promo. So, right now we have Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) suffering from another brain injury and also a serious case of boyfriend envy because he’d really like to be back with his ex Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez). But he is very happy with his new boyfriend Gus (Michael Ocampo). If you remember, Leo rejected hunky Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte).
And that’s because Leo wanted to pursue Javi. And then Dimitri left Salem angry after doing all he could to make sure Javi would never take a second look at Leo. But in the big promo, we know that Dimitri is back to Salem. So, in the next few weeks, we are going to see Dimitri return and we’re going to have Dimitri in a tense conversation at the DiMera mansion with Rafe, Leo, and Gwen.
DOOL: Rafe Tries to Make a Deal
And I’m assuming based on the location that it’s something to do with EJ. We’ve got Rafe trying to bargain with Dimitri, but Gwen’s ex-husband doesn’t seem to be open to cutting a deal with Rafe. But whatever it is, it seems to be really important. So Leo steps up and he asks Dimitri if he won’t make a deal with Rafe, will Dimitri make a deal with him instead? And we know that while Leo was helping Dimitri try and clear his name in Alamania, he kept refusing intimacy because Leo was still hoping that he had a chance to get back with Javi.
So, they weren’t hitting it. And then Leo made it clear that they weren’t going to be hitting it. But if Javi sticks with Gus, we could see Leo using himself as a bargaining chip to get what they want from Dimitri. So, they might go back to hitting it before he inevitably leaves Salem and then they have to quit it. That’s it. That’s our couple update. Hope you enjoyed it.
