I wonder if he’s going to ask her to drop the charges on Johnny because of the incriminating video of Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens). That’s not going to happen, though. Meanwhile, Johnny is there for Chanel, and he hates that she’s been accused. They each are quite certain the other is innocent. Johnny’s actually ready to go to jail to protect her.

Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) spends time at the DiMera mansion with Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), who is surprised to find out Gwenny is still married to Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte).

Wednesday, July 16th, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) has a surprise for Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). And Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) is working with Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) on the joint FBI/ISA investigation into EJ. Looks like Patch (Stephen Nichols) may be involved with this too, perhaps at Kayla Brady’s (Mary Beth Evans) request.

So, Rafe fills in Cat on many of the sins of EJ’s past. I mean, frankly, he can’t lay them all out. There’s really too many to go into. Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary) asks Cat to hang out with him and his dad Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) while they’re out playing together, but Cat may feel funny about taking him up on that offer.

Days of Our Lives: Gwen Wants to Come Back

Gwen asks EJ if she can move back into the DiMera mansion. She is an in-law after all. Her husband Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) is EJ’s nephew because Dimitri is Megan Hathaway’s (Miranda Wilson) son. So, it looks like EJ may let Gwen move back in, but only if she does something for him. Everything comes at a price with EJ. We all know that. Xander has a hard time calming down fussy Victoria at the office. I wonder if Gabi might help him out.

Thursday, July 17th, we’ve got Sophia still faking her pregnancy this week, and she’s telling even more lies to her mom, Amy Choy (Shi Ne Nielson. Plus, Tate and Doug get into a physical confrontation over the girls’ kidnapping. Looks like Tate is ready to smash Doug’s face in, and Gabi finds out her daughter Ari was taken.

And I wonder if she’s going to immediately call Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) like she does, you know. I wonder if he’s going to think she’s crying wolf because last time she was out hooking up with somebody. The girls are really scared and Holly and Ari desperately hope someone finds them soon before something bad is done to them.

EJ and Belle select jury members for Johnny’s criminal trial. EJ really wants to avoid all this. He doesn’t want Johnny facing these charges. And he tells Belle if he could just remember that night and remember who really shot him, that that would prove that Johnny is innocent once and for all. And Belle has a suggestion for EJ on how to get his memories back on Days of Our Lives.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Rescue Mission, Relationship Drama, and Trial Twists

Friday, July 18th, Sophia loses her nerve. Maybe it’s about dropping off the letter. Maybe it’s about her fake adoption scheme. Things get even more awkward for Cat and Chad on Friday. And the search kicks off for the missing girls. Ari and Holly just need to stay safe till they’re found, but bad men with guns have them. Rafe is there with Doug and Tate, who are very worried.

And I wonder if Rafe is going to wind up arresting the gangster kidnappers, which might actually solve Doug’s problem without him having to pay off the exorbitant interest. Xander comforts Gabi. She is very upset about Ari being missing. They have a big hug up at the office and I wonder if this starts a little a little something between Xander and Gabi. There is a kiss coming between them pretty soon.

Days of Our Lives: Future Spoilers, Custody Battles, and Shocking Revelations

The week of July 21st through the 25th, we should see Holly and Ari found unharmed, but the question is, will Doug come out unscathed? Because Tate’s going to be flinging accusations. And I’m sure Doug is going to have to come clean. You know, Holly knew some of the issues, but she doesn’t know about this follow-up issue, probably because he didn’t want her paying his debt for him or anything.

Gwen faces more pressure about giving back Julie Williams’ (Susan Seaforth Hayes) necklace, the Horton diamonds. And of course, as far as Gwen is concerned, she paid for him. They’re hers. A custody battle kicks off between Xander and Victoria. Unless they can find some middle ground. Right now, it seems unavoidable. Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) and Gabi are going to get busy plotting once her daughter is home safe. Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) keeps annoying Xander, but I’m sure they’re going to find a path forward soon.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Johnny’s Trial Begins

Johnny’s trial is officially going to begin. We are going to have Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), Paulina Price (Jackee Harry), and others on the stand. And Marlena may get EJ on her couch for some hypnosis. This may be what Belle suggested to help EJ recover his memories of who shot him. It’s not Johnny. It’s not Chanel. We’re back to you. Looks like it is little Rachel. The leaker has been spot on with everything else. And they told me this back in like February, I think that Rachel picked up the gun that Johnny left behind and shot her uncle EJ.

And of course, Rachel is going to be very stressed out about going into court and testifying. Kristen’s worried about her. It’s not entirely clear if Rachel is deliberately letting Johnny go down or if she’s so traumatized by the shooting, maybe she forgot it. Gwen has a task to work on. Looks like she needs to foil Rafe, Cat and others who are investigating EJ’s finances. Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) is back soon to support Johnny as he faces criminal charges. Plus, Sami needs to offer Marlena condolences on the loss of John Black (Drake Hogestyn).
