Hey, Days of Our Lives fans, we have got new spoilers for the next two weeks that start October 12th, with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) being set up with a clever frame job, and Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) is cornered and will be caught soon with her little con game she’s running.

Also, the weeks of October 12th – 23rd, we’ve got Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) back and doing bad things, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) grilled, and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) scrambling to save their home. Let’s talk about all of that.

Days of Our Lives: Mason’s Proposal and Joy’s Close Call

Monday, October 12th on Days of Our Lives, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) is stunned by Mason Whitfield (Brandon Butler)’s proposal. After the issues they’ve had, Holly and Mason may bury the hatchet.

Picking up from Friday, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) was opening the door to her and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson)’s apartment when Joy was standing up out of her wheelchair, but Steph may not have seen exactly what Joy was up to. Stephanie tells Alex she was concerned about Kelsey Kiriakis (Lena and Mira Chase) crying nonstop, and Joy rants that Stephanie should be concerned because she violated the custody agreement. Alex has to put his foot down with Joy.

DOOL Spoilers: Stephanie Suspicious

Later, Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) listens as Stephanie explains her suspicions. And it could be that she saw Joy looking like she might have been resettling in the chair, or Joy might have claimed to have fallen from her chair trying to get to Kelsey when Stephanie opened the door.

Days Spoilers: Kristen’s Scheme

Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) gets concerning news about Kristen. So, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) may tell Brady what Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) said about Kristen setting up Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) to kill him, and that’s why EJ wanted revenge on Kristen.

In Kentucky, Sophia listens as Kristen bargains. I mean, honestly, Sophia should be terrified and just run from Kristen and not give her the time of day. I’m sure she’s got to offer Sophia a sweetheart deal to get her cooperation in Kristen’s newest scheme against EJ.

Days of Our Lives: Marlena Makes Cat Uncomfortable

Tuesday, October 13th on Days of Our Lives, Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) appreciates a romantic gesture from her husband, Roman Brady (Josh Taylor). And Xander and Philip meet the building inspector over at the Kiriakis mansion, trying to reinforce that there are definite problems with the mansion and that these should prevent the sale to Dominic Marino from going through.

Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) makes Cat uncomfortable. We’ll see Marlena asking if Cat has fallen in love with EJ. Plus, Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) gets into it with EJ, and he’s confronting his big brother, likely about the Coriseal deal. And we’re going to see EJ telling Chad the mysterious Dominic may share their blood, and EJ says Dominic may be their brother.

DOOL Spoilers: EJ Wants Cat Back

Wednesday, October 14th on Days of Our Lives, EJ tries to get Cat to take back the job as his personal assistant, which is exactly what she was hoping EJ would do. And then Cat would know that her honeypot was working if EJ is willing to look past the whole ISA thing.

There is shocking news for Lani Price (Sal Stowers). And it could be that Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) finally convinced the governor to give Lani a pardon. That’s why Paulina sent the governor that podcast of Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart)’s where Lani was guesting and they were discussing her heroics.

Days Spoilers: Philip Unnerved by Gwen

Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) makes Philip feel uneasy. We know Philip and Gwen had a drink and a chat while he and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) were split. So, we’ll see if maybe Gwen is flirting.

Chad and Belle Black (Martha Madison) talk about Dominic, and Chad may tell her what EJ said. If so, Belle may turn around and tell Chad about the birth certificate since he’s in the loop now, even though Marlena wanted to keep it quiet. Both Belle and Chad want answers from Dominic.

Days of Our Lives: Stephanie Confides in Alex

Thursday, October 15th on Days of Our Lives, Stephanie confides her suspicions about Joy faking it to Alex, but is he going to think Stephanie’s being paranoid, or will he take her words to heart? Stephanie needs proof, and she wants to catch Joy in the act. So Stephanie may ask Tate Donovan Black (Leo Howard) to let her know if he sees anything suspicious.

Also, Joy decides to set her sights on Tate and starts flirting during their strength therapy sessions. Maybe Joy’s trying to provoke some jealousy. But since Alex only cares about Joy as a co-parent, that’s a poor plan if that’s what Joy is thinking. But she may be flirting to distract Tate from noticing her fakery.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Holly Bonds with Mason

Holly and Mason have some bonding time, which is bad timing because she and Tate have had some issues because he left college, and they’re kind of at different life stages now. It’s also problematic since Sophia is back in Salem by the end of the week.

Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Susanne Rogers) shares some wisdom with her dear friend Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes). And I wonder how much Maggie might tell Julie about the Kiriakis mansion plot. Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and his son Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) are ready to plan the celebration of Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford)’s life. It looks like Roman’s hosting at the pub, and Paulina stops by to talk to Abe and Theo while they’re planning Lexie’s homegoing.

DOOL Spoilers: Sophia Returns to Salem

Friday, October 16th on Days of Our Lives, Brady gets cautioned by Marlena. She is telling Brady to be careful when it comes to Kristen. And we could see Brady telling Marlena what he heard from Steve. And since Brady and Marlena both know that Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) shot EJ, hearing what Kristen had Sophia do to Johnny may convince them it’s true. It may all make sense to them that EJ would want revenge on Kristen if she had Sophia trying to kill Johnny. But Brady will be absolutely horrified to think that’s what the mother of his daughter has done.

Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) asks Lani if she wants her former detective job at the Salem PD back. And when Jada offers this, Lani looks a bit stunned. So, it seems like the podcast Paulina sent the governor may have changed his mind about the pardon. Otherwise, Jada couldn’t give Lani that job offer to come back as a detective.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Johnny in Danger

Sophia is back in Salem again, and this is not a good thing. Kristen got Sophia to come back to do bad things. I’m more than certain, because we’re going to see Johnny hurrying through the square, and he brushes right by Sophia, but Johnny does not notice her.

However, Sophia sees Johnny, and she is watching him from afar as he rushes by. So, I’m wondering if Kristen wants Sophia to finish off Johnny, because if something happens to him, if he’s hurt or if he’s killed, everybody will suspect EJ, since Johnny just made an official statement about EJ and George O’Halloran (Michael Rose)’s crimes at DiMera Pharmaceuticals.

Meanwhile, Johnny’s helping Xander and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) expose the truth about the Coriseal cover-up. Johnny does not want Sarah to lose her job due to these false charges. Kristen creeps in to visit her daughter Rachel after her appendix surgery.

Days of Our Lives: What’s Ahead October 19th – 23rd

And then the week of October 19th – 23rd on Days of Our Lives, we may see Kristen using Sophia in this plot against Johnny and EJ after Kristen makes Sophia an offer she can’t refuse. The bad girl’s back in Salem. Heck, both bad girls are back in Salem, and this is not good for Johnny and EJ.

Cat likely accepts EJ’s job offer, but Marlena was right. Cat’s got feelings for EJ, but she’s in denial. And with Johnny’s confession, the FBI and ISA may want Cat to get the evidence they need to take EJ down once and for all. Dominic still wants the mansion, but Kate and Maggie’s plot to ruin the sale may gain traction after Xander and Philip meet with the building inspector. Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) may be doing some advance work for Dominic, who’s preparing to come to Salem soon.

And EJ may need a lawyer. And if he’s not going to represent himself, he may ask Sydney DiMera (Sidney Malakeh) to do it. Or EJ may ask Melinda Trask (Tina Huang), since he just paid her off to go after Sarah with that civil suit. Stephanie wants proof that Joy’s running a con. And Stephanie may make a bold move to get what she needs.

Holly and Mason find common ground, but Tate may not like what he sees when he spots Holly with Mason. And I wonder if Sophia will see Holly with Mason and realize that’s her suicide hotline counselor.
