There was a lot going on in the most recent Days of Our Lives episodes, especially in Xander Kiriakis and Chloe Lane’s romantic relationship. Chloe had been Xander’s intended bride, but after meeting Philip, she began to have second thoughts.
The episodes also demonstrated how Philip admitted to Rex that he stumbled the previous time they were together and expressed his earnestness about a future with Chloe. He didn’t want his chances of getting Chloe to fail. EJ, on the other hand, planned to kill Xander and had the same intention. The intersection of these two plotlines raised the question, “Is Xander leaving Days of Our Lives?” The short answer is no; there is no official position taken in that regard.
Xander in the recent episodes of Days of Our Lives
Days of Our Lives’ Chloe and Xander were enjoying their relationship after she succumbed to his passionate charm in June. They began sharing a residence and making plans for the future. Chloe did not let the paternity lawsuit and custody battle between Xander and Sarah Horton Brady for their daughter, Victoria Horton, worry her too much.
That is, until she ran across Philip, her ex-partner, once more. Chloe’s life took an unpredictable turn after that one encounter, and she ultimately made the choice to break up with Xander and give Philip another chance. Even though Xander’s heart was undoubtedly broken by this, a danger is approaching that he is not even aware of.
EJ calls upon Bronson and asks him to kill Xander. This is because he thinks Xander and Ava are responsible for his mother Susan’s death. Bronson masks himself as a utility worker and knocks on Xander’s door.
After he is in, Rex gets a text from “Xander,” which was actually sent by Bronson. Rex’s involvement comes since Bronson and EJ planned to frame Rex for it. Rex, who is dating Sarah now, also hates Xander as much as EJ does.
Bronson has cocked his gun and is prepared to shoot Xander when Rex shows there. The important question of whether his character will leave the long-running soap opera is raised by the combination of Xander’s romantic life taking a serious hit and the danger to his life.
That uncertainty was swiftly dispelled, though, in the Days of Our Lives episode from October 5 when EJ hurried to Xander’s to stop Bronson from killing Susan because she was still alive. After being saved, Xander has decided to seek for full custody of Victoria. Chloe, in the meantime, asks Philip if they might arrange something in New York.
