Fans of “Days of Our Lives” are huddling in as the weather outside gets chilly and the action on the soap opera intensifies. Prepare yourselves because we have a brand-new week of spoilers. In the coming week, there are new faces in town, business decisions that have serious repercussions are made, and a beloved figure makes a triumphant comeback.
Along with those stories, viewers can expect to see the tension between Stephanie and Alex build, Johnny and Chanel rally around Paulina as she tries to pursue Abe, and Sarah loses her resolve to stay away from Xander. Currently, the biggest storylines involve Tate and Holly becoming front-burner characters, Alex taking a job at Titan Industries, and the search for Susan Banks in London.
Here’s what will happen on “Days of Our Lives” the week of October 9, 2023.
Stephanie encounters a surprise at Titan
When Stephanie attends the Titan headquarters on Monday, October 9, she is in for a surprise. Alex has assumed control of Titan Industries and claimed a claim in the business because it has been made public that he is Victor’s son and that half of the inheritance was bequeathed to him. Given Stephanie’s fondness for Alex, it could be encouraging to see him find a purpose in the family business. Will she be concerned that Alex might end up being just like Victor given his ambition?
Kate asks Chad about marriage plans
Kate gets nosy on Monday, October 9, as she questions Chad about marrying Stephanie. Chad never thought he would find love again after Abigail was murdered, but then Stephanie Johnson came along, and he fell for her. Their relationship hasn’t been without trials, like Stephanie’s ex Alex butting in, but they’ve managed to stay together. Now, it seems everyone is asking if and when the couple will tie the knot. Since Kate is like a mother to Chad, we’re sure her questions will come with a side of advice; whether or not it’s encouraging remains to be seen.
Tate and Holly reconnect
On Tuesday, October 10, legacy children Tate Black and Holly Jonas reconnect as Tate returns to Salem. There has been a lot of buzz in the soap world since it was announced that Tate and Holly were being recast on the soap and much speculation about their potential storylines. Along with getting involved in their parent’s drama, having Tate and Holly reconnect could be the start of a new couple in Salem. It might even jumpstart a new young crew on the soap if “Days” decides to spring SORAS on more unsuspecting children.
Marlena confronts Harris
On Wednesday, October 11, Marlena confronts Harris Michaels as the search for Susan Banks comes to a head. Harris and Ava have been on the run in London, looking for Susan and hoping to find her alive so Ava will be exonerated for her supposed murder. Since Marlena was the one who advocated for Harris in Bayview, odds are she won’t be happy that he escaped with Ava and went along with her plan. Will all be forgiven if they find Susan alive?
Shawn and Belle have differing views on their marriage
On Thursday, October 12, Shawn and Belle clash once more about their differing perspectives on their marriage. Since Shawn started drinking after he shot Bo, their relationship has been in trouble, but now since he slept with Talia Hunter after getting wasted at Victor’s funeral, things have gone even worse. Shawn has never cheated on Belle before, although Belle has done so in the past. Is this the start of the end for the cherished couple, or will she be able to forgive him as he forgave her?
EJ discovers what happened to Susan
On Friday, October 13, EJ discovers the truth about what happened to his mother, and the mystery of what happened to Susan Banks is cleared up. Although it has long been believed that Susan perished in the explosion that Ava set off in the spring, she has recently begun to recall seeing Susan flee. Since then, EJ has been on the hunt for retribution and has tried to kill Ava at every opportunity. Will he back off now that he knows Susan is still alive or will he continue to want to punish Ava for what she did?
