 Days of Our Lives – Peacock

Recaps

Sophia’s mom finds out about Tate and Rafe comes face to face with an old enemy. EJ loves nothing more than to be in control of every situation. But that’s definitely not the case when he winds up in a bit of a bind! They say that people make plans and God laughs. In this case, it’s Tate and Sophia who make plans… only for Holly to disrupt them! Meanwhile, Sophia wants answers, and does a hard push to get them from Ava! How will Paulina feel about the offer Jada makes her?

Rafe is knocked out, and Tate is put on notice! A familiar face from the past is anything but a sight for sore eyes where Rafe’s concerned! The only thing EJ loves more than issuing a warning is issuing one that is cryptic, which is what he does to Paulina! Brady is about to be given news that could change his life forever. When Holly needs someone to talk to, Doug is there for her. Tate is about to have a rather unpleasant run-in with Sophia’s mom!

Johnny and Chanel’s party goes terribly awry, but RoboRafe has the time of his life. Completely ignoring the fact that parties thrown in Salem tend to have disastrous outcomes, Johnny and Chanel decide to host a New Year’s Eve bash. Gabi, perhaps realizing just how bad an idea this is, seems reluctant to RSVP. EJ is about to get a surprise from Belle. Is it the kind of surprise that will put them on the path toward coupledom? Here’s why that’s the best idea ever. Jada realizes that something’s not quite right about Rafe these days. Of course, figuring out that it’s not actually Rafe could put her in danger… Sure, by now the rest of us have already toasted to the New Year and are in the process of recovering, but Alex and Stephanie are just now securing dates for the upcoming bash.

Chanel blasts Johnny for lying to her and EJ sends Rafe away from Jada. It ain’t a party until someone gets mad at someone else. In this case, it sounds as if Chanel is about to rip into her hubby! How will the confessions Philip and Stephanie make to one another impact their plans for 2025? Things are heating up between EJ and Belle. Which leaves us wondering… when, exactly, will Sami finally return to Salem? JJ and Gabi are ready to take things to the next level.

Things are heading up for Gabi and JJ when Javi proves he has the worst timing ever! It sounds as if Joy and Alex are going to kick 2025 off with one of those wonderfully awkward morning afters! No surprise here, but Paulina is 100 percent in Chanel’s corner. This could prove a bit problematic, however, as Abe appears to be at least a little sympathetic toward Johnny!
