Weekly Recaps & Spoilers: January 13-17, 2025

 


Days of Our Lives – Peacock

Recaps

Rafe offers EJ a deal for his freedom and Jada catches wind that something’s off. EJ has formed some questionable alliances in the past, but the one he’s approached about today might actually be one worth considering. Jada gets an earful about Javi’s love life. Joy might want to wear something fireproof because Chanel is about to unleash her fiery wrath.

Opinion: Romance rules the New Year, but which couples will last?

Chanel ends her acting career, and we finally learn who the new Lady Whistleblower is. Leo hasn’t been terribly lucky in love, but things are looking up as he and Javi find their way back to one another! Stephanie needs Chad to stand by her side, but will he do so? Johnny is in for a shock, courtesy of his wife. When Alex gives Joy a shoulder to cry on, might it lead to something more than comforting?

Brady and Sophia’s mom clash over their future and Doug tries paying off his debts. Brady and Tate prove they’re in it together. Ava wants something that Kristen isn’t necessarily the best at providing: the truth! How will Holly react when Sophia updates her on the situation with Tate? Doug may be a bit of a scoundrel, but he’s there for Julie when she needs him to be.

As L.A. Fires force soap stars to evacuate, one soap actress throws open her home: “I will put you up, I will take care of you.”

Stephanie overhears Philip admitting Victor’s letter is forged, Brady and Kristen get on the same page, and Tate makes a suggestion about the baby. Apparently, working together hasn’t exactly helped Xander and Philip learn to get along, as evidenced when they get in one another’s faces today. Holly and Doug find themselves bonding. Will Tate listen to the apologetic words Sophia offers? On today’s episode of The Blame Game, Kristen and Brady take turns hurtling accusations at one another!

Cat tells Marlena what really happened with John and Catharina, Holly offers Doug a solution, and Stephanie dumps Philip. Sarah asks Xander to do the seemingly impossible: Avoid breaking the law in his attempts to bring Philip down. Meanwhile, Stephanie has some harsh words for Philip. Holly hopes that Doug will open up and share the truth with her. Julie and Chad are able to offer one another a bit of comfort.



Next Week

Chad is shocked to see Cat, Marlena receives troubling news, and Kristen is in a panic — plus, Leo sets a trap for Lady Whistleblower.

Monday, January 13:

Has Sarah finally figured out Victor’s letter is fake when she confronts Philip and Kate? Hopefully, she figures things out sooner, rather than later, since it sounds like working with Philip might have Xander running to Maggie to complain!

Since they tried saying goodbye forever before the holidays, we can understand why Chad is stunned to run into Cat.

John’s absence is definitely felt and by none more so than Marlena, who turns to Steve to cry on.

Between Alex’s fling with Joy and Abe’s demands that Stephanie track down Lady Whistleblower, we could see why Kayla would need to console Stephanie.

Tuesday, January 14:

Leo has a favor to ask of Abe, and seeing as how Bonnie and Hattie just made up, we’re pretty sure we know what it is!

With their own love lives taking off, it’s no wonder that Gabi and Javi tease each other. After all, that’s what cousins do!

The Salem PD gets another boost when Shawn welcomes JJ back into the fold. And they’re probably going to need the extra manpower to figure out what’s up with Rafe. EJ certainly won’t help there, as he’s too busy playing dumb with Jada!

Wednesday, January 15:

EJ’s never one to waste an opportunity, and that applies to Arnold, too, as the ex-DA is about to enlist his help.

Maybe Maggie gave Xander some good advice since he’s making a peace offering to Philip.

Let’s hope Stephanie can keep quiet after Sarah turns to her and asks her not to start spreading it around.

Leo and Javi share a friendly moment, which, we all know, could easily blossom into something more.

Thursday, January 16:

Seeing as how he’s about to be the father to another friend’s baby, Tate’s surprise romantic gesture to Holly had better be a doozy to win her over!

Gabi really doesn’t like Leo, as she tries to convince Javi to cut his flash-in-the-pan ex loose, even as a friend. Is this the bad news Leo reveals to Marlena, or is there something more?

Kristen catches Rachel acting out, but punishment may be too little too late. The kid may have succeeded in breaking up another of Daddy’s relationships as Ava’s trying to end things with Brady!

Friday, January 17:

Kerry’s time as a columnist may soon be up as Leo lays a trap for the secretive new Lady Whistleblower.

A panicked Kristen interrupts Ava and Brady, which has us worried about Rachel’s well-being! (Especially since we know she’ll be disappearing and recast.)

Well, we can check one problem off our list as Doug finally pays off his debts!

We’re guessing Tate’s gesture wasn’t quite enough to keep Holly from realizing that he and Sophia are bonding.

As L.A. Fires force soap stars to evacuate, one soap actress throws open her home: “I will put you up, I will take care of you.”

Cyrus injects Michael with digitalis, and Willow stands up to Carly and Sonny! Ric hopes that he can perhaps change Alexis’ mind. But given that he’s not one of her favorite people, can she be persuaded? Cyrus is in the right place at the right time, at least when it comes to what he’s able to overhear!

Jason has an idea he wants to run by Carly.

Wednesday, January 15:

When Willow needs someone to talk to, she turns to former hubby Chase… which may or may not be the best decision!

Nina confides in Ava.

Trina should get ready to be impressed, at least if Kai has his way!
