Tragedies have a manner of both bringing {couples} nearer collectively or tearing them aside.
Spoilers for Days of Our Lives in the course of the week of 1-08-24 recommend that EJ will quickly attain his breaking level, with Nicole regularly turning to Eric for consolation.
Are these two headed for a cut up for the sake of drama? We hope not, however it’s not wanting good.
EJ hasn’t precisely been a mannequin husband. As a substitute of being there for Nicole, he is working throughout city insisting on getting vengeance — and he is obtained his sights set on the unsuitable particular person.
Sadly, it does not go effectively when Brady approaches Nicole to ask her to get EJ to again off Tate. Spoilers say Nicole will blow up at Brady, insisting that her husband is true about Tate’s guilt.
That is disappointing. Brady’s all the time stood by Nicole’s aspect, even when others turned towards her for silly causes.
Nicole needs somebody accountable for Holly’s overdose as a lot as EJ does, however it does not make any sense for Tate to be the scapegoat right here. Even when EJ have been proper — which he isn’t, at most, Tate gave medication he purchased from another person to 1 particular person.
Prosecuting him with out going after the folks supplying medication to all of the sellers does not resolve something. It will not stem the uptick in drug exercise or forestall future overdoses.
It is pure revenge, nothing extra, and that is not what the DA — or his spouse — must be doing.
Often, Nicole is the one who can rein EJ in when he goes too far. She tried to cease him from getting revenge on Ava for Susan’s ‘loss of life’ and has talked him down on different events.
What occurred to that? Why is she agreeing with him whereas looking for consolation from her “good pal” Eric?
It looks like we’re headed for an Eric and Nicole reunion. I hate how the writers all the time trash one couple to make room for the one they wish to write as a substitute.
Cannot now we have a reputable love triangle with out the writers telling us who we must always root for?
Please scroll down to take a look at all eight Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of 1-08-24.
Chad suspects Dimera involvement within the drug ring.
Chad questions Stefan and Ava about their involvement with the medication that led to Holly’s precarious state of affairs. This might be fascinating regardless of which manner it goes.
Chad’s grief about Abigail’s loss of life features a need to get revenge towards Clyde for inflicting it. If Stefan ranges with him, Chad may be prepared to do what EJ wasn’t and take Clyde down as soon as and for all.
However Chad can also be alleged to be serving to Everett bust the drug ring, so will he keep loyal to Stefan or stab him within the again as soon as he has no extra use for him?
Tripp is stunned to find Wendy continues to be in Salem.
Few viewers will probably be pleased with a Tripp/Wendy reunion. These two made a bland couple, particularly since Wendy was rewritten as a typical Salem lady as a substitute of a badass lady who refused to simply accept culturally-based gender limitations.
However what on Earth is she doing? She was alleged to be in Hong Kong serving to her dad and mom by their grief over Li’s loss of life.
May she be working undercover for Salem PD in some capability? In that case, popping up when she’s alleged to be on the opposite aspect of the world suggests she’s not excellent at this.
Will Holly’s overdose spark Sloan’s need to make issues proper for Nicole?
Sloan feels responsible about making Nicole suppose her child is useless after studying that Holly may go away, too.
This looks like too little, too late.
Even when Sloan decides to surrender the charade, how can she give Nicole the newborn again with out confessing that it was Nicole’s all alongside?
Will Paulina’s well being points intrude together with her capability to do her job?
Paulina is continuous to be in denial about her well being points, together with hiding them from others.
Abe and Chanel already know, so the one folks of consequence who do not are those that work within the mayor’s workplace.
After all, there isn’t any requirement that public officers disclose their well being standing so long as they proceed to have the ability to work. However with Paulina’s psychological well being points, it may be tough for her to cover her anxiousness about her potential most cancers.
Brady and Theresa be taught one thing disturbing once they go to Tate in jail.
They uncover that Tate has a black eye, they usually need him out of there posthaste.
They’re proper — sixteen-year-olds shouldn’t be held in grownup jails, particularly when Tate’s alleged crime is giving tablets to a peer who then overdosed.
There is not even proof of that, and there is definitely none that he laced the medication himself or is dealing medication to others.
Why, why, why aren’t they calling Shane or Andrew for assist with this? The ISA ought to have the assets to maneuver Tate to someplace safer, and Theresa’s father is the group’s regional director.
Paulina prepares to honor Martin Luther King on the anniversary of his beginning.
I really like that Days of Our Lives has been giving extra consideration to celebrating various cultures currently (even when the best way they launched Everett’s Jewishness is a bit suspect.)
In step with that, Paulina will get to honor Martin Luther King as a part of her job as mayor.
I hope we get to go to the occasion this time relatively than listening to somebody follow the speech of their lounge. It will even be superior if Theo returned to attend this.
Harris affords to get Lucas out of jail, however Lucas must threat his life.
Harris is determined to search out out who’s behind the medication — does he suspect it is Ava after she dumped him for no motive?
He needs to make use of Lucas as a confidential informant. Solely in Salem would somebody want the permission of an grownup prisoner’s mom to make such a deal, however Kate dislikes it.
This can be a retread of when Lucas’ nephew JJ went undercover the primary time Clyde was inflicting drug issues in Salem, however it might be a robust story anyway.
And bringing Lucas again isn’t a foul concept (though that silly Lucas kidnapping Sami story got here shut.)
Tensions spill over between Nicole and EJ.
EJ’s tried to be understanding of Nicole’s want for consolation from Eric. He is not able to giving it himself and needs his spouse to heal from her a number of tragedies.
However that acceptance of Eric in her life was out of character for him, so ultimately, he would explode over it.
It appears now we’re on the level within the story the place EJ, like Rafe earlier than him, is starting to have sufficient of Eric, just for Nicole to insist they’re simply pals.
