Tragedies have a manner of both bringing {couples} nearer collectively or tearing them aside.
Spoilers for Days of Our Lives throughout the week of 1-08-24 counsel that EJ will quickly attain his breaking level, with Nicole frequently turning to Eric for consolation.
Are these two headed for a break up for the sake of drama? We hope not, but it surely’s not wanting good.
EJ hasn’t precisely been a mannequin husband. Instead of being there for Nicole, he is working throughout city insisting on getting vengeance — and he is obtained his sights set on the mistaken particular person.
Unfortunately, it does not go properly 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’s disappointing. Brady’s all the time stood by Nicole’s aspect, even when others turned in opposition to her for silly causes.
Nicole desires somebody responsible for Holly’s overdose as a lot as EJ does, but it surely does not make any sense for Tate to be the scapegoat right here. Even if EJ had been proper — which he isn’t, at most, Tate gave medication he purchased from another person to at least one particular person.
Prosecuting him with out going after the folks supplying medication to all the sellers does not resolve something. It will not stem the uptick in drug exercise or forestall future overdoses.
It’s pure revenge, nothing extra, and that is not what the DA — or his spouse — must be doing.
Usually, 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 ‘dying’ and has talked him down on different events.
What occurred to that? Why is she agreeing with him whereas in search of consolation from her “good friend” 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 an alternative.
Can’t now we have a reputable love triangle with out the writers telling us who we should 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 in the drug ring.
Chad questions Stefan and Ava about their involvement with the medication that led to Holly’s precarious scenario. This might be attention-grabbing irrespective of which manner it goes.
Chad’s grief about Abigail’s dying features a need to get revenge in opposition to Clyde for inflicting it. If Stefan ranges with him, Chad is likely to be prepared to do what EJ wasn’t and take Clyde down as soon as and for all.
But Chad can also be purported to be serving to Everett bust the drug ring, so will he keep loyal to Stefan or stab him in the again as soon as he has no extra use for him?
Tripp is shocked to find Wendy continues to be in Salem.
Few viewers might be proud of a Tripp/Wendy reunion. Those two made a bland couple, particularly since Wendy was rewritten as a typical Salem woman as an alternative of a badass girl who refused to just accept culturally-based gender limitations.
But what on Earth is she doing? She was purported to be in Hong Kong serving to her dad and mom by their grief over Li’s dying.
Could she be working undercover for Salem PD in some capability? If so, popping up when she’s purported to be on the different aspect of the world suggests she’s not superb 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 might move away, too.
This looks like too little, too late.
Even if Sloan decides to surrender the charade, how can she give Nicole the child again with out confessing that it was Nicole’s all alongside?
Will Paulina’s well being points intrude along with her skill 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 solely folks of consequence who do not are those that work in the mayor’s workplace.
Of course, there isn’t any requirement that public officers disclose their well being standing so long as they proceed to have the ability to work. But with Paulina’s psychological well being points, it is likely to be tough for her to cover her nervousness about her potential most cancers.
Brady and Theresa be taught one thing disturbing after 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 drugs 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 sources 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 these days (even when the manner they launched Everett’s Jewishness is a bit suspect.)
In holding with that, Paulina will get to honor Martin Luther King as half of her job as mayor.
I hope we get to go to the occasion this time fairly than listening to somebody observe the speech of their front room. It would even be superior if Theo returned to attend this.
Harris provides to get Lucas out of jail, however Lucas must threat his life.
Harris is determined to seek out out who’s behind the medication — does he suspect it is Ava after she dumped him for no motive?
He desires to make use of Lucas as a confidential informant. Only in Salem would somebody want the permission of an grownup prisoner’s mom to make such a deal, however Kate dislikes it.
This is a retread of when Lucas’ nephew JJ went undercover the first time Clyde was inflicting drug issues in Salem, but it surely might be a powerful story anyway.
And bringing Lucas again is rarely a foul thought (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 succesful of giving it himself and desires his spouse to heal from her a number of tragedies.
But that acceptance of Eric in her life was out of character for him, so finally, he would explode over it.
It appears now we’re at the level in the story the place EJ, like Rafe earlier than him, is starting to have sufficient of Eric, solely for Nicole to insist they’re simply mates.
