Days of our Lives Early Spoilers Feb 23-27: Leo Desperately Covers His Tracks & EJ Senses Something’s Wrong

Days of Our Lives early weekly spoilers for February 23rd through the 27th suggest Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is scrambling and EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is suspicious.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week. Then we’re going to dive into what is ahead next week.

Days of our Lives Early Spoilers: Gabi Takes Care of Philip

On Wednesday, February 18th, we’ve got Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) taking good care of Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). There is more hot stuff coming in Miami for these two. Plus, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) have a heart-to-heart with their daughter, Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). Now that Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Brady agreed to see where things go but keep it private for now, he wants to make sure that Kristen and Rachel aren’t going to be an obstacle to his new relationship.

I wish him good luck with that. Dr. Marke Greene (Jonah Robinson) told Brady to stand firm with Rachel and Kristen, insisting that his love life is off-limits to them and their schemes and plotting. He says it’s none of their business. That’s not going to go over well with his ex or his daughter. I’m sure that Rachel and Kristen are going to plot behind Brady’s back, hopefully independently. If they do it together, that’s so much worse.

Gwen Rizczech and Xander Cook’s Steamy Encounter and EJ DiMera’s Memory Search

Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) and Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) get it on after the hands-on dirty talking golf session. So, Gwen has tackled Xander onto her bed, and they’re going to get down and dirty. In a recent interview, however, Paul Telfer said that Xander isn’t taking this seriously at all.

He is still devastated by his split from Sarah and he isn’t in any place to get emotionally involved with Gwen or any other woman. So, this is strictly physical for him, but Gwen doesn’t feel that way. Plus, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) tries to trigger EJ’s memories.

Remember, they were in that Italian rehab hospital together, and Cat used to read Wuthering Heights to EJ. The question is whether Cat is trying to trigger EJ’s memories because of her ISA job, personal reasons, or curiosity. I’m guessing it’s the investigation that she and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) are working on.

DOOL Spoilers: Jada Hunter and Theo Carver’s Date Night Distractions

This week, we’re going to see Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) noticing while she’s out on her date with Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) that he has drifted off. That’s because he’s daydreaming about Gabi being at his table instead of Jada.

She notices that Theo’s kind of off somewhere and she asks, “Where did you just go?” If he’s smart, he’ll zip it and he won’t tell Jada he was thinking about another woman.

Thursday Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Villains Plot and Sorority Rivalries

On Thursday, February 19th, we’ve got Kristen getting an update from Gwen, and she’s sharing her own update. These two may be toasting to what they think is progress with the men that they want.

Kristen has moved in with Brady, and of course, she’s going to ignore his claim that they won’t be together. Gwen got Xander in her bed and she thinks it means something, but only to her. This champagne toast may be a little premature. Sarah and Brady try and sneak in another smooch, but they may be seen by Rachel or Kristen.

Sneaky Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) is enjoying Holly Jonas‘s (Ashley Puzemis) epic downfall. It is easy to keep track of it on social media thanks to all the sorority babes. Things are going to get worse when Arianna “Ari” Grace Horton (Marissa Reyes) has to tell Holly that the sorority that Holly really wanted has asked Ari to pledge to them.

Leo Stark and Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera Plan Their Great Escape from Salem on DOOL

Xander’s feelings for Sarah won’t go away; they continue to plague him. Doing the deed with his ex, Gwen, isn’t going to change that. This is not some rebound romance for Xander. I think it was pretty much just stress relief, and he may be surprised to find out Gwen’s thinking it’s the start of something on Days of our Lives.

Leo and Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) get busy trying to prove his innocence in the DiMera kidnappings. Leo is on the task of getting Dimitri’s ankle monitor off of him so they can leave Salem and, in fact, leave the country completely.

Friday Spoilers: Secret Agendas and Impending Danger

On Friday, February 20th, we’ve got Gabi and Jada chatting about their happy new romances. Gabi just got back from the romantic Miami trip, but Jada’s guy, Theo, has his eye on Gabi.

Theo has dirt that he could use to break up Gabi and Philip. So, I don’t think Gabi and Jada are going to be happy for too long. Plus, it’s already been confirmed in official Days spoilers that Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) and Jada reunite soon, possibly after he is shot.

Madame Vivian Alamain’s Henchmen and the Threat to Liam on Days

Ivan Marais (Ivan G’Vera), who of course is Madame Vivian Alamain’s (Louise Sorel) main henchman, is busy tying up loose ends. Ivan is plotting with Vivian’s new henchman, Klaus, who is the one who hired Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) and was seemingly coordinating with Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier).

They can’t have the kidnappings come back around to be blamed on Madame Vivian. That means Liam is a loose end they may need to snip. This could be what gets Shawn-Douglas shot.

Meanwhile, Dimitri and Leo jet to Alamainia looking for answers and evidence to exonerate Dimitri. However, no Vivian scenes are expected. Vivian is done for right now. Gwen and henchmen Klaus and Ivan are going to take it from here.

EJ DiMera’s Suspicions and Rafe Hernandez’s Shocking News

EJ has questions for Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) about Cat. I wonder if he is suspicious. I wonder if EJ is wondering if Cat has been nosy or asking questions. Maybe her pressing EJ about their shared history has him seeking out Rita to find out if there’s more to this because he is channeling Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) at this point.

He might be smart and question her motives. Rafe has surprising news for Gabi. He may have confirmation that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) signature on the divorce decree was forged. She could be a very, very wealthy widow very soon.

February 23-27 Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Stephanie Johnson’s Kidnapping and Stalker Drama

The week of February 23rd through the 27th is the last week of sweeps, and they wrap on Wednesday, February 25th. Things are going to build up to a huge crescendo in next week’s action.

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) is kidnapped at the hospital soon. Of course, Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) is going to be suspected, especially since he didn’t get to leave town. The stalker may take drastic action after Stephanie has married Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). They aren’t wearing their rings because they’re trying to keep it private, but there’s that bug in the photo frame.

Once they head back to their apartment and start talking about how they fooled the stalker, things may escalate drastically and dangerously. Jeremy Horton is going to continue being portrayed until late April, so we know he’s involved in more of these stalker accusations. Whether he’s the culprit or not, my vote is still “not.”

Rachel Black’s Schemes and Shawn-Douglas Brady in the Line of Fire

Rachel may plot to put Kristen and Brady back together. Sarah may need to watch out and be on high pistachio alert. Liam could be in grave danger. Klaus may come back to Salem to wipe Liam out because he has been talking to the cops and gave them a very accurate sketch. He described the scar and everything.

We may see Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux (Casey Moss) and Shawn tailing Liam to find out who he’s working for, especially if he’s made contact with them. This could be when Shawn is shot on duty because we know JJ and Liam are both there when it happens. It is winter and there’s snow on the ground; it could happen anytime.

Xander Cook’s Unrequited Love and Holly Jonas’s Downfall

Xander cannot get Sarah out of his head. I wonder if he will let Gwen continue to get closer to him thinking it’s friends with benefits while Gwen thinks it’s a new start to their romance.

Tate Black (Leo Howard) sees that Holly’s totally out of control and he doesn’t know how to help. Ari also notices Holly’s behavior and she’s not a fan; she calls her out. EJ is going to show Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) the woman in the tube soon, and hopefully, we’re going to see that before sweeps are over.

Days of Our Lives Casting News and Departures

Plus, Ashley Puzemis posted on Instagram that she wrapped filming her last scenes as Holly Jonas. She’ll be out of Salem in about nine months, give or take.

There is no word as to whether the actors who play Tate, Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) have also wrapped their runs, because all four got pink-slipped at the same time right after the Christmas holidays.
