Days of our Lives Early Spoilers Feb 9-13: Philip Delivers Stunning News & Cat Makes Power Play

Days of Our Lives spoilers for February 9th – 13th reveal Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) stuns somebody and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) is making a really big move.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we’ll dive into what is coming next week.

Phillip Stuns Gabi on Days of Our Lives

On Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) absolutely stunned by Philip Kiriakis. He may have a big romantic surprise up his sleeve. But will Gabi ever admit how she spied on Titan for Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis)? Or is Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) going to drop that bomb to mess things up since he’s crushing on her?

Over in Alamainia, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) get new info. Rafe found that tablet in Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel)’s house in Alamainia, and Eli and Rafe are going to grill Vivian. I suspect she might have meant for them to find it because it wasn’t well hidden, and she knew they were going to search. She seemed unconcerned about them searching, so she’s going to tell Eli and Rafe a very convincing story about that.

Vivian Targets Dimitri on DOOL

Vivian may be throwing Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) under the bus as part of her scheme with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) to take him down because, as we know, Vivian Alamain hates the von Leuschners and Gwen, in particular, hates Dimitri.

Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) tells Abe Carver (James Reynolds) that he is so sorry. He had no idea that Theo was going to be kidnapped. Liam, according to him, thought he was prepping that crypt for some kind of doomsday crisis, like a bomb shelter, by stocking up on food and water. I’m not sure Liam Selejko’s telling the whole truth, though.

Gabi Hernandez Mourns Stefan DiMera and Drama at Bayview

On Thursday, February 5th, we’ve got Rafe and Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes) comforting Gabi. It looks like Rafe and Eli leave Alamainia convinced that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) really is dead. If they tested the remains, it looks like they got a DNA match.

Of course, Gabi told Philip that she was over Stefan, but being confronted with the truth of his death is going to be something else because that was her guy. That was her person, and they really got cheated by Vivian.

Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) are playing nice over at Bayview in front of Dr. Gregory. Sophia’s going to write Holly a much nicer note this time that doesn’t say she hates her. Everything seems less contentious. Sophia may be playing nice so that her minders at Bayview will relax their guard and she can escape again.

Rafe Grills Kristen on Days

Rafe circles back around to question Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). And I wonder if it’ll be about what they found out in Alamainia about the CCTV on the crypt or if it’s about her working with him to take down EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Maybe a little bit of both. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) needs Tate Black (Leo Howard)’s help to get through to Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), and this could be about steering clear of Sophia Choi,

or it could be about what happened with Rachel in the judge’s chambers. We may just get a play-by-play after the fact to find out what happened and if she’s been sentenced to an indefinite stay in Bayview. Obviously, Kristen was thinking she could just bring her home, but I don’t think it’s going to go that way because we know that Alice Halsey has her last episodes coming soon because she has left Days of Our Lives.

Stefano DiMera Memorial and EJ DiMera’s Rise to Power

Friday, February 6th, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) wants EJ and Kristen to just tap the brakes and stop their bickering so they can have some family unity for just a moment—long enough to bury their dad, Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo). I guess they’re going to inter ashes, and we’ll see if they put him back in the crypt or if they’re going to do something else with him.

Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), Chad, EJ, Kristen, and Theo are all definitely on the lock for Stefano DiMera’s memorial at the DiMera mansion. We may also see Gwen there, along with Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow), Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), and Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk). I know Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) is supposed to be back this week, so she may be there, or they may just show up for the after-party.

Obviously, the family’s not partying, but I know Roman is probably ready to throw a big after-party. He and Marlena have a moment this week that upsets Kate. We also have Abe stunned by a request from Theo. I wonder if this has anything to do with Liam or Stefano’s memorial. Does Theo actually invite Abe? That is the last place he’d want to be.

EJ the DiMera Patriarch on DOOL?

At the memorial, EJ says that despite Stefano’s flaws, he did love them all. EJ promises they will not let the House of DiMera fall. It looks like Stefano’s infamous Phoenix ring may be going on EJ’s finger as he takes his place as the patriarch, even though he’s not the oldest. I think he’s the oldest biological child who is in the country and not on the run from the law.

Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) gets a warning from Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and it may be to not let Stefano’s death make him vulnerable to EJ. Plus, he’s telling Johnny that he’s excited that Chanel is carrying a DiMera, but it sounds like those are fighting words because Johnny says he already has a son who’s a DiMera. It would seem strange for EJ to not count Tate as a real DiMera when he considers Tony a brother and Kristen his sister.

Valentine’s Day Romance and Shocking Decisions in Salem

The week of February 9th through the 13th, we are deep into February sweeps. We’re going to see Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) soon decide something surprising about their nuptials. They put out the press release that they were going to elope, but it sounds like in the midst of all this drama with her stalker, Stephanie and Alex decide that they don’t want to wait. There’s no time like the present.

Speaking of romance, Brady and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) decide it’s game on. They’re going to be together and they’re going to date despite Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) not being happy and despite the Kristen and Rachel issues they know will come with this.

Gabi & Philip Head to Miami on Days of Our Lives

Gabi and Philip are going to be heading to Miami. That may be what Philip stunned Gabi with—a surprise getaway for Valentine’s Day. Speaking of V-Day, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) are celebrating their wedding anniversary. They’ve been married a few times, like a good soap couple.

Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) are still in Salem; they’re going to be reminiscing and romancing. Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Abe Carver celebrate Valentine’s Day, but this may be their last good time since Lexie Carver (Renee Jones) may be back from the dead soon, which could put a nail in the coffin of Paulina and Abe’s marriage.

Ari gets a kiss from hunky bad boy Liam soon, and I’m guessing that Gabi is really going to hate that. Doug Williams III was enough of a bad boy, but Liam seems worse. He has the extra baggage of the dead ex, the single dad stuff, and then he’s a criminal—an illiterate criminal. His reading is getting better, though, so at least Abe’s got that sorted out for him.

February Sweeps: The Stalker Strikes and Vivian Alamain’s Next Scheme

We’re also going to find out more about whether Vivian faked out Eli and Rafe with different remains. She might have had Jake DiMera (Jake Lambert)’s remains put in that coffin because, as twins, they would have both tested the same. We only have three episodes of Vivian and then we’re going to have her off-screen with one-sided phone calls with Gwen on the Dimitri scheme.

EJ’s having a struggle. There are just a lot of things going on in his life, and that makes him very vulnerable for Cat to swoop in, get close, try to get info, and plant a kiss on him. Watch for Stephanie, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu), Alex,  and Steve to launch their plan to trap the stalker, but he’s way ahead of them. Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is going to snatch Stephanie from the hospital, and I expect that’s coming during February sweeps.
