DAYS Best Moments From October 13-17

There was a lot that happened on Days of our Lives this week, as truth bombs were dropped and relationships were forever changed. Here’s a look at the most interesting moments from October 13-17.

Key Takeaways

Sophia’s lies were one hot topic in Salem.
One new duo hit the sheets.
Family tensions were high on the Peacock soap.

The Move DAYS Fans Saw Coming

It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Tony (Thaao Penghlis) double-crossed Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) after she got the goods on Xander (Paul Telfer) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier). Tony informed Gabi that Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) would be the new DiMera CEO.

Gabi flipped out and threatened revenge on him. However, Tony had an ace up his sleeve to keep her quiet. Tony gave her back full control of Gabi Chic. which helped ease her anger, but we all know Gabi isn’t going to let Tony get away with double-crossing her.

Julie And Chad Face Off Finally

The fallout from Chad (Billy Flynn) dating Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) was still reeling through the Horton house. After a run-in with Cat at the bookstore, Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) didn’t hold back her disappointment in Chad as he reached his breaking point with her meddling.

They had some choice words in an epic blowup. A fed-up Chad gave as good as Julie did before she stormed out, claiming he can’t make things right. It was so nice to see Chad grow a backbone, and it is clearly helping set the stage for Flynn’s exit.

Father and Son On The Outs

Watching Abe (James Reynolds) and Theo spar over the latter taking the DiMera CEO job was entertaining. Theo isn’t the same young man who went to Africa years ago, and he’s ready to channel his inner DiMera, even if it means taking on his father.

DAYS fans knew Abe wouldn’t be on board with Theo being part of anything DiMera. However, watching him break down to Paulina (Jackée Harry) about how the DiMeras destroyed Lexi (Renée Jones) had us in our feelings. This story has history and heart and is forming a major crack in the Price/Carver family.

And Sophia’s Baby Daddy Is…

In another move DAYS fans have predicted for nearly a year, Aaron (Louis Tomeo) revealed to Tate (Leo Howard) that he also slept with Sophia (Rachel Boyd). Tate was furious, and Aaron quivered. The guys realized that if Aaron had spoken up sooner, things would have been so different.

Their fight was short-lived, as they figured out that Sophia was the real person to blame for the situation. They even bro-hugged it out before Holly arrived (Ashley Puzemis), and the three of them recapped all the lies Sophia had told.

Love In The Afternoon

Now that they no longer work together, Gabi and Philip wasted no time getting busy. They have been flirty for months, but once she told him Gabi Chic was all hers, things changed. Philip did his best flirting as he tried to get her to bring Gabi Chic back to Titan.

Gabi wasn’t fully into that idea, but she was all in on the signals Phillip was throwing her way. The two exchanged some witty banter before Gabi went all in and kissed him, which led to them hitting the sheets. Soap Hub predicted that Philip and Gabi would be a good match, and so far, they did not disappoint.

The honorable mention of the week goes to Sophia’s mom, Amy (Shi Ne Nielson), slapping Johnny (Carson Boatman) in the Friday cliffhanger after she learned her daughter is missing and a liar.
