Days of our Lives was filled with buzzworthy moments this week, including stories moving right along and a special anniversary. Here’s a look at the most intriguing moments from October 6-10.
Key Takeaways
DOOL fans saw a new side of young Thomas.
Tate is not Sophia’s baby daddy.
Jennifer celebrated 40 years in Salem.
Thomas Let Chad Have It
After learning that Chad (Billy Flynn) was dating Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) and that she impersonated Abigail (Marci Miller), Thomas (Cary Christopher) channeled his inner DiMera. Thomas lost it on his father like never before.
Chad was shocked at Thomas’ unexpected behavior. Thomas tends to be more reserved, but we liked seeing him speak his mind and act out against his father.
The Other Side of Theo/JJ Shooting
Last week, DOOL focused on Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) and his PTSD from JJ (Casey Moss) shooting him years ago. This week, fans got to see things from JJ’s perspective as he tried to resign from the Salem PD.
JJ reliving the shooting to Jada (Elia Cantu) and what happened with Theo during the blackout revealed that he, too, still has issues. Theo’s return and change of behavior are making JJ rethink all his decisions. It was nice to see both sides of this remerging storyline.
Sophia Gets A Reality Check
Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) dropping the bomb that Tate (Leo Howard) is not the father of Baby Tesoro was shocking to Sophia (Rachel Boyd). Even though Sophia is being diabolical right now, the moment reminded us of her vulnerable side.
Sophia definitely convinced herself that Tate was the father of her baby. Watching her learn he wasn’t made us feel for her for a hot second. Then, in true Sophia fashion, she went into crazy mode to stop Sarah from coming clean to Tate or anyone else, bringing us back to reality about her.
Horton Trip Down Memory Lane
Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) hit a major milestone this week. 40 years ago, she arrived in Salem. Along with Jack (Matthew Ashford) and Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes), Jennifer reflected on the past four decades.
Fans were treated to a series of flashbacks that were each wonderful moments in their own right. The ones with Jennifer, Alice (Frances Reid), and Tom (Macdonald Carey) were extra special for anyone watching.
Kayla and Sarah’s Not So Subtle Hint To Brady
With a little help from Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens), Brady (Eric Martsolf) realizes Tate may not be Sophia’s baby daddy. Brady asks Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Sarah for help, but they are already on the case.
Unfortunately for him, they couldn’t just say Sophia was Tesoro’s mom and Tate was not the father. However, Sarah and Kayla made sure to give Brady enough information for him to get there on his own, and he did, which was the Friday cliffhanger.
An honorable mention for the week goes to Maggie (Suzanne Rogers), Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier), and Xander (Paul Telfer) uniting together to face off against Tony (Thaao Penghlis) over Titan and the DiMera family. Seeing Xander, Maggie, and Philip unite was a fantastic moment.
