Salem’s holiday season looks less than merry and bright, especially with the unwelcome return of a familiar face. While Steve and Kayla find a moment of peace amidst the drama, other couples face turbulent times. Rafe Hernandez, grappling with work-related tension with Jada Hunter, seeks solace in a conversation with Steve Johnson. Their holiday cheer might be short-lived if the rumors of Rafe’s doppelganger, Arnold Feniger, returning to town are true.
Elsewhere in Salem, Kayla expresses concern to Stephanie about her complicated love life. With Stephanie still harboring feelings for Alex Kiriakis while simultaneously growing closer to Philip Kiriakis, Kayla senses a recipe for disaster. The potential for heartbreak hangs heavy in the air, threatening to overshadow the festive season.
But the real bombshell drops when EJ DiMera receives a visit from someone he recognizes, and it’s not Santa Claus. All signs point to the return of Arnold Feniger, Rafe’s look-alike who last wreaked havoc in Salem back in 2011. EJ’s reaction suggests this reunion will be anything but joyful. With Galen Gering set to play both Rafe and Arnold, the stage is set for a tangled web of mistaken identities and potential mayhem.
