On “Days of Our Lives” this Wednesday EJ DiMera reveals his latest scheme to Dr. Jeffrey Russell: a plan to acquire the entire hospital. EJ’s true target? Control over Russell’s groundbreaking Versavix research, a project with ties to Bo Brady’s survival and potentially even the mysterious key Kayla Johnson seems to possess regarding the lab and Bo’s health. Whether EJ’s takeover bid succeeds is anyone’s guess, but you can bet there will be fireworks along the way.
Elsewhere in Salem, Belle Black and Shawn Brady find solace in each other’s company as they grapple with their fathers’ ongoing struggles. “Days” fans know that shared hardship can often bring people closer, and it seems Belle and Shawn’s bond may be strengthening amidst the family drama.
Meanwhile, Xander Kiriakis gets an update from Alex Kiriakis about a literary discovery that could shake up Titan-DiMera: Stephanie Johnson’s unpublished novel. Seeing potential dollar signs (and maybe a way to impress Stephanie), Alex wastes no time pitching “One Stormy Night” as the next big thing for the publishing arm of the family business. Convincing Stephanie to get on board, however, might be a tougher sell than Alex anticipates. He’ll be putting in some serious effort to make his literary dreams, and maybe something more, a reality.
“Days of Our Lives” airs Wednesday, May 7 on Peacock.
