Days of our Lives spoilers for Thursday, August 7, put Anna and Tony at the center of a mystery about the late (?) Stefano DiMera.

Anna Has News about Stefano

Ever since Susan (Stacy Haiduk) shrieked about feeling Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) presence in the DiMera Mansion, EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) has been a tiny bit curious about his father’s status: As in Dead… or Alive? Now, Anna (Leann Hunley) has something to say about her father-in-law. Something Tony (Thaao Penghlis) may not be excited to hear.

Belle and EJ Secretly Meet

While Johnny (Carson Boatman) continues to worry about the minor detail of whether he will be found guilty of trying to murder his father, said father, EJ, puts his own concerns on hold to meet with opposing counsel, Belle (Martha Madison).

Sure, he wants to discuss his son’s case, totally. But if something more were to develop… And that something more had better not be a discussion of what they will do now that her sister and his ex-wife, Sami (Alison Sweeney), is back in Salem!

Steve Confronts Alex

Steve (Stephen Nichols) confided in Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) that, while investigating the Kiriakis family in general, he found out something about Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) in particular—and it wasn’t good.

Now Steve worries about what this means for Alex’s relationship with Stephanie (Abigail Klein). And unlike most people who worry without doing anything about it, Steve takes his questions straight to the source and confronts his little girl’s current fling.

Gabi Opens Up to Xander

Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Xander (Paul Telfer) have been awfully chummy lately, haven’t they? She helped him with Victoria, and he offered her support when Ari (Marissa Reyes) went missing… Well, now it’s time for another heart-to-heart between them. Just how close are these former foes going to get?
