Key Takeaways

  • Sophia may be alive, sending shockwaves through Salem.
  • EJ zeroes in on Kristen over the attempt on Johnny.
  • Tony and Anna return as Stefano’s will-reading stirs DiMera drama.

Cold Hard Truth

Amy (Shi Ne Nielsen) arrives at the Salem police department after being summoned by Jada (Elia Cantu). “What couldn’t you tell me over the phone?” asks Amy, while being led into Jada’s office. Jada has to deliver the cold, hard truth. “There is a possibility that the blood could be a match for Sophia,” responds Jada.

Staying or Going?

Meanwhile, Alex (Robert Scott Wilson, did you know this about the actor?) meets with Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) at the Brady Pub to discuss their daughter and Joy’s plans moving forward. “So are you saying you want to stay?” says Alex, hoping Joy won’t take baby Kelsey and leave Salem. “I do, responds Joy.

Making Accusations

EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) confronts Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) about the part she played in Sophia’s (Rachel Boyd) downfall. “Are you suggesting that I had something to do with Sophia trying to kill Johnny?” questions an appalled Kristen. Apparently, yes, that’s exactly what EJ is suggesting.

Later, Kristen gets the shock of her life when she hears someone entering the mansion. “EJ, is that you?” she calls out. Nope. It’s not EJ. It’s Sophia.

 

“What’s the matter, Kristen?” coos the teenager that Kristen left for dead. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Where There’s A Will…

It’s time to read the late Stefano’s will, and his family is returning home for the occasion. “It’s good to be back, isn’t it?” remarks Tony (Thaao Penghlis), while entering the DiMera home.

Anna (Leann Hunley) isn’t so sure about the situation. “Is passing on any of this really a good thing?” she asks. Only time will tell.

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) preview video for the week of October 20-24 reveals that Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) will suffer a psychological break. DOOL fans will see Sophia collapse and seemingly turn catatonic as the stress finally catches up with her.

Days’ weekly promo begins with Maggie Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) saying Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) has been lying to Sarah Horton Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey), who pushes Xander to tell her that he didn’t attack Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier).

Xander won’t be able to do that, so Sarah will realize he’s deceived her again. That news will leave Sarah furious enough to remove her wedding ring set and throw Xander out of the house!

Days of Our Lives Week of October 20 Preview: Sophia’s Psychological Break, Collapses and Turns Catatonic

In the town square, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) will confront Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) and insist he’s got some nerve. Jeremy will wonder what Alex is talking about, but Alex will fire back that he knows what he did.

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) will warn Alex that Jeremy isn’t worth it, but they’ll both have it all wrong. EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) was the person who outed Stephanie to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) as Anastasia Sands, so Alex should really be confronting him instead.

Over with Sophia, she’ll finally be found and will face backlash from all the people she’s hurt with her mountain of lies. The stress will become too much for Sophia, who’ll lose consciousness on the pub floor.

Once Sophia is rushed to the hospital, Days spoilers say Sarah will examine her and give Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) some difficult updates.

“It seems Sophia has suffered a psychological break,” Sarah admits in Days’ weekly preview video before Sophia is shown in a trance as Amy hugs her.

Of course, Sophia is one crafty character, so it’s possible this will be part of another twisted scheme. Will Sophia fake this psychological break or genuinely suffer one like Sarah believes?

Regardless, Days of Our Lives spoilers say more Sophia shockers are on the way, so we’ll fill you in as more details on her medical crisis emerge. CDL’s where you want to be for the hottest Days of Our Lives spoilers, updates and news, so make us your top DOOL source.
