A surprise kiss pales in comparison to a shocking pregnancy announcement, according to the Days of our

Lives spoilers preview. Plus, brothers Philip and Xander face off for the family fortune while Jennifer

hones in on the culprit who stole Alice’s necklace. Here’s your DAYS video preview for the week of

December 16-20, 2024.

Hot Stuff

Javi (Al Calderon) checks out a photo of JJ (Casey Moss) while discussing Gabi’s (Cherie Jimenez) recent undercover caper with him. And let’s just say he’s impressed.

“He’s totally hot. What’s the problem?” asks Javi. Gabi makes it clear that she and JJ are just friends. “I do not have the hots for the guy,” she insists. But is Gabi protesting a tad too much?

Surprise Moves and Reactions

A long-ago couple reconnects with a spontaneous smooch. It happens when Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier), his ex-fiance, surprises Stephanie (Abigail Klein) with a kiss. Albeit taken aback, she doesn’t push him away.

And JJ and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) both hear something that surprises them. “What?” they both ask incredulously.

Facing Off

Meanwhile, the court battle for the Kiriakis empire is about to begin with Philip, who’s represented by Belle (Martha Madison), facing off against Xander (Paul Telfer), who’s represented by Justin (Wally Kurth). Philip can’t help but taunt his bastard half-brother before the proceedings. “May Victor’s favorite son win,” Philip declares smugly.

And Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) is told something that makes her react the same way as JJ and Alex above. “What?” she asks.

Missing Diamonds

Doug (Peyton Meyer) visits Leo (Greg Rikaart) with Alice’s diamond necklace in hand. Apparently, he’s heard about Leo’s past with stolen jewelry. Leo takes a look at the pricey sparkler and smirks. “Can you sell it for me or not?” asks Doug.

Back at the Horton house, Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) discusses what happened to the family’s precious heirloom with Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes). “Maybe Doug is the one who stole Gran’s necklace,” Jennifer proposes.

Surprise Revelations

During a conversation with Steve (Stephen Nichols), Roman (Josh Taylor) is the next Salemite to ask a perplexed “What?” And he’s followed by Brady (Eric Martsolf), Kate (Lauren Koslow), and Paulina (Jackée Harry).

But no one is more surprised than Tate (Leo Howard) when Sophia (Madelyn Kientz) seeks him out and makes a major announcement. “I’m pregnant,” she reveals. Tate can’t believe his ears. “You’re sure you’re pregnant,” he asks, hoping beyond hope that somehow it’s a mistake now that he’s reconciled with Holly (Ashley Puzemis).
