Days of our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, July 1 demonstrate that it’s now how old you are, but how helpless you are, as Brady and Kristen fight over Rachel… and EJ and Chanel draw battle lines over Johnny.

Next on Days of our Lives

Now that Johnny (Carson Boatman) has told pretty much all of Salem that he had a gun, but he didn’t shoot EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), Rachel (Alice Halsey) doesn’t need to keep her secret anymore. Which should put an end to her mysterious stomach aches.

It doesn’t, however, put an end to Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) sniping over what’s best for her. That crisis may be over, but considering how many times it’s been mentioned recently that Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) raised Rachel for a year before Brady and Kristen got her back, is there another crisis looming on the horizon?

Quiet, the Grown Ups are Talking

Johnny isn’t a child, like Rachel. But EJ still sees him as one. More worrying, so does his wife.

Chanel (Raven Bowens) goes storming over to her father-in-law’s home to yell at him about Johnny. They need to take care of him. So do Roman (Josh Taylor), Marlena (Deidre Hall), and Kate (Lauren Koslow). Because everyone agrees, Johnny is NOT capable of doing that himself.

The Young People

It may be summertime, and they may have graduated from high school, but Sophia (Rachel Boyd) and Tate (Leo Howard) aren’t exactly taking it easy. Sophia reminds Tate they still need to find adoptive parents for their baby, because the due date is sooner rather than later.

Meanwhile, Ari (Marisa Reyes) continues making herself at home by looking up Doug (Peyton Meyer) and seeing if they can pick up where they left off, not exactly friends, more like vague acquaintances, with benefits.
