Days of Our Lives fans – get ready – we have got some scoop from our leaker about a new love coming for Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey), for Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier), and others as summer heats up in Salem. We’ve got a bromance reunion, a couple of intense breakups, and several new couples on the horizon. So, let’s get into it.
Days of Our Lives: Xander Kiriakis Goes Off the Rails
If you are current on your today’s episodes, you have seen Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) going off the rails lately. We saw him making assumptions about Philip on top of the fraud and forgery that is known. So Xander lost it, and he kicked Philip’s butt so bad it landed him in the ICU, and he’s still unconscious.
Then Xander ranted at Sarah about covering for Philip, and she slapped back harder at Xander. She said she had to protect Victoria. You know, he’s the bad guy that she always feared, yada yada. And she kicked her hubby out of the Kiriakis mansion and out of her life.
Plus, after Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) sided with Sarah and she laid into Xander with a couple of threats, well, he stole and stabbed and ripped apart that portrait of his father, the late great Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston), that Constantine (John Kapelos) had given to Maggie.
And then this week, Xander is in handcuffs, arrested for Philip’s brutal beating. And adding insult to injury, Xander loses the hospital to his sworn enemy EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) because of the arrest. So with Philip still conked out, Xander is heading to jail, and he still despises his brother at the moment, but he’s starting to see he overreacted.
Salem Spoilers: Philip and Xander Kiriakis Bromance Reunion
So that’s the first relationship we want to talk about. Right now, Philip and Xander’s brotherly bond does seem irretrievably broken. Philip wanted to get the miracle drug first to save Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) and try to get back in Xander’s good graces.
So now, Dandy Xandy finally realizes that Philip wasn’t trying to profit but was trying to help save Bo, and he was actually trying to help Xander win the bid for the hospital over EJ. But Xander almost killed his brother.
So when Philip wakes up, our leaker says in a twist, he won’t press charges. So Belle Black is not going to get to prosecute Xander pummeling Philip nearly to death. And additionally, in a significant twist, Xander and Philip resume their brotherly relationship. The brother breakup becomes a makeup and possibly causes a shakeup.
Days of Our Lives: Philip and Xander Reunite
Now, I for one cannot wait for the bromance between the Kiriakis brothers to resume. I loved seeing Xander and Philip high five when they won a deal together. They were so cute as brothers with their bond. But how will Kate Roberts react when Philip and Xander get thick as thieves again? Well, I bet Kate’s going to hate it.
And with Philip and Xander reunited as friends and brothers, guess what? Our leaker says Philip keeps pressing Xander to get back with Sarah. Philip according to our leaker, becomes the biggest cheerleader that’s urging a Xander and Sarah reunion. And he won’t quit till he puts them back together since Philip knows that he is a big part of why Xander and Sarah split, and he’s Team Xarah all the way.
Plus, we know big brother Bo wakes up, and he gets involved with some sort of Kiriakis Titan plot, and he’s running around with Philip and Xander as they’re trying to do something good for the family. And if you remember a couple years ago, Bo wanted to run Titan while he was in his intense Kiriakis phase before his memories finally came back.
Days of Our Lives: Sarah Horton’s New Romance with Brady Black?
Okay, breaking from the bromance, now let’s talk about a romance. Our leaker says that throughout the summer, Xander and Sarah remain split, and their marriage is in tatters. Although we were also told they will not divorce. And it seems like while she’s split from Xander, some other man gets close to Sarah. We are told it’s another family member of Xander’s who slides close to Sarah. And we already saw a glimpse of it this week. The person in question is Brady Black (Eric Martsolf).
Our leaker says that Sarah and Brady keep getting closer this summer. And remember, Sarah’s been involved with Brady’s stepbrother, Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan), before. And then obviously with Xander, she’s had a few love interests. So, not only has she been involved with others, there’s Rex Brady (Kyle Lowder) in that mix. So, a lot of Brady and Kiriakis action on Days of our Lives.
So, anyway, we are going to see Sarah and Brady getting closer, which is kind of interesting. However, despite it being some sort of slow burn thing between them, it’s going to be more of a situationship than a relationship between Sarah and Brady, according to our leaker. And they also told us that it’s not going to evolve into anything substantial for Sarah and Brady. So, that’s good.
Salem Spoilers: Xander’s Love Life and Xarah Endgame
Now, let’s talk about Xander’s romantic prospects while he is split from Sarah. His toxic ex Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is back to Salem this July. So, a little over a month from now, we’re getting her back. And there’s some fans that really enjoyed Xander and Gwen together. I do think a lot more viewers ship Xander with Sarah, though.
So, our Days of Our Lives insider says that even though Xander is split from Sarah, he remains very much in love with her. And we’ve heard that although Gwen wants to get back with hunky Xander, he is not down for a reunion. Not at all.
So despite Gwen trying to get her claws back into Xander and Brady leaning into Sarah, it does look like we’ve got this endgame goal of seeing Xander ultimately reunite with Sarah. And that may be happening going into the 60th anniversary episodes in November, closer to Christmas.
Days of Our Lives: Philip Kiriakis and Gabi Romance Heats Up
And now let’s talk about Philip getting a love interest once he wakes up from that brotherly bashing that he got from Xander. Our Days leaker says there’s a budding romance coming soon between Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip.
For the past several many weeks, if you’re watching, Gabi’s been on the outs with her boyfriend Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux, and it looks like they’re probably done.
That’s because Gabi was a suspect in EJ’s shooting and actually may still be, and JJ had to grill her about it. He had to, it’s his job. And to be fair, he did catch Gabi at the DiMera mansion with a loaded gun aimed at EJ and he talked her down from shooting him. So, you can’t blame JJ for asking Gabi you know, hey honey, did you shoot EJ. He has to ask. And Gabi is not getting that at all. She’s still lashing out at JJ.
Days of Our Lives: Philip Gets Close to Gabi
Now, Gabi did ask for his help to find Ari this week, but once that was resolved, you know, Gabby’s going to be back to not appreciating JJ. And it feels like the Gabi/JJ ship has sailed. Of course, that’ll make Julie extremely happy because she never wanted JJ to get with her.
So, we’re going to see Philip instead getting close to Gabi. And right now she’s mad that Philip and Xander took over DiMera, which means they took over Gabi Chic, and they’re not going to let her walk away with her company.
But maybe once Philip’s out of the hospital, back to work, he’s going to play nice with Gabi even though they are forcing her to keep her company under the Titan umbrella. And soon, according to our leaker, Philip is romancing Gabi. Now she might get into that to make JJ jealous, but then it’s going to turn into something.
Days of Our Lives:
To sum it up, Xander’s getting chased by Gwen, but isn’t interested. Brady and Sarah have some sort of thing that’ll go nowhere because she’s destined to get back with Xander. And Philip gets hot and heavy with Gabby and also reunites in a brotherly bond with Xander. So, the big winner in all of this, despite this brutal beating that he’s taken, is Philp. He’s going to come out of this with lots of stuff going on good in his life.
