Days of Our Lives
Sonny was shocked to learn the truth about Evan as Ciara and Will rushed to stop him. Marlena did her best to stall Ben’s execution as Ciara dragged Evan to the prison at gunpoint to confess the truth. Rafe brought Evan into custody but he would not give up David’s location. Roman and Hattie discussed their feelings towards each other and it looks like Roman likes her more than he is letting on. After Kayla’s goading, Dr. Rolf suggested that he perform a brain chip procedure on Marlena to make her more susceptible to Stefano. Justin and John began working on their plan to stop Stefano. They wanted Hattie to pretend to be Marlena again but Marlena knew that wouldn’t work. Their plan to rescue Kayla backfired when John was knocked out before he could save the group. Stefano took off with Marlena leaving John, Kayla, and Justin locked up in the storage unit...with gas being pumped into the room. Xander grew worried when he realized that the doctor they paid off during the baby switch was back in town and wasn’t sure she could keep their secret anymore. Victor suggested that she would have to be taken care of. Nicole overheard them talking about a secret and became suspicious. Roman fired and kicked out Kate for her transgressions.

Maggie called out Victor for “playing God” with her life. Shawn was able to get a court order for Gina to have an MRI in the hopes it would lead to a way to bring Hope back. After reading Stefano’s note and putting on the ring, Chad became brainwashed. Kate became concerned after hearing Chad say that he believed Steve was really Stefano. Gabi told Julie that she did regret hurting Eli and began to think of her as family before the blowup. Jennifer met with Gina for the first time since finding out the truth. She was shocked to see no trace of her cousin in the woman in front of her and snapped at her when she laughed about wanting to kill Abby. JJ called Lani to say that he wasn’t coming back to town and was staying with Theo. Eli and Lani’s reunion was ruined when they found out Gabi wouldn’t be paying for her crimes.

He told her that she wasn’t his enabler. She was his solution and helped her when she had a nightmare. Kevin and Chloe got Michael and Lauren as houseguests for the night, which was good for them when Chloe started having Braxton hicks contractions. Chance and Abby worked to keep things calm at the hotel when the weather caused some issues for the guests. Abby also aided Chance in his search for Phyllis’ copies of the audio file confession. Theo and Lola found themselves locked in at Society with Summer and Kyle of all people. The girls worked to keep the peace as the testosterone began to take over the place. Lola and Theo shared a couple more hot kisses as they talked about the upcoming first date.

Zoe tried to spend some time with Douglas to ease his mind about her marrying Thomas. After talking with Vinnie about his plan, Thomas decided to take things a step further by moving up the wedding as soon as possible. The move made Douglas freak out more and upset Hope. When she confronted Thomas about the issue he told her that once he was married that most of Douglas’ time would be spent with Zoe and not her. Ridge shared the news about the wedding with Brooke expecting her to be excited but once again she was skeptical.

Our Performer of the Week is Days of Our Lives’ Victoria Konefal
Ciara Alice Brady made her parents proud this week! She never gave up as she worked to prove Ben’s innocence before his execution. Victoria’s performance was fantastic and emotional as she portrayed Ciara’s desperation to save the man she loves. Bravo!
Our Honorable Mentions are:
General Hospital’s Genie Francis
To be honest, Genie Francis is so good she could read from the phonebook and we’d still give her a trophy. But this week Genie was a standout as Laura confronted Cyrus Renault in prison. She has faced tougher demons than him and she let him know that she was not one to play his games. She has us screaming ‘yes, Queen’ at our screens!
Days of Our Lives’ Melissa Reeves
Missy is in my humble opinion one of the most underrated actresses in daytime! When given great material she really shines. And seeing her interact onscreen with Kristian Alfonso always makes us smile. Jennifer got to meet with Gina for the first time after finding out the truth about her identity. She was shocked to see no trace of her cousin in the woman in front of her. And the way she reacted when Gina joked about being willing to kill Abby was perhaps my favorite scene of the week. Jennifer practically jumped across that table at her and I love every second of it!
