A Dangerous Deal Threatens the Kiriakis Legacy

Would you believe the nerve of these two? Kate Roberts and Vivian Alamain – yes, you read that right – actually shake hands on a deal to split Philip’s future Kiriakis inheritance! But hold onto your seats, because this partnership goes south faster than a summer romance in Salem. Kate, apparently having second thoughts about dealing with the devil herself, tries to keep Philip far away from Vivian’s scheming clutches.

But here’s where things get really interesting, folks. Jada Hunter (our favorite detective) steps into this mess, confronting Vivian. And despite being in handcuffs (because when has that ever stopped Vivian?), the situation turns violent! Something tells me this isn’t going to end well for anyone involved…

Anniversary Celebrations Turn Dark

Just when we thought Salem could enjoy some happy moments with multiple anniversaries being celebrated (Julie and Doug, Kate and Roman, Marlena and John), drama comes knocking. John Black mysteriously vanishes – talk about terrible timing! Belle Black and Paul Narita return home specifically for her parents’ anniversary, only to find her father missing. Anyone else getting déjà vu about Salem’s history with disappearances?

Meanwhile, poor Doug Williams faces an unspecified crisis that has Julie dropping everything to care for him. After everything they’ve been through lately, including the Horton house fire, this beloved couple just can’t catch a break!

Brady’s World Spirals Out of Control

If you thought Brady Black was having a rough time before, just wait until you see what’s coming! While he manages to share some sweet Halloween moments with Kristen and Rachel (aww!), things quickly unravel. Not only does Brady “lose it,” but he’s also dealing with some complicated feelings as he and Ava grow closer. Anyone else seeing potential fireworks there?

And let’s not forget about his son Tate’s love life drama! Sophia’s practically walking on air about Tate, gushing to her boss Ava about him. But wait – Holly’s decided she wants him back! Talk about complicated, especially considering their recent history with Holly’s overdose scandal.

The Kiriakis Family Feud Turns Deadly

In what might be the most shocking twist, Philip Kiriakis takes sibling rivalry to a whole new level when he hands Xander a gun and dares him to use it! Between this and the Kate-Vivian deal, the Kiriakis fortune seems to be bringing out the worst in everyone.

Love, Lies, and New Beginnings

While all this drama unfolds, some Salemites are finding happiness – or at least trying to. Jada and Rafe discuss a family heirloom ring and make plans for their future. But with everything else going on in Salem, how long can any happiness last?

Sarah finally gets her serum (fingers crossed it works!), and Johnny’s working on his marriage with Chanel. Though that secret with Joy Wesley might throw a wrench in those plans…
