Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Romance Buzz Erupts for Gabi Hernandez and Philip Kiriakis in November

GABI HERNANDEZ NEVER LEFT PHILIP’S SIDE, AND ROMANCE MAY BE HER REWARD

TL;DR: One early look at Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of November 2 says Gabi Hernandez and Philip Kiriakis enjoy some romance. It gives no day, and its reason is the bedside scene that aired October 27.

The Romance Spoiler Points Straight Back to Xander’s Bedside

Are things heating up for Gabi and Philip on Days of Our Lives? One early look at the Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of November 2 says yes: Philip Kiriakis and Gabi Hernandez “enjoy some romance.” It names no day and offers no details. What it does give is a reason. Philip, it says, was very touched by Gabi’s support at the hospital when he was so worried about Xander Kiriakis.

That hospital scene already aired, and it had nothing to do with a card table. On October 27, Maggie Kiriakis called Gabi to the bedside of the brother who took a bullet meant for Sarah Horton. Back at the mansion that night, Gabi told Philip that Xander would pull through and that she was not going anywhere. Philip broke down and said he loves his brother and cannot live without him.

Then on Thursday, Xander woke up. The brother is back, the woman who held Philip together is still standing there, and if I know these writers, gratitude is about to turn into something warmer.

How the Gambling Worry Really Came Up

Our daily recaps tell a quieter story than the gambling chatter that swirled before that Tuesday. Gambling came up once at the hospital, and not from Philip. Maggie thanked Gabi for helping save Titan and said she was so happy the two were back together. Gabi promised to keep an eye on Philip and his history with gambling.

That vow has a track record. Gabi bankrolled his Monte Carlo gamble this summer, then spent the fall guarding him from the habit she paid for. On October 6, Philip kissed her and deleted a high stakes poker invitation. On October 14, he turned down Gwen Rizczech and her strip poker because his girlfriend would not approve. The last bet we saw him place was the roulette spin on 18 back on September 15.

Before that Tuesday, the previews had everyone guessing, as we laid out in our look at Gabi comforting Philip. The scene settled it. This was about Xander, and nobody on screen has said Philip is gambling again.

Are Gabi and Philip Getting Romantic on Days of Our Lives?

Only one early spoiler says so, and it is thin. It does not say whether “romance” means a kiss, a date or a night together, and no official grid for the week of November 2 is out yet. Its reason is the October 27 scene, which suggests the writer may be reading ahead from what already aired. The wider soap rumor mill has not picked it up.

Here is what that early look skipped. These two are not starting over. They have been back together since September 25, when the fake Monte Carlo engagement ended and Maggie’s ring went back to her. A romance next week would not be a reunion. It would be the payoff for a couple that nearly lost everything and stuck it out anyway, and Gabi Hernandez has earned the candlelight.

The Joy Problem Waiting at the Mansion

Philip has another storyline, and it lives under his roof. On October 21, muscle relaxants tumbled out of a package for Joy Wesley. Joy said she pulled a muscle. Philip wondered why she had asked her father for a prescription, then told Stephanie Johnson in the square that it was weird Joy will not tell her parents about her paralysis.

One spoiler column guesses Philip might mention those relaxants to Stephanie again the week of November 2. She already asked Kayla about a stealth reflex test on October 28. If Philip opens his mouth, the Kiriakis mansion turns into a war zone around Alex Kiriakis, and Philip’s date night could get interrupted fast.

Mason Stays a Separate Mystery

Some fans want Gabi pulled into the question of whether Mason Whitfield is Philip’s long lost son Tyler. Gabi knows Philip has a son out there, because he told her about Tyler on May 5. Nothing on screen or in any spoiler ties her to Mason. That puzzle can wait. Next week, by the only account out there, belongs to Gabi Hernandez and Philip.

Kiss, date or full blown passion? Tell us how you see their week going in the comments.

Gabi Has Earned Her Moment With Philip

Our take: Gabi Hernandez showed up when it counted, and Philip noticed. A thank you kiss is the least he owes her after she sat through the worst week of his year.

Our worry: Philip’s happiest stretches are when he gets careless, and Joy’s secret could blow up in his face. Team Romance or Team Trouble? Pick yours on our Facebook page.
