EJ WAKES FROM COMA AS SALEM’S CHARITY AUCTION HEATS UP

The moment Days of Our Lives fans have been desperately waiting for is FINALLY happening! EJ DiMera is waking up from his coma this week, and you better believe there are going to be fireworks when he starts naming names! But that’s just the beginning of the drama about to explode across Salem!

THE ADOPTION BOMBSHELL THAT’S ROCKING JOHNNY’S WORLD

“I have the best news! We can adopt Sophia’s baby!” Chanel Dupree practically shouts as she rushes into Johnny DiMera’s arms. The excitement is written all over her face, but Johnny? He looks like someone just punched him in the gut!

And can you blame him? Sure, the adoption news should be cause for celebration, but sources tell me Johnny’s conflicted feelings might have something to do with Tate Black’s growing connection to Sophia. Talk about AWKWARD! The young DiMera clearly knows something that’s making him hesitate, and I’m betting that conversation with his mother Sami Brady has everything to do with it. When Sami’s involved, there’s ALWAYS more to the story!

GABI THROWS DOWN AT THE BACHELOR AUCTION

After JJ Deveraux had the NERVE to accuse Gabi Hernandez of attempted murder (the audacity!), their relationship crashed faster than a falling chandelier on a soap wedding day. But is Gabi sitting at home crying about it? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Instead, she’s strutting into the Brady Pub charity bachelor auction with revenge on her mind. When Alex Kiriakis takes the stage, Gabi doesn’t hesitate to make her move. “Ten thousand!” she shouts, making sure JJ hears every syllable. The look on JJ’s face? PRICELESS! Is she genuinely interested in Alex, or is this just the opening salvo in her campaign to make JJ jealous enough to come crawling back? Either way, I’m here for EVERY SECOND of this delicious drama!

JADA CALLS IT QUITS WITH RAFE

Let’s be real — when you’ve both cheated (her with Shawn Brady, him with Sami Brady), the relationship isn’t exactly built on solid ground. So it’s not shocking when Jada Hunter finally states the obvious: “I think it’s best that we end things.”

But here’s where it gets interesting… My sources hint that despite this breakup talk, these two might not be completely done. Word around Salem is that Rafe Hernandez isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet. Will he fight for their relationship or accept that some bridges are too burned to rebuild? The tension between these two is thick enough to cut with a scalpel!

SPARKS FLY BETWEEN CHAD AND CAT

The charity bachelor auction isn’t just stirring up drama — it’s igniting some serious chemistry too! Despite Cat pretending to be his deceased wife (a classic soap move if I’ve ever seen one), Chad DiMera can’t seem to fight the attraction brewing between them.

“We really pulled it off, didn’t we?” Cat grins as they celebrate their successfully organized fundraiser. When Chad smiles back with “We really did,” you can practically SEE the electricity crackling between them! But my sources tell me Chad’s about to have a major realization that he’s not ready to date again. The question is: will that stop whatever’s happening here, or just complicate it further?

XANDER’S SHIRTLESS MOMENT STEALS THE SHOW

What’s a bachelor auction without some eye candy? When Xander Kiriakis whips off his shirt due to a mysterious stain (courtesy of either Kristen DiMera or Rachel — the details are fuzzy), he gives the bidders exactly what they’re hoping for!

“You cold?” Sarah Horton teases, napkins at the ready. Xander glances around at the suddenly VERY attentive crowd and admits, “No. But everyone’s gonna wonder why I’ve got my shirt off.” Somehow, I don’t think anyone’s complaining about this impromptu preview before the bidding starts!

EJ’S AWAKENING COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING

While Salem’s elite are busy raising funds (and raising eyebrows), EJ DiMera lies in his hospital bed, hovering between life and death after being shot. His mother Susan Banks hasn’t left his side, praying fervently for her son to return to the land of the living.

And this week, those prayers are finally answered when EJ opens his eyes! But the REAL drama will come when he starts talking. Will he remember who pulled the trigger? Could this be the moment when the shooter’s identity is finally revealed? One thing’s for sure — whoever put EJ in that hospital bed better start packing their bags, because when a DiMera seeks revenge, NO ONE is safe!

Hold onto your seats, soap fans. This week on Days of Our Lives is going to be one wild ride!
