DAYS SUPER SPOILER! Liam Selejko Is Philip Kiriakis’s Long Lost Son And The Truth Is Going to DESTROY Everyone!

PHILIP KIRIAKIS GAVE UP TYLER AND LIAM CAME HOME

TL;DR: Philip Kiriakis is suddenly bringing up the son he gave up for adoption twenty years ago on Days of Our Lives. Tyler is grown now. Tyler is in Salem. Tyler is Liam Selejko. And he is dating Arianna Horton, which means Gabi Hernandez is going to find out her daughter wants to sleep with the long lost Kiriakis heir Philip walked away from.

Let Us Set the Scene

Philip Kiriakis came back to Salem and slid into a deepening orbit around Gabi Hernandez. And then he started talking about a kid.

Not Gabi’s kid. Not a future kid. A kid he already has. A kid he has not told anyone about. A kid who, if Salem’s long tradition of long lost Kiriakis sons is any indication, is currently in this town making someone Philip cares about’s life infinitely more complicated.

We are calling it now. Philip has a son. The son is in Salem. The son is Liam Selejko. And Gabi is going to find out that the boy her daughter is pining after is a Kiriakis heir who got thrown away as a baby on Days of Our Lives.

Is Liam Selejko actually Philip Kiriakis’s long lost son Tyler, and is Gabi Hernandez going to find out her daughter is sleeping with a Kiriakis heir? Send your wildest theories to [email protected] and we just might publish them!

What Philip Actually Did to His First Son

Let us walk through Philip Kiriakis’s actual paternity history because the receipts are unhinged even by Salem standards.

Twenty years ago, Philip was married to Belle Black and the two of them tried to have a baby through in vitro. The egg got mixed up. Mimi Lockhart’s egg, fertilized with Philip’s sperm, ended up in a surrogate named Lauren. The surrogate had the baby. The surrogate abandoned the baby in Salem. Steve Johnson and Kayla Brady fostered the baby. The surrogate died. Mimi was the biological mother. Philip was the biological father. And Philip Kiriakis, faced with a child he absolutely did not plan for, decided he was not ready to be a dad and signed papers giving baby Tyler up for adoption.

He walked away from his own son. He never looked back. The kid disappeared into the system twenty years ago and has not been mentioned by name in Salem since.

Until this week.

Why Liam Selejko Is Tyler Kiriakis

Liam Selejko showed up in Salem with no family on canvas, no backstory anyone has bothered to interrogate, and a remarkably soft landing into the orbit of the Kiriakis family. He works in Salem. He is dating Arianna Horton. Sort of.

Using soapy math, Liam is about the right age. Tyler would be around twenty now. Liam is older, but again, soap opera math applies. Liam has no parents on canvas. Tyler was adopted out as a baby and presumably renamed by whichever family took him.

And Philip is suddenly talking about having a kid. Not casually. Not abstractly. Specifically enough that Gabi has noticed. The man who has not spoken his son’s name in twenty years is bringing him up on a Monday in May. That is not a coincidence. That is Philip getting close enough to the truth that the show has to start lighting the fuse.

The Part Where Gabi Detonates

Here is the diabolical part. Gabi Hernandez is already on the warpath about Liam Selejko being anywhere near her daughter. She is interrogating Ari this week. She is pressing for details. She does not trust him. And she does not know the half of it yet.

When the truth comes out and Liam is revealed as Philip Kiriakis’s long lost son, Gabi loses her mind. Because suddenly her daughter is not just dating some random guy from Salem. Her daughter is dating a Kiriakis.

That is not a Salem storyline. That is a Salem detonation device. And the show is winding the clock on it right now.

Is Liam Selejko Philip Kiriakis’s long lost son Tyler, and is Gabi Hernandez going to lose her mind when she finds out her daughter is in bed with a Kiriakis heir? Sound off below because this comment section is going to be a lot!
