Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) is back in action in Salem. As viewers are aware, Ava has business dealings with Philip Kiriakis (Jay Kenneth Johnson), but she’s got someone else on her mind, too – Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols).
Ava even went to Steve and Kayla Brady’s (Mary Beth Evans) apartment and nearly made herself known to Steve, but she chickened out at the last minute.
And then, Ava nearly made her presence known to Tripp Dalton (Lucas Adams) as he was sitting on a park bench near town square.
But Tripp ended up walking off and not seeing Ava, which is probably a good thing for Ava, since she’d be wanted by the cops if they knew that she was actually alive. Ava’s best bet is to stay hidden and out of sight, so that she can stay a free woman.
But the longer Ava sticks around Salem, the more likely she will be to learn about Allie Horton’s (Lindsay Arnold) rape allegation against Tripp, and Ava’s probably not going to take that information well.
In fact, Ava will probably be outraged by the allegation and will want to do something about it, possibly even come out of hiding and defend her son.
But since this is Ava that we’re talking about, something tells us that she’ll probably realize pretty quickly that there’s a big opportunity here that she can capitalize on. If Ava does enough lurking and listening, she’ll figure out that Steve and Kayla are totally at odds when it comes to Allie’s allegation against Tripp.
As Days of Our Lives viewers know, Steve is 100% behind Tripp and doesn’t believe that Tripp assaulted Allie, but Kayla’s insisting that the DNA tests don’t lie, and that Tripp must be Allie’s attacker. Steve and Kayla are not at all getting along with each other right now, and Ava should see the opportunity in this.
If Ava makes her presence known, then she could throw her support behind Tripp and stand with Steve. Ava might hope that this will bring her closer to Steve in the long run, and that it will drive an even bigger wedge between Kayla and Steve.
For Ava, throwing herself into the mix would surely put Steve and Kayla at odds, and it would mean that Ava might get a relationship with her son out of the deal.
We’ll see what happens here, but if Ava plays her cards right, she could scheme her way back into some semblance of a relationship with Steve. It might be a tough go at first, but if Ava gives Tripp a little more support, that might soften Steve a bit to her.
Do you think that Ava will come out of hiding to support Tripp and get between Steve and Kayla? Stay tuned to Days of Our Lives and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Days of Our Lives spoilers, news, and daily episode recaps.
