Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Ava’s New Obsession, Trades Steve for Hero Rafe – Nicole Panics After Setting Romance in Motion?

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) really needs to move on from her obsession with Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols). Ava obviously has more pressing things on her mind at the moment, but she’ll get out of her current predicament at Charlie Dale’s (Mike Manning) place eventually.

At Nicole Brady’s (Arianne Zucker) urging, it looks like Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) will take Ava into protective custody until the storm has passed. Once Ava’s free, she’ll apparently be moving in with Rafe – and that could lead to a brand-new obsession.

After all, Rafe isn’t really that different from Steve when you think about it. Steve is the ultimate hero and is someone Days portrays as a man of strong morals. Although Steve’s made mistakes in the past, he has a good heart and at least tries to do the right thing.

Likewise, Rafe is a hero type of character who loves hard and always wants what’s best for the people he loves. It’s easy to imagine Ava falling for Rafe once she’s living with him. Ava needs to accept that Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) is the only woman for Steve.

Even if Steve were going to choose someone else, it certainly wouldn’t be Ava!

Rafe knows Ava’s history, so he may initially be resistant to any attraction that develops. Still, the heart wants what it wants. Rafe may see Ava’s softer side in the months ahead since Days of Our Lives spoilers confirm we’re indeed going to see it. Could Rafe be Ava’s chance to finally get over “Patch”?

Rafe is younger than Steve and has that boyish charm going on. He’s handsome and available, so he’s got a lot going for him. Why wouldn’t Ava fall hard for Rafe and potentially become fixated on the new man in her life?

Of course, it’d be nice if Ava could develop a healthy attraction, but DOOL fans know she tends to go overboard! On the bright side, Rafe may actually be attracted right back – and that could prove troubling to Nicole for more reasons than one.

Nicole may worry about Ava being such an intense wildcard. Not to mention that despite Nicole’s marriage to Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan), she seems to be attracted to Rafe herself! Nicole might freak if she realizes her plan to protect Ava has snowballed into a romance.
