Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for Friday, July 17, tease that Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) will track Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) down and ask if he’d do her a favor. Since Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) isn’t alive to walk his daughter down the aisle, Ciara will wonder if Rafe would be willing to do it. DOOL fans know Ciara’s always had a special bond with Rafe, so she’ll think he’d be the perfect person to fill in.
Although Rafe will be taken aback by Ciara’s request, he’ll assure her that he’d be honored. Bo asked Rafe to watch over Ciara and Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) before he died, so this is just one more way for Rafe to step up.
Friday will also bring a pre-wedding bash, which will basically be a low-key bachelorette party. Days of Our Lives spoilers say Ciara will head to Julie’s Place, where Claire Brady (Olivia Rose Keegan) will offer up some drinks.
Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold) will also be there to partake in a non-alcoholic one, so the girls will raise their glasses and toast to Ciara’s happiness.
At some point, Ciara and Claire will pinky-swear on something – perhaps to promise that they’ll never let anything screw up their renewed friendship. Of course, that’s a promise that won’t take long to break.
Days spoilers say Ciara will be feeling ill by the time Monday rolls around, so she’ll start wondering what exactly Claire put in that drink she served up!
Until then, let’s talk about Ben Weston’s (Robert Scott Wilson) tiny version of a bachelor party. Ben doesn’t have a ton of friends to round up – and that’s not really his style anyway. Instead, Ben will head to the pub, where he’ll drink a beer with Will Horton (Chandler Massey).
Days spoilers say Will and Ben will share some laughs, but the fun will come to a screeching halt when Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) appears. After cleaning up from her cake war, Sami will return to the pub and glare at the scene in front of her.
This mama bear won’t love the idea of Will being besties with the man who strangled him, so Ben will get pretty uncomfortable.
However, Sami actually recruited Ben to reenact the strangling back when Will had amnesia. This is a mom who was willing to let Will relive his “murder,” so that’s all kinds of messed up! That incident actually served as a bit of a breakthrough for Ben, who started moving toward a genuine recovery.
This is a messy situation all around, but Will will defend Ben and encourage Sami to at least be civil. Sami’s not great at that, but we’ll see if she’s willing to try.
The topic of Allie’s adoption plan should also come up, but it’s Rafe that Sami really needs to talk to. Sami would much rather see Will and Sonny Kiriakis (Freddie Smith) adopt this baby, so she’ll corner Rafe and order him to reject Allie’s offer.
Although Rafe will understand why Sami might disapprove, he may insist this isn’t her decision to make. This is between Allie and Rafe, so Sami will have to accept that.
Finally, a hungover Gwen (Emily O’Brien) will cross paths with Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus). Gabi’s still upset over the Jake Lambert (Brandon Barash) twin news, so she’ll fume even more than usual when she sees Gwen.
Gabi will undoubtedly lash out at Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) for bringing Gwen back to the DiMera mansion to sleep it off. Gwen will be eager to down more drinks, but Gabi may insist that’s not necessary. Perhaps Gabi will snap at Gwen to go find Jake and enjoy herself since he’s not Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash).
