Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for Friday, May 8, tease that Lani Price (Sal Stowers) will have some explaining to do. Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) caught Lani helping Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) flee on the Salem PD security footage. Naturally, Eli’s going to demand some answers. He’ll wonder what Lani was thinking and why she would put her job on the line like this.
Lani and Eli only recently rejoined the force, so they can’t afford any major issues. Eli will feel like Lani’s putting him in a terrible position. He can either rat out the woman he loves or become part of her cover-up – and neither option will be very appealing to Eli.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Eli will unleash his fury, but Lani will feel like she did what she had to do. Kristen is Lani’s friend and a mother who deserves to be with her child. Lani couldn’t turn her back on Kristen, so she’ll stand by her actions.
DOOL spoilers say Lani will invite Eli to arrest her if he wants. She won’t regret helping Kristen, but Eli will still be upset about this tight spot. Speaking of tight spots, Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) just found himself in one when those goons showed up at the garage. Now Ben’s unconscious thanks to the baddies going after him with a crowbar.
Thankfully, Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) just arrived, so she’ll soon call 911 and urge Ben to wake up. Days spoilers say Ben will eventually regain consciousness and assure Ciara he’s all right. Ben was badly beaten, but he’s going to be fine. Ciara will tend to her injured boyfriend before Eli shows up to investigate.
Meanwhile, Jake Lambert (Brandon Barash) will respond to that kiss Gabi DiMera (Camila Banus) just planted. Days spoilers say Jake will reject Gabi’s advances and maintain that he’s not her dead husband.
When Jake asks if Gabi’s taking any prescription medication, Gabi may wonder why people keep asking that. Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) sarcastically asked Gabi the same thing earlier at the mansion.
However, Gabi isn’t losing it and doesn’t need meds. After kissing Jake, Gabi should be even more convinced that he’s actually Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash). She felt like this was a way to settle the matter – and we know Gabi will turn to Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (William Utay) for answers next week.
That suggests Gabi will feel the same spark she felt with Stefan in this lip lock with Jake. Jake should be glad when they’re interrupted by Eli.
Days spoilers say Jake will get grilled about the goons that attacked Ben, but he’ll insist he’s in the dark. Of course, Ben will know better since these guys were clearing looking for Jake and wanted “it.” Ben will ultimately question Jake without a cop around, so we’ll see if he can score any answers.
In Paris, Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) will face a surprise visitor she prepares to run away with Rachel DiMera Black. Nosy Jeanne Marie (Christine Kellogg Darin) will reappear, which is problematic since Sarah still has Rex Brady (Kyle Lowder) held captive in that apartment.
Nevertheless, Sarah won’t give up on the life she wants with her “daughter.” Jeanne Marie’s eyesight isn’t great, and she honestly seems pretty gullible. Sarah should be able to spin this, but a bigger Kristen curveball’s coming in the week ahead.
Back in Salem, Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston) will get some infuriating news. Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) spilled the baby swap beans to Maggie Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers), so he’ll give Victor the heads-up on that. You can bet Victor will be livid, but there’s no putting the cat back in the bag. Victor’s too weak to do anything to Xander anyway.
As other DOOL details emerge, we’ll offer all the latest updates. Days of Our Lives spoilers say some fantastic scenes are coming up, so stay tuned. Don’t forget to check back regularly for exciting Days of Our Lives spoilers, updates and news.
