Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers update for Friday, December 31, teases that Jake DiMera (Brandon Barash) will make a surprise visit to Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) while the devil’s next trick brews. Sami Brady DiMera (Alison Sweeney) will also grant Lucas Horton’s (Bryan Dattilo) wish, so let’s talk about what’s ahead on DOOL.
Ben and Ciara Brady DiMera (Alison Sweeney) will cuddle in bed after all the possessed Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) mayhem, so they’ll finally have a chance to relax.
This will allow Ciara and Ben to look forward to their future family, but they’ll have to put any baby talk on hold.
Days spoilers say Jake will stop by Ben and Ciara’s place unexpectedly. This could tie in with Titan since Ciara works there, but it also looks like Jake will have a complaint.
Jake would’ve stepped up during all the devil drama if Ben and Ciara had just said the word. He may argue that he thought they were better friends and wonder what gives.
However, the storm has passed now – or so it seems! It’ll actually be the calm before another diabolical storm since the devil has more tricks up his sleeve, but let’s focus on Marlena Evans’ (Deidre Hall) freedom.
Once Marlena is discharged from the hospital, John Black (Drake Hogestyn) will want to take her back to the townhouse for a quiet New Year’s Eve celebration. That’ll sound wonderful to Marlena, but it looks like she’ll have a stop to make on the way home.
Marlena won’t be able to remember a ton about what happened, but she’ll know she pressured Ben to have a baby with Ciara.
That wasn’t something the real Marlena would normally do at all.
Marlena will be apologetic about that and for the deception that led to the chaos at the cabin.
Marlena nearly killed Ben with a necktie and then came after Ciara’s baby with flaming torches on Christmas Eve, so she’ll have a lot to say sorry for.
Of course, Marlena never would’ve done any of that in her right mind.
The devil was controlling her every move for a while, so Ben certainly won’t hold any of this against her. Ciara surely won’t either, though she may remain a tad standoffish for a while.
Once John finally makes it home with Marlena, they’ll settle in on the sofa and enjoy each other’s company.
It won’t be long until Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) show up to help ring in the new year, so Marlena will feel the need to apologize to them, too.
Over with Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold), she’ll realize there might’ve been some truth to Johnny DiMera’s (Carson Boatman) jealousy claims.
There’s a little part of Allie that has a hard time seeing Chanel DiMera (Raven Bowens) with someone else, especially her twin brother.
Nevertheless, Allie has fallen for Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams) and has built a nice life with him.
Allie will decide she wants to give Chanel and Johnny an opportunity to do the same. Allie just has to find a way to patch things up first!
Days spoilers say Allie and Tripp will start by getting all dressed up for New Year’s Eve. They’ll take a bottle of bubbly to the DiMera mansion, where Chanel and Johnny will be naked under the covers.
That’ll make for a rather uncomfortable encounter, but Tripp and Allie will wind up in the bedroom anyway.
After Allie apologizes for her recent outburst, she’ll ask for forgiveness and hope they can start fresh in the new year.
Chanel and Johnny will like the sound of that, so they’ll agree to put some clothes on and have a New Year’s Eve bash downstairs.
There’ll be a moment where Chanel seems pretty jealous watching Tripp and Allie kiss, but she’ll try to tell herself everything worked out.
Chanel will want to be content in her marriage to Johnny while Allie’s content in her relationship with Tripp.
The problem is no one’s going to stay happy in the new year!
This New Year’s Eve countdown will practically serve as the countdown to marriage destruction. It turns out early 2022 will bring Chanel and Johnny’s blissful honeymoon period to a screeching halt.
In the meantime, Sami will sob over EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) holding her captive for months.
Sami will fill Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus) in on that betrayal, but Gabi may point out that Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo) is ready and waiting to accept her love.
Lucas is the true snatcher, but he’ll have to hide that shocking truth when Sami comes to him looking for a reunion.
Sami will hope they can try again and will want a new beginning in another city – perhaps in Rome!
Lucas will get his wish when Sami chooses him, but he’ll struggle with guilt and the fear that his secret could come out.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Sami will indeed learn the real story down the road, so stick with DOOL.
