Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for Thursday, May 20, tease that Abigail DiMera (Marci Miller) will decide she’s leaving Salem while Claire Brady (Isabel Durant) kisses Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson).
Meanwhile, Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) and Belle Brady (Martha Madison) will have a fake fight to trick Jan Spears (Heather Lindell), so let’s look at all the details of Thursday’s sizzling episode.
At the Horton house, Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) will really let Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) have it. Julie won’t be happy about Jack inviting Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) to move in, but Jack will defend his decision and most likely point out that Jennifer Deveraux (Cady McClain) was OK with it.
Even so, Julie will no doubt feel like Jack’s siding with Gwen over his other daughter. Abigail feels that way as well – and that’s part of why she’ll reach a major decision on Thursday’s DOOL episode.
Both Jack and Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) are basically blaming Abigail for Gwen’s miscarriage. They’re not listening to Abigail’s version of events or respecting her view at all.
As a result, Abigail will decide to leave Salem for a while and take a breather from all this Gwen drama. It sounds like Abigail will want to head to Boston and spend some time catching up with Jennifer.
Days spoilers say Abigail will deliver this departure news to Chad and Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus) on Thursday, so that’ll set up Abigail’s emotional farewell before the week wraps up, Friday, May 21.
Until then, Gwen will make some sort of confession to Jack. It doesn’t look like that’ll tie in with the timing of Gwen’s miscarriage or Abigail’s innocence, but she’ll indeed tell Jack the truth about something.
It could be as simple as confessing how much Jack’s support means to her, but we’ll see how it all plays out.
Gwen will also head to a follow-up appointment with Dr. Clay Snyder (Michael Lowry), which will lead to a big surprise. Dr. Snyder will end up blackmailing Gwen, so she’ll have to do whatever he wants or risk her secret being exposed.
Dr. Snyder could rat Gwen out for pretending the fall caused her baby loss and using it against Abigail.
That staircase tumble was an accident, but it doesn’t even matter since Gwen had already lost the baby before she fell. While Gwen reacts to Dr. Snyder’s shady move, Shawn will form a takedown plot. Shawn hopes he can trap Jan into confessing that she killed Charlie Dale (Mike Manning) and framed Belle for it.
Belle will get updates on Shawn’s scheme, which will apparently involve pretending he has feelings for Jan. Days of Our Lives spoilers say Shawn and Belle will have a fake confrontation in front of Jan in the town square.
Afterward, Shawn will kiss Jan passionately and invite her back to a hotel room as part of his scheme.
Unfortunately, Jan’s bound to spin out of control when things don’t go her way! Over with DA Melinda Trask (Tina Huang), she’ll make an appearance in Thursday’s Days episode.
Trask will corner Belle and perhaps promise prison is in her future, but Belle will count on putting Jan behind bars instead.
As for Ben, he’ll be horrified when Ciara Brady Weston (Victoria Konefal) sends him divorce papers. Ciara will still be in South Africa, so Ben will contemplate taking a trip there to talk her out of splitting up.
After Ben drowns his sorrows at the pub, he’ll confide in Claire and share his idea about flying to see Ciara in person. Claire will offer sympathy over the divorce bombshell, but she’ll push Ben to stay in Salem and avoid making matters worse.
Days spoilers say Claire will plant a kiss in the heat of the moment, but Ben will cut it off soon after. He’ll suggest he only wants Claire as a friend since Ciara’s still in his heart.
