Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Wednesday, January 26, reveals that Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) made a double devil deal while “Ray” aka TR Coates (William Christian) shocked Paulina Price (Jackée Harry). Craig Wesley (Kevin Spirtas) also got busted on an incriminating phone call, so here’s how it all went down on Wednesday’s DOOL episode.
In bed together, Craig seemed distracted as he canoodled with Nancy Wesley (Patrika Darbo), who woke up and wondered how long he’d been awake.
Craig assured Nancy it was just a few minutes before she gushed over how sweet and loving he’d been last night.
Nancy was sorry for all her cheating suspicions and enjoyed being showered with compliments. She admitted she sometimes still needed to know Craig was attracted to her.
Craig argued that if Nancy wasn’t feeling that way, it was on him.
Craig did his best to reassure Nancy before they prepared for breakfast at the pub with Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). In a moment alone, Craig seemed pensive and concerned.
Meanwhile, Chloe was relieved to know her parents were back on track.
Brady and Chloe agreed not to mention Nancy’s meltdown when she first came to town, but Nancy brought it up herself over breakfast.
Nancy was sorry for causing such a fuss and basically suggested Chloe should never follow her example of accusing without solid evidence.
Craig eventually got a phone call and claimed it was about a patient, so he stepped outside to take it.
When the call took longer than expected, Nancy worried about Craig getting too cold without his coat.
Chloe decided she’d take the coat out to Craig and headed out the door – leaving Nancy to talk to Brady alone.
Nancy admitted that she previously would’ve been suspicious over Craig’s phone call, but now she trusted her husband since he showed her how much he loved her.
Over with Chloe, she came up behind Craig and looked upset over her discovery.
Chloe listened as Craig sweetly talked to “honey” over the phone and said he missed the person on the other end, too.
At Paulina’s apartment, she opened the door to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), who offered flowers and an apology for all the drama she caused while possessed.
Marlena was especially sorry for Paulina’s derailed wedding and how Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) was roped into the mess.
Paulina was a little standoffish at first, but she eventually accepted the flowers and acknowledged her own mistakes when it came to Abe Carver (James Reynolds).
Paulina also shocked Marlena by revealing that Johnny broke Chanel’s heart.
At the DiMera mansion, Johnny left Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus) a voicemail before someone showed up at the door.
Johnny was stunned to see that it was TR Coates, the movie producer who Johnny previously made a possession film deal with.
TR expected Johnny to deliver the movie he promised, but Johnny pointed out he told his grandmother he wouldn’t make it.
Johnny mentioned Marlena getting possessed again, so TR was excited over the built-in sequel and even thought they could come up with enough for a third flick.
Johnny stood behind TR with a fencing saber at one point and acknowledged how he no problem with the cutthroat film business.
Johnny decided not to attack TR and thought maybe he’d been to hasty in dropping his great idea.
TR suggested he didn’t mind being the bad guy in this scenario. He urged Johnny to just tell Marlena that TR would ruin him if he didn’t come through.
Johnny wondered if TR would really do that, but TR insisted that he needed Johnny and acted like they’d just make Marlena fear the worst.
After possessed Johnny shook TR’s hand, he said he felt like he just made a deal with the devil.
TR argued that he was actually a gentle soul unless someone crossed him.
Once TR was gone on Wednesday’s Days episode, Marlena showed up to scold Johnny about how he treated Chanel.
Johnny was apologetic about that and about having to break the promise he made to Marlena about the movie.
In the town square, Chanel ran into Abe and apologized for her role in blowing up his wedding.
Abe didn’t hold it against her and offered comfort when he heard about Chanel’s own marriage ending in a speedy divorce.
Afterward, it was Paulina’s turn to bump into Abe. There was a mixture of fondness and awkwardness as they discussed Abe comforting Chanel earlier.
Paulina also mentioned Johnny being a “phony little creep” and credited Lani Price-Grant (Sal Stowers) for saving her life following the chandelier incident.
Once Abe and Paulina wished each other a nice day, Abe walked off. Moments later, TR called out Paulina’s name and left her in shock.
“Ray?!” Paulina exclaimed – indicating that TR was actually the abusive former flame she once ran away from.
In bed on Wednesday’s Days episode, Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold) offered a gift to celebrate Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams) becoming a real doctor.
It was a caduceus pin, which was the symbol of modern medicine. Tripp admitted that in ancient times, the caduceus represented alchemy, thieves and liars.
That left Allie flashing back to her betrayal with Chanel, but she covered her anxiety with Tripp.
After Tripp put the pin on and ultimately headed out, he wound up at Paulina’s place to see Chanel.
Although Chanel seemed nervous about what Tripp wanted to discuss, he just wanted Chanel to know he was on Chanel’s side like Allie.
Tripp assured Chanel of his friendship and thought she deserved better than Johnny DiMera!
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Chanel and Allie’s secret will blow up down the road, so don’t miss what’s ahead on DOOL.
