Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers recap for Monday, December 23, reveals that Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) got more cryptic texts about her failed Nutcracker date, but the person texting wouldn’t confirm their identity.
Even so, Ava assumed it was Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and headed over to the townhouse, where Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) agreed Kristen must be to blame.
While Brady left to confront Kristen about sabotaging their date and harassing Ava, Belle Black (Martha Madison) warned Ava about how unstable and dangerous Kristen could be.
However, Ava wasn’t afraid of Kristen and made a prediction about now letting her derail things with Brady.
At the DiMera mansion on Monday’s Days episode, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) startled Kristen when she was buried in her phone.
Although EJ acted like Kristen was up to something, he shifted the conversation to Belle’s defense of Mark Greene (Jonah Robinson).
EJ pushed Kristen to end Belle’s consulting work with DiMera Enterprises, but he failed to sell her on how she’d benefit from Belle’s firing.
Once Brady arrived on Monday’s DOOL show, he accused Kristen of ruining his date with Ava and sending those cryptic texts.
Kristen claimed to have no idea what Brady was talking about – though she was pleased over the news the date didn’t go well.
After Brady headed out, EJ taunted Kristen over her pathetic texts, but she argued that she was too busy to be sending them.
Brady also reconvened with Ava and told her about Kristen denying she was behind all this. Ava wondered if maybe Kristen was telling the truth and got another text that warned her to stay away from Brady.
At the Hernandez house, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) was frustrated since Shawn Brady’s (Brandon Beemer) lead on Hattie Adams (Deidre Hall) fell through.
It left Jada suspecting that Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) got there first and botched things.
Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) got updates on that situation and told Jada about her upcoming evening with JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss), which was set in motion by Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon).
JJ came to pick Gabi up, so he met Jada and received an offer to rejoin the police force while Gabi was getting her purse.
Over drinks at Small Bar, Gabi fished to find out how long JJ would be sticking around Salem.
JJ mentioned Jada’s job offer, but he was hesitant to accept it due to his history and the time he accidentally shot Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson).
Next on Monday’s Days episode, Rafe delivered Hattie to Leo Stark’s (Greg Rikaart) hotel room, which led to some confusion since she was under the impression that she was getting a new contract.
Hattie had a long list of demands now that she believed she was coming back on Body & Soul, but she eventually realized Rafe lied to get her there.
Leo accused Hattie of being the Lady Whistleblower imposter, but she denied having enough computer knowledge to hack him. As for the written stuff spoiling the show, Hattie argued that she did her writing by hand.
Rafe put Hattie under a citizen’s arrest over the tainted cupcakes, but Hattie was floored over yet another accusation and insisted she was innocent.
While Rafe dragged Hattie down to the police station, Leo got an alert on his phone about another Lady Whistleblower column. In that column, the writer confirmed that they were NOT Hattie Adams.
At the Salem PD, Jada bickered with Rafe about him interfering in her Hattie investigation. Rafe acted like he just brought Jada an early Christmas gift and handed Hattie over.
Belle arrived to represent Hattie and made sure she clammed up with the cops. That frustrated Jada since Shawn might’ve gotten answers if Hattie hadn’t been tipped off.
Jada ultimately told Rafe that his Christmas present “sucked” before storming out on him.
Back at the DiMera mansion on Monday’s Days episode, EJ answered the door and wasn’t happy about the person standing there. It left EJ looking disgusted as he asked “what the hell” this mystery visitor wanted.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say EJ’s about to get tangled up in a crisis, so stay tuned!
