Days of Our Lives Update: Hostage Twist as Stefan Exits Salem, Explosive Javi and Gabi Reunion, and Xander and Philip’s Brutal Showdown!

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers update for Monday, October 28, indicates that Gabi Hernandez DiMera’s (Cherie Jimenez) unexpected visitor will be revealed. Gabi was hoping to find Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) at the door, but it turns out it’ll be Javi (Al Calderon) instead.

Javi is Gabi and Rafe Hernandez’s (Galen Gering) cousin – and since his mom just passed away, he’ll be eager to reconnect with his relatives and start fresh in Salem.

While Gabi welcomes Javi with open arms, Stefan will find himself stuck in a terrible predicament. Days spoilers say Ivan Marais (Ivan G’Vera) will take off his mask since he was the mystery man who made sure Stefan was unconscious at Vivian Alamain’s (Louise Sorel) request.

Once Vivian shares the rest of her plans, Ivan will restrain Stefan with some ropes and place him inside the trunk of a car.

Stefan will regain consciousness long enough to panic, but Ivan will slam the trunk closed and drive him to Vivian’s chosen location.

Days spoilers say Vivian will stand in the way of Stefan’s reunion with Gabi and force him off canvas, so Monday’s DOOL episode will be Brandon Barash’s final airdate.

There’s a good chance some forgery will be involved when it comes to those divorce papers.

Vivian may square things away regarding the end of Stefan’s marriage and convince everyone that he left Salem to lick his wounds.

At the Kiriakis mansion, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) will push each other’s buttons.

Since Philip’s filed injunction poses a stumbling block to Xander’s deal with Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), tempers will flare over Titan.

Xander will end up rushing toward Philip in a fit of rage, so he might get in a good swing or two before Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) holds him back.

Other Days spoilers say Sarah Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) will demand answers now that she knows Fiona Cook (Serena Scott Thomas) got off the hook.

Fiona will gloat about how EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) had to let her go since there wasn’t enough evidence to hold her.

Perhaps Fiona will insist Sarah must’ve heard incorrectly when it comes to her confession.

Since Fiona now claims she never confessed at all, she’ll make it clear that she’s not going down for the hit-and-run accident.

While Sarah puts Fiona on full blast, Kristen will catch up with Brady and hope they can do some bonding.

Although Kristen would love to have Brady back in her bed, she’d settle for friendship in the meantime.

However, Kristen is withholding the second serum vial necessary to cure Sarah, so that news won’t please Brady.

Brady will inevitably push Kristen to just do the right thing, but she may refuse and hope Philip won’t block her Titan deal for long.

Days of Our Lives spoilers point to Kristen making some strategy updates and stirring up more trouble, so we’ll bring you predictions on all the chaos.
