Days of Our Lives Week of December 23: Rafe Captures Hattie, EJ Wants Belle Fired, Lani & Eli Throw Birthday Party

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for the week of December 23-27 reveal that Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) will fill Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) in on an alarming threat – one that’ll no doubt come from vengeful Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk).

Speaking of Kristen, she’ll face EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) pressure to fire Belle Black (Martha Madison).

Of course, Kristen rarely lets anyone tell her what to do – especially not her inferior brother!

Over with Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans), Days spoilers say she’ll grow increasingly concerned about Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein).

Our DOOL predictions suggest that’ll involve matters of the heart since Stephanie is dealing with some complicated feelings for Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and is now getting closer to Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) again as well.

Next, Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) will have some tough questions for Doug Williams III (Peyton Meyer).

Although Julie won’t want to believe Doug is behind the necklace theft, Jennifer Horton Deveraux (Melissa Reeves) will apparently convince her it’s a possibility.

Days spoilers say Julie will put Doug through a grilling session, but he’ll presumably play innocent and try to convince her he’s a good guy at heart.

Once Lani Grant (Sal Stowers) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) make it home for Christmas, they’ll also have a birthday celebration for the twins.

Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) will be delighted to join in the fun, so stay tuned for updates on more party-related news.

As for Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering), they’ll also select a wedding date as they look forward to officially tying the knot.

Back with EJ, he’ll deal with an old acquaintance who comes back in the picture.

EJ will also have to contend with an unwelcome houseguest, so we’ll see more mayhem playing out at the DiMera mansion.

Other Days spoilers say Rafe will come through for Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) by finding Hattie Adams (Deidre Hall).

It looks like Rafe will take captured Hattie to Leo’s door and let him interrogate her about the Lady Whistleblower imposter.

However, Hattie may swear that she had nothing to do with this impersonator’s column or the leaked storylines.

There’s a good chance Hattie is innocent when it comes to the tainted cupcakes too, so Rafe and the Salem PD have seemingly been barking up the wrong tree!

As for Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), she’ll open up to Brady about her love for John Black (Drake Hogestyn) and just how much she misses him.

John’s secret mission will eventually leave Marlena with questions about where he is, so stay tuned to see when she’ll realize he’s vanished.

Across town, Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) will enjoy some intimate scenes together, but things will take a wrong turn later.

Holly will end up ruining Tate and Sophia Choi’s (Madelyn Kientz) plan, so this could lead to Sophia’s pregnancy drama going public.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say the week of December 23-27 will bring some shockers and shakeups, so stay tuned.
