ICE Agent Reportedly Shoots DoorDash Driver Wilber Rafael Garcés Perez In Texas

An ICE agent shot a DoorDash delivery driver on Sunday as he worked, according to CBS News.

According to Garcés Perez’s lawyer, Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch, he was shot below his neck, in his back, per NewsNation. ICE agents were reportedly looking for the man because they had a deportation order. Wilber is reportedly legally married to a woman with legal status in the U.S., per NPR. The shooting occurred just before 1 p.m. at Anderson Square and Research Boulevard under an overpass.

In addition, his lawyer said that the 28-year-old called his wife right after the shooting to say he’d been shot.

“Even if he did have a final order of removal, he did not deserve to be shot in the back of the neck,” Lincoln-Goldfinch said, adding he “was shot below his neck in his back.”

Garcés Perez’s Attorney Says Wife Was Not Allowed To See Him

Lincoln-Goldfinch told NPR that she and Wilber’s wife were escorted off the property at the Dell Seton Medical Center in Austin while trying to find information about his health status.

“We were told that he was at this hospital, so we came back, and they have run us off the property,” she said. “We have been informed that if he’s in ICE custody, they will decline to confirm that he’s here. And no one has updated her about his status.”

Furthermore, she told NBC News that they were lied to and treated like trespassers.

“We not only were lied to and told that he wasn’t there, but we were thrown off the hospital grounds by several officers who treated us as trespassers,” Lincoln-Goldfinch added. “We are deeply concerned that his wife and family have not been permitted to see him and have not received a meaningful update regarding his current condition or whereabouts…. No one has told me or Wilber’s wife what the treatment was or how he’s doing, and I feel very confident he is in a lot of pain right now as we speak.”

Congressman Greg Casar (D-Texas) called for an independent investigation into the ICE shooting on X.

“The horror has come to our city,” he wrote on X. “ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law. Over and over, ICE has shot people and then lied about what happened. We can see the lies with our own eyes. We will demand truth, transparency and accountability.”

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson reportedly noted that the hospital administrator revealed that Wilber was released into ICE custody.

“A person being shot on the streets of Austin by someone purporting to be law enforcement, particularly when it’s ICE, is something that causes me to be unhappy and angry,” said Watson at a subsequent news conference, per NBC News. “While I’m unhappy and I’m angry about it, I’m not surprised at all.”

Department Of Homeland Security Calls Wilber An “Illegal Alien”

On Monday, September 21, the Department of Homeland Security shared a statement on X following the shooting. Additionally, the statement referred to Wilber as “an illegal alien.” Furthermore, the statement claims that Wilber is in federal custody and in “stable” condition.

“Homeland Security Investigations, with the assistance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is leading the investigation into the officer involved shooting of an illegal alien from Venezuela, who illegally entered our country under the Biden administration and had a final order of removal, during a law enforcement operation today in Austin, TX,” it states. “The illegal alien’s condition is stable, and he is in federal custody pending removal. This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information becomes available.”

According to CNN, two teenagers were recently beaten by ICE in Alamo, Texas. The boys were reportedly on their way to enlist in the Marines.

A Florida woman is accused of trying to kill her two autistic sons by overdosing them on medication.

Marilyn Elise Therrell also tried to die by suicide by taking medication during the September 8 incident, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said, WOFL-TV reported.

Therrell, 68, of Kissimmee, was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated abuse of an elderly or disabled adult on Friday, September 18, according to court records viewed by Us.

Deputies were called to a reported overdose at Therrell’s home on September 8, when they found Therrell, her 30-year-old son, and her 32-year-old son, Florida Today reported. All three family members were taken to a hospital for treatment.

Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, made sure to give nephews Prince William and Prince Harry a heads-up about his personal new book.

“I told them at the same time. … I can say that Harry is completely fine about it,” Spencer, 62, told People in an interview published Monday, September 21. “He said, I hope there’s nothing embarrassing about him in it. I said, ‘There isn’t.’”

In his new memoir, Swan Song: Diana, My Sister, Spencer explores his tensions with former brother-in-law King Charles, his bond with Princess Diana and her struggles living in the public eye before her death.

Spencer believes some family members were concerned about “where I was going up to with the book.”

Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, is publicly addressing former brother-in-law King Charles III’s rare response to his book accusations. “Well, it’s not every day you’re gaslit by a king, but I was really upset with that because I thought it was very, not only condescending, but not straight,” Spencer, 62, told ABC News’ Maggie Rulli […]

“It pretty much ends in 1997 with Diana’s death, and there’s a tiny postscript by the grave. So I think there was this, ‘Gosh, what’s he written about?’ And I think it’s natural that people so in the public eye are concerned how they will come across in the book,” Spencer shared. “But I could reassure both of them that they’re of course in the book, but really as examples of two little boys who had the most exceptional mother. I’m not in any way compromising their privacy at all.”

Spencer also admitted that he was concerned about how William, 44, and Harry, 42, would regard his portrayal of their father.

“Yeah, that was a concern,” he shared. “I mean, I don’t want this to sound loaded, but there was an awful lot I could have put in, and I didn’t. If I wanted to write a scandalous book about Prince Charles or King Charles as he is now, it would really be a jaw-dropper, but I’m not here to do that.”

Although Swan Song is expected to provide one of the most intimate, loving and honest portraits of Princess Diana, Spencer said he kept many of the details surrounding his book private.

In fact, Spencer’s own sisters Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes didn’t know about the project until later on.

Mike Flanagan is in the business of empathy. Film and television’s leading purveyor of terror understands that the best horror anchors itself in the personal. It’s a genre that projects collective fears onto metaphorical monsters, and the most lingering nightmares emerge from the horrors of being human in a world shaped by human cruelties. Whether it’s generational trauma or familial grief, Flanagan’s character-driven dramas use the fundamental shape of a classic ghost story to its maximum effect — they dazzle with atmospheric visuals and emotionally devastate.

Midnight Mass, his third collaboration with Netflix, might as well be considered a miracle. After several failed attempts to bring his long-term passion project to life, Flanagan settled for sneaking the title into his films as an inside joke about “the best project I’ll never make.” Midnight Mass was always as personal as a profusely bleeding wound; the writer-director shaped the concept around his small-town Catholic upbringing and his experiences with alcoholism and sobriety. In 2021, the seven-episode miniseries felt like the pinnacle toward which Flanagan’s sublime craft had been escalating. Five years later, it remains his magnum opus — a foreboding symphony of existential melancholy and exceptional beauty, equally impressive for its sheer scale and its intimate interrogation of institutionalized religion and human fragility.

What Is ‘Midnight Mass’ About?

Ever since an oil spill ruined their local economy, Crockett Island has become a living ghost town. Instead of offering quiet comforts, the isolated fishing village feels abandoned by time and ruled by uncertainty. It’s also the only place Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford) can try to rebuild his shattered life. Four years after his inebriated driving caused a woman’s death, he returns to his childhood home like a literal prodigal son; he’s not the only lost soul who’s haunted by regret and grief, but being an atheist in the devoutly Catholic town complicates his already unsettled homecoming.

Riley isn’t the only semi-newcomer who defies Crockett Island’s expectations. Father Paul Hill (Hamish Linklater) replaces the parish’s ill Monsignor and revives the community with his disarmingly approachable charisma — especially once he starts conducting what they interpret as Biblical miracles. As the priest feeds their hunger for hope, his unexpected presence incites far more moral damnation than it does eternal salvation.

‘Midnight Mass’ Is Mike Flanagan at His Most Visceral and Intimate

Midnight Mass is the most coherently realized and profoundly wrenching of Flanagan’s endeavors, largely because it thrums with his personalized hallmarks. His team crafts a pure Gothic folk horror fraught with religious menace, something both graceful and dreadful at once. Whether cinematographer Michael Fimognari salts the earth with cinematically gruesome set pieces or sets momentous montages to Neil Diamond songs, the technical sophistication is marvelous to behold. Production designer Steve Arnold creates an entire island from scratch, one that fits the required moody aesthetics, yet in its recognizably worn-down details, pulses with nostalgic life.

The acting troupe Flanagan assembles is also nothing short of exceptional, from Gilford’s arrestingly vulnerable anguish, Erin Greene (Kate Siegel) emerging as the emotional centerpiece, and the mesmerizing Sheriff Hasan (Rahul Kohli), a widowed single father and practicing Muslim with the wisest words about theological practices. All jokes about Hot Priests aside, Linklater’s subtle work is the series’ biggest revelation. Paul’s determined conviction, desperate rationalizations, and soothing gentleness reels in characters and viewers alike until we’re clinging to his every hypnotic word.

It wouldn’t be a Mike Flanagan project without his curiosity about the human condition, either. His thematic preoccupations have never been as relevant or harmonious; ornate Catholic rituals, vampire iconography, addiction and recovery, shame, redemption, corruption, and personal accountability parallel with ease. This series’ true meat and potatoes lie in the characters’ one-on-one conversations about the unanswerable mysteries with which we all grapple. There are few sinner-saint caricatures during these poetic interludes — only Flanagan’s intricate character work as he forces his wonderfully foible ensemble to reckon with the agony of living.

And in an existence without clarity, religion can provide solace. A communal environment rooted in the creeds of compassion and forgiveness — loving thy neighbor as thyself — can be a beautiful antidote to humanity’s worst impulses. When good intentions pave the road to hell, or self-righteous proselytizers weaponize texts into a justification for their bigotry, then it becomes an arena for destructive hatred. Flanagan recognizes, with bone-chilling intuition, how the church is just as capable of being hallowed ground and a source of harrowing trauma. For those who were raised sitting in pews in front of pulpits, who have actively deconstructed evangelical fundamentalism and wrestled through our perspectives on faith, Flanagan’s masterpiece re-opens old scars. Midnight Mass‘ foundations are too painstakingly potent to dissolve into saccharine, but it does offer a bittersweet catharsis: if we’re all lost at sea, then tending to one another as the world ends is both the least and greatest thing we can do.

New details have emerged about the medical emergency that left Carrot Top hospitalized and forced the cancellation of several performances at his longtime Las Vegas residency. The comedian, whose real name is Scott Thompson, reportedly suffered a suspected overdose involving prescription medication before he was transported from his home to a hospital on Friday.

Emergency Crews Responded To Carrot Top’s Las Vegas Home

5

The Clark County Fire Department told TMZ that emergency crews responded to Thompson’s Las Vegas residence at approximately 4:20 p.m. on Friday. The emergency call reportedly described a 61-year-old man as “not alert.”

A City of Las Vegas ambulance and a private ambulance both responded to the residence. Thompson’s condition was not known at the scene, and he was ultimately transported to a hospital by the private ambulance.

The Suspected Overdose Has Not Been Officially Confirmed

5

Sources familiar with the investigation told TMZ that Thompson took prescription medication before suffering what authorities suspected was an overdose. No details have been publicly released about the medication reportedly involved, the amount taken, or whether toxicology testing confirmed an overdose. The reported cause therefore remains preliminary and has not been independently confirmed by Thompson’s representative or medical team.

Although TMZ previously characterized the incident as a suicide attempt, Thompson’s representative has not publicly confirmed the circumstances behind his hospitalization. His team has only confirmed that he remains under medical care and is improving.

5

Thompson’s representative provided an encouraging update Sunday, revealing that the longtime Las Vegas performer had regained consciousness. He “remains hospitalized and under close medical care. He is now awake, breathing on his own and continuing to improve, surrounded by his family and those closest to him,” the representative told TMZ.

His Friday, Saturday, and Monday night performances at the Luxor Hotel and Casino were canceled while he continued receiving treatment. It remains unclear when Thompson will be discharged or when he might be cleared to return to the stage.

Carrot Top Faced A Separate Legal Dispute Before His Hospitalization

5

News of Thompson’s medical emergency arrived amid a contentious legal dispute involving singer Brian Evans. As The Blast previously reported, Thompson’s legal team accused Evans of requesting $500,000 while indicating that sexually explicit material involving the comedian could be submitted to a public court docket.

The filing reportedly included an email in which Evans discussed placing the material on a USB drive and submitting it with a court motion. “Given the existing posture of the case and the coverage already in print, I expect the press will report the motion and will use its own imagination about what the USB is,” Evans wrote.

Evans maintained that he was describing the potential consequences of making material part of a public filing, not threatening Thompson. “That is a foreseeable fact about third-party reporting of a public docket. It is not a threat,” he wrote.

Evans also said he does “not control the public docket” and does “not control the press.”

Thompson’s attorneys said, “This is not settlement communication. On its face it is a malicious threat to expose Thompson to disgrace, and to expose a secret affecting him, with intent thereby to extort money under the guise of litigation conduct.”

After news broke, Evans spoke to the Daily Mail, claiming, “I never threatened, ever, to post any video anywhere in exchange for a settlement.”

Carrot Top’s Representative Points To Evans’ Litigation History

5

Thompson’s representative, Jami Schlicher, cited a separate federal court ruling involving Evans when responding to the allegations.

“A federal court recently declared Mr. Evans a ‘vexatious litigant’ and described his filings as ‘serial’ and ‘spurious,’” Schlicher said. “In dismissing one of his cases with prejudice, the court went even further, stating: ‘It appears this entire case is designed to harass Defendants.’ The court’s findings and Mr. Evans’s litigation record speak for themselves.”

Beyond the Gates spoilers kicking off September 21st where we will see Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) arrested for breaking and entering and Heather Armstrong (Ashley Jones) making truly terrifying threats.

Let’s dive into what is happening the two weeks September 21st through October 2nd where we’re going to see Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) in the hospital and Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis), Anita Dupree (Tamara Tunie), and Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) all outraged.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Dani Stuns Naomi

Monday, September 21st on Beyond the Gates. Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) confides in Izaiah Hawthorne (David Lami Friebe) that he is in his debt. And I wonder if this is about Izaiah getting Deanna McBride (Angela Fairley) to head back to college.

Randy really wants Deanna away from Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom). He is worried about Doug McBride’s (Jason Graham) daughter. Dani is hit with a stunning realization after Bill collapses and he’s on Dani’s couch. She’s shouting his name. Dani calls 911.

Bill is rushed to the hospital and Dani is frantic. And then something dawn on her about Bill’s health issues and Dani tells Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit), “I think I know why your father’s health has been deteriorating.” And Naomi asked Dani, “What is it?” and she tells Naomi not a what but a who. Andre is defending his marriage on Monday.

This may be about the ongoing Bill issues or it could be from Heather who is busy trying to get Andre in her bed and to cheat on Dani. Nicole Dupree Richardson (Daphnee Duplaix) joins Madison Montgomery (Kenjah McNeil) as they try to help Chelsea Hamilton (Rhonni Rose Mantilla). There is a lot going on.

BTG Spoilers: Chelsea Terrified

Chelsea was freaked out by Allison calling her from prison. Chelsea and Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad) are at odds professionally. And Chelsea wants to tread softly, but Kat wants to go big. Chelsea thinks generating too much publicity could draw attention to the Takahashi Sweat Shop rumors, but Kat thinks the real reason Chelsea wants to fly under the radar is because of Allison.

Nicole may work with Madison to help Chelsea. And of course, she’s navigating through this fear and trying to get back to work. Heather outmaneuvers Joey. Next week, Heather gets Joey’s attention in a bad way when he finds Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) and Heather chatting at Uptown. And Joey asks Vanessa and Heather, “What are we talking about?” And Heather says, “Doug McBride.” Also, a big secret is revealed to Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson). And I do suspect Andre may tell Ted the whole ugly truth about Heather.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Chelsea Shaken by Secrets

Tuesday, September 22nd on Beyond the Gates, Madison’s secrets shake up Chelsea. So, she’s going to find out something about her fiancée, Madison, and it is nothing that Chelsea was expecting to hear and takes her by surprise. Jacob goes to see Nicole to talk about his case. Jacob told Naomi last week, they’re not husband and wife.

They’re cop and lawyer while they’re working. So, looks like Jacob wants advice on either the case itself or on keeping his marriage safe while they are at odds. So Dani wants proof and she is on a mission. She sneaks into Bill and Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings)’s house looking for evidence. Dani moves a painting aside and opens the safe and says, “Let’s see what we’ve got.”

She may be looking for an insurance policy, a prenuptual agreement, or, you know, some arsenic. Bill takes Caroline into his confidence. And this may be about Bill’s fear that he’s dying. Or he may tell Caroline about Hayley’s lies and chicanery. Speaking of, Naomi makes an unexpected proposal to Hayley. I bet money. She’s trying to set up Hayley to get the goods on her to prove she is to blame for Bill’s health problems.

BTG Spoilers: Smitty Going Down?

Wednesday, September 23rd on Beyond the Gates. Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi worry it could be too late to save someone they love. So, we’ll see if the evidence against Michael “Smitty” Smith (Mike Manning) in Lia Whitmore (Cecelia Specht)’s death is so convincing that Jacob may have to arrest Smitty. Also, Vanessa unintentionally distresses Andre with news about Heather.

So, I wonder if Vanessa tells Andre Heather just bought Uptown and that she is also house hunting. That could be what inspires Andre to meet with the only person in the DMV more dangerous than Heather. And we’ll see Joey having a back alley meeting with Andre. He shows Joey a phone and Andre tells Joey, “Whatever you decide to do with that phone, just make sure Dani stays out of it.” So clearly Andre’s desperate.

Dani’s not holding back. So it sounds like Hayley bust Dani rifling through their house and she may accuse Hayley of making Bill sick and then Hayley’s going to turn the table. So, I expect her to call the cops on Dani for breaking and entering and getting into their safe.

Chelsea confronts Bill, maybe about him not being honest about his health or about Hayley having Dani arrested. Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) discovers a smoking gun. So, I wonder if this is proof to support Hayley’s accusation that Dani broke into their place.

BTG Spoilers: Martin is Beside Himself

Thursday, September 24th on Beyond the Gates. Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) leans on Ted. Smitty’s case looks dire. So Martin may be looking for comfort from his dad, Ted, as he worries about his husband.

Dana “Leslie” Thomas (Trisha Mann-Grant) the bearer of bad news to Anita and Vernon. I’m sure she’s pleased to tell them about Dani’s arrest. Vernon and Anita confront Dani in front of Andre at her house. And Vernon asks, “Why were you at a police station all night?”

And Anita ask, “And why did we have to hear about it from Leslie?” Andre cannot believe what he hears. The fact that Dani was hauled out of Bill’s house after just reassuring him Andre’s her priority is a lot. Bill gets a bitter pill to swallow from Jacob and Hayley enlists Tomas’s help.

Beyond the Gates Spoilers: Leslie Stunned & Andre Rattled

Then Friday, September 25th on Beyond the Gates, a pair of exes have a very candid talk and it might be Ted and Leslie because Ted asked Leslie, “Don’t you want something real?” And then Leslie asked Ted if he thinks she’s capable of being a good woman. I don’t think so. Leslie puts her money where her mouth is that same day.

And also Andre is rattled by an impatient Heather. She may threaten Andre if she doesn’t get what she wants. Naomi’s news shocks Chelsea. So Naomi may tell Chelsea what Dani suspects about Hayley or that their mom Dani was arrested. Hayley gives an ominous warning, maybe to Bill, maybe to Dani, or maybe to Randy that people are on to her. Plus, Kat is fed up with Tomas, and Isaiah’s plans for Eva Thomas (Ambyr Michelle) are interrupted.

BTG Spoilers: Couple Swap Ahead?

So, I still feel like there is a couple swap coming. September 28th through October 2nd on Beyond the Gates. Bill may assume Dani is into him after her concern when he collapsed and the fact that she broke into his and Hayley’s home. I do expect Bill to force Hayley to drop the charges against Dani. Andre has a rough go of it and it’s just a lot.

Heather’s obsession, Dani’s apparent obsession with Bill. Dani and Bill’s daughters, Chelsea and Naomi, will likely join their mom’s quest to out Hayley as an attempted murderer. I also expect Vernon and Anita’s concerns will grow about Dani’s recent rash actions with the break-in at Bill and her winding up in handcuffs. Heather loses patience with the Smitty situation and also the repeated rejections from Andre.

Unless Joey deals with Heather, she may do something really bad soon. Leslie is probably going to be difficult with the upcoming Articulettes project. And Eva may lose patience with Isaiah over his friendship with Kat, which she feels is crossing lines, and Tomas and Eva may share their concerns with each other.

Smitty is going to try and figure out what to do about the Impaler, aka Heather, targeting him with this murder setup, and Smitty is going to be even more desperate to out their identity and shut them down.

The A with the halo charm represents her brand and logo, while the 5 represents her number on the Atlanta Dream team. The WNBA logo features her record and date and the other A is for Atlanta.

“Thank you, Mommy! This was so thoughtful. I love it,” Angel Reese added to the video post.

Roomies Cheer On The Mother-Daughter Love

In The Shade Room’s comment section, the roommates appeared to be enjoying the bond between Angel Reese and her mom. Plenty of fans applauded the pricey gift while some jokingly gave their own moms the side-eye. A few others clocked anyone drinking hater-ade behind the gift!

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Brady and Xander Team Up

Monday, September 21st on Days of Our Lives. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) are going to team up trying to protect Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) from EJ DiMera‘s wrath. Sarah is under serious scrutiny and legal troubles could be on the way. Sounds like EJ’s revenge over the anonymous report she made to the FDA about DiMera Pharmaceuticals. Philip’s big roulette win came too late. He asked Xander to hold off on the house sale.

But Philip walks into an empty mansion and he finds out it is already sold. Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) is leaning on Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). And I wonder if he’s going to tell her about almost kissing Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) or this may be all about DiMera. Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) catches his baby mama Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) trying to evade more medical testing. Joy is looking up nerve conduction study. That’s the test that should expose her fakery. And if Joy refuses the test, that is a huge red flag.

Tuesday, September 22nd on Days of Our Lives. Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) faces off with Mason Whitfield (Brandon Butler). And Holly directly asks does he think she’s to blame for Sophia’s death and Mason tells Holly she played a big part in it. Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) stands behind Sarah as she faces a professional complaint. And Maggie is very disapproving of Philip and Xander and she may be upset that Philip gambled given that he is a former gambling addict.

And Maggie may be a little annoyed that Philip actually succeeded, but Xander signed the papers without checking with Philip first. The Kiriakis family is in ashes, but maybe Xander and Philip can use that cash infusion to rebuild Titan or start a new company and rebuild a new legacy from scratch. Steve and Brady move forward with their investigation into EJ and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and the contaminated drug. Brady and Steve also keep looking into Dominic Marino.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Johnny Faces Jail Time?

Wednesday, September 23rd on Days of Our Lives. Theo needs some advice from his dad, Abe Carver (James Reynolds), and it could be about doing the right thing. He knows there are legal things going on with DiMera Pharma, or it could be about Stephanie. Johnny faces off with his dad, EJ, and things are intense. Johnny is sick and tired of cleaning up EJ’s cover up. Plus, Johnny may face jail time if they are caught. So, we’ll see if Johnny warns EJ because he thinks George will probably sell them down the river to stay out of prison.

EJ may order Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) to get rid of George, but remember, she defied EJ with another operative and put him in a cryopod instead of killing him as EJ said. So, Rita may be working with Dominic to bring down EJ and Johnny and clear a path for Stefano’s new son.

Sydney DiMera (Sidney Malakeh) spends time listening to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and Belle’s concerns and they may remind Sydney about how dangerous EJ can be and tells Sydney that he is into some shady stuff. Maggie confides in Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) about her concerns. I’m sure it’s about the Kiriakis family circling the drain. Fall spoilers say the family rebuilds from the ashes.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Leo’s Loves Story Sparks

Thursday, September 24th on Days of Our Lives, we are going to see Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and his love interests sparking and Sydney convinces her big brother Johnny not to back down. Also, Sydney asked Johnny if she should stick around Salem for a while, and Johnny tells his little sister Sydney, “I would not do that if I were you.” So, Johnny may not want Sydney dragged into any of EJ’s garbage that he’s been dragged into.

Of course, Sydney may do anything to help her family. She’s got that law degree. Maybe she can save EJ and Johnny from going to jail. Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) listens to Belle’s worries. She may have noticed Marlena had a very strong reaction to the photo of Dominic as a child, even though Marlena said she didn’t remember anything. EJ is questioning Chloe Lane‘s (Nadia Bjorlin) loyalty and where it lies, and she starts ranting at EJ. You know damn well what’s going on and so do I.

I do wonder if Chloe and EJ end up in bed together after this intense conversation. Chloe needs to prove her loyalty and she was directly ordered not to sleep with him and she’s a rule breaker. Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) also defies Lani Price (Sal Stowers) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens)’s wishes.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Kate Takes her Place

Then Friday, September 25th on Days of Our Lives, Chad officially welcomes Kate Roberts to the Salem Spectator. She’s already pitched a podcast to Leo and he’s very excited about the new challenge. So Kate may use her new role to shed light on EJ’s cover up, do an expose on that and maybe some of the troubles that the Kiriakis are going through.

I also wonder how Kate’s going to feel about Leo’s interest in the counterfeit handbag story since Kate is a possible suspect. Philip and Gabi are getting ready for a second chance. They have a tender moment in the square and Philip tells Gabi he couldn’t have done what he did in Monte Carlo without his lucky charm. Marlena has a nightmare that freaks her out. She’s been having these random memories of her time on Stefano’s island. So, I wonder if Marlena maybe recalls a memory of her with a baby bump or even a baby.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: The Drama with Dominic

Steve gets some unsettling news from Brady and Hope. It is about Dominic Marino. And then Steve shows up at Marlena’s apartment and says, “We were able to find Dominic Marino’s birth certificate.” Steve’s got a digital copy on his phone. He hands it to Marlena who reads it aloud. She says, “Stefano DiMera is the father of Dominic Marino and the mother is….” And then Marlena looks shocked.

Belle is going to be really shaken to find out she and her ex EJ share a brother, especially once Dominic comes to town. I’m interested to see if he will get closer to Belle or EJ or pits them against each other. Kayla and Sarah have a feeling there’s foul play involved and I wonder if they realize that EJ is behind the complaint against Sarah.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Marlena’s Flasbacks

September 28th through October 2nd on Days of Our Lives, Marlena may have more flashbacks about her time on Stefano’s island that relate to Dominic. Sydney decides to stick around Salem longer than originally planned. Dominic may be making a play to take over Titan after he’s gotten the Kiriakis mansion.

I think that he is working Stefano’s dark wishes and final agenda. Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) seems to be helping Dominic destroy EJ. And I wonder if Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) is another pawn in this game. Joy may find a way to fake it through the medical test and continue her paralysis fakery. I really hope she’s busted soon, though. Philip and Xander are working to rebuild Victor’s empire, and Chloe and EJ’s dynamic gets way more intense. He’s drawn to Chloe, but he doesn’t trust her, and she wants to bust EJ.

Still, Xander risks everything for Sarah. Soon, Johnny and Chanel’s happiness is further challenged by the DiMera drama. Paulina struggles being the second choice for Abe that he walked away from. Theo and Stephanie may cross lines and very soon Dominic Marino is going to come to Salem and shake things up. I expect him to move into the Kiriakis mansion. I do wonder if he is going to hang Stefano’s portrait over the fireplace where Victor’s was just hanging.
