Young and the Restless 2-week spoilers for February 9 -20, 2026 hint Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) scores a huge win and Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) is suffering.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Nikki Annoys Victor

Let’s jump right into it. Monday, February 9th: Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) wants Victor Newman to give her an update on Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark), and she’s griping about Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) being kept away from Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) right now when he needs his sister.

Victor says that Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) wants proof that Lily and the twins are safe. And Nikki says she wants that, too. That really annoys Victor because he thinks Nikki doubts him. But Victor gets the photo and shows Nikki the picture, and then he forwards it to Cane.

Y&R Victoria Schemes to Take Down Phyllis and Help Victor

Meanwhile, Nick tells Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) that Detective Burrow (Matt Cohen) is working Dominic’s abduction case. Victoria doesn’t believe that Lily agreed to go along with Victor. Victoria Newman thinks she can prove Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) stole the AI. If she can get the proof to take to law enforcement, Victoria might be able to leverage Phyllis to flip on Cane to save herself. She thinks they need a backup plan.

Adam thinks that Victor offered Chancellor to Lily, but Victoria thinks he didn’t because that would ruin her parents’ marriage. Nick tends to agree with Victoria. But Adam tells them both Victor has been up late texting him, hasn’t been sleeping, and thinks that their dad would see giving up Chancellor as a small sacrifice if it saved the rest of the Newman Empire.

Victoria wants Nick to talk to Phyllis again and Nick admits to his siblings that he is still in a lot of pain. Victoria warns Nick to be careful with the medication. Then Victor texts them all saying come back to the ranch right now. He shows his three kids the photo and says Lily is safe and Cane is going to make a deal. Adam asks what Victor offered Lily, but Victor won’t answer. Another red flag; it might have been Chancellor.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Claire’s Investigation in Los Angeles and the Newman Ranch Showdown

Meanwhile, Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) goes with Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) to Los Angeles, but he quickly realizes that Claire came along primarily to dig up dirt on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver). Holden tells Claire, “Look, you’re wasting your time.” Claire is also annoyed that Holden is doing something for Cane in Los Angeles. He said he’s looking into Lily’s possible kidnapping, but Claire is absolutely adamant that Victor wouldn’t do that.

Behind Holden’s back, Claire calls the art gallery that was owned by the guy that Holden accidentally killed. He gets the photo that Cane wanted and sends it over. It shows Lily and the kids with a sketchy guy and they are looking scared. Phyllis is gloating up at Newman Enterprises about stealing everything from Victor on Young and Restless.

But she and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) are bickering about Cane giving Chancellor to Billy. Then Cane comes in and tells Billy he can’t sign the Chancellor contract yet. Phyllis and Billy keep sniping until Cane gets the photo of Lily and the twins from Holden. Billy takes off, but Phyllis stays and Cane tells her that Victor took Lily and the kids, but Phyllis says it is a bluff.

Victor wouldn’t hurt Neil Winters’ (Kristoff St John) family, but Cane doesn’t believe her. Phyllis keeps on saying he’s being played, but Cane leaves, runs over to the ranch, and tells Victor, “You won.” Cane wants proof that Victor has let the family go and then Cane will give Newman Enterprises back to Victor.

Y&R Spoilers: Phyllis & Billy Scheme for Chancellor as Mariah Flees Genoa City

Meanwhile, Phyllis runs over to Billy’s and says that Cane is caving in and giving everything back to Victor. So, Billy won’t get Chancellor unless he works with Phyllis and they act fast to grab it up, but they have to move now. Tuesday, February 10th: Victor Newman summons the whole family for a meeting. Some of this may be about Dominic. We’ll see. But I think most of it is going to be Victor saying his plan worked. He has defeated Cane. They’re going to be getting everything back.

Meanwhile, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) is blaming herself for Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) kidnapping Dominic. Obviously, Sharon thinks she didn’t check in on Mariah enough or visit her enough at the clinic in Boston. Elsewhere, and Billy are scheming against Cane because he has turned against them, caved into Victor’s bluff, and is signing assets back over. Billy wants Chancellor, and he and Phyllis may realize that it’s the only thing they can salvage when Cane starts giving Newman assets back.

Wednesday, February 11th: Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) and Devon get a lead on Dominic and we’re going to see them working with Detective Burrow to take down Mariah and get Dom back. Speaking of those two, at a restaurant wearing matching trucker hats. We’ll see Dominic asking Mariah why she won’t tell him where they’re going.

She says that she’s taking Dominic to the best hideout in the world. Mariah says they are going to a whole different country. Something happens with Dominic where Mariah feels like she has to switch things up. So, we’ll see if she pivots and is still planning to take him out of the country or if she does something else.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: Cane’s Medical Emergency and Nikki’s Desperate Plea to Jack

Thursday, February 12th: Victor uncovers shocking information about Cane. Victor’s in the bedroom of the Cane train as Adam walks in and is looking at Cane unconscious there. Adam asks Victor if he’s dead and he doesn’t answer straight away.

I wonder if Cane is so upset he got drunk and passed out. Maybe it’s alcohol poisoning. Billy and Phyllis get overheard by Victoria, and I’m sure it’s about Chancellor. Of course, Victoria is very insistent that Chancellor needs to come back to her mom.

Nikki goes to Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and she’s quite distraught. Nikki may tell him about the fake abduction of Lily and the kids, but bottom line, Nikki’s frantic and telling Jack that she’s worried what Victor will do next. She is worried that if he goes too far, Nikki won’t be able to take it anymore and will have to walk away.

Jack’s comforting Nikki and hugging her right as Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is walking in. She does not like what she sees, just like Victor didn’t like when he saw the same thing at his house.

Valentine’s Day Romance and a High-Stakes Private Jet Search on Y&R

Friday, February 13th: Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) goes all out for Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun). He’s not giving up. It looks like Noah may head to Los Angeles for Valentine’s Day. Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire Egan) gets a romantic gesture from Adam for Heart’s Day. Billy is also going all out to woo and impress Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) and prove himself, but him conspiring with Phyllis to get Chancellor may be a deal breaker, even though he won’t be conspiring with Cane anymore.

The week of February 16th through the 20th, we are going to be seeing Burrow, Devon, and Abby on a private jet soon, and they are trying to chase down Mariah and Dominic. The good news is she’s driving and they’re on a plane, so maybe they can cut her off at the pass. Sally is very conflicted about Billy. And Sally loves him, but she feels like Billy is letting her down. Sally also, though, doesn’t want to walk away while Billy’s mom is sick and possibly dying, so she is really struggling.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: The Return of Patty Williams and Nick Newman’s Dangerous Spiral

Phyllis remains determined that she is going to get one over on Victor. Even though Cane may give back Newman Enterprises, Billy and Phyllis may decide that Chancellor is enough of a consolation prize for them. Diane loses patience with Jack and Nikki, and Noah’s heart is on the line.

He wants Sienna back, but I don’t think she’s going to back down on breaking up with him. She may tell Noah that he needs to leave Los Angeles and not come back, so he may return to Genoa City heartbroken. Claire makes progress in her search for dirt on Audra.

And it looks like Claire may indeed find out that the gallery owner was missing and presumed dead. I wonder if Sienna will help out with sharing more info. Nick is really struggling with his pain and by the end of Sweeps, he may be dabbling in illegal drugs. Sharon is worried about Mariah and racked with guilt. Look for Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) who is likely going to pop up with one last hurrah by the end of Sweeps.

Stacy Haiduk is back soon as Crazy Patty Williams. Paul Williams’ (Doug Davidson) sister, if you remember, was in Fairview Psychiatric with Sharon. She also has a history with Ian Ward (Ray Wise); she saved his life. Patty’s back in March. And Lily is also set to return in March.

How Fans Reacted To Ricky Martin’s Youthful Appearance At The 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show

Ricky Martin Showed Support For Bad Bunny Ahead Of The Super Bowl Halftime Show

By Chris Snellgrove
| Published 3 seconds ago

Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure proved to be a breakout smash, appealing to sci-fi fans with its time-traveling plot and appealing to general audiences with its affable stoner comedy. The movie (the first big role for former John Wick icon Keanu Reeves) soon got a sequel, one that broke all the rules and subverted all of our expectations. You can now stream this underrated film for free on Tubi and discover for yourself why Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991) might secretly be the best sequel ever made.

The premise of Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey is that the titular duo are inexplicably responsible for creating a future utopia, but a bad guy who wants to stop the party sends robot duplicates to kill our heroes in the present day. These bad bots actually succeed, throwing Bill and Ted to their doom before these would-be rock stars can win a local Battle of the Bands. But these two meatheads won’t let a little thing like death keep them down, and once they run into a new frenemy in the afterlife, they realize that their bogus journey is just beginning.

Sci-Fi’s Slacker Dream Team Returns

Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey has a tight cast of excellent performers, including George Carlin (best known outside this franchise for Dogma) as a groovy mentor from the day after tomorrow. The Grim Reaper is played to hilarious perfection, by William Sadler (best known for Shawshank Redemption), while Alex Winter (best known Adulthood) plays one half of the titular time-trippers. The other is played by Keanu Reeves, who transformed the notoriety of this franchise into headlining roles in action masterpieces like The Matrix and John Wick.

Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey wasn’t so bogus for audiences: against a budget of $20 million, this film earned $38 million. This was less than the original movie, and Bogus Journey was considered a minor failure until it earned a cult following on home video and streaming. That cult following helped this movie get a sequel, and 2020 (the pandemic? Talk about a bogus journey!) saw the release of the long-awaited Bill and Ted Face the Music.

Declared DOA By The Critics

When Bill& Ted’s Bogus Journey came out, many reviewers decided this sequel was totally heinous. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 56 percent rating, with critics acknowledging that this follow-up film had the same sense of humor as the groundbreaking first film and the same cast giving the script everything they had. They just felt like this second trip to the well delivered diminished returns compared to their original romp through time and space.

However, the movie impressed certain reviewers more than others, including legendary film critic Roger Ebert. In his review, Ebert said that Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey is “the kind of movie where you start out snickering in spite of yourself, and end up actually admiring the originality that went into creating this hallucinatory slapstick.” This is a solid take, and the movie is filled with so many deliciously stupid punchlines that it’s easy to forget how smart the setup to these jokes really is.

A Sequel That Raises The Stakes

I’ll actually go one better than the late, great Ebert and say that Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey is secretly the best sequel ever made. It would have been insanely easy to just give us a lame retread of the first film, with our not-so-dynamic duo traveling to more time periods and teaming up with more historical figures. Instead, the sequel zigs wherever you expect it to zag, sending our boys to Heaven and Hell in sequences that further our understanding of these characters in unexpectedly complex ways.

It helps that Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey adds fun new characters, including both the evil robots and the Grim Reaper. William Sadler is always game for genre work, and he turns his Reaper into the best kind of comic figure: a man who takes himself way too seriously. Watching him get his butt kicked in board games is hilarious, and by the end of the movie, he proves himself to be the ultimate third wheel of Wild Stallyns, a band that might just save the world.

A Hauntingly Good Sequel

Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey will appeal to sci-fi fans looking for something more lighthearted to watch, but it also has undeniable mass appeal thanks to its witty writing, rapid-fire jokes, and affable cast. It’s the kind of movie you can put on at a party, and people can vibe out with between conversations. But it’s also the kind of movie you can watch on your own to enjoy its surprising depth, sophistication, and craft.

Will you agree that Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey is the best sequel ever made, or would you like to send this ‘90s classic on a one-way trip to the past? The only way to find out is to stream this quirky comedy for free on Tubi. If nothing else, this is the perfect way to see how future action icon Keanu Reeves got his start!

Reboots and remakes aren’t a new Hollywood trend. For decades, studios have been digging into their archives to revive old IP for a new generation.  It worked with Battlestar Galactica, but a few years later, Universal attempted the same formula: a TV movie, then a launch of the new, darker, grittier series with Knight Rider.

The deliberately cheesy ’80s series that turned David Hasselhoff into an international star stalled at the starting line when it returned in 2008. Not even a mid-season rework could save the series, which is now mostly forgotten, while the original remains a fan favorite.

A K.I.T.T. For A New Generation

The 2008 series replaces Hasselhoff’s Michael Knight with his son, Michael Tracuer, adopting the name Knight after the first episode (played by Justin Bruening, now a Hallmark movie regular), and Val Kilmer voices K.I.T.T. The two are working for the U.S. government under the watchful eye of FBI Agent Carrie Rivai (Sydney Poitier) and NSA Agent Alex Torres (Yancey Arias), at least for the first dozen episodes before the reboot hits and the pair end up working for the revived Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG). This time around, K.I.T.T. is powered by nanotechnology, and the series attempted to tell overarching storylines digging into both Mike’s forgotten past and the return of K.I.T.T.’s archenemy, K.A.R.R. 

As with most network procedurals, the overarching storylines came into play during the opening and closing of most episodes, with the bulk of the runtime an adventure of the week. Mike goes undercover to foil assassination plots, has to drive over 100 MPH to keep a bomb from exploding, goes undercover to prevent an assassination, races a terrorist, and you’re starting to get the picture. To Universal’s credit, they put a hefty budget behind the Knight Rider reboot, with every episode featuring great shots of K.I.T.T., but in 2008, no one could get excited over the return of a show that was mostly known for being a punchline. 

Once he finally appears, K.A.R.R. was voiced by Peter Cullen, most famous as the voice of Transformers’ Optimus Prime, which is a little ironic as the reboot series decided to turn K.I.T.T. into a transformer. Taking advantage of the nanomachine concept and an increased special effects budget, K.I.T.T. would shift forms into “attack mode” and even “turbo boost,” resulting in exterior modifications to the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. It was the right type of updating from the original’s “Super Pursuit Mode” but overshadowed by every other misguided attempt to modernize the series.

No One Cares About Michael Knight’s Love Life

Knight Rider was so ignored that NBC dropped the series from 22 to 17 episodes, and dropping the extended cast halfway through to focus more on Michael and K.I.T.T. proved to be too little, too late. The TV movie pilot brought in 12 million viewers, but by going darker, it alienated fans of the original, and everyone else realized the goofy concept didn’t work in the 21st century. If the studio had embraced the inherent absurdity of a superpowered car used to perform clandestine government missions, it could have been a weekly Fast and Furious adventure. 

Universal tried to replicate Knight Rider in 1985, while the original was still airing, with Street Hawk by turning the car into a motorcycle, but as Torque proved, that never works. The success of the Battlestar Galactica reboot has never been duplicated, no matter how many times studios try. Instead of attempting to make something new and different, we’re subjected to more NCIS spin-offs, more updated revivals that miss the entire point of the original (looking at you, Charmed), and another Dexter sequel series.

Knight Rider 2008 attempted to do something different by shifting its missions and featuring a larger, more diverse cast. In the process, it forgot that what made the original a fan favorite was the relationship between Michael and K.I.T.T., not Michael’s love life, and especially not by forcing a love triangle into the story. Back in 2008, giving fans a campy show that winks at the audience would have been new and original; instead, they got another “modern” update, and Universal had to handle another early cancellation.

The timeline has been heating up all week as fans geared up to tune into Bad Bunny’s halftime show. Between Chris Brown’s  seemingly subtle reaction and ongoing chatter online, folks haven’t stopped debating who the Super Bowl should’ve booked or who should take the stage next year. Now, DJ Akademiks has sparked a fresh round of discourse after throwing his own nomination into the mix.

DJ Akademiks Weighs In On The Halftime Conversation

DJ Akademiks took to X to share his thoughts on this year’s halftime show, praising the energy while also throwing shade at last year’s performance.

“This halftime show was fun.. had ppl vibing and dancing on some positive togetherness sht… last year Kendrick did a PSA for PDFS the whole performance .. sht was awkward and tone deaf. N**a we ain’t tryna hear dat sht.. we tryna get lit and turnt! Bad Bunny clears sorry!”

He then shifted the conversation toward next year, officially throwing his own pick into the ring. “Next year I nominate NBA YOUNGBOY to perform. Roc Nation I have sent my official recommendation via email and courier mail. Thanks for yall consideration!!! YB 2027 SUPERBOWL!” Akademiks also showed love to Chris Brown as a potential headliner, calling him one of the best performers alive right now and saying organizers should book him while he’s still flipping across stages.

I agree next year let’s put on BRIS BREEZY! ngl ain’t nobody alive rn can perform like him rn. We gotta book him before he get too old to do triple backflips and Gabbie Douglas somersaults n shit. Chris put his heart into every performance. Usher was good. BREEZY da GOAT! pic.twitter.com/8YYUmF326l

Social Media Reacts 

Folks gathered under The Shade Room Teens to debate DJ Akademiks’ tweet. Many said they don’t think it will ever happen. Others added it better not happen before Chris Brown or Lil Wayne. Meanwhile, YoungBoy’s fans are already ready to buy tickets, sharing why they believe he’d deliver the perfect halftime show.

Instagram user @_pooh_215_ wrote. “Bring the slime im ready that definitely be the best superbowl ever rs make America slimy again”

Reginae Carter And Joseline Hernadez Enter The Chat

While the internet continues to debate who should’ve performed at the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, Reginae Carter made it clear she’s over it. She took to her Instagram Story writing, “I’m so tired of y’all fighting about this Super Bowl show every year! Lolll.”

If y’all recall, last year’s debate centered around her father, Lil Wayne, after many fans felt he should’ve headlined, especially since the game took place in his hometown of New Orleans. Some even argued he should’ve been chosen over Kendrick Lamar.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the internet, Joseline Hernandez chimed in after a fan tweeted that Bad Bunny should’ve brought her out during the show. Joseline replied, “That s**t would have been jumping.”

Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for February 9 -20, 2026 divulge Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) exiting and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) making a huge deal.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Jeremy & Alex Face Off

On Monday, February 9th, Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) are going to get into an intense confrontation and a stare down. Jeremy is sick and tired of being accused of things he hasn’t done. Meanwhile, Alex is 100% sure that Jeremy’s the bad guy and is lying and stalking. Who is going to be right?

Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) agrees to help Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) on Monday. They’re setting up a huge surprise for Alex. Plus, Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) surprises Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and tells her the big news that he, Lani Price (Sal Stowers), and the twins are moving back to Salem. Julie’s over the moon about this.

Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) are discussing their connection and the type of relationship they shared. In contrast, Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and Leo fell in love and it was a genuine soulmate kind of connection. But with Leo and Dimitri, a lot of it was about sneaking around and physical attraction.

Leo may actually be relieved when Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) interrupts them in Horton Town Square to arrest Dimitri for the Crypt Crew kidnapping plot this week. Additionally, Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) considers doing a favor when Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) approaches her. This may be about Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) or maybe about some other DiMera drama.

DOOL Spoilers: The DiMeras Bid Farewell to Stefano and Xander Gets Close to Gwen

Tuesday, February 10th, we’ve got Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), Belle Black (Martha Madison), and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) all very upset and chewing Kristen a new one. We know she wants Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) out of Bayview ASAP, but Brady wants Rachel to get the help she needs. So does Marlena.

Belle’s been working overtime to advocate to protect Rachel and to get Kristen out of trouble for something she confessed to but didn’t do. I’m very interested to see what the judge decides about Rachel’s fate and how Kristen reacts to all that.

Chad may take Tony DiMera’s (Thaao Penghlis) suggestion, and this could be why Chad is packing his bags to leave town with Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary) and Charlotte DiMera (Olivia & Oakley Rondou). Chad’s going to talk to Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) about it this week.

The DiMeras say their final goodbye to Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo). Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson), EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), Chad, Kristen, and Tony are going to enter their dad’s ashes in the crypt to put the Phoenix to rest once and for all. Then Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) shows up and tells EJ that Stefano’s last instructions were to give him the Phoenix ring. EJ is going to put it on his finger, and I wonder if we’re going to see a big power trip after this.

Also this week, Gwen is giving Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) some hands-on pointers to play putt-putt. They are in the park together, and then Gwen is going to take Xander back to the mansion, throw him on the bed, and climb aboard. It looks like we’re going to have some sexy time for Gwen and Xander.

Days Spoilers: Valentine’s Day Deals and Dimitri’s Quest for Freedom

Wednesday, February 11th, is when Valentine’s Day arrives in Salem. Kristen gives Brady an enticing offer. She’s trying to cut a deal and I think she’s going to offer joint custody if he will meet Kristen’s demands.

What does she want in return? She already said she wants Brady to move out of the Kiriakis (John Aniston) mansion and get a place to live with Rachel. I wonder if Kristen is also going to demand that Brady stop seeing Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey).

Meanwhile, Dimitri wants his freedom. He’s insisting he did not do the DiMera kidnappings and was himself a kidnapping victim, which is all true, but it’s pretty funny.

Dimitri needs a lawyer ASAP. I don’t think EJ or Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) is going to represent him. Maybe DA Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) will; she knows him and they worked together on that whole baby-stealing thing in the past. Plus, Marlena has a talk with Leo, and he really opens up to her about how much he misses Javi and the ongoing temptation he’s dealing with by Dimitri’s presence in Salem.

Romantic Dates and a Shocking Wedding Surprise on Days of Our Lives

Thursday, February 12th, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) are enjoying some Valentine’s Day romance as Heart Day continues in Salem. EJ invites Cat to have dinner with him on Valentine’s Day. Is this a first date or a “thank you for covering while I was out of town” professional thing?

EJ may have more planned than a fancy chef-created dinner. We are supposed to be getting a kiss soon between EJ and Cat. Meanwhile, Chad is planning to leave Salem and head to Arizona for an extended period with Charlotte and Thomas.

Billy Flynn‘s (Actor) last episode is not this week, but it is coming soon. There’s a spoiler photo of Chad kissing Cat in the Square on Valentine’s Day. I suspect this may be a fantasy in one of their minds, or at least I hope it is, because Chad knows that is a dealbreaker. He even wrote a no-Cat Greene clause into the custody agreement he made with Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer Horton (Cady McClain).

Jada and Stephanie take Alex by surprise. It looks like it is a surprise wedding they have set up. Stephanie tells Alex she can’t wait to be his wife. They’re going to be in front of an officiant saying their vows. She’s in a white dress, he’s sliding a ring on her finger, and it looks like a real wedding. I wonder if their elopement scheme inspired this.

DOOL Spoilers: Friday the 13th Brings Bittersweet Memories and High-Stakes Inheritance

Friday, February 13th, Julie, Marlena, and Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) are sharing bittersweet Valentine’s Day reminiscences because they’ve all lost their loved ones over the past year and a half. Plus, Xander and Sarah have a little run-in that is filled with uncomfortable nostalgia.

Julie and Gwen get into it and swap some insults. You remember how happy Julie was when Gwen’s credit card didn’t go through? That was so funny.

Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) snaps, so Valentine’s Day is not going to be so romantic for them. It looks like she’s going to go off on Tate Black (Leo Howard) at the pub. Those drugs that Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) slipped Holly are pretty bad and strong.

Plus, Brady has a heartfelt conversation with Tate, and it may be about Rachel. Also this week, Rafe tells Eli that Gabi may be inheriting millions of dollars from Stefan’s share of the DiMera fortune if they can prove her divorce papers were forged and Stefan never signed them.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Stephanie in Danger and the Mystery of the DiMera Lab Tube

The week of February 16th through the 20th, we should be seeing Chad saying his goodbyes to Salem. Connor Floyd will debut as the new Chad DiMera in April. Gabi is still cleaning up the mess she made, as EJ has demanded she do this. Dimitri’s arrest is going to thrill her, but we’ll see if Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) did enough to keep him behind bars. By the way, Louise Sorel’s (Actor) short arc is done on Days of our Lives.

Stephanie’s stalker is going to snatch her from the hospital soon, and her wedding to Alex may push the stalker to act now. It looks like Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is going to be taking her from work. Alex and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) aren’t there to protect her because they have their eyes on Jeremy instead of on this other blast from Stephanie’s past.

Xander may ask Gwen out for another date. Xander has decided he’s going to move on since Sarah is moving on. However, anything with Gwen is going to be a short-lived rebound, much to her disappointment.

Holly freaks out on her bestie, Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes). Because of the drugs, Holly is acting differently and Arianna doesn’t like this new version of her best friend. Sophia keeps planning her revenge, satisfied that she has already made Holly unhinged. She also wants to get Tate back and take Trey away from his adoptive parents.

Cat struggles with attraction to EJ and residual feelings for Chad. Meanwhile, Dr. Rolf and EJ are nearly ready to revive the “tube person.” Hopefully, we’ll get that by the end of Sweeps on February 25th. EJ is going to bring Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) down to the lab soon to show her who is in the tube, and she looks horrified. We know it’s a woman EJ loves, so it may be Lexi Carver (Renee Jones).
