Days of our Lives Early Spoilers Sept 14-18: Philip PANICS & Joy Plays DIRTY!

Hey, Days of Our Lives fans. We have got your early edition spoilers for next week, which starts September 14th with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) absolutely frantic about trying to win that poker game in Monte Carlo to save the family.

Plus, Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) is making a super sneaky move involving Alex and her weird daydreams about making him her husband. Also, the week of September 14th through the 18th, there’s a new villain on the scene. Plus, the chess set mystery takes a leap forward. And back in Salem, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is pressing for answers. So, let’s dive right in.

As we always do on early edition day, we’ll go over what’s happening the rest of this week and then get into what is coming next week.

Days of our Lives: Joy Beside Herself

So, on Wednesday, September 9th’s episode of Days of Our Lives, we have got a setback freaking Joy out. We’ll see Alex sitting by Joy’s side at the hospital and he’s holding on to her as she looks devastated. This seems like some kind of bad news about her spinal surgery which should have happened at this point.

So, were there complications? Maybe. Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) talked about the high success rate, though. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) gets encouragement from Kayla and she tells Stephanie, “Don’t give up on Alex despite the current challenges that their marriage is facing.”

Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) worry how things might have gone. They both have very strong thoughts about their split. This week, Sarah’s rolling around in bed with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), but her mind is on Xander, and he’s packing up stuff and sniffing a green scarf that looks like Sarah’s.

Steve and Brady go over the Coriseal cover up and where things are now with their ongoing investigation. They really want to stick it to EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). There are so many more people climbing aboard the let’s take down EJ train that it may be standing room only.

DOOL Spoilers: Leo Approaches Javi

Thursday, September 10th on Days of Our Lives. Leo needs to talk with Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) and Leo may push Javi again because he really wants them to be friends. Leo just wants to hang out with Javi, but soon he’s going to realize that Leo is the man that he wants. Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and her fake fiancée Philip run into a familiar face at the poker game in Monte Carlo.

They are very surprised to see Sydney DiMera (Sidney Malakeh) all grown up and she is also playing in the tournament. This is Sydney’s first air date in the role. We’ll see if EJ gets to see Sydney, who just told him that she’s out of the country, so maybe she’ll hustle back to Italy after the poker game and hitch a ride back to Salem with EJ. Philip tells Sydney the next time they meet, it’ll be at the poker table. And Sydney taunts Philip and says, “May the best man or woman win.”

So, I wonder if Gabi and Philip may trash talk EJ to his daughter Sydney since he is the reason that they are there with five million dollars on the line, hoping to win a lot more. Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) gets some bad news. This might be about her roommate, Holly, and that new guy in town, Mason Whitfield (Brandon Butler), who hates her. Then again, Arianna’s bad news may be about her internship going away since Gabi went to Kate and asked her to get Arianna out of DiMera. Kate agreed, but also Gabi’s worried that Ari’s going to find out.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Gabbi Meddling Once Again

And Kate said that they could keep it confidential. But just like the situation with Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop), I’m sure that Ari is going to find out that Gabi is once again interfering in her life. And when Arianna finds out, she’s probably going to be really ticked off.

Tate and Holly get away for the weekend, but something unexpected rains on their parade. So, Holly and Tate are out on a picnic when she gets an upsetting message on her phone, and this may tie back to her new nemesis, Mason.

Also, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) remains really suspicious about EJ. Marlena does not like that EJ tagged along to Italy on Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd)’s flight. I do think that EJ is legit concerned about them possibly being in danger and maybe he’s also a little nosy about the chess set mystery, but EJ legit also wanted to see Sydney. So, too bad she’s in Monaco instead.

DOOL Spoilers: Xander & Maggie’s Bonding Moment

Friday, September 11th on Days of Our Lives. Xander gets some things off his chest talking to Maggie Horton (Suzanne Rogers). This is a really sweet conversation about their mutual devastation. They’re losing the mansion Victor built. They’re about to lose Titan, the company he built, and Xander feels responsible for them losing all of Victor’s legacy. Xander feels like he’s lost everything important to him, including Sarah.

I expect Maggie to reassure Xander it’s not his fault and they’ll get through it. Gwen has a vent session with her bestie Leo, and she may be complaining about EJ pushing to stay involved with the hospital. Gwen is ticked that EJ is going to be her silent partner because he leveraged her and Gwen’s annoyed that she didn’t have any means to stop him. Or this may be her being upset that Leo blabbed and got her dead man switch letter taken.

EJ has some new orders for Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney). It’s too bad that she seems to have switched loyalties and is not really following EJ’s orders right now. Rita sent his Phoenix ring to the mystery man after all. And speaking of that guy wearing the ring, he drops another clue for Chad and Belle in the chess set scavenger hunt. And we’ll see if it’s going to lead them to another country or if there’s more to do in Italy before this Stefano quest sends them elsewhere.

Days Spoilers: Dante Vitali Debuts

Then the week of September 14th through the 18th on Days of Our Lives, we are going to meet Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti), Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney)’s fiancée, when he makes his debut on Monday the 14th. I’m curious to see if he is the one in the ring or if it is somebody else. It could be that Dante is also the one behind the purchase of the Kiriakis mansion because just there’s a lot of red flags.

They’re introducing Dante months before we get Sami back on screen in 2027. So clearly there’s a lot more to Dante’s story. We’ll see how Sydney and Philip do in the high stakes poker game because they’re playing against each other. Philip has everything to lose, but the question is, why is Sydney there? Does she need money for some reason?

Also, Gabi and Philip are going to get much closer on their trip and when they’re back to Salem. However, it looks like Philip may not get the big win that they need. So, Gabi may lose her five million dollars. And Philip may be crushed that he has to report back that his Hail Mary plan failed. But the Kiriakis family is going to work together and find a way to rebuild what they lost.

Arianna, Aaron Green (Louis Tomeo), and Tate Black (Leo Howard) might be there as backup for Holly to have a confrontation with Mason about why he is being so nasty to her. I still have a feeling this has something to do with Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Holly cyberbullying her. And if it is, I still wonder, is Sophia alive? Because her remains never turned up.

Days of our Lives: Abe & Paulina Get Closer

Rita’s new boss is revealed soon. Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) start warming up to each other again soon. And after her surgery, it looks like Joy is up to no good. And she thinks she might be getting somewhere with Alex, but then he’s going to turn the tables on her. Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) may crack under pressure and confess everything.

Meanwhile, Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) wraps up her cancer treatment and is home with their kids and happy that the ordeal is done. She had that one chemo session left and then she has a lumpectomy. Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) is going to keep freaking out over what EJ might find in Italy.

And Cat is right to be concerned because EJ may learn more about Cat’s mission when she was in the hospital. And even if EJ finds nothing, he is on high alert about Cat now. So, her days of honeypotting might be over. Kristen is coming back soon and she is not going to be alone.
