Netflix releases thousands of new projects every year, and while some are given the chance to continue beyond one season, others are unfairly cancelled before things get a chance to get going. Platforms cancelling big-budget shows that end on a cliffhanger have become one of the most frustrating streaming trends over the last few years. Netflix isn’t the only one that’s guilty of it, but the streaming Goliath does have something of a cancellation reputation that is getting harder to shake with each new axing. The streamer has cut down on this slightly by marketing many of its new shows as limited series.

One project that received the axe last year, much to the disappointment of fans, was The Abandons. The seven-part Western thrill ride stars Game of Thrones veteran Lena Headey, along with Gillian Anderson, Nick Robinson, and more. The show follows a diverse group of families who must push back against a system that is pushing for coveted land. The Abandons earned scores of 30% from critics and 51% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, which may not be anything to glance at twice. However, many would argue that the show is misunderstood and could have further gained its footing in future seasons.

At the time of writing, The Abandons has officially exited every top 10 streaming list around the world. The series was heading in the right direction until Netflix announced last month that it had been cancelled, which led to many giving up on watching it if it was not going to have another season. TV shows have never felt less like long-term investments than they do now, and this trend is only poised to get worse as more time passes.

What Else Is Streaming on Netflix Right Now?

The most popular show on Netflix right now is Unfamiliar, the German spy thriller starring Felix Kramer and Susanne Wolf. The show has even overtaken the latest seasons of Bridgerton and The Lincoln Lawyer, as well as Sullivan’s Crossing, which is flying high with a new season on the way. The most popular movie on Netflix right now is The Rip, the Miami-set crime thriller starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Glen Powell’s 2024 huge summer blockbuster, Twisters, has also become a massive streaming success.

Be sure to watch all seven episodes of the first and only season of The Abandons on Netflix and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

Angelina Jolie Sees Her Scars As A Choice

Angelina Jolie Made A Bold Move To Show Her Scars To The World 

The ‘Tomb Raider’ Actress Was Slammed For Her Statements 

Angelina Jolie Is Reportedly Preparing To Relocate

Young and the Restless spoilers for Feb 16-20 suggest Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) is stealing everything, and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) is going to be raging.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week. Then, we’re going to dive into what’s coming next week.

Young and the Restless Spoilers: This Week’s Major Drama

On Wednesday, February 11th, Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks) updates Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) that the police know where Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) is. They’ve confirmed Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) is with her, and she is going to be arrested soon.

Tessa tells him that Mariah lost interest in her and their daughter Aria Porter-Copeland (Millie Ingle). Tessa said that after all that, she just decided to stop fighting her feelings for Daniel. In the end, Tessa has no regrets about being with Daniel. He has no regrets either.

Y&R Spoilers: Mariah, Dominic, and the Emotional Standoff

Tessa says that Mariah is facing prison once she’s back and will need support. The question is whether that support will come from her or if she’ll leave that to Sharon Newman (Sharon Case).

Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), Devon Hamilton Winters (Bryton James), Sharon, and Detective James Burrows (Matt Cohen) are on a private plane. They are heading to stop Mariah from leaving the country with Dominic. And they all agree that Mariah needs help. They just need to get Dominic to safety.

Mariah is in New Mexico. She was heading for the border. They debate how to approach her safely, and in the end, they decide Sharon needs to do it instead of the cops.

Dominic’s Ordeal and the Private Plane Rescue on Young and the Restless

Mariah is driving with Dominic. He’s complaining that he wants his parents. Mariah says they don’t want him right now. Dominic freaks out when Mariah says they are going to their new home. He doesn’t like her calling him Bowie.

He starts yelling at her to stop and call his parents. Dominic unbuckles his seatbelt to grab the phone. Mariah is yelling and crying. Then she rants at Dominic for not appreciating her, and she says sorry. Dominic calls Mariah mean, and she says they can’t go home.

She talks about how she has a more significant bond with him than Abby does because he grew in Mariah’s belly. Dominic nods off as Mariah talks again about being his mommy and Dominic being her son. She has pulled over for this whole confrontation.

Y&R Spoilers: Sharon and Abby Reunite with Dominic

Then, Sharon gets in the car with her and says she brought some special people to see Dominic. The kid wakes up. Abby and Devon are there. Dominic runs to them, and they get him loaded onto the private plane on Young and the Restless.

Dominic tells them Mariah was taking him to Mexico. So, Dominic says that he dreamed his daddy Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) was watching over him from heaven. They tell Dominic that the police are going to take Mariah to a doctor because she is really sad.

Devon calls Tessa and lets her know they have Dominic. He is safe, and Mariah has been arrested. Tessa is crying in Daniel’s arms. She says she has to let Mariah go. She is ready to move on with Daniel.

Detective Burrows lets Mariah know that once they’re back in Genoa City, she is going to be charged with kidnapping.

Emotional Fallout for Mariah and Sharon on Young and the Restless

Sharon is there with Mariah. She tells her that moms find their daughters when they’re lost. Sharon tells Mariah she loves her no matter what. They will get through this. Mariah is crying on her mom’s shoulder. She clearly needs help.

On Thursday, February 12th, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is stunned when Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) shows up at the Abbott mansion really worked up and upset. I wonder if she’s going to tell Jack about Lily Winters (Christel Khalil) kidnapping.

Big Moves for Jack Abbott and Nikki Newman on Y&R

We know that Nikki is going to tell Jack she’s worried about what Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) is going to do next. She fears he may go too far beyond what she can tolerate. Jack and Nikki are hugging, and he’s comforting her.

Diane walks in and is really irritated to see Nikki in Jack’s arms. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) spies on Phyllis and Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) plotting. She may overhear Phyllis bragging about chloroforming Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn).

Phyllis, Billy, and Victoria: Plotting and Power Plays

We know that Phyllis is rushing to transfer assets over to them so Victor can’t get them back from Cane. It looks like Newman Enterprises is meant for Phyllis, Chancellor is meant for Billy, and he asked for Newman Media to go to Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope). Phyllis didn’t like that but agreed to it.

I don’t even know if Billy’s girlfriend would accept it. I don’t think she would. Also, Victor realizes something shocking about Cane. On Thursday, we’ll see Victor over at the Cane train. He is in the bedroom when Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) walks in and sees Cane lying there, still as a corpse.

At first, Adam worries that Victor did something to Cane. Of course, we know Phyllis just chloroformed him. Unless they figure it out, they may think Cane’s drunk. They are definitely going to realize he’s unconscious.

Young and the Restless: Adam, Chelsea, and the Valentine’s Day Surprises

On Friday, February 13th, Adam is romancing Chelsea Lawson Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) for Valentine’s Day. I’m sure they are going to try to forget all the Newman drama, at least for the day. Billy is going over the top to try and prove himself to Sally. But I think she will be upset if Billy tries to give her Newman Media for Valentine’s Day.

I don’t think Sally will like Billy trying to give her something that’s stolen. Especially if it’s because Billy’s conspiring with Phyllis. That’s not going to help. Plus, Sally is happy with Abbotcom. If Newman Media is some sort of grand gesture from Billy, I think it’s going to fall flat.

Meanwhile, Noah Newman (Lucas Adams) is working overtime to impress Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun) for Valentine’s Day. It looks like he’s not going to accept the breakup. He may head to Los Angeles.

Y&R February Sweeps: What’s Next?

The week of February 16th through the 20th is the last full week of February sweeps. Sweeps wraps on the 25th. The following week we’ll have three more episodes of sweeps. Sharon supports Mariah as she is back in Genoa City facing criminal charges for kidnapping Dominic. Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) is back soon, likely to represent Mariah.

I have no doubt Christine is going to enter an insanity plea as she should because Mariah is totally unhinged. Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) pain grows. It’s not getting any better. He’s going to be out of his prescription pills soon that he and Sharon got from the doctor. By the end of sweeps, I think Nick’s growing pain and medication crisis is going to move to the front burner.

Returns to Genoa City: Lily, Patty, and Matt Clark

Lily is going to be back on screen in March. Christel Khalil is already back filming after giving birth to baby number three. Stacy Haiduk is returning as Patty Williams. She will also be on air in March. Maybe interacting with Mariah.

I do suspect we may get one last hurrah from Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) by the end of sweeps. There is a spoiler saying, just when you think he’s gone, he’s back. There’s one last big confrontation and conflagration.

Noah and Sienna: Romance on the Edge on Young and the Restless

Noah’s heart is in Sienna’s hands, but I doubt she is going to stay with him. It’s probably going to send him back to Genoa City alone and brokenhearted. Claire Grace Newman (Hayley Erin) search for dirt on Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) intensifies while she and Holden Novak (Nathan Owens) are in LA. Claire wants to head to that gallery to get some answers. Sienna may give her some more info too.

Diane, Sally, Cane & Phyllis: Who Comes Out on Top?

Diane is just about over Jack being so close and so unreasonably loyal to his ex-wife Nikki. Sally is unsure what to do about Billy. We’ll find out if Cane was knocked out long enough for Phyllis to get everything she wanted.

If so, the big losers are going to be Cane and Victor. If you remember, Cane called Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) and said, “Destroy the AI and draw up paperwork to transfer the assets back to Victor.” So, I do suspect the AI is destroyed. But with Amanda doing paperwork while Phyllis is moving things electronically, I think she may beat Amanda to the punch.

Now that the 2026 Super Bowl is over, it’s time to pay attention to what’s really important in life — watching good films.

There’s plenty of quality movies out there, including a few that were criminally ignored last year.

Watch With Us is here to right that wrong. I’ve selected three overlooked 2025 movies that are worth your time to watch in February.

From the critically maligned Ella McCay starring Jamie Lee Curtis on Disney+ to the afterlife rom-com Eternity with Elizabeth Olsen on Apple TV, these pictures deserve a second life on streaming.

‘Ella McCay’ (2025) — Disney+

Recently, the December bomb Ella McCay was released in France to ecstatic reviews, with one critic hailing the maligned comedy-drama as a masterpiece. I wouldn’t go quite that far, but it’s nice to see Ella McCay appreciated for the charming — if flawed — movie that it is.

2026 may have bigger months than February when it comes to new movies and TV shows on the major streamer. But it’s a really solid lineup this month. Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video and the rest of the major streamers aren’t waiting around to drop some great titles. There are so many great choices that even […]

Ella McCay (Emma Mackey) suddenly finds herself the governor of a state in desperate need of help. Ella’s personal life could use some fixing up, too, especially when her estranged father, Eddie McCay (Woody Harrelson), crashes back into her life. With a looming political scandal and a crumbling marriage, Ella’s life is more chaotic than ever. Can she be the leader everyone needs her to be?

There’s a lot going on in Ella McCay, and not all of it works, but it has enough good qualities that make it better than its bad reputation here in the States. Anyone who has seen Sex Education knows Mackey is a talented actress, and she finally has a lead role in a big-budget movie that shows her flair for comedy and drama. Written and directed by James L. Brooks, the film echoes his earlier classics like Terms of Endearment and Broadcast News in depicting messy family and professional relationships that aren’t easy to categorize or deal with.

‘Eternity’ (2025) — Apple TV+

Finding true love is rare, but Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) is lucky — she found it twice, with Luke (Callum Turner) when she was very young and with Larry (Miles Teller), whom she’s been married to for 65 years. Now Joan is faced with an impossible decision — which one should she spend the rest of eternity with?

Eternity isn’t your usual rom-com fare. For starters, everyone in the movie is dead — the movie takes place in an afterlife where you get to decide who you want to spend forever with in a customized eternal existence. The only catch is that once you choose an eternity, that decision is final — any attempts to go back will lead you to be cast away into The Void, which is as bleak as it sounds.

Eternity isn’t bleak; instead, it’s a surprisingly optimistic portrait about what could possibly happen after you shuffle off this mortal coil. The movie is clever in that it doesn’t make Joan’s decision obvious — both men truly love her, even if their love for her means different things. Taking a break from playing the MCU’s wicked witch and real-life murderers on streaming, Olsen finally snags a role that lets her showcase her rom-com bonafides. You couldn’t ask for a more charming actress to spend Eternity with.

Eternity will stream on Apple TV on February 13.

‘The Running Man’ (2025) — Paramount+

One of the few truly bankable genres left at the box office is sci-fi, so it’s even more perplexing that The Running Man wasn’t a hit at the box office last November. It has everything going for it: a charismatic lead star, Glen Powell, who shows off his action-movie prowess; assured direction from Edgar Wright, who clearly loves the Stephen King story he’s adapting; and a killer-reality-show concept that, in our age of Beast Wars and real-life Squid Games, is more relevant than ever.

Powell plays Ben Richards, a blue-collar everyman who is trying to get by in a bleak future dystopia. When his daughter gets sick, he needs a lot of money to get the treatment she needs to survive. The only way for someone like him to do that is to take part in The Running Man, a reality TV competition show that awards the winner $1 billion. Sounds awesome, right? Well, the downside is that there can be only one winner, and all the losers have to pay a very high price — their lives.

Critics panned Lost in Space when it premiered in the ’90s, though the film fared pretty well commercially and earned a cult audience. Today, in a remarkable turn of events, the movie enjoys new life and appreciation among fans via a restored Collector’s Edition by Shout Factory. The re-release reignited interest in the cult classic. 

Shout Factory is renowned for reviving classic films, and they’ve gone to the limit for Lost In Space. Their special edition of the sci-fi film shipped in 2024. The Lost In Space Special Edition features a new 2K scan of the interpositive, ensuring a hugely enhanced visual experience.

The Lost in Space re-release includes bells and whistles like DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1, commentaries from director Stephen Hopkins, writer-producer Akiva Goldsman, and others, in addition to deleted/additional scenes, and more. The comprehensive package surpasses a mere restoration: it’s a celebration of the film’s unique, underappreciated place in sci-fi cinema.

Premiering in the late 1990s, the film amounted to an ambitious adaptation of the 1960s TV series (of the same name). The movie sought to nail the same sense of adventure and wonder inherent to space travel, intertwining it all with family dynamics and futuristic tech. 

The narrative revolves around the intergalactic Robinson family, as they embark on a mission to discover a habitable planet. Of course, the space-faring Robinsons are soon lost in space (wink-wink) and thrown off course, resulting in an extraordinary, often funny saga through deep space. 

In 2058, with the Earth facing imminent uninhabitability, the Powers That Be launch the Robinson family on the spaceship Jupiter II. Their mission? Get to Alpha Prime, where the Robinsons are to build a hypergate for Earth’s population transfer.

Soon, however, terrorists sabotage the effort. Their spy, Dr. Zachary Smith, steers the ship off course. The family thus encounters the derelict vessel Proteus, in addition to the memorably creepy, spider-like creatures aboard. All of this sets the stage for a thrilling sci-fi experience, benefitting from healthy doses of comedy, as the Robinsons battle baddies, leverage time travel, and save the world.

Upon its release in 1998, Lost in Space endured a decidedly mixed reaction from critics. The experts admitted that the film boasted impressive special effects and a stellar cast (William Hurt and Matt LeBlanc, at the height of his Friends fame, shine). But the movie suffered from plot inconsistencies and, some critics claimed, failed to embody the original series’s unique sensibility fully. 

Roger Ebert particularly panned the movie, which today has a dismal 27 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an only marginally better 42 out of 100 on Metacritic (always the more charitable aggregator). 

However, Lost in Space’s box office earnings were more positive. Against an $80 million budget, the movie grossed around $136 million worldwide for a $56 million profit: not bad. 

Thankfully, the film’s saga did not end there; it transformed from a critical joke to a cult darling. In the following decades, fans came to appreciate the film’s ambition and quirky vision, alongside its singular aesthetic. They also disagreed with so-called professionals, embracing the movie’s nostalgic connection to the 1960s TV series. 

The restored version released by Shout Factory testifies to the enduring appeal of Lost in Space. 

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Feb 16-20, 2026 indicate Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) is irate and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) is moving on.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week, and then we’ll dive into the action next week.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Salem Heats Up with Dimitri and Xander Drama

On Wednesday, February 11th, Valentine’s Day gets started in Salem. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is noticing a shift in EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) demeanor and behavior. I thought he looked really devilish at the moment he slid Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) ring onto his finger in the crypt. This happened after Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) hand-delivered it to him and told him it was the original Phoenix ring.

DOOL Spoilers: EJ DiMera Faces Dark Temptations with Stefano’s Legacy

Then Rolf told EJ that he must carry on his father’s work and legacy. I think that’s the time to wake up the pod person and get more villainous.

Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) have a talk. Since it is Valentine’s Day, I’m sure that Leo is really missing Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon). At least Dimitri’s in jail, falsely accused of the DiMera kidnapping, so he’s not in Leo’s hair. I wonder if Marlena is going to have some good advice on Days of our Lives.

Plus, Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) gets an enticing offer from Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). She pulled Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) out of Bayview without Brady agreeing. Belle Black (Martha Madison) warned her that Rachel could face judicial consequences now that she took her out of the psych hospital—as in juvie instead of therapy. But Kristen is stubborn.

Brady and Kristen’s Custody War Over Rachel Intensifies

She offers Brady joint custody, but the question is at what cost? I wonder if it will be to support her keeping Rachel out when Belle keeps saying this is a bad idea. Belle says they’re going to really tank the criminal case against her.

Dimitri wants his freedom. He keeps insisting to Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and others that he did not kidnap the DiMeras. I wonder if Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) is going to get him out of the Salem PD lockup in time for him to try and woo Leo on Valentine’s Day.

Gwen, Melinda & Rafe: Salem’s Law and Love Tangle with Dimitri

On Thursday, February 12th, we have Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) ready to leave Salem. He’s going to take the kids to Arizona for an extended period. If you don’t remember, a fair amount of Salemites used to live in Arizona. Will Horton (Chandler Massey) and Sonny Kiriakis (Zach Tinker) used to live out there.

Arianna “Ari” Grace Horton (Marissa Reyes) was with them when she was younger, and Chad spent time with them out there. Nobody that used to live there is there now, though, that we’ve heard. So it’s kind of an interesting choice.

It was his brother Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) who convinced Chad that he should take Thomas DiMera (Cary Christopher) and Charlotte DiMera (Autumn Gendron) away for some quality time after the custody battle. Plus, Thomas is taking some heat over the Jeremy stuff.

Chad DiMera’s Big Move: Family Turmoil and Last Days in Salem

Billy Flynn’s last episode comes really soon. Then we’re going to meet the recast Chad and recast Thomas in a couple of months.

There’s a spoiler photo of Chad and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) in the square on Valentine’s Day. Chad approaches her to tell her he’s taking the kids to Arizona. Maybe it’s a kiss goodbye. Or maybe one of them is daydreaming. Chad should not be kissing Cat in the middle of Salem Town Square because he knows that is a deal breaker for Thomas. They even wrote it into the custody papers.

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) surprise Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) with a wedding. This elopement is the real deal, not just for the stalker. Of course, he’s thrilled to marry Stephanie. He carries his wife home and over the threshold in his arms, ready to start honeymooning.

Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) enjoy some Valentine’s Day romance. Cat gets invited to dinner by EJ. With Chad walking away and leaving town, Cat may decide to double down on her ISA investigation into EJ.

Valentine’s Day on DOOL: Weddings, Romance, and Spying on EJ

We also may see this week the kiss that we know is coming between Cat and EJ. Also this week, Gwen and Xander are flirty. They’re playing putt-putt in the park. Then Gwen takes him back to her bedroom in the DiMera mansion and climbs aboard. So it looks like Xander is embracing single life even if he doesn’t want to, since Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) is moving on with Brady.

Xander, Sarah, and Gwen: Complicated Hearts and Fresh Starts on DOOL

On Friday, February 13th, we’ve got Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Susanne Rogers), Marlena, and Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) getting together to talk about past Valentine’s Days. Of course, their sweethearts have all passed away now.

Maggie lost Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston), Marlena lost John Black (Drake Hogestyn), and Julie lost Doug Williams (Bill Hayes). I’m hoping we’re going to get a few flashbacks of some of their Valentine’s Day pasts with their soulmates. I enjoyed the recent Stefano flashbacks too, I will say.

Brady has a heartfelt conversation with Tate Black (Leo Howard), and it may be about Rachel, maybe about Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis). I do wonder if Tate is going to move into Brady’s new place with them.

Xander and Sarah have a bittersweet moment of nostalgia. We know Brady and Sarah moved forward officially, and Xander may have already gotten intimate with Gwen by then.

Days Spoilers: Memories and Heartache: Maggie, Marlena, Julie & The Ones They Loved

Plus, Julie and Gwen are swapping insults on Friday. She may cash that big check she got from Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and go back to the bookstore to flaunt some cash in front of Julie. She’s trying to restore some of her pride because Gwen was really upset after Julie mocked her.

Plus, Holly snaps. She is going to freak out on Tate at the Brady Pub, saying things about him wanting to pretend everything’s fine when it’s not. Those drugs that Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) slipped Holly looked to be pretty strong. They seem to be turning Holly into somebody new and unlikable.

Holly’s Downward Spiral & Gwen Versus Julie: DOOL’s Fiery Friday

The week of February 16th through the 20th is the last full week of February sweeps, which officially wraps on the 25th. Gwen and Xander may have already hit the sheets on Valentine’s Day. We’ll see if they stop at a one-night stand, which is all he wanted from Gwen. Or maybe Xander asked Gwen out for another date.

Certainly, she wants to be with Xander and has for a long time. But any rebound between Gwen and Xander is going to be short-lived because we know from our leaker there is a Sarah and Xander reunion coming.

Gwen & Xander: Can Love Last or Will Sarah Change Everything on Days of Our Lives?

I kind of hope Dimitri walks in on them in bed because we know he doesn’t want Gwen to have any happiness in her life for obvious reasons. Cat may not be able to stop being attracted to EJ. We’ll see if they discuss Chad leaving and her being hurt. I wonder if Cat can keep her feelings for EJ compartmentalized so she can do her job for the ISA.

Chad’s packing up and leaving Salem. We’re going to see Billy Flynn’s last air date. Then Connor Floyd’s debut as the new Chad comes in April. Gabi is still cleaning up the mess—I mean, Gwen is still cleaning up the mess she made with Dimitri. The question is, how long will Dimitri stay behind bars since the charges against him are trumped up?

Dimitri in Jail, Gwen’s Guilt, and Chad’s Exit: DOOL Sweeps’ Shocking Twists

Lani Price (Sal Stowers) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) are headed back to Salem with the twins. I’m really excited about that.

Stephanie’s stalker soon snatches her from the hospital. Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is ready to make his move. Stephanie’s wedding to Alex may have pushed Owen to act now. Taking her from work, where they think Stephanie is safe, is the perfect plan.

We are going to see Alex assaulting and blaming Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) for her kidnapping. Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) is certain that it’s Jeremy, so he’s going to be super surprised when he grabs the guy in the hoodie in the park. It’s Owen Kent, who is another terrible blast from Stephanie’s past.

Arianna “Ari” Grace Horton noticed an abrupt and unwanted change in Holly. Of course, nobody knows that Sophia drugged her.

Days of Our Lives Returns and Revelations: Lani, Eli, Stephanie & Salem’s Troubled Teens

Rolf and EJ are nearly ready to revive the pod person. Very soon, Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) is shocked when EJ takes her down to the secret lab and shows her who is in the tube. Paulina looks horrified. I think it might be Lexie Carver (Renée Jones). We’ll know more soon.
