Young and the Restless gives Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow) struggling with pain every day. He’s not being honest about the extent of it, and he may be headed down the dark and scary path of addiction.

Nick’s Current Struggle on Young and the Restless

Not too long ago, Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) took Nick back to the doctor and they wrote him a refill on his pain pills. That’s a good thing because after he ran out of the prescription meds and he was still in pain and was raging—I think in part because of the pain—he did consider taking one of Matt Clark’s (Roger Howarth) fentanyl pills, but he didn’t.

Then Sharon helped him get a legitimate refill. So, for now, even though Nick is still in a lot of pain from breaking his leg and the surgery, at least he’s got one bottle of legal pain meds that he can still go through. But that refill is going to run out, especially with him taking more pills than he should. And then what happens? The doctor’s not going to keep refilling the opioids. That’s not what doctors do anymore.

Nick Newman’s Breaking Point: Will Pain Pills Lead to a Y&R Addiction Storyline?

We can all see that Phyllis Summers‘ (Michelle Stafford) and Cane Ashby’s (Billy Flynn) attack on Newman is really stressing Nick out. The threat of Matt Clark had been upsetting him, especially since he’s to blame for the car crash that broke Nick’s leg that required the surgery in the first place. Also, I don’t think Matt Clark is done.

We’re in February sweeps and they exited him off-screen. That would be insanely bad writing and a big miss for ratings. So, we’ll see. But we’ve also always seen that Nick’s got a short temper. He always has, but it’s gotten even shorter lately. Like when he was arguing with Phyllis about her teaming up with Cane and using the AI to take everything from Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and the other Newmans.

Then, Noah Newman’s (Lucas Adams) planning to leave town with his much older lover, Sienna Bacall (Tamara Braun). Sharon is spiraling because she just found out Mariah Copeland (Camryn Grimes) kidnapped Dominic Chancellor (Ethan Ray Clark) and ran off with him. So all of this is going to have Nick stressed out. That’s going to aggravate his pain, and I think that one bottle of pills he got is going to go really fast.

Fentanyl and the Newman Family: The Dangerous Path to Illegal Drugs on Young and the Restless

From there, I think it’s feasible that Nick may turn to fentanyl or some other illegal drug once the doctor cuts off the legal pain meds. If he wasn’t going to take the drugs that Matt Clark gave him, I think Nick would have already flushed them or tossed the bag out, but he didn’t.

I think one tablet of fentanyl may be enough to get Nick hooked given the addiction gene that runs in the Newman family. So, we’re going to talk about some of the bad outcomes if he does pop those illegal pills that Matt Clark gave him. The road to addiction could lead Nick to some very bad places.

First of all—and this would be a terrible thing to do—we could see his judgment so askew that Nick goes and winds up in bed with Phyllis. Obviously, she and Cane are going to crash and burn because he’s still in love with Lily Winters (Christel Khalil), and he already told Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) that what he’s got going on with Phyllis is not love.

Manipulation and Betrayal: Nick and Phyllis’ Complicated History on Y&R

This week, Victor tells Cane that he’s got Lily and the twins and he’s trying to scare Cane into stopping the Newman takeover. If that works and Cane backs off, I think Phyllis is going to turn on Cane in a heartbeat. And I think Phyllis will try and continue the Newman takeover plot on her own.

Nick might think that he can outsmart her, get close to Phyllis, convince her to stop, and try and use her feelings for him to shut her down. But if Nick’s on drugs, his judgment’s not going to be the best and he might mess up while trying to manipulate Phyllis. You know, Nick has a long, complicated history with Phyllis.

And yes, she is a train wreck, but she’s also been in love with Nick for a long time. At one point, he loved Phyllis. And if he’s deep in the throes of addiction, I think Phyllis might get the chance to sink her claws into him again. And that leads us to the next possible disaster to talk about.

The End of Shick? How Addiction Could Ruin Nick and Sharon’s Young and the Restless Reunion

The second thing is that Nick may screw up things with Sharon. She and Nick were on their way to a reunion. They shared a couple of kisses and they talked about reuniting and it seemed to be that they agreed on it, but then nothing happened. It’s not even a slow burn for Sharon and Nick at this point. It’s a no burn. There’s not even a simmer of action happening between them.

It’s like Josh Griffith hates the idea of writing anything romantic for Nick and Sharon. Or maybe he just forgot. I don’t know how to explain the fact that he just abruptly dropped it. If Nick spirals into addiction, I think fans of him with Sharon may never get the real reunion they were hoping to see at last.

Now, I will say if Nick is struggling with addiction, I think that’s something Sharon can handle and help with. But if Nick gets too close to Phyllis, that could be a dealbreaker. I think Sharon would be absolutely disgusted if Nick tangled with Phyllis after what she’s done to his family.

Violence and Rage: The Dark Side of Nick Newman’s Hot Temper on Y&R

Over and above Nick being with Phyllis, if Nick’s not thinking clearly, he might fall in bed with random women. Maybe strangers, maybe chicks he meets while out looking for street drugs. I think that would be something Sharon couldn’t handle or tolerate. Another thing we could see if Nick falls into opioid addiction is he could turn really violent.

I mean, Victor’s son is already a hothead and Nick has a tendency to punch first and think about it later. So, he might get physical with Cane because he’s already eager to give him a beating. That could get him arrested. Nick might snap at Sharon. There’s no telling who Nick might let loose on.

I don’t think he would physically hurt Sharon, but he may throw things around and scare her. Even without pills in his system, I mean, we know Nick got a terrible temper. He’s been like that for years. So, I would expect more anger, more rage, and him maybe smacking some people around.

Nikki Newman and Jack Abbott: Confronting the Signs of Opioid Addiction

Another thing we might see is that if Nick’s getting hooked on painkillers, then Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) may be the first ones to notice the signs of addiction. But I think if either of them approached Nick, I think he would lash out at them.

Addicts always get defensive. They deny they have a problem. And Nick might spew ugly things at his mom, Nikki, and snark about her sobriety issues, making her paranoid. You know, addicts can get really mean and they say stuff they wouldn’t otherwise.

I think Jack in the end could end up saving Nick if it goes down this road because Jack’s been addicted to pills. So, he really understands the struggle. But I think Nick would have to be pushed to accept help.

Ruining the Brotherhood: Nick and Adam Newman’s Fragile Bond on Young and the Restless

The last thing to consider if Nick gets hooked on drugs is that he may ruin his newfound brotherly bond with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman). They’ve gotten really close recently, but before that, Nick and Adam had years of rivalry, and we all know that drugs bring out the absolute worst in people.

So, Nick might start being a real jerk to Adam. And I think he might figure out that Nick is struggling, and I think Adam might actually try to help, but I think Nick would just lash out at Adam and say, “Oh, you finally have all of Victor Newman’s attention.” That kind of thing.

I think Nick’s going to lash out at a lot of people. Addicts usually turn on people they love. And Nick’s already snapping at Sharon, at Noah, and at Sienna. He’s threatened to get physically violent with Cane. He was threatening Phyllis. And that’s before Nick touched illegal drugs. If he pops a fentanyl, I think from there, all bets are off.

Days of Our Lives fans, we’ve got some big shockers coming for Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson). Now that he’s out of the hospital, the family felt like he was ready to hear that his grandpa Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo)’s bones were the ones that they found in the crypt.

But there’s another huge secret lingering that’s been lingering for years. That’s the truth about the death of Theo’s mom, Lexie Carver (Renee Jones). We’re going to talk about why Theo’s been kept in the dark about his mom’s fate and how that is going to play into what’s ahead.

Theo Carver Leaves the Hospital Amidst Stefano DiMera Bone Discovery on Days of Our Lives

So, Theo’s finally out of University Hospital, but when Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) told EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) that it was Stefano’s bones in the crypt, Theo was still a patient. And he even said that the FBI made doubly sure they DNA matched those bones to both Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and EJ.

So they have all the certainty in the world those are Stefano’s bones. Chad was up at the hospital to see Theo, but he did not tell them about what the FBI found out. So, that left it to his dad, Abe Carver (James Reynolds), to tell Theo about Stefano’s bones.

And later, Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Abe both agreed that the truth about Stefano’s role in Lexie’s death would be just too much for Theo to hear at this point. But I think it’s going to come out anyway, especially since I’m increasingly certain that his mom, Lexie, is the lady in the test tube that Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton)’s about to revive.

The Complex Bond Between Stefano DiMera and Theo Carver on DOOL

So, Days of Our Lives history tells us that Stefano and Theo did have a really close relationship. Stefano never had any issue about Theo being neurodivergent. He treated him with love, with kindness, and master chess player Stefano even taught Theo the game and they played whenever they could.

And that’s why he still loves the game even now was because of Stefano. So on the flip of that, Lexie tried to shield Theo from the dark side of Stefano. And Lexie often struggled with her own DiMera heritage and she occasionally engaged in sketchy behavior while defending Stefano and the DiMera family.

So, in the end, what Lexie had was a complex and loving but also a very strained relationship with her dad Stefano. She was good for him. I will say that Lexie brought out the softer side of crime boss Stefano.

Revisiting Lexie Carver’s Tragic Death in the DiMera Tunnels on Days

And later in her life, Lexie faked her death and she went into hiding. But then Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) abducted her, if you remember your history. And from there, he stashed Lexie down in the toxic, fume-filled, infamous underground DiMera tunnels for many, many months.

And despite Andre snatching her, Lexie was eventually rescued and she was reunited with the family. But she had already been exposed to the toxins for way too long. And sadly, that’s why Theo’s mom developed inoperable brain tumors that took her life. If you were watching back then, you may recall that Stefano felt personally responsible.

He felt a lot of deep guilt about Lexie’s illness that finally took her life. And if it weren’t for all the DiMera family schemes and Andre’s actions, obviously Lexie would never have been down in the tunnels to be exposed to the toxic fumes. So while Stefano didn’t directly cause Lexie’s death, he did bring Andre into their lives and those were DiMera tunnels. So he had an indirect hand in it.

Lexie Carver’s Legacy and the Secret of Her Final Forgiveness on Days of Our Lives

And in the end, Stefano got Lexie’s forgiveness before she died. She told Stefano that she loved him. And then Lexie passed away peacefully in Abe’s arms. That was June 20th, 2012. She was just 46 and she left behind obviously her loving husband Abe and her young son Theo.

Lexie and Abe had conceived Theo after a long period of infertility issues. And if you were watching then, you know she was a devoted, loving, and fiercely protective mom. Lexie and Abe both advocated for their autistic son, and they always gave Theo the best life they could.

And then in Lexie’s final weeks of life, she spent as much precious and meaningful time as she could with Theo and Abe. And of course, losing his mother took a toll on young Theo. But Abe and everybody else in the family made sure to keep Lexie’s memory alive for him.

Is Dr. Wilhelm Rolf Reviving Lexie Carver in the Secret Test Tube?

All these hints about Dr. Rolf’s human test subject in the tube absolutely point to Lexie being back to the land of the living at long last. I suspect Stefano had Lexie frozen, kept her in cryostasis, and tasked EJ and Rolf to find a way to resurrect her and restore her to life since felt responsible for her death.

And that way, Theo could eventually have his mom back. But before Lexie is resurrected, assuming it is her in the tube, Theo may finally learn the ugly truth about his mom’s death and Stefano’s role in it. Now, recently, Abe and Paulina were talking about Stefano, Lexie, and Theo.

And Abe was wondering aloud if he should tell Theo the truth about Stefano’s indirect role in Lexie’s death. But Paulina shut that down and she said it could be really damaging for Theo to hear that. Basically, nothing productive could come of it and they should just let Theo keep the good memories of Stefano and his good memories of Lexie. And Abe agreed.

Abe and Paulina Struggle to Keep the Truth From Theo Carver on DOOL

But we all know from watching soap operas that if somebody works that hard to keep a secret hidden, that means it’s going to come out sooner or later and in this case many years later. So far, Theo’s extended family and friends have kept quiet because a lot of people know exactly why Lexie got sick and died. And Theo may find out the truth soon.

And you never know, he might hear it directly from Lexie if EJ and Dr. Rolf succeed in bringing her back from the dead. If you remember, Theo was just nine when he lost his mom and then later Days of Our Lives aged his character up. But at the time that Lexie passed, Theo was just an elementary school kid. So, I personally think it should be left to Lexie to explain how she got the tumor that killed her.

Stefano DiMera’s Memorial Could Reveal Explosive Family Secrets on Days

But with Stefano’s upcoming memorial, anything is possible. I don’t think anybody would say something deliberately to hurt Theo, but it could slip out of someone’s mouth in a careless way, especially if things get contentious at the memorial.

You know, it could be Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) that spills the beans because he despised Stefano and he pretty much is ready to dance on his grave. Also, this week, Chad’s trying to get EJ and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) to play nice.

So, one of them could blurt out something at the memorial while bickering about the family. One way or another, Theo is going to learn the hard facts about Stefano and the role he played in Lexie’s illness and death.

And it could be EJ who tells his nephew that Stefano wanted to make things right for Theo and explain that he and Dr. Rolf have been working to bring Lexie back for Theo for many years.

Will Lexie Carver’s Return Heal or Tear Apart the DiMera Family on Days of Our Lives?

So, I think he may be initially angry at the role that Stefano played in him losing Lexie, but then Theo might actually be grateful if EJ and Dr. Rolf revive her on Stefano’s orders after all these years. EJ really cared about Lexie and he seems to care for Theo as well.

So, this could be a big family bonding moment or could be something explosive that rips the DiMeras apart. I think we’re going to find out sooner rather than later because it’s February sweeps which wraps up on the 25th of this month. I suspect we could see Lexie revived by then.

How I Met Your Mother was a pop culture phenomenon during its nine-season run and in the years that followed.

How I Met Your Mother told leading man Ted Mosby’s (Josh Radnor) love story in reverse — ultimately leading up to the moment where he meets the mother of his children. Radnor starred alongside Alyson Hannigan (Lily Aldrin), Jason Segel (Marshall Eriksen), Neil Patrick Harris (Barney Stinson) and Cobie Smulders (Robin Scherbatsky).

The sitcom, which ran on CBS from 2005 to 2014, also featured the late bob Bob Saget narrating as a future version of Ted Mosby.

“Something about How I Met Your Mother was [that] it always upended your expectations,” Radnor told HuffPost Live in 2016. “It always made you cry, it always was not what you thought it was.”

Shortly after the show concluded, it was announced that a spinoff series titled How I Met Your Dad was in the works at CBS with Bays, Thomas and Emily Spivey. The project was ultimately scrapped, but a new version, with Hilary Duff in the lead role, debuted in January 2022. How I Met Your Father was canceled in 2023 after two seasons.

Scroll down to see where the original How I Met Your Mother cast is now:

Teen Mom 2 alum Kailyn Lowry has very specific stipulations when it comes to her eventual funeral.

“The last time I updated it officially was, like, 2021, so I needed to go through it [recently],” Lowry, 33, said of her living will on the Tuesday, February 3, episode of her “Karma & Chaos” podcast. “I’m going through it, and there’s a section listing the items that you would want to go to certain people and then there’s a section of your wishes.”

According to Lowry, the “wishes” section of her will now includes a “physical list of who’s not welcome” at her funeral.

“I joked about that in the past, but that’s real now,” she said. “It should hold up, if you pick the right person to execute [it].”

Lowry then revealed exactly who will not be allowed at her funeral, including exes Jo Rivera, Javi Marroquin and Chris Lopez, in addition to Jo’s former girlfriend Vee Rivera, Jo’s mom, Janet Rivera, Marroquin’s wife, Lauren Comeau, Lowry’s former nanny Natalie and her “oldest son.” Lowry, meanwhile, acknowledged that Lopez, 31, and Comeau, 34, likely “wouldn’t go” to the memorial in the first place.

“They are not welcome in any capacity,” she stated. “Those are the people who are not allowed. Do not even attempt to step foot in my funeral. That’s my list, and don’t f***ing show up.”

Lowry shares son Elliot, 16, with Jo, 33, as well as son Lincoln, 12, with ex-husband Marroquin, 33, and sons Lux, 8, and Creed, 5, with Lopez. The MTV alum later welcomed son Rio in 2022 and twins Verse and Valley in 2024 with Elijah Scott.

Lowry’s podcast cohost, Becky Hayter, subsequently questioned the validity of her pal’s decision if her death occurred relatively soon and the kids needed the support of their respective dads.

“I don’t care,” Lowry quipped. “Nope, nope, nope, nope. There are so many people in my life that could coordinate getting my kids where they needed to be, that there is absolutely no reason that their fathers need to be there. Elijah can come. There’s no reason for them to be there, [and] those people are not the people that I would want to support my kids in my death.”

Kailyn Lowry is a proud mom and loves showing life with her little ones on social media. The MTV personality became a mom in 2010 when she and her then-boyfriend, Jo Rivera, welcomed son Isaac. While the high school sweethearts split shortly after, the former couple continue to coparent. Rivera said during a November 2020 episode […]

She continued, “Yes, that’s their other parents, and I understand that, but the amount of animosity between all of us? They’re gonna have to hear it and support our kids in some capacity, but they’re not going to be their main source of support at that time.”

Lowry has previously been candid about her coparenting woes.

“[It] ebbs and flows,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of her dynamic with Marroquin, specifically. “Some days it’s really great. Other days, we hit some bumps in the road. I think being that we’re divorced and sort of still in the public eye, I think that we do the best we can.”

At the time, Lowry also revealed that her relationship with Jo is usually good — but “not every day.”

“[I’ve learned to] keep most of it off the internet,” she said. “It’s only been about two years since I’ve really, really honed in on that and actually stuck by that. It’s been, probably, the best thing that I could have done for my kids and my coparenting. For a little while it was, it was a little weird just because the older the child gets, the dynamic of coparenting shifts, so we don’t need to communicate every day.”

Bold and the Beautiful weekly spoilers for February 9th – 13th divulge Eric Forrester (John McCook) delivering a big shocker and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) exploding about something.

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 what’s ahead next week.

Deacon and Taylor Take Risks While Liam Discovers Eric’s Secret on Bold and the Beautiful

So, on Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). They’re playing with fire. The question is not will they get caught, but when will they get caught and by whom? Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is determined that this thing with them won’t happen, but yeah, it’s happening.

Over at Logan, looks like Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) finds out that Eric Forrester is Katie Logan (Heather Tom)’s lead designer and Liam may walk in on a design meeting or something. I suspect Liam will be shocked but will also be thrilled for Katie and he may tell Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).

Although, I’m sure that Liam is going to be warned to keep this a secret. I don’t know if he’ll be able to keep it from his wife. And if Liam does tell Hope, then she’ll be stuck secret keeping or betraying her aunt Katie and Eric to Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). That’s a tough position to be in. Donna Logan’s (Jennifer Gareis) already in that position.

Ridge Forrester Racked with Guilt Over Eric’s Ousting on B&B

Meanwhile, Ridge is racked with guilt on Wednesday. I wonder if having RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) back up at the office designing is going to have Ridge really missing Eric after forcing him out the door and essentially ejecting him out of Forrester, the company that he founded. I think Ridge absolutely should feel guilty.

Thursday, February 5th, we’ve got Taylor and Deacon enjoying more secret smooches even though Steffy threatened her mom. This is Taylor’s chance to have her destiny. And she is not going to let it go very easily, even though, of course, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and Steffy are going to be ongoing obstacles.

We’re also going to have more Ridge scenes on Thursday. And we’re going to have RJ up at work. I wonder how long until he asks Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) about her friend Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) that he met. And I thought that RJ and Dylan had really good chemistry, much better than RJ did with Electra, which to me just came off kind of low-key creepy.

I do suspect Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) may tell Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) or Electra what she saw. Clearly Dylan is not going to do what Ivy said. She’s not going to leave town because the actress is on contract and that means there’s another confrontation coming and some truth telling.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Sheila Carter’s Growing Suspicion and Eric’s Creative Masterpieces

Friday, February 6th, we’ve got Sheila, suspicious, but still has no clue that Deacon is betraying their marriage with Taylor and that Deacon has fallen in love with his therapist. But with Sheila’s husband continually disappearing to sneak off and smooch Taylor, obviously Sheila is going to get more and more suspicious. And then all heck is going to break loose.

Plus, Katie is floored when she sees all of Eric’s sketches. He is absolutely going to shock Katie because there’s a whole collection and it’s ready to put in production and the gowns are absolutely perfect. He is at the pinnacle of his creative path.

So, Katie’s going to see the designs and says it is exactly what she wants for Logan. Eric again reminds Katie that they have to keep all of this under wraps. Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is going to be just as impressed as Katie with all the sketches.

Bill is going to be completely cheering for Katie and Eric. I know that Bill’s super happy to have Eric on board as lead designer because he knows how bad it’s going to chafe Ridge when he finds out that his dad is over there working at Logan. But that is Ridge’s fault for ejecting Eric and forcing him into a retirement that he didn’t want.

B&B Spoilers: Steffy Drops a Nuclear Bombshell on Ridge About Taylor and Deacon

Plus, Steffy drops a nuclear bombshell on Ridge and tells her dad that Taylor has fallen for Deacon and that Taylor is insisting that she wants to be with him despite the Sheila risk.

Obviously, Ridge is going to lose his mind, but I think when Brooke finds out, she may be overjoyed because she’s been very vocal about wanting Taylor to find a destiny of her own and to be happy. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooke heads over to Taylor’s office to say, “This is great and you should go for it.”

The week of February 9th through the 13th, we’ve got Eric and Katie getting really busy. They have this whole collection. So, now they just need to take those sketches, get them into production, get the gowns made for Logan.

I am curious to see if there’s any chance we’re going to get a fashion show by the end of the month before February sweeps ends. If not, I feel like they may save it and do it in May sweeps because Bold and the Beautiful isn’t exactly known for moving at a rapid fire pace. So, we’ll see.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: The Forbidden Romance of Deacon and Taylor Continues

Deacon and Taylor are going to keep sneaking around like teenagers at this point. They do love each other. They took their time and they fell in love. Granted, he’s married and they did it behind his psychotic wife’s back, but I also think that part of what’s happening between them is it’s forbidden fruit.

So, they are kind of like teenagers. This is a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing where they’ve been told to stay away from each other. That’s just making it more enticing and more electric. And yeah, they’re going to get intimate sooner rather than later. That’s the vibe I’m feeling. They are absolutely going to keep creeping around behind Steffy and Sheila’s backs.

B&B Spoilers: Sheila Carter Turns Stalker as Deacon Ignores Her Texts

I believe Sheila is going to be stalking soon because Deacon is going to be disappearing. She was texting him when he was over at the Malibu house with Taylor and Deacon’s not answering her text. So, Sheila is not going to put up with this. She’s already on high alert.

Ridge may go and warn Deacon that he better stay away from Taylor or else. I don’t think that’s going to impress Deacon very much. Ridge may also go and tell Taylor she’s playing with fire and to stay away from Deacon. Sheila shot her once and the family lost her. But none of that’s going to work.

Brooke, on the other hand, may go see both of them and encourage it. If she does, I think Ridge and Steffy are both going to be annoyed with her. I’m looking forward to Hope and Brooke having a conversation about this soon.

Relationship Drama for Will, Electra, and the Mystery of Dylan

Will and Electra are going to start having issues with their relationship. I’m guessing this stems from her aunt Ivy kicking homeless Dylan back out onto the streets, bullying her. And forcing her to lie to Will and Electra by intimidating her basically.

I’ve seen a lot on soap social media. The jury is back on this and everybody agrees Ivy’s being awful. Side note, has anybody noticed that Ashleigh Brewer is in these really drapey shirts? I wonder if she might be pregnant. She got married at the end of the year. I’m not saying her body looks pregnant; I’m saying they have her in really drapey stuff, which is very strange because she’s historically always been in snug outfits.

Dylan’s not going to be leaving, so we’ll see how Ivy handles that and if she’s making more threats and maybe Will or Electra overhears. I’m also expecting sparks to fly with RJ.

Dylan Actress Shuts Down Rumors & a February Sweeps Wedding and Bachelorette Party Surprise on Bold and the Beautiful

Melissa Dylan said that Will, Electra, Dylan, and RJ are going to be a foursome with some drama. I also want to know when everybody’s going to stop calling her Miss Dylan. That’s her last name. By not giving her first name from the start, they’ve created this really weird situation.

The actress also said she’s not Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) 2.0. She’s not a lunatic or Luna in a mask with plastic surgery, despite a bunch of fan theories and some really sketchy stuff from some dodgy websites.

Steffy surprises Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) with a bachelorette party and we’re going to be getting a February sweeps wedding for Daphne and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). And then it’s on to baby making time.

Is Sky Bri Druski’s Lil’ Yeah, Yeah?

Folks online have their eyes on Druski, wondering if a new bae just entered the chat. The comedian popped out with OnlyFans model Sky Bri, and they looked a lil’ cozy. Videos caught them sitting next to Spike Lee at a New York Knicks game, then photos showed them posing together, giving very much date night vibes. As of now, neither Druski or Sky has spoken on their status, but social media swears a baewatch might be brewing. But still a few internet detectives think their lil’ pop out could also be a skit stunt, with some folks betting Druski’s about to drop a video any minute now.

Social Media Jumps In With Side-Eyes, Jokes, & HOT Takes

After The Shade Room dropped the video and photos of Druski and Sky Bri, the comment section went OFF. Some folks said they think Druski was just trolling. Others gave him props, calling Bri a baddie and saying they actually think they make a good match.

Instagram user @sonnydigital wrote, “New skit loadinggggg.” 

Instagram user @lala_camilla wrote, “They all have the same type! It must be something they be signing in Hollywood cause ain’t no way!” 

While Instagram user @ny.sante wrote, “Ngl .. this might b more his speed 😂 Shes beautiful too lol.”

From Rubi Rose To Sky Bri — The Tea On Druski’s Past Relationship

Before the internet had their eyes on Sky Bri, they were watching Rubi Rose heavy after her and Druski officially hard launched their relationship in April 2024. Videos and photos showed them on romantic yacht dates, tropical baecations, and even enjoying home cooked meals. But what fans thought would last didn’t — they called it quits in July 2024. Since then, they’ve been throwing lil’ jabs at each other online. Rubi ended up airing out their relationship on X (formerly Twitter) in September 2024, basically saying it was all a PR stunt, but Druski clapped back writing, “Never needed no PR” along with a laughing emoji.

As for where they stand now? Rubi made it clear she doesn’t want that old thang back. She told Kai Cenat and Kevin Hart during a stream with Druski in October 2025 that she didn’t miss him, but Dru think she only said that because she knew they were live.

Days of Our Lives spoilers for February 9th – 13th reveal Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) stuns somebody and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) is making a really big move.

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 what is coming next week.

Phillip Stuns Gabi on Days of Our Lives

On Wednesday, February 4th, we’ve got Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) absolutely stunned by Philip Kiriakis. He may have a big romantic surprise up his sleeve. But will Gabi ever admit how she spied on Titan for Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis)? Or is Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) going to drop that bomb to mess things up since he’s crushing on her?

Over in Alamainia, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) get new info. Rafe found that tablet in Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel)’s house in Alamainia, and Eli and Rafe are going to grill Vivian. I suspect she might have meant for them to find it because it wasn’t well hidden, and she knew they were going to search. She seemed unconcerned about them searching, so she’s going to tell Eli and Rafe a very convincing story about that.

Vivian Targets Dimitri on DOOL

Vivian may be throwing Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) under the bus as part of her scheme with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) to take him down because, as we know, Vivian Alamain hates the von Leuschners and Gwen, in particular, hates Dimitri.

Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) tells Abe Carver (James Reynolds) that he is so sorry. He had no idea that Theo was going to be kidnapped. Liam, according to him, thought he was prepping that crypt for some kind of doomsday crisis, like a bomb shelter, by stocking up on food and water. I’m not sure Liam Selejko’s telling the whole truth, though.

Gabi Hernandez Mourns Stefan DiMera and Drama at Bayview

On Thursday, February 5th, we’ve got Rafe and Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes) comforting Gabi. It looks like Rafe and Eli leave Alamainia convinced that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) really is dead. If they tested the remains, it looks like they got a DNA match.

Of course, Gabi told Philip that she was over Stefan, but being confronted with the truth of his death is going to be something else because that was her guy. That was her person, and they really got cheated by Vivian.

Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) are playing nice over at Bayview in front of Dr. Gregory. Sophia’s going to write Holly a much nicer note this time that doesn’t say she hates her. Everything seems less contentious. Sophia may be playing nice so that her minders at Bayview will relax their guard and she can escape again.

Rafe Grills Kristen on Days

Rafe circles back around to question Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). And I wonder if it’ll be about what they found out in Alamainia about the CCTV on the crypt or if it’s about her working with him to take down EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Maybe a little bit of both. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) needs Tate Black (Leo Howard)’s help to get through to Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), and this could be about steering clear of Sophia Choi,

or it could be about what happened with Rachel in the judge’s chambers. We may just get a play-by-play after the fact to find out what happened and if she’s been sentenced to an indefinite stay in Bayview. Obviously, Kristen was thinking she could just bring her home, but I don’t think it’s going to go that way because we know that Alice Halsey has her last episodes coming soon because she has left Days of Our Lives.

Stefano DiMera Memorial and EJ DiMera’s Rise to Power

Friday, February 6th, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) wants EJ and Kristen to just tap the brakes and stop their bickering so they can have some family unity for just a moment—long enough to bury their dad, Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo). I guess they’re going to inter ashes, and we’ll see if they put him back in the crypt or if they’re going to do something else with him.

Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), Chad, EJ, Kristen, and Theo are all definitely on the lock for Stefano DiMera’s memorial at the DiMera mansion. We may also see Gwen there, along with Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow), Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), and Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk). I know Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) is supposed to be back this week, so she may be there, or they may just show up for the after-party.

Obviously, the family’s not partying, but I know Roman is probably ready to throw a big after-party. He and Marlena have a moment this week that upsets Kate. We also have Abe stunned by a request from Theo. I wonder if this has anything to do with Liam or Stefano’s memorial. Does Theo actually invite Abe? That is the last place he’d want to be.

EJ the DiMera Patriarch on DOOL?

At the memorial, EJ says that despite Stefano’s flaws, he did love them all. EJ promises they will not let the House of DiMera fall. It looks like Stefano’s infamous Phoenix ring may be going on EJ’s finger as he takes his place as the patriarch, even though he’s not the oldest. I think he’s the oldest biological child who is in the country and not on the run from the law.

Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) gets a warning from Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens), and it may be to not let Stefano’s death make him vulnerable to EJ. Plus, he’s telling Johnny that he’s excited that Chanel is carrying a DiMera, but it sounds like those are fighting words because Johnny says he already has a son who’s a DiMera. It would seem strange for EJ to not count Tate as a real DiMera when he considers Tony a brother and Kristen his sister.

Valentine’s Day Romance and Shocking Decisions in Salem

The week of February 9th through the 13th, we are deep into February sweeps. We’re going to see Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) soon decide something surprising about their nuptials. They put out the press release that they were going to elope, but it sounds like in the midst of all this drama with her stalker, Stephanie and Alex decide that they don’t want to wait. There’s no time like the present.

Speaking of romance, Brady and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) decide it’s game on. They’re going to be together and they’re going to date despite Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) not being happy and despite the Kristen and Rachel issues they know will come with this.

Gabi & Philip Head to Miami on Days of Our Lives

Gabi and Philip are going to be heading to Miami. That may be what Philip stunned Gabi with—a surprise getaway for Valentine’s Day. Speaking of V-Day, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) are celebrating their wedding anniversary. They’ve been married a few times, like a good soap couple.

Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) are still in Salem; they’re going to be reminiscing and romancing. Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) and Abe Carver celebrate Valentine’s Day, but this may be their last good time since Lexie Carver (Renee Jones) may be back from the dead soon, which could put a nail in the coffin of Paulina and Abe’s marriage.

Ari gets a kiss from hunky bad boy Liam soon, and I’m guessing that Gabi is really going to hate that. Doug Williams III was enough of a bad boy, but Liam seems worse. He has the extra baggage of the dead ex, the single dad stuff, and then he’s a criminal—an illiterate criminal. His reading is getting better, though, so at least Abe’s got that sorted out for him.

February Sweeps: The Stalker Strikes and Vivian Alamain’s Next Scheme

We’re also going to find out more about whether Vivian faked out Eli and Rafe with different remains. She might have had Jake DiMera (Jake Lambert)’s remains put in that coffin because, as twins, they would have both tested the same. We only have three episodes of Vivian and then we’re going to have her off-screen with one-sided phone calls with Gwen on the Dimitri scheme.

EJ’s having a struggle. There are just a lot of things going on in his life, and that makes him very vulnerable for Cat to swoop in, get close, try to get info, and plant a kiss on him. Watch for Stephanie, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu), Alex,  and Steve to launch their plan to trap the stalker, but he’s way ahead of them. Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is going to snatch Stephanie from the hospital, and I expect that’s coming during February sweeps.
