DAYS OF OUR LIVES: A Bombshell Is Dropped On JJ!
Courtesy/NBC
This week on Days of our Lives, Gabi’s (Camila Banus) trial begins in the murder of Andre DiMera.
And as any soap fan knows, when you say “trial”, “courtroom”, or “witness stand”, someone is going to reveal a major secret that they have been trying to keep under wraps!
Well, secret one is gonna drop right on poor unsuspecting JJ (Casey Moss)! In the latest DAYS promo from NBC, Lani (Sal Stowers) admits on the stand that she slept with Eli (Lamon Archey)! This is cause for JJ to loose his cool and punch out Eli.
Will JJ then finally learn that Lani is carrying Eli’s child, and not his?
Watch the promo after the jump and then weigh-in: Who do you want Lani to ultimately end up with? JJ, Eli, or neither guy and she should just be a single mom? Comment below!

Good!!! Lani deserves everything that is about to hit her. I feel horrible for JJ, he deserves sooo much better than Lani.
Thank you, Karen….I’ve always been somewhat reticent saying something negative about Lani—-which is sooo not like me. I neither like the character nor dislike her…..she’s not necessary to the show, in my opinion.
I guess TPTB wanted to keep Abe within a family circle, after Lexi’s death?…..and, Theo is gone!!
I can’t say I feel sorry for Lani’s comeuppance.
ok…but when can we have some lighter moments…while the show is mostly good and holds my interest there is still too much gloom and doom!!!!
I guess the marriage is off. LOL
Neither guy should be saddled with her lying self.
Make her live with Julie, that’s the worst punishment imaginable.
Bwah hah ha ha ha! TRUTH!!!
That would be so funny. She would nag Lani’s ear off.
Wait until Julie finds out that Abigail is the one who killed Andre!!!! All her trash talking about Gabi and Gabi is innocent.
I do love Julie.
Frankly I do not care about Lani. My thought is she might lose the baby, which is never okay, but then Lani could leave town and never come back. They need to bring somebody on that has chemistry with Casey Moss. He deserves it!
Loni is a cheater and.a.liar and deserves to be alone …
Why would this subject even come up at Gabi’s trial?
If Andre’s murder had occurred the same night that Lani cheated, it might be necessary to mention it, as Gabi being with JJ would give her an alibi.
But this was two completely separate and unrelated events. How does Justin think this is going to help Gabi’s case (assuming this must be some legal strategy to bring it up at all in court)
LoL I was thinking the same thing –
I think it comes up cause Justin is asking why Lani went hard after Gabi when Gabi was talking about the evidence that was planted on her. Justin wanted to know why Lani had it out for her.
Jj is too cute for her!
Agreed. I’d be okay with JJ giving up on women for good. Time for some episodes with JJ hanging out with Jesse Kristofferson at “The Spot.” JJ would be quite popular at “Unicorn Highway” (“the new gay club near the University…”). It’s a good thing that he turned in his service pistol, as his suicidal tendencies are likely to recur once he discover that The Baby (his reason for renewed hope in living) isn’t his. Hopefully Tripp will be on-hand to catch JJ when he jumps off the ledge. (I seem to remember JJ’s father also falling off the stairs… Read more »
I’m sure that cousins Sonny and Will would be willing to teach JJ the finer points of Beer Pong.
Great news! If JJ does find out the baby is Eli’s I’d imagine that’s when Lani would miscarry. If JJ, like Gabi, does not find out Eli is the father that info won’t come out til the baby needs a blood transfusion (the typical soap different baby daddy story standard)
Days continues to deliver!!!
DAYS delivers daring daytime drama and now has surpassed B&B in a couple demos in the ratings!
I think J.J., Eli, Gabi and Lani have shared enough of each other. Time for them to meet new love interests.
I’m a little behind in watching DOOL, but I can’t imagine how asking Lani who she slept with has anything to do with the murder investigation. Can’t wait to see what led up to this.
I was thinking maybe to show that Lani has it out for Gabi. Maybe Gabi told Justin about Lani sleeping with Eli. It’s the only reason I could think of, but I guess we’ll find out!
I feel bad for Lani, giving her this storyline was cruel and uncalled for. The haters love it, though. Typical.
I feel bad for JJ.I wonder if this will push him over the edge.First it is Abby now him,maybe.
I feel bad for JJ, and like Liam on B&B, his constant gushing and fawning is not only annoying but makes the story more frustrating to watch. However, I do feel bad for Lani. She was very supportive of JJ when he accidentally shot Theo (she didn’t blame him) for a devastating situation like her father and Eli did and I do believe she’s hiding the truth from him now with good intentions. He DID try to commit suicide; she’s obviously concerned how the truth might effect him. As for cheating? I can totally understand why she thought he and… Read more »
This would really be a bombshell and it doesn’t concern JJ.Off topic here Stephan sleeps with Abby- Gabby and she gets pregnant.Now wouldn’t that shock everyone.I think Marci looks better with black hair and I am not the only one who thinks this way.My best friend does too.

‘Days of our Lives’ to Honor James Reynolds’ 40th Anniversary as Abe Carver with Special Episode
As DAYS viewers witnessed on Friday’s episode, Abe has been shot in the park, after Carmine pulls out a gun, and Jake (Brandon Barash) tries to apprehend him. Jake rushes to Abe’s side and calls an ambulance and he is rushed to University Hospital. Once there, Abe eventually flatlines, while Lani (Sal Stowers), Paulina (Jackee Harry) and Eli (Lamon Archey) are besides themselves with worry.
This sets the stage for Monday’s episode where Abe will go into the light, as Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) works to save his light and while he hovers between life and death, DAYS fans are treated to the special 40th anniversary episode of James Reynolds as Salem’s Abe Carver. The Daytime Emmy-winning actor, (he won Lead Actor in 2018) began his Salem journey when he first aired back on October 29th, 1981.

Reynolds told SOD on the Lexie appearance, “The young actress they brought in to be part of this was just wonderful“n giving the essence of (their) relationship and communicated beautifully, just beautifully, in her face and her eyes, as Renee did quite so often.” He added, “I was kind of transported, actually.”

In addition, James continues to be the the longest-running black actor in the same role in television history.

DAYS Head Scribe, Ron Carlivati, Shares On Marlena’s Possession 2.0: “We Decided John Needs To Get On To This Sooner Than He Did In The Original, Because That’s What The Audience Would Expect”
As viewers of NBC’s Days of our Lives are watching the revisiting of the classic possession storyline revisited with its 2021 version 2.0, the stage is being set for plenty of devilish drama, now that good doc, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is once again in the grips of evil.
We have already seen her with yellow eyes, conjuring up some demonic plans, and of course, the devil trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Marlena’s husband, John Black (Drake Hogestyn).

Back in the 1994/95 version of this storyline, Father John emerged and exorcised the demon from Marlena, so he knows a thing or two about being possessed, and the horrors it caused to Marlena, and the town of Salem 25 years ago, and as we have seen John is very, very concerned about all this talk of Marlena being possessed by the devil from the script that Johnny (Carson Boatman) is set to make into a film on Sami’s life story.
Current Days of our Lives head writer, Ron Carlivati, spoke with Soap Opera Digest in their latest issue on newsstands now, about his plans and the creation of the 2021 possession storyline. Ron revealed that John is not going to be in the dark for long, sharing: “John has been through this, so the devil isn’t going to be able to pull the wool over his eyes the way he did the first time.”
Carlivati also added: “Even though all soap opera stories, I would argue, depend on some characters being a little bit dumb, in this case, we decided John needs to get on to this sooner than he did in the original because that’s what they audience would expect. Look for the story to move along at a pretty good clip. We are not rushing, anything by any means – we are having so much fun with the story, but it was important to us that John not look stupid here so he starts to suspect something is wrong with her pretty soon.”
So, are you glad that John will not be completely dumped? Will Father John return to save the day? Are you enjoying the story thus far? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
Then, check out our recent interview with Ron all about the creation of DAYS limited-series, Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem still streaming on Peacock.
