DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Gabi’s Revenge Plot Begins To Unfold; Watch Out Abigail and Stefan!
Evil Gabi is back on Days of our Lives, and that means some great material for Camila Banus (Gabi) to sink her teeth into. After all, who doesn’t love a Gabi scorned?! This week, viewers already learned that Gabi has already switched the paternity results to make it look as if Stefan (Tyler Christopher) is the father of Abigail’s (Marci Miller) unborn child, when it is really Chad’s (Billy Flynn). To top it off, she is manipulating and “advising” Gabi on what to do about her paternity secret
On Tuesday’s episode while in the park, Gabi reflects on changing the paternity results and says out loud to herself: “Karma is a bitch. Since you and Stefan ruined my life …” but she stops talking when all of a sudden Stefan appears. He wants to talk about “Gabi Chic”, and their mutual business interests, but she’s not having it one bit!
She blasts him and his fictitious girlfriend “Gabby” for framing her for murder, and all that has transpired in her life since then including: being beaten up in prison, which has left her unable to have any more children, due to a surgery and an infection she developed while in the slammer for a crime she did not commit.
Gabi says she is not like her ‘Madre.” She believes in revenge and that people like him deserve to be punished, and that she wants to see him suffer like she has. Stefan is hoping that Gabi will eventually trust him, put the past behind them, and work together. Stefan exits and once alone, a vengeful Gabi says: “You and your little whore, Gabby, took something from me that’s precious. Now it’s my turn to take something from you.”
Then to put an exclamation point on her revenge plot, Gabi grins that “all hell will break loose.”
Are you glad to see Gabi back with an edge as she plans to make Abigail and Stefan’s life a living hell? What do you think will be the next move in her master plot? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
The ignorance is beginning to infiltrate Salem.
Drugs were planted in JJ’s apartment. Who ‘done’ it? Duh!?!? If Everyone is soooo adamant in believing neither JJ nor Theresa did it….if Brady doing such an act of cowardice ( Ha!) is out of character…..who’s left? Victor wants Brady and Theresa together….process of elimination. No one thought of Eve? She and Miss Jenny were arch enemies. Will it take Jennifer to ‘snake’ her out? Think, Jenny, think!!
Everyone in Salem seems to have a short memory. Hello? Eve was and still is EVIL.
Who stabs her own sister in the back? Fighting for her man? Well, if I were a man, I would not want a woman with such a dirty heart and tactics.
Then, there’s Gabi. Really? I want to be hopeful….cheery….but, please, please—-no torturous Chad/Abigail/Stefan plotline……I just noticed that Tyler looks old enough to be Marci’s father. Ugh!! Gross!!
Call me crazy but I just don’t see Gabi as evil. Getting her edge back? Absolutely. But evil? No That said although I love her I don’t like what she’s doing right now. I get it. She’s angry, she’s damaged and totally fed up. I don’t blame her one bit for wanting some payback I just wish she wasn’t doing it this way. One thing her monologue yesterday showed me that she lost her bearings and isn’t thinking clearly. I do think she needs some help and hope she realizes it soon rather than later.
As for Camila I think she’s rocking it. I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed that come Daytime Emmy time next year she gets some attention.
Hi, Troy,
Unlike yourself, I never really liked Gabi.
She has always had an evil streak—-especially toward Abbi. She had set her cap for Chad as soon as she came to town, as it were.
The PTB chose to ‘fluctuate’ this girl hither and yon….not exactly making up their minds as to where her place was.
The end result was one ridiculous incident/situation after another.
What you see is the true Gabi. She did not lose her bearings. She just needed a push. Gabi was, more or less, ‘purified’ for a bit—-but, those tiny little mean imps in her head are baa-aack!!
Those pure of heart, never sway….sure, they balk and wail, but remain basically good…..with no intention of causing anyone else harm.
The writers play with these characters’ psyche and personae waaay too much—-to the point where the plots are not taken seriously any longer.
Hi Celia.
Thank you for your response. All I can really say is that’s now how I say is I respectfully disagree.
Great answer, Troy, LOL. Very respectful!! Appreciate the humor.
Pasquale. A very noble and sainted name. Did you know the name is derivative of Pasqua? …..translates to Easter.. I bet you already knew that. LOL.
Ciao.
Actually I didn’t that. LOL That’s very interesting.
❤️
Well said..let’s not forget what she did to Melanie..hmm that was over Chad..I don’t like this story line however..it’s too much like old baby drama story..the baby switch has been played too many times..
Right, PAMD….and the baby swtch will be a usable convenience over and over…..never-ending-story. LOL.
I loves me some evil Gabi! Of course her next move will be to learn when and where Abby is planning to terminate her pregnancy and then “accidentally” tell Stefan that Abby is about to abort his child so he can stop the procedure.
Of course she will do exactly that, Alan! Gabi will bide her time….skulk and wait…then pounce like the tigress.
Camila is killing it, albeit I am not into Gabi’s machinations.
I’m sure glad Camilla decided to stay another year—Gabi is my favorite character on DAYS.
Why cant Gabi just seem to understand that it was not Abby’s fault she had another personality ?.I am shocked to hear it is Chads baby.Makes no sense to me at all,or did I read it wrong? I mean it would have made more sense for it to be Stefan’s baby because there would be more of a story there. I dont know what to think but if looks could kill ouch,
She going after chad
Gotta say, I really appreciated Guy Wilson’s portrayal of Will where he frequently sneered at and talked down to Gabi.
It’s interesting how the exact same sequence of words could sound nice coming from one actor, but were delivered like a (delightful) backhanded slap from another.
July 24th episode: Tripp entering a room, carrying a tray of French Fries. What’s not to like?
That boy could melt a chocolate bar at 10 paces.
Greetings Days of Our Lives fans! I want to preface this by saying I have been watching Days of Our Lives for 45 years I started out at 6 years old I was home ill and my grandmother was an avid Days of Our Lives fan. I am also a psychiatrist, and I really feel that they are doing the Mental Health Community, people with multiple personality disorders, people with mental disability with the storyline of Abigail. Now you have changed the character of Gabby into and what was amazing actress sweet and kind and that is abundantly clear in her performance, her ability to understand and forgive Abigail’s mental health issues was wonderful until you threw in now, evil Gabby full of vengeance and actually using Abigail’s mental health issues to play into her plan. Again as a psychiatrist this does such a disservice to people with MPD and or bipolar disorder and or schizophrenia.
And then well adding insult to injury Abigail of course is pregnant and again you’re portraying a woman who is mentally ill and what was a kind woman and friend not only taking advantage of her mental health issues but by doing a complete 180 with the character. I mustad for the first time in 45 years I have stopped watching the show my reasons for not watching it is specifically because of this storyline with Abigail and Gabby I really believe that the mental health community doesn’t need this out there many years ago Kimberly Donovan Shane’s wife had mental illness and they portrayed it accurately and beautifully I’m just, horribly saddened by the path that two producers have chosen to go with this and until something changes I know I speak for myself but I can also speak for my office staff who basically I have now gotten them all watching Days of Our Lives, we effectively are tuned out. Thank you for 45 wonderful years, but I cannot sit back and watch the character of Abigail who is accurately portraying somebody with multiple personality disorders be forced into a psychotic break, because in real life that would have happened. I would like to add that the character Gabby, Abigail, Stefan and Chad are all wonderful young actors and have done a very good job of portraying the spouse of somebody with mental illness, the friend of somebody with mental illness, and the portrayal of a woman tormented with it. I would ask that the storyline be changed because simply the stress of a pregnancy with multiple personality disorder patients, but then adding in triggers such as the issue of paternity can actually lead too a patient committing suicide. And I don’t believe that Days of Our Lives would want to be tackling that issue. With respect, from North Florida, dr. Lynn Vitale
Hi, Lynn,
Our stories sound sort of similar…..I’ve watched Days and many other soaps since I was in diapers with my grandmother. That would be in the late 80’s.
I certainly appreciate your informative precis on mental health…..Abigail has not been given a fair shake on all counts by the writers. It seems to me TPTB have used Abby’s mental health issues to prop Stefan and Gabi.
However, Gabi’s ‘sweetness’ was never real, per se…..under the surface….under all that sugar, Gabi was always duplicitous.
As PAMD mentioned, Melanie and Chad ( not Flynn at the time) were an item. Gabi did her best to break them up.
Then Chad and Abby became involved and Gabi repeated the scheming and has not stopped, as we can see.
So, Gabi, as far as I am concerned, has mental issues of a different kind. Never liked her!!
I think Days writers think us fans are gullible st best! Everyone knows test results we get are NOT it!!! We get copies and for this to be going on this long makes me as a fan feel frustrated and cheated! Why has not someone maybe Kayla discovered this and also evil Gabi stinks! I am talking about Abby and Chad and their baby!
Just saying!
I absolutely hate the storyline and Gabby, I fast forward through the scenes because it’s unbearable to watch
I want her to get caught up with cause what shes doing is wrong Abby doesnt deserve this she was ill when gabby went to jail so its wrong
I ready hope Gabi get caught because that is wrong that innocent baby is involved and I hope chaff hate her forever for taking him away from bonding with his baby and family and I hope she go to jail and spend the rest of her life in jail and lose her daughter for good .
Cannot wait until all of this blow up in Gabby’s and kate’s face they deserve each other they both belongs in jail for all the stuff that they have done nothing but Natural Born murderers
And I hope this time when she go to jail for drugging Abby while she is pregnant for the rest of her life even hope she loose her life in there this time I hate gabby with a passion
I hate the Gabby story line ! I fastforward Do the writers think we are stupid with all this people not catching on! End this story line already

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.

Jacob Martinez is ‘Days of Our Lives’ New Javi Hernandez Replacing Al Calderon in the Role
Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.
As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.
Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.
Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”
Jacob Martinez appeared on Friday on the Days of our Lives Instagram account announcing his casting. You can check it out below. Deadline was the first to report the casting switch.
