This is not the first time the newest network television soap opera on the block has aired a week’s worth of encore presentations.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Jacob Martinez Debuts as Javi Hernandez First Look Photos

Published

By

Next week on all-new episodes of Days of Our Lives, Jacob Martinez makes his highly-anticipated debut as Javi Hernandez replacing Al Calderon in the role.

Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming episodes on Peacock, Martinez has already been with the show for quite awhile and now viewers will see just what will happen between exes, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Javi, and Javi and his current boyfriend, Gus (Michael Ocampo).

Look for Martinez to make his debut on the Tuesday June 30 where in official Days of Our Lives spoilers, viewers should look for a clash between Leo and Javi where they agree to avoid one another. However, then on the Wednesday, July 1 episode, Gus questions Javi. Is it about his feelings for Leo or something else?

THE NEW JAVI HERNANDEZ

In his first week on-screen Martinez will also share the screen also with Cherie Jimenez (Gabi) and Josh Taylor (Roman).

Martinez expressed on his DAYS journey thus far to OUT.com, “The truth is, Javi is the kind of character I wish I could have looked up to on television as a kid. Getting the chance to hopefully be that inspiration for another kid somewhere in a small town makes it all worthwhile.”

He added, “Being Hispanic, gay, and an emergency medical technician definitely helped me draw from real-life experiences when I got the role. But after reading the first few scripts, it became clear to me what truly drives this character: his heart. Javi is the type of person who constantly puts others before himself — not only on the job, but in his personal life as well.”

So, now we can officially welcome Jacob to Salem! And let us know if you are looking forward to his debut next week on all-new episodes of DAYS, plus if you are rooting for Leo and Javi … or Gus and Javi, via the comment section. But first, check out the latest promo for the action next week on DAYS below.

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, the race is on! Can Lulu (Alexa Havins) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) get to Rocco (Finn Carr) and Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) in time to ensure their safety from Cullum (Andrew Hawkes)?

These questions may be answered, plus the return of the one and only Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) are on tap!

In the just released General Hospital spoilers video for the week of June 22-26, Lulu tells her mother, Laura (Genie Francis), “Dante and I have to get to Rocco before Cullum!” Meanwhile, Rocco (Finn Carr) looks angered and emotional as Britt walks through their cabin hideout. Does Rocco know his parents are on the way to find them, or has Cullum already tracked them down to the British Virgin Islands?

Back in Port Charles, Carly is informing Lucas that his niece, “is a WSB agent.” She knows Josslyn (Eden McCoy) is being held against her will at Wyndemere, and she has to find a way to get her out. Lucas agrees with Carly’s plan of, “We go in and we don’t leave without Josslyn!” Elsewhere, Josslyn is looking worried for her future as she is stuck in captivity thanks to Cassius, Cullum and Sidwell!
