Days of our Lives spoilers for Thursday, August 22, offer EJ the opportunity to introduce himself to Abigail for the second time. And then pre-empt whatever anyone else might tell her about him.
Second First Impression
Abigail (AnnaLynn McCord) and EJ have a history. They had an affair — in all sorts of sordid places — while he was married to Sami (Alison Sweeney). Since then, they’ve mostly snarked at each other. And then she died. And now she’s back. (Though that phone call suggests all is not as it seems.)
Except she doesn’t remember anything. Not Chad (Billy Flynn). Not her kids. Not her parents. Not Stefan (Brandon Barash). And not EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). We all know EJ can turn on the charm when he needs to. And he may just decide he needs to. To get Abigail on his side. For a reason to be announced later.
Meanwhile, Chad is down in the grumpy dumps that his wife can’t recall how awesome he is. Or even who he is. What he needs is a Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) pep talk!
Love, Love Me Do
When Chad introduced Abigail to Stefan, he didn’t fill her in on their history, either. Stefan was grateful. But he has his own problems. Gabi (Cherie Jimenez — who had a little luck) found out that Stefan slept with Ava (Tamara Braun) while she was in prison.
And she doesn’t want to hear his excuses. Either about that or the lies he told to cover up that. Stefan decides to keep talking anyway. He’s convinced he can change Gabi’s mind and get their marriage back on track.
Risk Taker
Gabi found out about Stefan and Ava from Connie (Julie Dove), who seems to have a finger in every Salem storyline pie. Now that she’s set Gabi, Stefan, and Ava at each other’s throats, she’s got some loose ends to tie up in the Li (Remington Hoffman) and EverBob (Blake Berris) murders, not to mention Rafe’s (Galen Gering) stabbing. And that includes taking Melinda (Tina Huang) out of the picture. For good.
