Sami decides it is time for her to face how she really feels about EJ.  Abby continues to be torn up with guilt. She starts to worry the affair that she had with EJ and  She wants to know if Will had something to do with Nick’s disappearance.

J.J. comes up with a plan to get Theresa off his back. He manages to pull Beverly into it. He’d better act fast because  Theresa has momentarily set her sights on Brady. He is upset about Eric & Nicole (more on that below) and also about his own bad behavior, so he gets totally drunk, leaving Theresa to take advantage of him.

Rory’s big brother tapes Theresa as she tries to cash the  check with a fake ID. JJ blackmails her. She storms off.

Nicole blurts out her own feelings to Eric so what will he choose – the priesthood or the woman he loves?

Dan is able to find Eric and Nicole! He rescues both of them – but who will be the one to rescue Nicole emotionally? Things go from bad to worse for Brady, who  decides to split town… and runs into Dr. Chyka at the airport.

A handsome lawyer named Aiden Jennings enters the mix and he will have contact with Hope. Naturally they begin with a run-in! The Nick mystery deepens … Julie pushes for Hope to investigate.

After much soul searching, Sami finally has an answer for EJ. It’s ‘Yes’!
Abigail actually thinks EJ murdered Nick! Being Abigail, she lets him know it too …- EJ is exasperated.

Family and friends gather to celebrate Arianna’s christening, which ends with a shocking turn of events. Is Gabi planning to leave Salem, or will someone unexpectedly show up?

Dan and Nicole will go on the hunt for Dr. Chyka and will confront him once and for all. It doesn’t look good for ‘Dr. Evil’; Stefano gives one of his men orders to axe the man before he squeals.

John Black will return for a visit to Salem sometime in February, and it looks like he and Marlena will leave town for a long while.

Updates:

The character of Eric Brady will exit Salem to ponder his future.

Nick Fallon (surprisingly) returns, and exacts revenge by getting Kate, Gabi and Sami to do his bidding. Does this mean Gabi will leave Salem?

Days is searching for 5-year-old twin blue-eyed girls to play the new Sydney. Currently she is being played by Nadia and Talia Hartounian.
