In the Tuesday, May 27 episode of Days of Our Lives, Javi decided to apply to the Salem Fire Department. Doug asked Leo for help tracking down Julie’s necklace. Ari, Tate, and Johnny found out about an injured John. And two mother-daughter clashes heated up Salem.

Clash #1: Gabi and Ari in Horton Town Square

At first, we thought Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) was overreacting. But in the end, Ari (Marissa Reyes) stayed out all night and didn’t answer any texts or calls from her mother. When Gabi did catch up to her daughter, Ari fed her mom lies, deflections, and some attitude of her own. Clearly, Ari feels resentful towards Gabi, and it will be good to get to the heart of their conflict in the coming weeks and months.

JJ (Casey Moss) had to play the reluctant middleman, and with a little of his help, Gabi calmed down.

JJ Deveraux is in a new romance on Days and his real life portrayer, Casey Moss is just as lucky in love. The soap actor married his former Days of our Lives coworker True O’Brien over the weekend in a romantic ceremony.

Days of our Lives has had several serial killers in Salem, from The Salem Strangler of the ’80s to the soap’s latest, Killer Connie. Let’s take a look back at some of the best serial killer storylines throughout the years.

Salem’s Serial Killers

Days has had six major serial killers over the past six decades, starting with The Salem Strangler in 1982, who killed three women while harboring an obsession with Marlena (Deidre Hall). He was followed by Andre (ex-Thaao Penghlis) as The Salem Slasher in 1993 and Jack’s (ex-Matthew Ashford) stepfather as The Riverfront Knifer in 1987.

Salem didn’t see any more serial killing until the early 2000s when The Salem Stalker arose for a murder mystery that ended with a major twist. Next came The Necktie Killer, who offed several beloved Salemites in 2015, followed by Salem’s newest crazy killer, Connie.

The Salem Slasher...

The spoilers for Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-27-20 boasts not one, but two old characters making a return.

These are guaranteed to be blink-and-you-missed-them visits, but still. 

According to the official Days of Our Lives spoiler video, Paige appears to her grieving mother.

You're alive!

Eve Permalink: You're alive! Added: August 23, 2020

Sadly, Paige hasn't been resurrected. Eve simply has a vision.

Hopefully, Paige is there to inform her mother to knock it off. If written in character, she wouldn't want the kind of "justice" that Eve is doling out.

But there are no guarantees. After all, the last cameo appearance True O'Brien made back in 2017 was during a Halloween fantasy where Paige was resurrected as a violent murderer who killed JJ and Lani!

In addition to Paige's all-too-brief appearance, the spoiler video features Jake doubting Gabi's attraction to him,...
