Days of our Lives Predictions: Kristen’s Emotional Confession Saves Rachel in Dramatic Twist

Days of Our Lives weekly prediction edition talks about Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) confessing to save Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) and other goings on in Salem.
I’ve got predictions for Kristen and Rachel, for Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) and Xander Cook (Paul Telfer), for Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), for Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and Belle Black (Martha Madison), and also for Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Tate Black (Leo Howard). Let’s dive right in.
Kristen DiMera’s Confession to Protect Rachel Black: Days of Our Lives Spoilers and Predictions
Our very first prediction, Kristen confesses to save Rachel. So, in recent episodes, Johnny DiMera’s (Carson Boatman) trial is rocking on and little Rachel has been bracing herself to get on the stand and testify. She is understandably nervous. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) tried to ease her mind last week with a fun-filled daddy and daughter movie date, but she’s still on edge.
This week, Rachel takes the stand, and Kristen comforts her daughter when Rachel worries that Johnny will go to prison because of her. Tuesday spoilers say Brady and Kristen worry about Rachel. And in Thursday Days spoilers, Rachel is acting out in a way that shocks Kristen. Also this week, Rachel and Kristen run into Dr. Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) outside of the pub.

Days of Our Lives: Kristen Takes the Stand
Our leaker told us months ago, back in February, that Rachel shot EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and that Kristen is going to be heading to Statesville to take the rap for her wicked little kid. Kristen is on the stand this week. And if she knows by then that Rachel shot EJ, you know, Kristen might confess if she thinks it’s all going to come out.
Rachel also takes the stand this week. She saw Johnny holding a gun on EJ but didn’t see Johnny firing. I do wonder if Rachel’s mind has blocked out that she shot her uncle EJ after the confrontation. The shooting may have been an accident or something else entirely because Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) is all woo woo about Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) back from the dead. So, who’s to say that Rachel wasn’t possessed when she shot him? I mean, it’s Salem.
Kristen will do anything to protect her only child. She may sacrifice her freedom to protect her daughter and keep Rachel out of juvie. Brady’s been busy trying to help Rachel during this time. And of course, Brady would put his life on the line for his kids. But in this case, there’s not much he can do. But if Kristen’s willing to go down for what Rachel did, I’m sure EJ will let her do it.
Xander Cook Shuts Down Gwen Rizczech: Days of Our Lives Relationship Drama and Spoilers
Our second prediction, Xander shuts Gwen down hard. So recently on Days, Gwen and Xander had a hot moment when they were drunk and Gwen nearly got Xander back into her bed at the Salem Inn. But at the last minute, he zipped it up and walked out. Since then, he’s made it perfectly clear he does not want to get back into any kind of thing, much less a relationship with Gwen.
This week’s spoilers tell us that Sarah’s jaw drops as Gwen tells her that Xander is moving on with her. And then Thursday Days spoilers have Xander on the defensive while talking with Sarah. Obviously, Gwen would get back with Xander in a heartbeat, but he shut Gwen down once already.
Gwen’s not Getting Xander’s Message on Days
Unless Xander changes his mind and really does want Gwen back in his life, he needs to shut her down harder and do it with all caps this time so she gets the message loud and clear. Xander and Sarah still love each other even though they are legally separated. So, when Xander hears from Sarah what Gwen was saying, he may lay into her for lying to Sarah, saying he’s moving on with her.
Of course, this might be really hard for Sarah to hear about Xander right after seeing him kiss Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). She may think, “Oh, wow. He’s just, you know, doing everybody in town.” Our leaker said that Xander and Sarah are going to find their way back to each other again, but it’s going to take some time. It’s going to be a rough road and it’s going to be closer to the holidays.
Chad DiMera and Cat Greene’s Growing Romance Amidst Illness: Days of Our Lives Spoilers
Our third prediction, Chad gets strep and Cat returns the favor. On Days of Our Lives last week, Cat and Chad were stuck overnight in an elevator and they almost kissed. Later, Chad bumped into Cat at the hospital. He found out Felicity Greene (Kennedy Garcia) has strep throat and then Chad took Cat home and noticed her fever and symptoms. Looks like she has got it as well.
Chad was really sweet and he took care of Cat, which turned into a passionate kiss, which isn’t what you should be doing with someone who’s infected. She’s worried Chad’s going to catch it. Looks like it’s too late. Spoilers for Monday have Chad continuing to take care of sick Cat, but spoilers for Wednesday say Chad needs her to return the favor and Cat is there for Chad.
Cat Getting Closer to Chad on Days of Our Lives
Cat and Chad have been getting closer over the past few months. They could be in a relationship by this fall. Chad told Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) to mind her business when it comes to Cat. It looks like he has forgiven her for posing as Abigail Deveraux (AnnaLynne McCord), and he thinks Julie should let it go, too. But I don’t think Julie’s going to like Cat helping Chad through an illness.
He may quarantine at Cat’s apartment to keep the kids and Julie and JJ Deveraux from catching the nasty bug. We’ll see. Once Julie hears that Cat had strep first, she may figure out pretty quickly that Chad was up close and personal with Cat for him to get infected.

Marlena’s Deception and Hypnosis Sessions: Unraveling the EJ DiMera Shooting Mystery
Our fourth prediction, Marlena lies to Belle. We saw Belle encouraging EJ to get hypnosis, but he couldn’t see the person’s face no matter how hard Marlena tried to help him. Since then, he got even more desperate and he threw Belle under the bus trying to get a mistrial.
Will Marlena find out more about the shooter and lie to Belle? Spoilers for Monday say Belle talks to Marlena, probably about Belle telling EJ she hates him. Marlena gets a new patient and I wonder if it’s little Rachel. Maybe Brady wants Marlena to use hypnosis to calm Rachel’s nerves before court.
Tuesday spoilers confirm that EJ goes back for another hypno session. Whatever comes out of it must be big because spoilers for Wednesday have EJ hitting Marlena with a subpoena for her to testify in Johnny’s case. Thursday spoilers see Marlena offering Belle a new theory. In the promo, Belle’s asking Marlena if she knows who shot EJ.
Will Marlena Tell the truth?
But I just wonder if Marlena is going to be honest. Obviously, Belle’s mad at EJ, but if she finds out Rachel shot him, she’s going to bring it to court. Marlena may be hoping reasonable doubt will save Johnny. And if she finds out Rachel’s the shooter, she may try and cover for her.
Marlena already knows Rachel probably needs therapy, but going to juvie isn’t the best way. Marlena has had a lot of loss in her life already. I wonder if Marlena figures out Rachel shot EJ and tells Kristen the truth, and that’s why she confesses on the stand. Marlena may lie to Belle, but I doubt she would lie on the witness stand.
Sophia Choi’s Schemes to Steal Tate Black: Days of Our Lives Summer Drama and Predictions
Our fifth and final prediction, Sophia’s plotting to steal Tate. Sophia right now is stressing because of all of her lies about the baby and the adoption. On Wednesday, she sees Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate kissing and tells Arianna Horton (Marissa Reyes) that nothing’s turning out the way that she thought. Friday spoilers have Sophia trying to comfort Tate. In the summer promo, Sophia is there when Holly’s asleep.
She’s kind of adjusting her clothes and showing off her bra and taking some naughty pictures while Holly’s sleeping. Sophia made a massive mistake by lying to Tate about their son. In the past, we have seen Sophia play dirty games to try and get Holly away from Tate. I doubt Sophia listens to Ari when she tells her just forget him.
This photo thing that Sophia does may be to make Holly look bad so Tate will dump Holly and come running back to Sophia for comfort. It’s pretty sketchy that she’s taking pictures of Holly when she’s out of it, though. But given all the other things that Sophia has done, who’s to say what she’s capable of and not capable of doing, right?
