Between You and Me

Double your pleasure, double your fun, and enjoy two Rafes (Galen Gering) for 2025 instead of just one. Except EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) isn’t enjoying having Arnold hanging around his house in his robe, making claims on his money.

And neither is Rafe when the two come face to face. Is there room enough in Salem for both of them? Should there be?

Parenting Fails

Brady (Eric Martsolf) already suspects he and Theresa (Emily O’Brien) didn’t exactly hit it out of the ballpark raising Tate (Leo Howard). The kid did jail time before he graduated high school—though that was all Holly’s (Ashley Puzemis) fault. It still doesn’t say much for Tate’s judgment, either.

Now Brady is about to get another reminder that he might have stumbled a bit as a dad when Ava (Tamara Braun) lets Brady know what Tate has been up to with Sophia (Madelyn Kientz). At the same time, Sophia’s mom, Amy (Shi Ne Nielsen), has some choice words directly for Tate about his intentions toward her daughter. And since Holly has a unique knack for making other people’s problems all about herself, she’s the one who ends up most upset about it. Good thing Doug III (Payton Meyer) is there to tell her how wonderful she is when the rest of Salem isn’t available.

Power Struggle

Paulina (Jackée Harry) thinks she runs Salem, and EJ believes he should. They are never going to agree, but they are happy to fight over it. EJ currently thinks he has the upper hand, and he’s happy to let Paulina know without actually letting her know.
