Major developments to expect on Days of Our Lives from December 30 to January 3
1) Johnny and Chanel's confrontation
In the upcoming episodes of Days of Our Lives, Chanel and Johnny will be shown throwing a New Year's party at the DiMera's mansion. In the middle of the party, Johnny has a conversation with Joy where she confesses to him that she has been feeling guilty regarding the time they spent together intimately.
Chanel would be seen overhearing this conversation inadvertently and being shocked at this revelation as she was in the dark regarding Johnny's infidelity.
After this, Chanel will be seen confronting Johnny in front of all the others present at the party. She would express her hurt at his disloyalty and at her being blindsided. The DiMeras family would also be seen getting involved. Spoilers suggest this argument would affect their marriage but viewers are yet to see what happens to the couple.
2) Rafe's lookalike causes trouble in Salem
Rafe's lookalike, Arnold Feniger, returned to Salem in the latest episodes of Days of Our Lives. EJ DiMera would be seen trying to uncover and unravel Arnold's intentions behind his return. Previously as well, Arnold had come to Salem in the disguise of Rafe's character during a DiMera scheme.
Jada would be seen being the first person to potentially understand that it was Arnold and not Rafe as she noticed visible differences in his mannerisms which raised her suspicions. Arnold's comeback will also cause significant emotional turmoil to Rafe's near and dear ones like Jada and Gabi, who will be seen desperately trying to unravel the truth.
3) Tate and Sophia's pregnancy secret revealed
Previously on Days of Our Lives, Sophia was seen finding out about her unexpected pregnancy with Tate being the father. Sophia revealed the news to Tate and he had promised to take care of her, in whatever they decide. In the upcoming episodes, the couple will be shown dealing with the consequences of Sophia's mother finding out.
The couple had considered keeping the news private and between themselves until they figured out their plan of action. Sophia's mother would unexpectedly find out and reprimand Tate. The news of the pregnancy would spread quickly in Salem and could potentially harm Tate and Holly's relationship.
