Major developments to expect on Days of Our Lives from December 23 to 27

1) Ava's pleas to Steve

While the rest of Salem gears up to celebrate the Christmas holidays on Days of Our Lives, viewers will see Ava Vitali stuck in a situation where she needs help. She will be shown turning to Steve Johnson and confiding in him about her troubles. While viewers are yet to figure out what the situation is, they will see how Steve reacts to it.

Steve and Ava's combined history might resurface, especially regarding his involvement with Kayla Brady. Fans will see how Steve assesses the situation and chooses to help Ava out, given that this decision will also have consequences in his personal life. Additionally, fans will know which issue Ava is referring to.


2) Marlene Johnson's heartfelt confession

While the characters of Days of Our Lives are all in a joyful mood, looking forward to the holiday season, Marlene Evans' confession to Brady Black will be sad and painful. This week, Marlene will confess to Brady about how difficult her life has been without John Black. Her vulnerability during a time meant for families to be together will depict how hard it has been for her.

Brady's patience and his support towards Marlene will help her deal with her emotions during this difficult time. While their friendship will be shown to grow in depth and strengthen, they will also be seen sharing a mutual concern for John's well-being. John Black's absence in Marlene's life affects her greatly and creates a void that she cannot seem to fill, and these feelings haunt her, especially during the holiday season.


3) Eli and Lani's return to Salem

Eli Grant and Lani Prince will be shown to return to Salem on Days of Our Lives right on time for the Christmas festivities. They will also be seen celebrating their twins Jules and Carver's birthdays. In addition, they all will be shown to gather at Abe Carver and Paulina Price's house to commemorate the festivities.

Their gathering will showcase how the Christmas spirit engulfs Salem throughout this week. While their gathering is a happy one, spoilers suggest there might be certain underlying tensions that will add a dramatic element to the storyline. Despite that, their family and friendship bonds will triumph over their complications.
