Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for March 23-27 indicate that one actress will depart the show and pave the way for a recast to take over. There’ll also be some possessive exes

and some love-related shockers in Salem, so let’s dive in. For starters, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) will be uneasy after witnessing the trauma bond that Stephanie Kiriakis (Abigail Klein)

and Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) created while they were being held captive by Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey). That experience brought Jeremy and Stephanie together,

so Alex may worry about his new wife falling for her former flame again. However, Stephanie may ultimately assure Alex that he’s the one she wants, even if she’ll always be grateful for how Jeremy stepped up for her in captivity.

Other Days spoilers say Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) will deceive Arianna “Ari” Horton (Marissa Reyes) somehow, so he’ll either be trying to protect her or himself!

Ari will eventually share some positive developments about the case Liam’s tangled up in and could perhaps plant another kiss on him.

Look for Marissa Reyes to have her final DOOL scenes as Ari on March 25, but Ari won’t be leaving Salem since a recast is on the way.

Next, Days spoilers say Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) will let it slip that he loves Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), so she’ll process that news and admits she loves him, too.

The closer Gabi gets to Philip, the more devastating it’s going to be when he learns she helped destroy the Titan-DiMera merger.

Gabi has been lying to Phillip all this time, so things are going to get ugly once the truth inevitably comes out.

Across town, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) will clash with Gwen von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien) while Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) puts EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) on full blast elsewhere.

Once Holly Jonas’ (Ashley Puzemis) blood test results show she’s got antipsychotic meds in her system, Tate Black (Leo Howard) will help her figure out that the skincare vitamins are to blame.

Of course, Tate and Holly may also determine that Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) switched her own meds for the harmless supplement to send Holly off the rails.

As for Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote), she’ll have a disastrous hearing and may end up having to go back to Bayview or even a juvenile delinquent center.

Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) will be outraged over Judge Dabney’s (Karole Foreman) decision, but she’ll save some fury for Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and hold her responsible on some level.

Next, JJ DiMera (Casey Moss) will confide in Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) about thinking back to his mistake and freezing up when he should’ve taken the shot at Klaus Muller (Bassel Alzaro).

Since JJ’s been so worried about not making another blunder like the one he made with Theo, he went too far in the opposite direction and caused Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) to pay the price.

Shawn will thankfully make a full recovery following his gunshot wound, but he’ll need some help as his leg heals.

Belle Black (Martha Madison) expects to live with Shawn and take care of him, but Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) will invite Shawn to move in with her instead.

Although Belle and Shawn have moved on following their split, Belle may still feel a little jealous over Jada doting on him.

Days spoilers say Judge Dabney will have another case to tackle since Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) need to finalize Trey DiMera’s adoption.

Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) will help Sophia prepare to make a plea to Judge Daphne and perhaps finally prove she can still speak.

Sophia will think her baby boy deserves better parents and should spell out all the reasons why.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say Sophia may be in for a rude awakening when her Holly pill sabotage catches up with her
