Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers preview for the week of December 27-31 teases that captive Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) will have an ultimatum for Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo) – and Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) faces Kristen DiMera (Eileen Davidson) temptation.
John Black (Drake Hogestyn) was finally able to gain control of possessed Marlena thanks to the medal that Gabriel (Mark Colson) provided, but the battle’s far from over.
Marlena has been restrained at the townhouse, but the devil’s still inside her – and he’s got a few more tricks up his sleeve!
Eric Brady’s (Greg Vaughan) work in the Congo led to some soul-searching, especially since his marriage to Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) fell apart.
After everything that happened, Eric decided to become a priest once again.
The timing of this return to the priesthood couldn’t be better, but Eric will face a sense of déjà vu soon enough. Longtime Days fans may recall how Kristen once drugged Eric and hit the sheets with him.
Kristen made a secret recording of their night together, which was a case of rape since Eric was too out of it to consent to anything.
That recording was played on a big screen at St Luke’s, where Kristen’s wedding to Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) blew up.
Eric was wrongfully thrown out of the priesthood over that mess, so it makes sense for the devil to use it against him now.
“Just give in, Eric. No one will ever know,” Eileen Davidson’s Kristen says in DOOL’s weekly preview video.
The devil will obviously transform into Davidson’s version of Kristen to tempt Eric and distract him from what matters most – which is getting Marlena back to her old self.
Of course, Eric won’t be led astray for plenty of reasons. He’ll focus on the task at hand, but he’ll need some help for the exorcism that’s looming.
Eric will gather everyone and insist they need to work together as a family. He’ll contend that it’s the only hope they have of saving Marlena’s soul.
John, Eric, Brady, Sami Brady DiMera (Alison Sweeney), Belle Brady (Martha Madison), Allie Horton (Lindsay Arnold) and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) will all be part of the exorcism effort.
At one point, Marlena will try to convince Lucas to undo her restraints by delivering an ultimatum. She’ll threaten to spill the truth about Lucas kidnapping Sami if he doesn’t untie her, but Days spoilers say Lucas won’t cave in on setting the devil free.
Once the exorcism drama is in full swing, wind gusts will blow through the bedroom. Marlena will bounce around until the devil is cast out, so she’ll indeed be saved by the power of her family’s love.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say Marlena’s exorcism scenes should bring some exciting stuff, so stay tuned to DOOL!
