Days of Our Lives sees May sweeps are here. And there is devastation coming to Salem as John Black (Drake Hogestyn)’s death is confirmed. And we’ve also got Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) set for heartbreak among other big action coming in sweeps. Let’s look ahead together at what we are hoping to see in the 15 episodes left in May sweeps and what action’s going down on Days.

Bo Brady’s Miracle Cure: Days of Our Lives May Sweeps Spoilers

So, first off, let’s talk about Bo Brady (Peter Reckell). He needs a miracle right now quite desperately and he’s going to get it. After Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) shot him, Bo, fell into a coma where he has been for two years. In fact, last week was the unfortunate anniversary of when Shawn shot his dad, April 24th, 2023.

And now Bo is dying of sepsis because he got an infection from his ventilator and it’s killing him. But Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans)’s got a guy on staff, Dr. Russell, doing research into an amazing new sepsis drug.

So Kayla’s going to talk to Dr. Russell, but he has to refuse because he legally can’t let her have the drug even though Bo is dying, even though he wants to be compassionate. It’s not in human trials as she told Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols).

Days of Our Lives: Hometown Homecoming

So Shawn won’t let it go and he’s going to pitch to Steve that they do some crime and they steal that cure for his dad. And sounds like a plan. Once they get the serum for Bo, the shock of the infection and the infusion of this experimental medication should be what pulls him out of his coma.

Fancy Face Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) and her hubby Bo, enjoy a big homecoming to Salem soon, possibly before the end of sweeps. We’ve heard they’re coming in May at the very latest, early June.

Johnny DiMera’s Daddy Issues and Adoption Drama on Days

Next, let’s talk about Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and his daddy issues. After finding out what EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) did to Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney), we’re seeing Johnny having a crisis of conscience about impending fatherhood.

He’s got double deep daddy issues, actually issues with his own daddy EJ and now issues with the idea of being a daddy himself to Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd)’s baby that he and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) were planning to adopt.

Days of Our Lives: Sweeps Swings and Turning Points

Johnny just feels dirty inside because of his rape origins, but May sweeps could be a turning point for him. First one and then back the other. After breaking Chanel’s heart by saying he just can’t do this adoption thing, Johnny going to find himself at the Salem Inn all alone in a room.

And Tate finds Johnny there. And then Tate punches him in the face. He’s furious at Johnny for pulling this move and disappointing him and Sophia whose college hopes and everything were hinging on this.

So maybe it takes Tate kicking his butt and it knocks some sense into Johnny. I do expect we’re going to see him relent during May sweeps and apologize to Chanel and agree to the adoption.

Who Shot EJ DiMera? Rachel Black and Kristen’s Confession Revealed

All right, our third big plot for May we want to talk about is who shot EJ. Well, it could be that the shooter is revealed but doesn’t go to prison, but the shooter’s mother Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) does.

So Johnny brought a gun to the mansion, Roman Brady (Josh Taylor)’s gun, and threatened to kill EJ for coercing his mom Sami into sex and really for ruining Johnny’s life now that he’s found out about it.

So that happened the same day EJ was shot and he’s going to remember that pretty soon. But like our leaker said, looks like Johnny couldn’t pull the trigger, left the gun, and stormed out. Then little Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) picked it up and put a bullet in her wicked uncle EJ, if our leaker is correct.

Days of Our Lives: Leaks and Insider Info

I do feel pretty good about the leak, by the way, because I got chastised for publishing that information by the Days of Our Lives press office. So, there’s that. May sweeps should be when we see EJ’s would-be killer revealed, but little Rachel will probably get away with it if indeed it is her.

My leaker also told me that Kristen confesses to protect her daughter Rachel and EJ may force her hand since Kristen keeps threatening him. And a behind-the-scenes photo of the DiMera siblings, Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), EJ, Kristen, and Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) from a few months back show her in Statesville Prison blues.

And by the way, there’s this sketchy website who listened to my video and decided to write an article and say it was their leak that came to them. So, if you’ve seen that website, I just want you to know that they’re liars.

Days of Our Lives Sweeps: More DiMera Drama

Anyway, however, let’s talk about it. Let’s be real. Assuming that it is Rachel obviously Kristen can do the time even if she didn’t do the crime. She’s no stranger to Statesville. She’s been there before. She did fine.

And EJ may hold his sister’s feet to the fire to make it happen, to put Kristen behind bars. Maybe he’s going to forget that promise to Belle that he’s a new man and he wants to be better and he’s going to just go right back to being a diabolical DiMera as usual.

John Black’s Shocking Death and Emotional Funeral on Days of Our Lives

All right, now let’s talk about the shocking and sad ending to John Black on Days of Our Lives. In case you don’t know, we’ve got his funeral coming in June. That is when Carrie Brady, Sami Brady, Will Horton (Chandler Massey), recast Ariana Horton, and a lot of other people are coming back to Salem.

Everyone’s gathering to say goodbye to John Black and it’s a very emotional sendoff kind of retroactively for Drake Hogestyn because we’re all seeing this knowing that Drake has passed away, but he was still alive when they filmed all this.

Days of Our Lives: John Black’s Fate

So, yeah, it’s kind of it watch the look on the actor’s faces. This isn’t easy, you know, and it’s quite likely that Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) reports back to Marlena and Steve by the end of Sweeps that John is indeed dead. And of course, he’ll have to tell his fiance Paul Narita (Christopher Sean) first, who may be with Andrew, when he finds out that John is dead.

And Paul will be devastated to lose his father John, as well as John’s other daughter and son being crushed, Belle and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). But also look for John’s death to be a bit mysterious and open-ended because they wrote it hoping Drake would recover and come back to Days and they would get to revive his character John.

Sarah Horton’s Secret Exposed: Xander’s Heartbreak on Days

All right, the last storyline for Sweeps we want to talk about is Sarah and that dirty little secret she’s keeping from Xander Cook (Paul Telfer). Let’s face it, Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) has been extremely fortunate that no one has busted her out for conspiring with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) to keep the forgery hidden from Xander.

And let’s be real, Philip first off, could have thrown Sarah under the bus to diffuse some of the anger coming his way from his brother Xander. And of course, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) is sick of all the lies, as is Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). So either of them could have ratted Sarah out, but they didn’t do it.

And now, of course, Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) knows and she’s furious, not so much at Sarah, but at Philip. And we all know how much Maggie loves Xander. He’s like a son and son-in-law to Maggie all rolled into one big Scottish package. And speaking of big Scottish packages, Xander is probably going to be withholding his from Sarah once he finds out about her big fat lie.

Days of Our Lives: Xander Gets the Truth?

This week, Maggie tears into Philip for his betrayal and deceit. And that could be how Xander finds out that Sarah knew. For a big guy, Xander is also a sneaky little eavesdropper. One way or another, it seems like May sweeps is when Sarah’s life falls apart and Xander finds out she’s been lying to him for a long time.

We may see Sarah’s heartbreak because it seems pretty likely that Xander is going to dump her and move out because I doubt he would kick out Sarah since her mom Maggie is the matriarch of the mansion. So, he’ll probably go.

Hopefully, Xander cools down and comes home after he thinks things over and specifically all the things that Sarah has forgiven him for. And that’s key. But Xander and Sarah life is going to implode soon. And Sarah got no one to blame but herself. Although, to be fair, she can blame Philip because I mean, heck, I would.
