‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers indicate that Leo is more than just a little interested by Xander’s shirtless goodness, but does Xander swing that way? Of course, we know that Leo is very persistent so it remains to be seen if he’ll get what he wants…
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Wednesday, January 9 Recap – Leo Wants Some Xander
Welcome to Wednesday in Salem, where people’s lives are falling apart. Well, okay, it’s like almost any other day in Salem. Missed the action and need some Days of Our Lives spoilers for today? No worries, because we’ve got your Days of Our Lives recap ready to go…
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Time to face the music.
So, you may remember a little while back that Claire Brady (Olivia Rose Keegan) had worked out a scheme with Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) to break up Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) and Tripp Dalton (Lucas Adams). It seems that so far, the scheme has worked. She and Tripp have gotten closer, and we know that Ciara and Ben are a thing now.

Well, sort of. Can’t forget that whole snag over him kidnapping Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) on the orders of Stefan DiMera (Tyler Christopher). As their story begins, Claire is trying to get Tripp to take a selfie with her because hot guys get more likes Really? Has she checked the stats for Bikini influencers lately? Anyway, she also claims her fans are just dying to see the person that gave her that awesome cell phone case for Christmas. Personally, we think it’s just an excuse, but who knows, right?

Ciara comes in, clearly still upset about the situation with Ben. They try to get her to talk, but all she’ll tell them is he’s working for Stefan and he’d asked Ben to do something she’s not happy about. She retreats to her room and Tripp leaves to get the latest on Steve Johnson (Stephen Nicols) from Roman Brady (Josh Taylor). This leaves Claire alone to call and leave Ben a very stern message, ordering him to fix things now before their deal gets ruined for her.
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Ben In Ciara’s Doghouse
Obviously, Ciara has to choose that moment to walk in the room and overhear that. She demands to know the truth, or she and Claire are done as friends. Claire admits to the breakup scheme, while leaving out certain crucial details. Like that it was her idea. Like she was the one doing almost everything.
Oh, and let’s not forget the part where Ben ditched her and refused to have any further part in it. For someone that doesn’t want her thing with Tripp to get blown, she’s sure doing a good job. Ciara is furious, and as the Soap Gods would have it, Ben arrives at just that moment to talk. Ciara is obviously very interested in speaking right now, and poor Ben has no idea the doghouse he’s just managed to crawl into. Good luck to ya…

‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Interview time.
Speaking of Ben and the employment issue, it seems like there is no need for Ben to resign, as Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) is now in charge of the company and the house. Ben now works for him, and Chad has decided Ben is fired. Ben tries to convince him that he’d be a great asset, and this would be a great chance for him to prove that he’s changed.
Chad is doubtful, but gives him a job interview anyway, where you get the sense this is only somewhat serious on Chad’s part. Chad concludes that it would be nearly impossible to get Abigail Deveraux (Kate Mansi) to take him back if he’s got Ben working there, so he says he’ll cut him a check for two weeks, but he’s got to be out of the house by tomorrow.
It seems the only way that Chad might be convinced to give him a job is if he lets Ciara go. Chad is worried that being mixed up with Ben might limit her own opportunities in town. After Ben leaves, Chad calls JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) to ask for help in getting Abigail back.
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: The truth still hurts.
Speaking of JJ, he delivers some harsh truths to Gabi when he comes across her. Gabi had tried, gotta give her credit, but JJ is not buying that she was truly sorry or her talk about him being her conscience. If that were true, she would have stopped what she was doing a long time ago. He ends up leaving her devastated and alone after making it clear that he can’t trust her anymore. Will Horton (Chandler Massey) just happens to come across her, and she throws herself into his arms, sobbing.
‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: The triangle from hell gets more complicated.
The most entertaining plot of the day has to do with Will, Sonny Kiriakis (Freddie Smith), and Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart). It also involves Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston) and Xander Cook (who prefers Kiriakis, thank you very much, and is played by Paul Telfer). It seems that Leo has never met Xander before, and definitely likes what he sees.
While he had warned Sonny earlier about going behind his back with Will after overhearing them talking on the phone, it seems that rule doesn’t apply to him. He’s more than willing to get in a little hot tub action with the cousin-in-law, and we finally feel sorry for Xander. Why? Well, because Leo comes on to him after overhearing Victor refusing to install him as CEO without seeing the rest of what he’s got.

Knowing Chad has taken over just makes Victor less interested in striking any deals. Leo thinks he can help them both get what the want, and all he wants is a little private time with Xander. The uncomfortable looks on Xander’s face are priceless and pity-worthy. We’ll see how it all works out.
As a side note to this plot, Will and Sonny once more put the universal balance in jeopardy by executing a successful plotting session at the park by the square. Will’s going to dig into Leo’s mom, who Sonny believes is his Achilles Heel, to see if they can finally make him go away. Can they do it? I guess we’ll find out.
