‘Days of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers reveal that Lani Price (Sal Stowers) did as told and broke off her wedding to Eli Grant (Lamon Archey). This led to huge drama for the guests. It also broke poor Eli’s heart. But did it have to happen? Here’s what you need to know.
‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers: Troubled bunch
We all know that things have been rough lately. Lani accidently shot Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) while trying to stop Vivian Alamain (Robin Strasser) from escaping. It led to bitterness for Gabi DiMera (Camila Banus) and a desire for revenge.

‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers: Perfect plan?
Gabi DiMera later devised a very evil and poetic revenge. She decided that since Lani put a hole in Stefan’s heart, Gabi was going to make Lani break Eli’s. It was obviously met with resistance from Lani. She saw no motivation to do something like that. Gabi begged to disagree.
‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers: Blackmail
To make sure that this wedding wouldn’t happen, Gabi used a bargaining chip. She turned her donation of a heart Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) into a weapon. If Lani didn’t play ball, she was going to make Julie’s heart explode.
Obviously, hearing this was shocking and distressing to Lani. To give her some credit, she tried to tell Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) what was going on. It failed, because Gabi was ready for that. Gabi made it clear that any attempt to take out the rigged pace maker would result in trouble. Gabi’s app of death also will alert her to these things, allowing her to act first.
Another effort was compromise. She recently begged Gabi to let her at least break things off in private. She pointed out that Eli is a friend and an innocent in this. Hurting him in front of all those people would be unfair. Gabi didn’t give any you-know-whats. In the Monday, November 4th episode, Lani finally gave in and did the deed. But there was a possible other option.
‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers: Missed opportunity
In that same episode, Lani and Eli stood at the altar, ready to say “I do.” Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) gave them each a chance to speak. Lani uses the opportunity to apologize again for what happened and beg Gabi to let go of her hate. Gabi plays stupid, of course, and claims all is well. Lani obviously knows better, because Gabi makes a couple of veiled references to her app of death.
This is when Lani could have possibly ended all this. If she’d just yelled out, “Gabi’s going to kill Julie!” she might have neutralized this situation. Anything happening to Julie now would basically destroy Gabi’s life. She’d be taken from her child again and her revenge against Lani would be ruined. It would also prevent future problems. If Lani thinks that this is the end of the threat to Julie, she’s wrong. We can see Gabi holding this over Lani’s head for a long time.
