NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers update for April 17th, 2020 indicate that it looks like Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) will have some demons to battle. Evan Frears/Christian Maddox (Brock Kelly) showed up and wouldn’t leave little David Ridgeway (Caleb and Kyler Ends) alone, so Ben first instinct was to lunge at him and grab him by the throat. Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) will beg him to let go of Evan for fear that he could get locked up again. After what happened the last time Ben was in lock-up she can’t stand to lose him again, and I don’t think you could be pulled off death-row a second time, Ben. That’d just be unrealistic. Thankfully, Ben will realize that this is not really the guy he wants to be and he’ll let go but it’ll be a close call for a second there. Geeze!
NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers for April 17: Orpheus plays a game of chicken with Rafe
Meanwhile, Evan’s life is not the only one who’s in danger. It looks like Orpheus (George DelHoyo) will do what he’s best at and taunt a cop. Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) will find him all sprawled out on his couch at home and he’ll draw his gun. But Orpheus will tell him that it’s not worth shooting him and will tell him that they have something more important to focus on besides a shootout, and that is custody of little David Ridgeway. Since Orpheus legally has his freedom, he will want his Evan to be able to raise his own son. Rafe however will disagree because he loves little David and was all set to adopt him before those two blew into town, he considers him his own son now. This will cause a clash between him and Grandpa Orpheus because there’s no way they can come to an agreement on that. Rafe will probably threaten to have Orpheus thrown in jail again for breaking and entering, but it looks like for now Orpheus will continue to be on the outside. More’s the pity. Ah well.
NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers for April 17: Marlena is unsettled by Orpheus’s freedom
Poor Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) will be frightened to learn of Orpheus’s release, and hubby John Black (Drake Hogestyn) will be loathe to give her the news because he doesn’t want to scare her but she needs to know. Not to worry though, John, as always, will vow to keep his beloved Doc safe. Marlena’s safety and happiness is his first priority in life and let’s face it, Orpheus is no Stefano DiMera, so I think John may actually have this covered.
NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers for April 17: Justin and Steve challenge each other to a duel and Jenn runs out of her daily platitude allowance
Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) will throw down the gauntlet to Steve “Patch” Johnson (Steven Nichols) and tell him that there is no way that he’s giving up Dr. Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) without a fight, but it looks like it won’t be much of a fight because next week Patch is going to give up and let Kayla be happy with Justin. Poor Kayla is torn between two lovers though, as she will tell Jennifer Deveraux (Melissa Reeves). Jennifer is going to spout a lot of platitudes and tell her to let her heart be her guide because that’s what people do when they don’t really know what to say. And then later Jenn will run into Justin at Doug’s Place and tell him that no matter the outcome, he is a good man and that Kayla’s happiness is the priority here and that’s a lot of platitudes for one day Jenn, geeze! We’ll see how this ends… stay tuned!!!
