‘Days of Our Lives (DOOL)’ spoilers reveal a big family secret came out on August 16th with the arrival of Olivia Price (Marla Gibbs). Let’s take a look at the 227 reunion, as well as what it means for the characters and more. This is shaping up to be a big one, so get ready.
NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: The reunion
First, we have to say this reunion lived up to expectations. Marla Gibbs hasn’t lost a beat, and she really entertained us as pushy mom Olivia. However, Jackée Harry (Paulina Price) more than held her own against her former sitcom co-star. We loved seeing these two together again and playing such strong-willed characters.
We also thought it was a nice touch when Paulina started off being very meek and mild with momma. However, once Olivia started lecturing about broken promises, all bets were off. Paulina stood up for herself and put it all out there on the table. And from what they ended up revealing, this is probably a talk they should have had a long time ago.
NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: The reveal
So, Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate Paulina was Lani Price’s (Sal Stowers) favorite aunt. Unfortunately, the lavish gifts would come with a dose of disappointment. We saw Lani talk about how one incident in particular really got to her. A trip overseas never happened, leaving young Lani embarrassed before her friends. But more importantly, disappointed at what she saw as a chance to have experiences and make memories with her aunt.
In Monday’s episode, we saw why that trip didn’t happen. During Olivia and Paulina’s confrontation, we learned Paulina is actually Lani’s mother. So, we can pretty much conclude that Tamara Price () knew about the trip, despite what Lani believed. It would make sense. One would speak with the “parent” before taking a kid out of the country. The fact Paulina never showed up combined with this new info tells us that Tamara objected.
She didn’t want Lani to spend such a long period of time with Paulina, as it might expose the truth. So, she ordered Paulina away. Or mom did. In either case, we don’t think Paulina’s habit of disappearing is her fault. It also explains why she was so intent on helping with the twins’ college. They’re her grandchildren and she never got to be there for her own child.
NBC ‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: What’s next?
That leads us to think about what’s ahead. This new information says to us that Abe Carver (James Reynolds) isn’t really Lani’s father. So, we’re sure when the truth inevitably comes out, he’ll be crushed and angry. Not to mention the turmoil Lani will feel. We can also imagine what an adjustment it will be for her and Chanel DuPree (Raven Bowens) to adjust to being half-sisters. But we think one thing will affect Lani the most.
A little bit back, Paulina confided in Abe. She told him about a man who was controlling and abusive. Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate this was the source of her quest for wealth. She never wanted to be in a position of dependence on a man again.
And we have a feeling the story was shared because he is actually Lani’s father. This being the case would be the only thing we see bringing her and Paulina together. She’ll be furious with Paulina for the lie, but we think once she knows everything, she’ll eventually come around. Likely, Paulina did what she did for Lani’s well-being and safety. And that’s something we can commend Paulina on.
