The “Days of Our Lives” recap for Friday, April 26, highlights that Johnny DiMera and Chanel DiMera opened a wedding gift from Allie Horton, sent from New Zealand, and also received a gift from EJ DiMera.
EJ and Nicole DiMera had previously gifted Chanel and Johnny a porcelain statue, but EJ followed up with a generous check to help the couple start their married life.
He also offered Johnny a job at DiMera Enterprises, should he decide to join the family business in the future.
In the episode, Johnny and Chanel were seen apartment hunting, though they found it difficult to agree on a suitable place.
They updated Abe Carver about their housing search when they encountered him in the town square.
Meanwhile, Nicole spotted something intriguing online at The Spectator and hinted at it to EJ.
She later went to The Spectator office to apply for a reporter position, despite lacking extensive print media experience.
Chad appreciated her pitch and, noting her potential, decided to hire her on a trial basis with the stipulation that she not report on matters involving her husband.
Back with EJ, he received an urgent call from Paulina Price, leading to a tense meeting where Paulina criticized him for a disastrous press conference and a questionable deal with Stefan DiMera.
EJ retorted by reminding her of the risks she took during a hospital breakout, which exposed others to radiation.
After reuniting with Nicole at home, EJ was irritated by Paulina’s demeanor.
Nicole then shared that she had secured a reporter position at The Spectator, and despite EJ’s concerns about conflicts of interest.
They resolved the issue with Chad, and EJ supported her new job enthusiastically.
EJ suggested Nicole’s first story be an exposé on Paulina, which she hesitated to pursue due to the familial ties between Paulina and Johnny.
Later, Nicole, inspired by EJ’s suggestion, contacted Chad with an idea for a different story.
Paulina, spending time at home with Abe, expressed concern for Chanel and Johnny’s health due to the radiation exposure, although Abe reassured her they appeared well.
However, Chanel showed signs of fatigue in the town square, troubling Johnny, given her recent challenges and early mornings at the bakery.
Elsewhere, Sloan Petersen-Brady reacted anxiously upon learning that Dimitri von Leuschner was released from prison, fearing he might reveal sensitive information about Jude Brady.
She alerted Melinda Trask about the potential crisis.
At The Spectator, Leo hinted to Chad about hiring Eric as a backup photographer, while Eric, puzzled by charges at the Salem Inn, suspected Sloan was having an affair and investigated further.
When he confronted Leo, who answered the door at the inn, Sloan arrived and faced questioning from Eric.
She fabricated a story about feeling responsible for Leo’s financial situation, which Leo corroborated.
Eric expressed skepticism about the ongoing financial support Sloan provided to Leo, leading to a confrontation where he demanded an end to the payments.
Sloan agreed, wrapping up the interaction with an awkward resolution.
“Days of Our Lives” promises more challenges for Sloan, hinting at upcoming drama in future episodes.
