Thursday’s episode of Days of Our Lives promises high-stakes drama as characters face personal dilemmas and confrontations.
From Maggie laying down the law to Kristen’s continued interference, there’s plenty happening in Salem.
Maggie Confronts Xander: Time to Grow Up
The Days of Our Lives spoilers for Thursday, October 3, reveal that Maggie Kiriakis has officially run out of patience with Xander Kiriakis’ constant thirst for vengeance.
Xander has been obsessing over punishing Brady Black for his role in Sarah Horton’s current condition, but Maggie believes it’s time for a reality check.
Maggie, who once faced her own challenges after being paralyzed, knows that a person’s life doesn’t end when they lose mobility.
She encourages Xander to stop plotting revenge and start focusing on what truly matters—supporting Sarah as she adjusts to her “new normal.”
Sarah needs her husband by her side, not running around town filled with anger.
Maggie urges Xander to mature and be the real man Sarah and their daughter, Victoria, need. It’s time for him to prioritize his family over his need for retribution.
Kristen DiMera Stirs the Pot
Meanwhile, in another corner of Salem, Brady has made it crystal clear to Kristen DiMera that he wants nothing to do with her when it comes to his current legal troubles.
Despite his firm stance, Kristen can’t resist meddling in his affairs. She once again takes matters into her own hands, involving herself in Brady’s criminal predicament despite his wishes.
Brady, on the other hand, wants to maintain their relationship strictly for the sake of their daughter, Rachel, but his stepmother, Marlena Evans, isn’t satisfied with that.
As a psychiatrist and a person who’s seen it all in Salem, Marlena presses Brady to dig deeper into his feelings for Kristen.
She’s less interested in his surface-level frustrations and more curious about what he really feels. Is there still love buried beneath all that anger? Marlena wants Brady to confront his true emotions, even if he isn’t ready.
Holly’s Anger Boils Over, and Sophia Makes a Move
Elsewhere in Salem, tensions are rising in the Walker-Brady household. Holly Jonas is furious with both Eric Brady and her mother, Nicole Walker.
Eric, ever the peacemaker, thinks this might be a good time to urge Holly to visit Nicole and smooth things over. However, his timing couldn’t be worse.
Holly’s frustration is at its peak, and she’s in no mood to play nice or reconcile with anyone just yet.
At the same time, Sophia Choi is taking advantage of her moment. With emotions running high between Holly and Tate Black, Sophia sees the perfect opportunity to make her move.
Known for her intelligence and shrewdness, Sophia strikes when the timing is just right. She knows how to manipulate situations to her advantage, and Tate is now squarely in her sights.
As the drama unfolds, fans will have to wait and see just how much chaos Sophia is about to unleash.
What’s Next?
As the characters in Days of Our Lives continue to grapple with their personal struggles, Thursday’s episode promises tension, emotional confrontations, and plenty of fallout.
Maggie’s no-nonsense approach with Xander could lead to a turning point in their relationship, while Kristen’s relentless meddling in Brady’s life adds more fuel to the fire.
Meanwhile, Holly’s growing resentment toward her family sets the stage for potential conflict, while Sophia’s cunning move on Tate leaves fans eagerly waiting to see what comes next.
