Homecomings and A Tragic Goodbye, EJ Doesn’t Pull Any Punches With Joy, Slapsgiving At The Horton

In today’s DOOL episode (November 29, 2024), the drama in Salem escalates with emotional homecomings, a tragic farewell, and more explosive confrontations. Here’s a breakdown of the key moments that will leave fans gasping:

 Homecomings and Heartbreak

• Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) receives an emotional homecoming after Abigail’s tragic death, but things are far from calm. The return to Salem is not a joyous one as Chad struggles with his grief and the growing tension with his family. As he faces the reality of life without Abigail, he wrestles with whether he can ever truly find peace.
• Meanwhile, Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) returns to town, hoping to find stability in his relationship with Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus), but things are far from easy. The complicated love triangle between Gabi, Stefan, and Li Shin (Remington Hoffman) hits new levels of tension, and Gabi is forced to make some hard choices about her future.

 EJ’s Fury – A Confrontation with Joy

In one of the most heated scenes of the episode, EJ DiMera (Daniel Feuerriegel) takes matters into his own hands when he confronts Joy Wesley (Phoebe K. Robinson).

• EJ doesn’t hold back in his confrontation, telling Joy exactly what he thinks of her actions. The clash between them is intense, and Joy’s lies have pushed EJ to his breaking point.
• As EJ pulls no punches, Joy is left reeling, and her place in Salem becomes more precarious than ever. Will she be able to recover from EJ’s wrath, or is this the final straw that forces her out of town for good?

 Slapsgiving at the Horton House

It’s Thanksgiving in Salem, but things aren’t exactly peaceful at the Horton house. Family drama reaches a boiling point as Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) have a major falling out.

• Steve takes offense to Kayla’s actions, and before anyone can blink, the couple is caught up in a heated argument that leads to a slap that has everyone in shock. Slapsgiving might have been a humorous reference, but this slap is anything but funny.
• The episode builds tension around the Horton family dynamics, showing just how much personal pain and unresolved issues have been simmering beneath the surface.

 A Tragic Goodbye – Doug’s Passing

The episode also marks the official farewell to Doug Williams (Bill Hayes) as Salem mourns his death. The emotional weight of this loss is felt across the entire town, as Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) struggles to accept that her husband is gone.

• Doug’s funeral becomes a major emotional turning point for many, including Julie, Ciara, Ben, and others close to him.
• What’s next for Julie? Will she continue to try and hold the family together in Doug’s absence, or will she break down under the weight of the tragedy?

 What’s Coming Next?

• Will EJ’s confrontation with Joy push her out of town for good, or will she strike back?
• Can Chad ever find closure after losing Abigail, or will he spiral deeper into his grief?
• How will the Horton family move forward after the explosive slap? Can they heal, or are their wounds too deep?
