Welcome to the Days of our Lives Daily Y.A.P.P. (Your After-Program Ponderings) for a quick — and by that, I mean you’re already halfway done — recap of the most amazing or what-the-heck-did-we-just-watch moments on today’s episode. Let’s get to it:
What happened on Days of our Lives

It was a Days of our Lives brief moment, but a big one. Marlena doesn't let a little thing like grief take away her grit and spunk. When she is angry, she will let you know it, and boy, was she angry at Kristen. Sometimes DAYS likes us to forget about Kristen and Marlena's long-standing rivalry and even tried to make us believe they could be friends back in 2019 and 2020. But that has been long over for quite a while. When Kristen lived with Marlena and Brady for Rachel's sake a few years back, it was quite contentious, but we haven't seen many scenes between them since. However, when Kristen casually blurted out that they all knew Johnny shot EJ, Marlena lost it in a powerful moment that seemed to come out of nowhere. Marlena's anger and fury at Kristen were on full display, shocking Kristen so much that she stammered out an apology. Clearly, Kristen wasn't thinking, which is par for the course with her. But Marlena was, and she didn't want to be anywhere near Kristen anymore. When she got up, picked up her phone, and waved it behind her, telling Brady to "Text me when she leaves," all we could do was laugh. Marlena might be in mourning for the man she has loved for the last 40 years, but she is still a queen who won't put up with anyone disparaging her grandchildren, especially Kristen DiMera.
