Days of our Lives Daily YAPP Recap, May 9: We finally learned something about Javi

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

Did you know Javi Hernandez had a life before arriving in Salem last fall? If you've been watching Javi wondering who he really is all this time, you might think he just magically appeared in Rafe's kitchen, and that is where his life began. Until now, he has been little more than Leo's sidekick with a conscience, as well as the Hernandez cook, whipping up amazing breakfasts for all. When he swooped in to save Sarah's life after another Sweet Bits bakery incident, we were sure we were going to learn he was another doctor who didn't doctor, just like Jada's sister, Talia. We learned she was a doctor when she saved a life in Horton Square. But no, Javi was thisclose to becoming an EMT/firefighter when he bailed for reasons still unknown. But Leo wants to know, so we will soon also know if Leo's googling gets him anywhere. At least having a backstory and an actual job will turn Javi into more of a character than a caricature, which he has been since we met him. Once the hospital is bought and saved (you know it will happen), maybe he will become an integral member of the Salem medical scene. For now, it's just a relief to actually know something about him so we can become invested in the character for the first time.
