Days of Our Lives spoilers for October 18, 2023, show us that Gabi and Stefan will be up to their old tricks while Leo and Dimitri learn life is not so easy without Gwen around. Get ready for an exciting day of Salem machinations.

What are Gabi and Stefan Really Up To?

With Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) in trouble with the law once again, Gabi (Camila Banus) and Stefan (Brandon Barash) realize they are down an ally in their quest to take over DiMera Enterprises. That just won’t do so they have to come up with a new strategy to become King and Queen of Everything DiMera. Gabi and Stefan are always up to something and this time they realize they may have to bring Kristen into their plans. That would mean sharing any fruits of their efforts with Stefan’s sister, but they were going to have to share with Vivian so why not Kristen (Stacy Haiduk)?

They are forever determined to beat EJ DiMera (Daniel Feuerriegel) at his own game so we might see that brotherly rivalry heat up again but this time Kristen will likely be on their side so EJ and Nicole (Arianne Zucker) won’t know what hit them.

A Lovers’ Spat for Leo and Dimitri?

With Gwen (Emily O’Brien) leaving both her marriage and Salem behind, Leo (Greg Rikaart) and Dimitri (Peter Porte) are now free to be together. Dimitri is no longer obligated to his marriage to Gwen and Leo has come clean with his best friend so he can be with Dimitri without guilt.

However, without being married, Dimitri might find himself out of an inheritance if his scam union with Gwen is discovered. He seems more concerned about the money than he does with Leo, which can lead to some serious trouble in paradise for these two — and greedy — men.

John and Marlena Comfort Abe and Paulina

Abe (James Reynolds) and Paulina (Jackee Harry) just had an awkward date but at least Paulina was encouraged when her amnesiac husband remembered where they kept the wine decanter. However, he still can’t remember anything else and it’s eating him up inside. To that end, he decides to confide in John (Drake Hogestyn). He admits he has feelings for Paulina. He just doesn’t know what to do with them.

Meanwhile, Paulina is still trying to be patient with Abe, but after all these months, that is easier said than done. She seeks some advice from Marlena (Deidre Hall) on how to navigate her own hurt feelings without hurting Abe.
