‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: December Brings Big Returns, High Drama, And Potentially Another Death

November was a wild month on Days of Our Lives, and spoilers tease that December will be jam-packed with action as well. Everybody in Salem will say goodbye to Bo Brady, but Hope is determined to avenge her love’s death. Belle is back in town, but her marriage to Shawn is on the rocks, and viewers will see plenty more coming soon with Abigail as well. What DOOL spoilers are available for the next month of episodes?

As Celeb Dirty Laundry shares, Shawn will be saying goodbye to Belle on Wednesday’s show. Viewers have seen that the pair believes they are headed for a divorce, and apparently Shawn will decide to leave town again for a bit.

However, Shawn will be back soon. Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate that Jason Cook’s last appearance as Shawn will be Wednesday. Shawn returns to Salem on January 19, but Brandon Beemer will be taking over the role once again.

Belle may be without Shawn nearby for a bit, but John-Paul Lavoisier will be stepping into the role of Philip Kiriakis, and his episodes are said to begin airing in December. Many know Lavoisier best from the time he spent on One Life to Life as Rex Balsom. Will sparks fly between Belle and Philip once again?

Also making an appearance in Salem in December is Ava Vitali, played once again by Tamara Braun. It looks as if Ava is the one who has been taunting Steve, and she’s back to shake things up a bit. Her antics seem to be pushing Steve and Kayla back together, but is she ultimately angling to steal Steve for herself?

Abigail gave birth to her baby boy in the cabin, and Ben is still holding both her and the baby hostage. Chad is desperate to find her, and the drama plays out on this front in the coming week. The “Days of Our Lives Forum Spoiler Page” on Facebook teases that on Monday’s show, Chad and Rafe will figure out just where Ben and Abigail are.

During Wednesday’s show, Abigail will be frantic to talk some sense into Ben, but he still won’t listen to reason. Thursday’s show brings Chad’s attempt to rescue her, but Days of Our Lives spoilers tease that Ben seemingly gets the best of Chad.

On Friday’s show, Ben will have Chad and Abigail chained to the bed as he sets it on fire while he holds the baby and prepares to take off. How will Chad and Abigail get out of this mess? Could this be paving the way for a big change for Abigail?

Also ahead in December, Steve and Kayla grow closer to one another again as Ava plays her games. Hope will do everything she can to figure out who had kidnapped Bo. Meanwhile, there is more on the way regarding Sami and her quest to take down the DiMeras, and it seems that somehow Belle becomes involved. Caroline is worried about Victor after one of her visions, and Brady makes big moves to make Theresa a priority.

Soap Central also teases a couple of significant Days of Our Lives spoilers. At least one more death is going to hit Salem, though it is not known for certain just who is going to die or exactly when. It is believed that Daniel is going to die soon, as it is known that Shawn Christian is leaving the show shortly. Just how does he exit the show, and what does it mean for Nicole?

Fans know that Eve, played by Kassie DePaiva, is leaving soon as well. However, it seems she will be sticking around until February. Many have also speculated that Ben, played by Robert Scott Wilson, may be dying or leaving the show in some fashion soon now that Chad remembers Ben is the Necktie Killer. In addition, the DOOL spoilers tease that there may be trouble on the way as those in Salem prepare to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

Just what is Ava up to in her return to Salem? Will Hope and Steve be successful in tracking down Bo’s former captors? Will Abigail, Chad, and the baby escape Ben’s clutches? Fans have some exciting episodes of Days of Our Lives coming over these next few weeks, and viewers can’t see how it all plays out.
