It’s Jada (Elia Cantu) and Rafe’s (Galen Gering) wedding week on Days of our Lives, leading off with their bachelorette and bachelor parties.

There’s just one major problem, the real Rafe is being held against his will by EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel at the DiMera Mansion underground, as Rafe’s imposter, Arnold Feniger (Galen Gering) has once again taken over his life!

The story will take on many twists and turns over the week of January 27-31st, and in the latest promo for the Peacock streaming soap opera, Stephanie (Abigail Klein), Jada’s maid of honor, is throwing her a wild bachelorette party, while faux Rafe shows up for “his” bachelor party.

The dueling bachelor parties happen on the Tuesday, January 28th episode. Later in the week on the Thursday, January 30th episode. Arnold, pretending to be Rafe, forces Javi (Al Calderon) to keep a secret, while EJ toys with the real Rafe. Meanwhile, Jada makes a confession to Stephanie.

By cliffhanger Friday, Javi agonizes to Leo (Greg Rikaart) over revealing the truth, as faux Rafe’s wedding to Jada begins. Just as the ceremony is about to commence, spoilers indicate the real Rafe makes his escape from the DiMera compound. Will he be able to stop the wedding of Arnold and Jada? If so, will Rafe wind up truly marrying the love of his life, or will he be too late?

DAYS fans were shocked when back on the December 24, 2024 episode, EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) received a knock on the door and opened it to see what appeared to be Rafe. However, EJ soon found out it was none other than criminal Arnold Feniger, the man that EJ and Stefano hired back in 2011 to impersonate Rafe (after undergoing extensive plastic surgery that is).
