‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Weekly Preview Video for December 7-11 – John-Paul Lavoiser Debuts as Philip, Tamara Braun Returns as Ava

“Days of Our Lives” spoilers for the week of December 7-11 tease that this week will bring the return of a popular character, but he’ll be sporting a brand-new look. John-Paul Lavoiser will debut in role of Philip Kiriakis on Thursday, December 10. Philip has been helping out with some of the other branches of Titan Industries, but Brady’s (Eric Martsolf) exit from the company has created an opportunity for him in Salem.

Victor (John Aniston) called Philip back home to take care of business and he intends to do as he’s told. When it comes to Victor, it’s best to follow orders. Naturally, Brady will be suspicious of how Philip’s vision for Titan will pan out. It’s clear that Victor isn’t Brady’s favorite person right now, but he still cares about his granddad. It would be a shame if Philip’s wild ideas brought down Victor’s empire.

Unfortunately, there could be something else for Brady to worry about. In a recent issue of Soap Opera Digest, John-Paul Lavoiser said that he tested with Jen Lilley (Theresa) when he joined DOOL. The scene involved a bit of a power struggle, but there was a sexual overtone to their interaction. Could that mean Theresa will end up falling for the dashing Kiriakis? “Days” viewers know that Theresa had to fight a long time to get this chance with Brady. Let’s hope she won’t blow it.

Of course, we also know that Philip has an extensive history with Belle (Martha Madison). Now that Belle’s a free agent, she might find herself drawn to her former flame. Speaking of former flames, “Days of Our Lives” spoilers say one of Steve’s (Stephen Nichols) exes will show up in town this week. Tamara Braun will reprise her role as the deliciously evil Ava Vitali starting Wednesday, December 9.

Joey (James Lastovic) has been scheming to get his parents back together, but it looks like Ava is the real mastermind. In DOOL’s weekly preview video, Joey tells Ava that her plan is totally working. After flashing a smug smile, Ava replies, “Perfect.” Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve have been growing closer thanks to Ava and Joey’s plot. Joey’s motive is a no-brainer, but what’s Ava’s? The rumors hint that Ava has a trick or two up her sleeve. That can only mean bad news for Steve and Kayla. Stick with “Days of Our Lives” for updates on Ava’s next move.
