Hi, Days of Our Lives followers. Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) seems to be at death’s door right now, but he will wake up this week, and when he does, Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) will be by his side, ready to rekindle their relationship.
However, our dispatcher said that Xander is stopping Sarah with some sort of convention ultimatum. So, let’s get into the latest rumor from our insider about Xander and Sarah.
Days of Our Lives: Sarah saves Xander’s life
So, in the present, Sarah took life-saving measures after George O’Halloran (Michael Rose) shot Xander. He aimed at Sarah, who had his laptop, and now Xander is fighting for his life. And as for George, who was his boss DiMera Pharmaceuticalshe was mortally wounded, and EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) found him bleeding out. EJ didn’t even try to save her. He walked away from George in disgust, and then George dropped dead.
Luckily, Sarah kept Xander alive until the EMTs arrived. And it was, of course, Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) on the scene, and he got a job, ran an IV, and then transported Xander to the hospital, with Sarah staying with him and begging Xander not to leave her. Not only that, but Sarah got hold of the laptop that should clear her name and gave the Salem police what they need for the Corysal research.
But for a few days this week, it’s touch-and-go with Xander. However, spoilers confirm that he is fully recovered, as he is awake and reporting to Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) by Thursday, which is the first day of November sweeps.
Strings Tied to the Reunion on DOOL
So, our dispatcher said a while back that a major event would bring Xander and Sarah’s lives back together. That is happening now. The big event in Xander’s life was getting shot. But then our inside source gave us an update recently and said that there will be strings attached to Xander getting back with Sarah. And when Xander sets terms and conditions for their reunion, Sarah is up for the challenge.
If you remember, recently Xander was in that therapy session with Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). In fact, this is Xander’s ongoing treatment for all anger management issues, as Sarah told Xander that it was the last straw after she found out that he was the one who beat his brother, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier), to a pulp.
Back then, Sarah told Xander to work on his anger issues or he couldn’t be around their daughter. Long story short, Sarah filed for divorce, and Xander didn’t object. And from there, he put in a lot of work to earn the right to self-guided tours with their daughter, Victoria Horton-Kiriakis.
Days of our Lives: Xander opens up to Marlena
So during Xander’s latest therapy session with Marlena, he tells her about these mixed signals he feels Sarah is sending. And Marlena asked if Xander would go back to Sarah if he had the chance. And Xander basically told Marlena that yes, he would, but he said there are some issues to resolve on her side.
Xander said that Sarah needs to be held accountable for her own actions that have caused them problems. And Xander said that these had to be dealt with before they could have a healthy relationship beyond being parents. Xander basically doesn’t see a way forward unless Sarah is also going to work on herself.
What our Leaker had in store for DOOL
So we’ve known for about a year, thanks to our distributor, that the supercouple Xander and Sarah would be getting back together. Our narrator even told me that Xander would have flown with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) months before that happened, and it showed up. Also, they told us long before it happened that Sarah was going to have this slow relationship with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf).
And our reliable insider also said that it’s going to take a while for Xander and Sarah to rekindle their romance, but before the holidays, around Christmas or New Years, we’ll see them together, going strong and getting married again. But this week, Xander gives Sarah a few caveats when he wakes up.
Days of Our Lives: Brady sees the writing on the wall
So, before that happens this week, Brady and Sarah have an open conversation after Brady hears Sarah crying and tells an unconscious Xander that she still loves him and begs him to wake up and come back to her. So Brady is already seeing the writing on the wall, but Sarah is going to be honest about her feelings for Xander, and that will be the end for her and Brady.
And by the end of this week, Xander and Sarah have a very touching reunion. But according to our leak, that doesn’t mean Xander is jumping back into sharing a bed with Sarah. Well, he’s fired right now, so maybe he’s not up to it. Or that they will go back to being fully reunited. I expect it to be a heartfelt conversation about what both want.
It seems that Xander might shock Sarah when he tells her that he would like to get back together, but first, she needs to be responsible and work on her trust issues and other issues. And from the looks of it, Sarah is going to be shocked, but the dispatcher said she was up to Xander’s challenge.
Sarah’s Not So Perfect Past on DOOL
I think it’s good that Sarah is getting a little push back, because Xander has done so much work on himself. And let’s be real, Sarah is far from perfect. a lot Days of Our Lives fans complain about her goody-two-shoes attitude and feel that she always takes the moral high ground over Xander. Sarah seems to have forgotten that she is also capable of terrible things.
Let’s walk down memory lane for just a second. At first, Sarah lied about Philip’s form Titan letter for months. She knew that letter was not from Victor Kiriakis (the late John Aniston), and robbed Xander of half of his estate. Sarah deliberately kept Xander in the dark in an attempt to micromanage his temper and avoid a violent reaction.
Sarah wasn’t wrong, as Xander exploded about Philip scamming him out of half of Victor’s company. And yes, Xander beat his brother to a pulp, seriously injuring Philip. That was the fight that destroyed Sarah’s marriage to Xander.
And then Sarah treated Xander like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode, rather than a partner. Sarah chose deception and control over honest communication with Xander. And this reinforced his past trauma, as he felt like Sarah and others who have been close to him just lied to him and completely disregarded Xander’s feelings. That’s not how a healthy couple is supposed to treat each other.
Days of Our Lives: The Victoria Paternity Lie
And there is more. Before that, remember, Sarah lied about Victoria’s father. Sarah revealed that Rex Brady (Kyle Lowder) is the father of her baby. And Sarah and Rex even got married to keep the case that it was Victoria’s biological father. Sarah didn’t want Xander to know that they had made a baby together. And if Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) hadn’t revealed the truth, Xander might not have found out that Victoria was his child. And that was extremely low on Sarah’s part.
Days of Our Lives viewers have repeatedly pointed out that Sarah is a hypocrite. She wants complete honesty from Xander when Sarah hasn’t always been truthful, especially with Xander. And circling back to the Kiriakis brothers, Sarah pressured Xander to tell her the truth about beating Philip. And then, when Sarah found out that Xander kicked his brother’s butt, Sarah called Xander really evil and tossed him aside.
Sarah then had the ability to sue for full custody of Victoria, even though Xander never showed ill will towards their daughter and certainly never harmed her. So basically, Sarah asked Xander to tell her the truth, and then he did what she asked, and punished him.
Days of Our Lives: Sarah’s Turn to Do the Work
So these breaches of trust damaged Sarah’s relationship with Xander, and now he has spent the better part of a year working hard on himself and making great progress. However, Sarah has never been held accountable for her lies and deception towards Xander, and he knows it.
So, I expect he’s going to tell Sarah, “I want to be with you, but you need to do some work on yourself before we’re officially back together.” And I think she’s going to recognize it and say, “Okay, I’m up for that.”
