Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers for the week of November 20-24 reveal that Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) will reach a big decision regarding the custody feud. It sounds like Xander will back down and perhaps make Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) more inclined to negotiate a co-parenting agreement.

Next, Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) will push Harris Michaels (Steve Burton) to tackle a problem for her.

As the mayor, Paulina will feel obligated to keep Salem as safe as possible for her constituents – and that means trying to get a grip on the growing drug issues in town.

While Paulina pushes Harris to look into that crisis, Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) will stand her ground against Gil Carter (David S. Lee) when another dispute arises.

That’ll lead to a dangerous situation and leave Harris with more concerns when he finds Ava in such a tight spot.

Later, Ava will get another warning, so Gil may remind her that Clyde Weston (James Read) could have Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams) wiped off the map if she doesn’t get back in line.

Over with Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash), he’ll have some demands for EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), but EJ will be much more worried about Nicole Walker-DiMera (Arianne Zucker) and her difficult loss.

Unfortunately, it looks like Nicole will push EJ away as she grieves for her baby – the baby that’ll secretly be alive thanks to Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) and Sloan Petersen-Brady’s (Jessica Serfaty) twisted scheme.

There’ll be some unsettling moments for Sloan when her secret’s nearly exposed, so someone may almost discover the baby before it’s time to reveal him.

Sloan will manage to avoid exposure for now, so she’ll move forward with the sneaky adoption plan and give Eric updates on the news of the infant’s imminent homecoming.

Of course, there’ll be another obstacle for Melinda and Sloan to contend with since Nicole will demand to see her deceased newborn, but Dr. Pierce (Steve Mize) may step up with a baby stand-in and handle it.

Other Days spoilers say Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) will discover Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) arguing, so he may try to place peacemaker or at least rush to Theresa’s defense.

Back with Stefan, he’ll be forced to attend a prison meeting with Clyde Weston (James Read).

Now that Gabi DiMera (Camila Banus) is in prison, Clyde probably has friends who could offer protection or make things scary for her behind bars.

Perhaps Clyde will toss some threats around regarding Gabi’s safety to get Stefan to cooperate. One way or another, Days spoilers say Stefan will be forced to become Ava’s partner in the drug business.

Thanksgiving is also coming up in Salem, so Paulina will extend an invitation to Abe Carver (James Reynold).

DOOL fans can expect a very memorable holiday for Abe and Paulina this year, so that could be a hint about some or all of Abe’s memories returning.

Other Days spoilers say Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) will celebrate their latest reunion, but Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) will stir up more trouble and leave Chanel wary of her.

As for Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), he’ll raise some red flags for Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein).

Stephanie may figure out Chad’s plan to sabotage Everett Lynch (Blake Berris) at The Spectator and eventually call him out.

Finally, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) will score some info from Harris that throws him for a loop.

That could involve something that tips Leo off to Sloan’s baby deception – or maybe it could involve his freedom if Leo beats the charges or at least scores bail.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say Leo will be a free man one way or another as we head into the Christmas season, so stay tuned to DOOL.
