On the October 27 episode of Days of our Lives, Maggie was ready to demote Xander, kick him to the curb, and/or send him to prison. And not necessarily in that order. She thought she had the upper hand. Until Philip announced he wouldn’t be supporting her in that venture. Now Maggie is mad at both of her stepsons. They figure they’ve got her outnumbered. But what if Maggie has one more trick up her sleeve?
Key Takeaways
Xander and Philip are sticking together against Maggie.
Brady continues to discuss his desire for a career change.
Maggie gives Titan to Brady, since he’s Victor’s grandson — and currently not guilty of a crime.
All For One and One For All
Xander (Paul Telfer) refused to step down in the face of Maggie’s (Suzanne Rogers) threats. She said it’s either my way or the jail way. Not so fast, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) said. If Maggie banishes Xander, he’ll turn in Philip, and then they’ll lose the company they’ve just gotten away from Tony (Thaao Penghlis) and sunk all their personal funds into keeping afloat.
Maggie doesn’t want that, does she? No, she doesn’t. She’ll allow Xander to stay, but she’ll keep an eye on him. So there! Stepmommy has spoken!
The Lost Scion
Xander and Philip have smugly assumed they are Maggie’s only options for keeping Titan in the family. But no, as Yoda told us in The Empire Strikes Back, there is another. And that another is Brady (Eric Martsolf). He doesn’t talk about it that much, but he is Victor’s (John Aniston) grandchild.
Shawn [Brandon Beemer] and Ciara [Victoria Konafal] are also happy with their current lives. Shawn is protecting and serving, and Ciara is sailing and parenting. Brady, on the other hand, has been telling all and sundry that he is considering a professional change. We thought the show was setting him up to partner with Steve (Stephen Nichols) at Black Patch. But what if the show has actually been much more clever?
Third Wheel
What if Brady’s quest for a new role dovetails with Maggie looking for someone new to take over Victor’s company? Brady said he didn’t want to deal with Basic Black anymore. But how would he feel about sitting in the big chair? And getting to boss Philip and Xander around. He may really like that… Which is exactly what Maggie is counting on….
