"Days Of Our Lives" soap recap

On Monday, Rafe and his loved ones feast on what Adriana prepared for them at the Hernandez house. She tried to discourage him from pursuing Hope. Gabi pulled her mum aside and said good things about Hope. Adriana refused to budge and told Rafe to let Hope go. Rafe disagreed and said he’s not into Blanca, who walked in at that point. Rafe apologised to her, and Blanca wasn’t offended at all. Later, he headed to the hospital to visit Hope, who thanked him for saving her life. Elsewhere, Aiden mulled over giving up on Hope or still take a stab at fixing things. He spied and became interested on an article on Justin and an old case that was reopened based on new DNA testing.
