I don't know if today's cliffhanger was a fake out, but Rafe answered the door awfully casually to a guy who held him hostage for months.

That was EJ and  that isn't fake Rafe who appears it guys Ej owe money to but fake Rafe doesn't appear until next week episodes 

DAYS's Galen Gering dishes with Digest about the return of Rafe's doppelganger and what he's loving about playing Arnold again. #DaysofourLives @galengering https://t.co/aE3KAb1ObX

I'm interested in how the writers are going to have fake Rafe and Jada scenes together 

Days of Our Lives
week ending January 3 (x)

Monday, December 30, 2024 – Episode #15020

Holly thwarts Tate and Sophia’s plans. EJ finds himself in a bind. Sophia questions Ava. Jada has a proposal for Paulina.

Tuesday, December 31, 2024 – Episode #15021

Rafe is stunned to see an old enemy. Sophia's mother reprimands Tate. Doug III offers a sympathetic ear to Holly. Paulina gets a warning from EJ. Brady gets some news that could change his life.

I assume Jada sees fake Rafe for the first time during New Years Eve and I'm interested in how fake Rafe will act around Jada 

 

I’m excited for a whole year of surprises coming up,” said Days icon Susan Hayes, a 50-year-veteran of the show, while Galen Gering, who plays Rafe Hernandez, quipped, “There’s gonna be wild twists and turns, murder, mayhem, weddings, whodunits."

 

For one, the actors are just as surprised by the plot twists as the fans are.

 

“I look forward to the next script because it’s all a secret. You open it, and you discover you’re in love. You discover you’ve been kidnapped. You discover you’ve been set on fire!” Hayes revealed to NBC Insider. 

 

For the momentous upcoming season, Days of Our Lives brought new scriptwriters into the mix, promising a “bigger turn to romance and families and villains, and all the stuff that made the show so great,” revealed Martha Madison (Belle Black).

 

Cherie Jimenez, who plays Gabi Hernandez, looks forward to new storylines spotlighting the show’s many badass female characters: “They do such a beautiful job of writing for the women on the show; there’s no weakness, it’s all strength and power, about rising up and continuing to move on despite all the crazy things that happened.”

 

Elia Cantu, (Jada Hunter) agreed, adding there will be more “girl time” and “fun” GNOs coming up on the show, too.

My prediction: Rafe II is going to shoot EJ (which now seems obvious).

Rafe (or Johnny, Brady, or Doug) will be accused of the crime.  He and Steve will try to clear his name.  He'll solve the crime and become the police commissioner again.  Only to turn it down in order to work with Steve.

Meanwhile, Jada and Belle will look like idiots for rushing to convict Rafe (which is the part that I am least looking forward to).

Fake Rafe  not apart of EJ shooting that doesn't happen until April when Sami is back in Salem
