There has been a bevy of secrets that Salem's residents have been hiding, but one huge one in particular has been the only one that stayed hidden successfully for some time on Days of Our Lives --until now.

Kate Gets A Lead On Jordan's Secretive Past

Jordan (Chrishell Stause) has been working to keep the secrets of her past completely out of her new life in Salem, which has found her working as a physiotherapist and dating Rafe (Galen Gering). Despite several times where she felt the need to nearly flee, including the arrival of her brother, Ben (Robert Scott Wilson) in town, her secret has remained safely guarded. But now, thanks to Kate's (Lauren Koslow) continued investigation -- the truth is set to finally come out, and could blow both Jordan and Ben's covers.

Kate has been investigating Jordan for months after being initially jealous that the young doctor had won Rafe's heart, effectively stealing him away from his past lover. Though she managed to find a collection of fake ID's in Jordan's apartment and successfully threatened her a few times -- she wound up nowhere. She finally caught a break, however, after seeing Jordan and Ben together and learning they were brother and sister -- and that tidbit led her to Clyde (James Read).

Rafe Demands TheTruth From Jordan

Now, Kate knows the truth -- Clyde is Jordan and Ben's father, and the secret past will soon thoroughly invade their new lives.

Meanwhile, Nicole (Arianne Zucker) will finally take action to get things back on track after she and Eric (Greg Vaughan) called off their engagement. Eric ended things with her after he realized she had evidence which allowed him to work in the ministry again -- clearing him of any wrong-doing from the night he was drugged and had sex with Kristen. Nicole never gave him the evidence in the fear that he would then leave her and go back to being a priest, but now that they are no longer together, she is the only one who holds the key to his happiness. Despite the fact that she knows getting him back in the ministry means zero hope of any romantic reconciliation between them, she will now work to clear her former fiancé's name.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
