Kristen DiMera's (Eileen Davidson) return to Salem to answer to her crimes and all of the people she hurt is something that has shocked nearly everyone in town-and now, her almost husband Brady (Eric Martsolff) will be forced to make some tough decisions on Days of Our Lives.

Kristen's Return To Salem Shocks Everyone

Now that he too knows Kristen is back, it is like he is being handed a huge grenade, one that is already pressing on top of his recently stressful life. Since his return from Vegas, he has been keeping vigil at his father, John's (Drake Hogestyn), bedside following a head injury he suffered-one Brady thinks he is responsible for-and has annulled his quickie marriage to Theresa (Jen Lilley), all while trying to fight his urges to return to drugs and alcohol.

But now, the reason his life began spiraling so out-of-control is back. He learned at his wedding that his bride had drugged his half-brother and gotten him to sleep with her, taping the entire encounter. After the tape played at the ceremony, not only did the couple's marriage plans tank, but Eric (Greg Vaughan) lost his place in the priesthood. Brady took things so badly that he began drinking heavily and using drugs to cope-something that wasn't made any better by his involvement with Theresa. With Kristen finally back, he can choose to either pretend she's still gone, or he can head to the police station and demand answers. And though seeing her again could backfire on his fragile emotional state, after some guidance from his mother, Marlena (Deirdre Hall), he will head to see his one-time fiancée.

Sonny Seeks Victor's Help

Meanwhile, Sonny (Freddie Smith) and Will (Guy Wilson) have been struggling with Will's recent article that told the real story about what happened with his mother, Sami (Alison Sweeney) and stepfather, E.J. (James Scott).Adding to the couple's troubles, Sonny is keeping a secret from Will-and it's one that could help tear apart the very foundation of their relationship.

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