The DOOL preview video shows Eli and Julie together, as she exclaims that she’s so “thrilled” to have him there.

10. Final Precious Moments With Victor
Victor Kiriakis was known for his evil schemes back in the day, but he grew a softer heart once he shacked up with Maggie. Sadly, the actor who played this legendary soap opera role, John Aniston, passed away in November. Mr. Aniston worked on the soap up until his passing, and the DOOL preview video shows him cracking a one-liner to Leo during holiday festivities at the Kiriakis mansion.

9. Memorial Show Honoring Kiriakis
There’s sure to be some sort of memorial episode for Victor and Aniston, but since the daytime drama films about six months ahead, it’ll likely take place sometime in 2023. The silver lining of Mr. Aniston working on DOOL all the way up to his passing is that fans will get to enjoy some final moments with Kiriakis on the show. Fame10 will keep viewers updated on any potential memorial episodes for Victor on the horizon.

8. Will Leo And Sonny Cross A Line?
The DOOL preview video shows that when Will stumbles upon Leo and a shirt-less Sonny, he’ll be visibly upset. Added teasers for December suggest that Stark will create a ton of issues for the couple, but what could he do now? Could Will find out that these two are becoming friends and get mad, or will he find them in a compromising position?

7. Gabi And Li’s Wedding
Across town, the DOOL preview video shows Li and Gabi at the altar, but will they go through with the wedding? As their ceremony is scheduled for New Year’s Eve, there’s a good chance that fans will see wedding preparations and “day-of” events take place later in December. Sometimes a “day” in Salem can last a week, so fans shouldn’t be shocked if Li and Gabi’s wedding carries on until January 2023.

The DOOL winter preview reveals that Kate, Marlena and Kayla haven’t seen their last bout of that illness, since all three women will get sick again. As the winter preview extends from December to February, it’s hard to say when this storyline will unfold. However, during the video, Belle exclaims at one point that this is “Mom’s last Christmas”, so there’s a good chance that this storyline will start during the holidays.
