"Days of Our Lives" this week looks very interesting, and here are the day-to-day spoilers from Dec. 8 to 12 from Celeb Dirty Laundry

Dec. 8 

On Monday, Serena Mason arrives in Salem. Her first agenda is to visit her ex-boyfriend Eric. Serena is now a reporter and Eric is so shocked to see her back. But he isn't the only one surprised, Nicole is, too.

This Tuesday, Theresa Donovon discovers a secret about a friend. According to rumors, Theresa adds things up by herself and proves something — that Paul Norita is a big flirt. 

Dec. 10 

Wednesday's episode focuses on the fight between Rafe and Clyde. Rafe has always felt the need to defend Jordan. However, Rafe is not completely aware that Jordan is already getting busy with Chad DiMera. Coming to Jordan's defense, Rafe visits Clyde and confronts him about harassing his own step-daughter. Clearly, Rafe wants Clyde to put an end to it. 

Dec. 11 

Jordan, unaware that Rafe is still looking over her, pursues her relationship with Chad. And this Thursday, the relationship goes one level higher as Chad and Jordan finally make love... for the first time! 

Dec. 12 

After Rafe confronts him, Clyde is still stubborn and continues to scheme against his children's lives, but this time, it's Ben. On the other hand, Clyde also bonds with Abigail and offers to help her with her problems. Also this Friday, JJ goes to therapy for his issues. 

See first-hand the trouble that Serena Mason brings, Theresa's discovery and what Clyde will do. "Days of Our Lives" airs weekdays on NBC.
