The upcoming episodes of "Days of Our Lives" will focus on marriage-wrecking, alter egos and, ultimately, revenge. 

"Days of Our Lives" will be wracked by conflicts surrounding the marriage of Hope Williams Brady (Kristian Alfonso) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). Claire Brady (Olivia Rose Keegan) is out to ruin everything between Hope and Rafe. Tension is lurking behind the scenes as Claire threatens to divulge details of Rafe's affair with Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney). Hope's daughter, Ciara (Victoria Konefal), will use this as leverage against Claire, and this just might be her chance to achieve her plans for revenge.

As with any wedding, the officiant asks the attendees to raise any objections toward the union, and this could be the most opportune moment to break the news of infidelity.

Ciara, who is actually Claire's aunt, has been motivated to pursue plans against her due to their fallout following their rivalry for Theo Carver's (Kyler Pettis) attention. Although Ciara was technically Theo's ex-girlfriend by the time he got involved with Claire, the romantic entanglement caused irrepairable friction between the two women.

Since Claire is dead-set on gaining a solid advantage over Ciara, she will redirect her intentions toward Hope. This move will totally screw their relationship up even more, as well as drive a wedge between Hope and Rafe.

Spoilers indicate that Ciara will retaliate by hitting Claire where it will truly hurt, which would either be related to her music career and her relationship with Theo.

Also on the same cheating vein, Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) will also find out that she was cheated on by Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) with no less than Lani Price (Sal Stowers). Later on during the week, Gabi will also be caught committing a crime on the Mar. 8 episode. Will she be able to evade the criminal implications of her actions?

The rest of the upcoming episodes for the week will focus on Abigail Deveraux (Marci Miller) and her alter ego, whom Stefan DiMera (Tyler Christopher) will encounter. Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) will get closer to the truth about Abigail, and will eventually plant a seed of confusion as he mentions an incident that she does not seem to recall.

Catch the long-running soap "Days of Our Lives" on NBC at 1 p.m. EST.
