'Days of Our Lives' spoilers, plot update: Claire may ruin Rafe and Hope's wedding for everyone, thanks to Ciara

"Days of Our Lives" spoilers for the next week suggest that the episodes will revolve around secrets, and the characters' abilities to spill them or keep them to themselves. It was revealed that Rafe (Galen Gering) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) will get married in secret before appearing in an actual wedding ceremony where the couple walks down the aisle. However, Hope's granddaughter Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan) also has a secret to reveal, which may shake the very foundations of Rafe and Hope's relationship.

Hope and Rafe are excited about their big wedding, of course. They're so excited, in fact, that the two decided to go to a Horton Cabin on the night before their wedding.

Upon arriving at the cabin, it appears that there is already a Justice of the Peace that is ready to marry them. This suggests that the move was already planned in advance. The two will technically be married even before the grand ceremony that they scheduled in the coming morning.

Everyone will be all smiles when Hope and Rafe walk down the aisle in the wedding ceremony. Little does the couple know that Claire has already found out about Rafe's secret.

As many fans are aware, Hope temporarily broke off her relationship with Rafe in the past. Rafe ended up sleeping with his ex Sami during that cool-off period, and it has been a secret taint in their relationship ever since.

Thanks to Ciara (Victoria Konefal), Claire now also knows about the secret. To be fair, it seems that everyone in Salem knows already, save for Hope.

But the granddaughter seemed to be bent on being righteous — she plans to reveal this big secret during Rafe and Hope's big day. Needless to say, it is a bombshell that is expected to rock the whole of Salem. Not because it was a well-kept secret, but because of the drama that will surely ensue.

Will Hope and Rafe survive this ordeal? Catch these scenes as "Days of our Lives" airs weekdays on ABC.
