It’s Christmas week and you know that means if you are a longtime Days of our Lives viewer! It will be time for the annual Horton ornament hanging on the Christmas tree tradition; presided over by Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) without her beloved late husband Doug Williams (Bill Hayes) for the second time.

On the good news front, Julie will get to spend some time with her grandson Eli (Lamon Archey) and his wife, Lami (Sal Stowers) when they return to Salem as featured in the latest Peacock promo for episodes of the streaming soap opera the week of December 22-26.

However, with the arrival on last Friday’s December 19 episode of Dan Gauthier as the recast Peter Blake, the question of, ‘Who is the person behind the kidnapping of all the DiMeras?’ just got more intriguing.

In story, Peter was found dumped into the DiMera crypt and joined his sister, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk), nephew Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews), brother, Chad (Billy Flynn), and soon will be joined by brothers, EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), and Tony (Thaao Penghlis). But who has them all together and why?

Theories have: that perhaps this was all engineered by Peter who faked being kidnapped and found in the crypt, Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) who drugged EJ, Dr, Rolf (Richard Wharton), or is it someone we are not thinking of other than siblings, Megan Hathaway or Andre DiMera (who is supposedly dead)?

Is it possibly connected to Megan’s son, Dimitri Von Leushner since we know Peter Porte is making his way back on-screen from the Days of our Lives winter promo? Or, what about an alive Stefan O. DiMera?

Whatever the case, if you watch the Peacock promo carefully, it looks like some of the DiMeras are freed come Christmastime with Chad being reunited with his children at the Horton Christmas 0rnament hanging. But who else made it out? Stay tuned.
