Days of our Lives Comings and Goings: TR Coates Shot By Daughter

DOOL updates report the violent movie producer, TR Coates, gets killed by his long-lost daughter. Spoilers indicate injured Detective Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) wakes from his coma.

And he tells his wife Lani Price (Sal Stowers) that her biological father tried to end his life. Of course, TR’s fight with Lani comes as a surprise. He’s been so supportive.

However, before the shooting, Eli received critical intel about TR Coates from his ex-girlfriend Beth Howard (Donielle Artese). She claimed the man she once loved is still a drug-using, abusive jerk.

Days of our Lives fans saw the cop find TR in the park and a struggle over Eli’s gun ended in a near-fatal wound. TR sets the scene and blamed his drug dealer for the crime.

This week on DOOL, Eli remembers what Beth told him about TR and the shooting in the park. TR Coates shot Eli in cold blood. Next, Lani must find her biological father to set the matter straight.

She’s on a mission to protect her whole family, including her mother, Paulina Price (Jackee Harry). After all, TR Coates wants his ex back. But, Lani walks into a horrific scene. Abe Carver (James Reynolds), the man she called “dad” for years, is bleeding on the floor.

And, Days of our Lives comings and goings say she ends TR. She bursts in, gun-out, as TR tries to smack Paulina around. She goes into cop mode and takes fire. Before TR dies, he tells her he loves her and forgives her. TR Coates goes out with a bang this week.

Seth Burns Could Offer Kayla Her Job Back – DOOL Comings and Goings

Days of our Lives news suggests Seth Burns is back. But, this time, he may be the bearer of good news. Recaps show Seth wanted Chief of Staff, Dr. Kayla Brady, to fire Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) for the issues she caused when possessed by the devil.

However, Kayla refused to can her friend. She wasn’t in her right mind because the demon controlled her actions. Instead, the admin gives Kayla a pink slip.

DOOL recaps share money-grubbing Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) wanted his man Dr. Craig Wesley (Kevin Spirtas) to head the hospital. Then, Seth Burns gave Dr. Wesley the job.

However, now that his relationship with Leo blew up at the wedding altar, the handsome doctor goes back to his life in New York. No one holds the lead doctor position.

Next week on Days of our Lives, Seth Burns needs to speak to Dr. Kayla Brady. Sources divulge he has good news for the physician. He could offer her old job back. However, will she take it?

Does she decide she’d instead be retired than return to University Hospital? Her husband, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), will talk his Sweetness into returning to her duties.

After all, she’s not herself without her work. Plus, she wasn’t ready to be retired when Seth fired her. Watch for Seth Burns to deliver the good news on May 10.
