of August 17-21 reveals that Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) will deal with more terrible news while Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) faces a grim fate and Chanel Dupree DiMera\u2019s (Raven Bowens) little one comes into the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Days\u2019 weekly promo kicks off with Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) greeting Lexie in the hospital, where she\u2019ll be taken now that they\u2019ve found her in the DiMera tunnels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately, there won\u2019t be much Lexie\u2019s doctors can do other than make her more comfortable in her final hours.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Days spoilers say Abe and Theo will be by Lexie\u2019s side as she dies once again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, DOOL will highlight the circle of life in the week ahead and show a new beginning as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) will hold Chanel\u2019s hand as she gives birth to their baby, but the delivery will take a complicated turn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Chanel and Johnny face some scary moments, Joy will face the same as Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) shares some details on her condition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since Joy is struggling with spinal stenosis, she\u2019ll push Kayla for answers regarding her recovery chances.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWorst-case scenario is paralysis,\u201d Kayla admits to a distraught Joy in the weekly preview video.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Other Days spoilers say Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo) and Arianna \u201cAri\u201d Horton (Vico Escorcia) will babysit Trey DiMera (Joseph Ihlenf and Jordan Perdue) for a bit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That\u2019ll give Aaron an opportunity to bond with his biological son.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across town, Foster\u2019s (Miles Anderson) evening with Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) will lead to some romantic scenes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It won\u2019t be long until Foster catches Julie off guard by leaning in for a kiss.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Alamainia, captive Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) will urge Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) to understand that they\u2019ll never have a real relationship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dimitri can\u2019t force Leo to feel the same way anymore, so Leo will push him to accept that.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIf you really love me, you will let me go,\u201d Leo says as he pleads with Dimitri in the weekly promo.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Days of Our Lives
