In this past week’s shows of Days Of Our Lives, TR Coates (William
Christian) was desperate for Lani Price (Sal Stowers) to believe his lies of
being a changed man, that he shot her husband, Eli Grant (Lamon Archey)! Eli has been suspicious of TR (rightfully
so) ever since he appeared in Salem.
After investigating him and talking to one of his exes, Beth; Eli finds
out that TR is still using drugs and is still abusive. Eli confronts TR in an explosive
confrontation that ends with TR shooting Eli in the head! Archey did a phenomenal job showing the
lengths a man would go to protect his wife.
Christian has done a tremendous job of keeping TR Coates mysterious up
until this very moment and definitely raised the creep factor and villain persona
to an all-time high! After TR shot Eli,
he was more concerned with covering up his tracks and left Eli for dead. TR has this brief moment of freaking out when
he goes back to his hotel room when he realizes he just shot (and he thought also
killed) his son-in-law who is also a cop.
Christian showed just how evil TR is when he didn’t show remorse over
what he had done, but rather fear of being caught and that Lani wouldn’t forgive
him, truly bone-chilling! Fans cried
right alongside Lani when she found Eli shot and she did everything she could
to keep him alive until paramedics arrived.
Stowers’ tears and cries for help gave goosebumps. She had a beautiful scene with James Reynolds
(Abe Carver) when Abe was comforting Lani at the hospital as they awaited news
on Eli further showing family isn’t always about biological ties.
Bravo to all on this rollercoaster week and for continuing
to slay every scene! Fans can’t wait to
see what happens next!
