Another undercurrent is spreading across Days of Our Lives: Hank Northrop officially appears as Liam, Theo Carver’s former high school bully.

This return not only brings up old pain, but also puts Abe Carver – Theo’s father – in an unprecedented difficult position.

Theo is a calm, kind person.

But when Liam shows up at Abe’s community project, everything falls apart.

At first, everyone thinks Liam is a “reformed person,” but the look he gives Theo says it all: “You think you can get away with it?”

The climax is said to take place at The Square, when Liam tries to “test” Theo’s reaction in front of everyone by retelling the old story. “Remember when you cried?” – he says. Theo stands up, clenching his fists, but trying to stay calm. Abe interrupts, asking him to stop. Liam just curls his lips: “Oh, he doesn’t know anything?”

The atmosphere becomes heavy. Abe is stunned – and Theo leaves in tears. When he gets home, Abe asks his son: “Is it true?” And the answer makes him collapse.

Fans comment: this will be a rare psychological – school violence in DOOL, exploiting Theo’s trauma, as well as how a person who has been hurt must live when the past comes back.

Liam may be “playing the repentant role” to hide a larger conspiracy – there are rumors that he is an insider for a powerful figure in Salem. If true, this is not just a personal revenge, but a sophisticated campaign to take down the Carver family from within.
