Her return to Salem has been wrought with stress and sadness, and the pressure of everything she's been dealing with will cause Belle (Martha Madison) to turn to a familiar face from her past for comfort on Days of Our Lives.

Brady & Eric's Fates Are Decided

Since returning for Bo's funeral, Belle has been plagued by her marriage to Shawn continuing to struggle--and eventually culminating in her being served with divorce papers. She has also been keeping a huge secret for Sami (Alison Sweeney, who stole money from the DiMeras and left half for Belle in an offshore account with her name. There have also been issues with her daughter, Claire (Olivia Rose Keegan), who is struggling with the divorce.

Now, on top of all of that, her brothers, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Eric (Greg Vaughan) are both in critical condition in the hospital following a horrific car crash caused when Eric drove drunk on New Year's Eve. Both men wound up needing new hearts, with only one available from Daniel (Shawn Christian), who died in the wreck. Brady wound up getting the heart because it was the only way he could be saved, and he so far appears to be on his way to recovery. Eric, however, is left to fight his own condition with antibiotics that could have horrific side effects.

Now, as she deals with just one more stressful situation in her life, Belle will turn to her ex, Phillip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and confide in him with everything that has been haunting her, possibly spilling the secrets that she hasn't yet shared with anyone else in the process. And because of their history, and the chemistry that is still there between them, Phillip could wind up comforting Belle in ways that no one expected.
