On today's Days of Our Lives recap:

Gabi gives Tony an inside view of Xander and Philip's volatile relationship. He wonders why brother turned against brother and wonders who knows the truth.

Horton Square: Gwen is taking her bags out of the hotel when she runs into Julie. She spies the necklace, and Julie says it clearly looks better on her. Gwen accuses Julie of stealing the necklace when Julie says a certain person righted a wrong. Gwen says it's not worth the trouble and says she will let it go. Julie goes on and assumes Gwen bought it to exact revenge on Laura for separating her from Jack all those years ago. Julie and Gwen continue to argue when a man emerges from the local bookstore. He begs Gwen to stop her caterwauling and leave lovely Julie alone. Julie thanks Foster for coming to her rescue.
Julie heads into the bookstore and Foster says her necklace is amazing. She asks about a book for a friend and spots a for sale sign on the window and asks what it's about.

Machine Gun Kelly claims he turned down an audition for Sinners – here's why
Machine Gun Kelly has claimed he turned down an audition for box office smash Sinners. The 35-year-old singer said that he was supposed to be in the 2025 thriller movie, directed by Ryan Coogler, during Thursday's episode of The Pat McAfee Show. 'The vampire, they had me set up to do the audition, it's [for] the one that's in the house, so he's the second vampire,' he explained. He then cited the reason why he turned the opportunity down, claiming: 'In the audition, he has to say the 'n-word' and I wouldn't do it.' Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, auditioned for Bert, who gets turned into a vampire by Remmick (played by Jack O'Connell) in Sinners. Bert's wife, Joan, also gets bitten by Remmick and becomes a vampire. Ultimately, the role of Bert went to Peter Dreimanis. During The Pat McAfee Show, the 'Wild Boy' singer said that he's always had an interest in acting. 'I had a lot of aspirations to be in movies, but it just hasn't panned out that way,' Kelly said. 'I'm on universal time, though, so we'll see.' He described what universal timing meant, noting that the acting opportunities will come when it's right for him. 'The angels will put something in the works,' he added. 'Whenever they feel like it.' However, he acknowledged that he doesn't want to wait too long to book another movie role. 'I'd like to be in cinema while I still look young. I'd really like to be recruited into a movie while I still got looks,' Kelly quipped. Kelly started acting in 2014, with his first role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights, where he played rapper Kid Culprit. However, he later noted that when in the acting business, he wants to go by his birth name, Colson Baker, which is what he did in the Western film, The Last Sun. 'I think it's more just out of respect for the art,' he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021 about dropping his stage name for movie roles. Referring to the American painter Jean-Michel Basquiat, he said: 'If you're looking at a Basquiat piece and you have feelings about him personally, is that fair to the art because of how you feel about him personally?" 'There's music and then there's movies. I don't feel like being Inception in a person,' he added, referring to the 2010 Christopher Nolan film. 'Like there's a character inside of a character inside of a character inside of a character. I'd rather it just be me playing a character in one world and then me playing a character in another world.'
