DAYS Recap July 16: Victoria Screams, Xander Panics… and Nobody Picks Up the Baby?!

What happened on Days of our Lives

Little Victoria Kiriakis is having a bad week, and so are her poor parents. First, they seemed to forget that Victoria is a toddler who can walk all around the Kiriakis mansion and can easily climb right out of a bassinet-sized playpen. Victoria seemed to forget she could do this, too. She also forgot she can scream and cry like a toddler, and regressed to her newborn cry. A few days later, Victoria remembered her outside voice and screamed like the almost two-year-old that she is, but her dad forgot that he can actually pick up a screaming toddler and comfort her. Xander was going insane trying to figure out how to calm his invisible, hysterical child, who we assume was strapped into her stroller since she didn't just walk right out of it. But why couldn't Xander just unstrap her and pick her up? Perhaps she could have run around his office for a bit to let off some steam and tire herself out as normal toddlers do. Even when Baby Whisperer Gabi arrived, she thought just rocking a stroller back and forth would do the trick. It did, but by then, Gabi claimed Victoria had worn herself out. We know DAYS didn't want to hire a baby for the day, but how hard would it have been to just make the interactions with InvisiVic just a little more believable?
