Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for Oct 20 – 31, 2025 anticipate EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) getting chewed out and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) making a devilish bargain.
It’s important to note that the last two days of these two weeks, October 30th and the 31st, are the first two days of November sweeps. So look for a big buildup over these two weeks as we get into some really wild stuff in sweeps.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Sophia Faces the Music
All right, Monday, October 20th, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) is working with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) to find Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd). They do find her and they march her into the pub where she will face Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens). Also, Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and baby Tesoro and also her mom, Amy.
Everybody is questioning Sophia at once, demanding the truth, and she just collapses. Javi and Leo are very worried about Tesoro. So with the change in paternity, any papers Tate signed or any permission he gave for adoption are all negated. But the real biological father should get some say or at least a little window to decide if he wants to keep the baby or not. And of course, that’s likely Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo).
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Sarah Blasts EJ
Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) confronts EJ, and it could be about all the mess going on at the hospital, the blackout, all that stuff. Gabi and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) enjoy their blossoming relationship. But if he knows that Gabi planted the bug for Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) in their corporate offices, will Philip let it slide? I mean, probably. Gabi’s gorgeous. She’s hot. She’s in his bed. And let’s be real, Philip has done so much worse than that.
EJ’s Motives Questioned and DiMera’s Corporate Power Plays
Tuesday, October 21st, we’ve got EJ trying to get on Belle Black (Martha Madison)’s good side, but I’m just wondering why he feels the need to. Is it about trying to avoid some kind of prosecution or liability from the city for that blackout? He goes to see her over at Marlena Evans’ (Deidre Hall), so it looks like a personal conversation of sorts. She’s not going to take him back, so I’m very curious to see what he wants.
Sarah checks in with Marlena. She may be talking to her about her health concerns, or she may be consulting with Marlena about how she and Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) are doing after their first couple’s therapy. Perhaps Sophia’s mental health issues come up as well after her recent collapse.
Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) is bickering with Abe Carver (James Reynolds). She doesn’t understand why he won’t let Theo, a whole grown man, make his own decision about being CEO of DiMera Enterprises as Tony offered the job. We are going to have more scenes of Tony this week.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Xander Grills Philip
Gabi comes to an agreement with Theo and she may decide to keep her company under the DiMera umbrella even though Tony has given it to her wholly. She may decide to keep the autonomy but still operate under their umbrella. That way, she and Philip can still date each other and she’ll still have a good-sized corporate machine supporting her.
Xander has some questions for Philip, and I wonder if he is grilling him about his interest in Gabi. As of right now, neither Philip nor Xander know that Gabi was the one who placed the bug in their office. Only Tony and Gabi know. I’m very interested to see if Tony rats her out. If it is Tony, I don’t think he would. But if that’s Andre DiMera (also Thaao Penghlis) masquerading as Tony, then he might do it just to be chaotic.
DiMera Family Struggles and Stephanie’s Secret Identity
Wednesday, October 22nd. We’ve got Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and EJ talking about the family difficulties and the struggles the DiMeras have been going through over the past couple of years. They’ve been put through the ringer a whole lot. Some of it their fault, some of it not their fault.
Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) and Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary) connect. Remember that’s his teacher, but Thomas has been skipping out on school. Jeremy’s been bringing assignments home to the house. I do wonder if Thomas may open up to Jeremy about hating Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) and hating that Chad was with her after she pretended to be his mom on Days of our Lives.
Rita catches Leo probably snooping down in the construction area at the hospital. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) are making plans, and this may be for her big reveal as author Anastasia Sands.
Sophia’s Diagnosis and Rachel’s Returning Memories
Thursday, October 23rd. Sarah has some information for Amy that’s difficult to hear, and it is about Sophia. Sarah may be confirming the recent paternity test. I do wonder if Sarah’s going to tell Amy about why Sophia collapsed. And the question is, is it mental? Is it physical? Is she going to recommend that she get inpatient care at Bayview?
Brady is commiserating with Tate on Thursday. They may feel a loss after finding out that Sophia’s baby was never part of their family, despite all the drama and the trauma. To go from thinking there’s a baby to not, that’s a big deal. Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) is grilling Xander on Thursday. She’s pushing him about Philip.
Rachel Black’s (Alice Halsey) memories are sparked, and it seems like she is starting to get a little recollection back, and that has Marlena worried. Plus, Holly and Ariana Horton (Marissa Reyes) have to face the music with the campus authorities for the accidental dorm fire.
A Town Square Confrontation Leads to a Shocking Confession
Friday, October 24th, Alex and Stephanie are trying to deal with the past. Alex gets real confrontational with Jeremy in Horton Town Square. Stephanie and Alex have just assumed that it’s Jeremy who told Leo that she wrote “One Stormy Night,” and that’s just not true. Alex gets aggressive with Jeremy, and Stephanie tells her boyfriend it’s not worth it, but things are about to get messy because I think Jeremy may be really aggravated by their assumptions.
Javi and Leo run into Amy, and they let her hold her grandson, Tesoro. Sarah confronts Xander and demands the truth about Philip. Guess what? He caves and he finally tells her yes, he’s the one who beat Philip. Sarah kicks him out of the house and takes off her wedding ring. She says they are done. Johnny and Chanel open up about their fears. We’ll see if they still get to adopt.
November Sweeps Spoilers: A Shocking Return and Halloween Horror
For the week of October 27th through the 31st, and again, this includes the first couple of days of sweeps, we have Sophia possibly heading to Bayview. She was trying to run out of town, but she clearly needs help.
Chad may soon have an uncomfortable run-in with Dr. Mark Greene (Jonah Robinson), who is due back in Salem soon. Even though Kate and Chad are split up, they’re going to keep running into each other. Thomas may be leaving Salem soon. Cary Christopher exited Days months ago for a new project.
More backlash from Rachel’s memories coming back of the night she shot EJ. Alex and Stephanie make plans to drop big news about her as Anastasia just as her murder mystery is debuting. Someone is going to try and attack Kate and Chad on Halloween.
Alex warns them and pushes them out of the way as a knife-wielding maniac is running loose in Horton Town Square. However, I suspect this is part of the Halloween episode that is usually a one-off and doesn’t contribute to storyline plans.
Also, just to acknowledge the Emmy wins, Days of Our Lives won one big category, and that was Best Actor for Paul Telfer for the role of Xander Kiriakis. Congratulations to Paul.
