Days of Our Lives spoilers for August 11-15, 2025 see EJ DiMera‘s (Dan Feuerriegel) sneaky move and Gabi Hernandez‘s (Cherie Jimenez) playing dirty.
As we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week. Then we talk about next week.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: EJ’s Legal Strategy and Tate Black’s Interrogation
On Wednesday, August 6th, EJ talks about making a big move in his legal strategy defending Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman). He is talking to his son about it. Looks like EJ is ready to play as dirty as he has to keep Johnny out of prison.
But I don’t know if EJ is going to tell Johnny exactly what he’s got planned because it seems like a pretty sketchy notion. But it’s one of those high-risk, high-reward scenarios. Tate Black (Leo Howard) interrogates Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) on Wednesday about the adoption and their baby.
Tate is still really depressed that Sophia didn’t include him in the process and he never got to meet their baby. So, I wonder if she can keep this sketchy truth hidden from Tate for much longer. Gabi complains to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). Maybe about Gabi’s Chic. Maybe that baby Tesoro is just fussy. We’ll see.
Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) takes the stand as a witness at Johnny’s trial. She has to say that she heard her son-in-law saying his father EJ deserved what he got. Abe Carver (James Reynolds) is there to comfort Paulina, who of course hates having to testify against Chanel Dupree’s (Raven Bowens) husband.
Secret Trysts and Criminal Past Revealed on Days of Our Lives
On Thursday, August 7th, EJ and Belle Black (Martha Madison) head over to the Salem Inn for a secret tryst. So maybe EJ gets her all hot and bothered till Belle can’t resist him. But EJ could be setting Belle up to save Johnny because it looks like somebody may find out that the DA is canoodling with the defense attorney. Maybe they just bought them. Maybe they snap a picture of them going into the hotel.
Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) questions Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) about his criminal past on Thursday’s Days of Our Lives. And I do wonder if he can put Steve’s mind at ease. And from there, will Alex run tell Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) what her dad found out so that she hears it from Alex and he can explain himself before her dad Steve spills that tea about his prior arrest and criminal charges.
Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Gabi have dinner and what feels like a heartfelt conversation, but that seems to be only on Xander’s part. It looks like Gabi is scheming and she’s digging for info and she’s doing it in a public place and she’s going to take advantage of all of that.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Chanel Supports Johnny
Johnny gets some comfort from his wife Chanel. And of course, Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) remains desperate to find the real killer so Johnny can get back to his life. That’s why Chanel invited Susan to come to Salem, but she seems to have lost the plot.
Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) shocks her husband Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) when she tells him that kooky psychic Susan thinks Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) is alive and in Salem. She thinks he’s in the house. So, you know, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) is kind of like uh EJ’s kind of like uh but she’s very insistent.
Gabi’s Schemes and Xander’s Anger Issues Unfold on Days of Our Lives
On Friday, August 8th, we’ve got Gabi trying to pry secrets out of Xander as part of her scheme with Tony to take down Xander and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). This is part of the whole thing where she said fight fire with fire and Tony says no, let’s fight it with arson.
And that plan seems to be to burn apart any threads left holding the Kiriakis brothers to each other and hoping to start an internal Kiriakis civil war that they can take advantage of. So Gabi is going to kiss Xander at the Bistro.
And I wonder if Gabi intentionally waits until she sees Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) walking in to kiss Xander right in front of his estranged wife. Brady and Sarah Horton’s (Linsey Godfrey) jaws are going to drop. And Sarah’s upset. She tells Xander he can do whatever he wants and so will she.
And then Sarah smooches Brady. That’s probably going to carry over into Monday’s episode, but Xander is going to completely lose it. He is going to punch Brady. So obviously Xander is either not attending these anger management sessions or just isn’t taking notes and paying attention because his anger is clearly unmanageable.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Sparks Fly for Cat & Chad
Chad and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) share a kiss at the end of this week on Days of Our Lives. He’s over at her apartment. He’s taking care of her and they’re horizontal. So we’ll see. Chad just told Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) to zip it on her mean talk to Cat and about Cat, although he did say it respectfully.
So maybe Chad feels like that he’s given Julie the heads up. Now he can do whatever he wants. In court, EJ calls for a mistrial due to a conflict of interest. He may have set it up so he purposefully allowed his fling with Bell to be exposed. EJ is going to make the request.
Belle totally loses it and she goes off on EJ in court. So Belle may figure out exactly what EJ’s doing and why and that he set her up. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) comforts a very worried Johnny and I wonder if she will offer EJ another hypnosis session soon.
Upcoming Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Kiss Drama, Courtroom Battles, and Family Secrets
The week of August 11th through the 15th, we’ve got Xander and Gabi’s public kiss, you know, upsetting Sarah. And then Xander’s going to be facing some serious backlash over hitting Brady. You know, he was arrested for the Philip incident and then his brother refused to press charges on Xander. But we’ll see. You know, will Brady press charges?
Maybe, especially if Sarah tells him to because she might try and take advantage of this for custody reasons. But more so, Sarah kissing Brady could turn out to be a huge mistake. Sarah kissed Brady out of anger and revenge, but he’s about to start getting feelings for Sarah very soon when she is still very much smitten with her annoying, violent, hunky husband.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: EJ’s Plan Blows Up in His Face?
EJ mistrial scheme may not work out the way he wants. Obviously, the judge may reject his request completely, but over and above that, Belle is so upset that this could be the end for her and EJ as a couple. Sophia struggles to keep the truth about Tasto hidden. Plus, she’s still got the hots for Tate.
And with Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) sticking around Salem to go to college, I doubt Sophia is going to get anywhere with Tate. But she can’t let it go. Little Rachel Black’s (Alice Halsey) anxiety is through the roof. We may find out more about what’s making her so nervous, and she is going to take the stand at Johnny’s trial very soon.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Will Anyone Believe Susan?
Susan keeps insisting that Stefano is alive and his presence is strong in the mansion. But EJ, Johnny, and others think she’s a looney tune and completely dismiss what she’s saying about The Phoenix. I do wonder if Tony may believe it or if he also thinks EJ’s mom is a wackadoodle do.
Julie considers Chad suggestion that she buy the bookstore in the square. That would be the perfect spot for a new business venture and some kind of incognito book signing for Anastasia Sans aka Stephanie. She could show up in big sunglasses, a scarf and a hat, you know, sit behind a screen, something to protect her identity.
Or at the very minimum drop off a huge pile of autographed books for Julie to sell. Gabi is ready to swap her attention over from Xander to Philip for part two of this seduction scheme. And I do wonder if Gabi will succeed in pitting the brothers against each other the week of 8/11 – 8/15/2025.
