Get ready, Days of Our Lives fans — next week in Salem (October 27–31, 2025) promises to be one of the most intense and emotional

weeks we’ve seen all year. Secrets explode, betrayals surface, and a shocking tragedy threatens to tear families apart just as Halloween looms over the town.

Here’s your full weekly update and all the biggest spoilers for what’s coming next on Days of Our Lives.

 

 

💔 Monday, October 27 – Maggie’s Fate and Xander’s Guilt

The week begins with Salem still reeling from Maggie Horton’s horrific accident. Doctors fight to save her life as Sarah breaks down, accusing Xander of being the reason Maggie’s in the hospital.

Kayla Brady delivers a grim update, warning that Maggie’s condition is “extremely fragile.” Meanwhile, Rafe intensifies his investigation and finds signs of tampering in Maggie’s car.

 

 

Behind closed doors, Xander is seen destroying a piece of evidence that could clear his name — why? Fans suspect he’s covering for someone else, possibly Theresa Donovan, who’s growing increasingly nervous about her own connection to Victor’s estate.

By the end of Monday’s episode, Sarah vows to make Xander pay — while Xander whispers, “It wasn’t supposed to be her.”

⚡ Tuesday, October 28 – The Return of a Dangerous Face

 

 

Tuesday’s episode delivers a jaw-dropping twist: Dimitri von Leuschner returns to Salem. Last seen fleeing town after a series of crimes, Dimitri’s reappearance sends shockwaves through everyone connected to the DiMera and Kiriakis families.

He claims to have “unfinished business” with Xander, suggesting that Maggie’s accident was not random. Could he be behind the sabotage?

Meanwhile, Chanel comforts Johnny as the Halloween chaos from last week continues to ripple through Salem. Paulina warns that “evil doesn’t die easily” — a chilling line that hints Salem’s nightmare is far from over.

And in a softer subplot, Eli and Lani share a touching reunion scene, bringing brief relief amidst all the darkness.

🕵️ Wednesday, October 29 – Rafe Finds a Shocking Clue

Detective Rafe Hernandez gets his first major lead in the investigation — a witness claims to have seen Alex Kiriakis’s car near the crash site the night of Maggie’s accident.

Confronted by Rafe, Alex denies any involvement but can’t explain why his GPS shows him near the same road that night.

Elsewhere, EJ DiMera and Stefan clash over control of DiMera Enterprises. EJ believes Stefan has been secretly funneling funds to Dimitri, setting the stage for a dangerous corporate war that could destroy the DiMera dynasty once and for all.

In a tense hospital scene, Sarah prays by Maggie’s bedside — unaware that someone is watching her from the hallway. Could it be Dimitri, or someone else from Maggie’s past?

😱 Thursday, October 30 – Halloween Eve Chaos

Salem prepares for its Halloween festival, but the mood is anything but festive. The town is on edge after the recent murder and Maggie’s accident. Paulina Price organizes a candlelight vigil, determined to “bring light to Salem’s darkness.”

During the event, Leo Stark causes a scene when he drunkenly accuses EJ of hiding a killer. EJ fires back, threatening to have Leo arrested for slander — but Leo’s words might hold more truth than anyone realizes.

Meanwhile, Rolf is seen in a secret lab, speaking cryptically to someone off-screen: “She’ll wake up soon… and when she does, Salem will pay.” Fans are buzzing — could he be referring to Ava, or is someone long presumed dead about to return?

Back at the hospital, Maggie’s monitor suddenly flatlines — and chaos erupts. Kayla and the team rush in as Sarah screams for help. Cliffhanger alert: will Maggie survive?

💥 Friday, October 31 – Halloween Night Shockers

Halloween night brings multiple twists that will change everything. The episode opens with Salem blanketed in eerie fog, trick-or-treaters roaming the streets as thunder rumbles overhead.

Rafe receives lab results confirming that the brakes on Maggie’s car were deliberately cut — and the fingerprints found on the tool belong to Xander Cook.

As Rafe prepares to arrest him, Xander vanishes from Salem, setting off a manhunt that leads police to the old DiMera crypt. Inside, Rafe finds something even more horrifying — signs that someone has recently been buried… and dug back up.

Meanwhile, EJ gets an anonymous phone call with just three chilling words: “She’s still alive.”

The episode ends on a haunting cliffhanger — Sarah sobbing over Maggie’s still form as the camera pans to the shadows outside her window, where a mysterious figure watches silently.

🩸 Next Week Preview: November Sweeps Begin!

As Days of Our Lives moves into November sweeps, expect secrets, shocking returns, and revenge. Dimitri’s return sets up a deadly showdown, Maggie’s fate will finally be revealed, and one Salem couple faces the end of their marriage.

Meanwhile, a DiMera family member presumed dead could be making a spine-chilling comeback.

Halloween may end, but Salem’s nightmare is just beginning.

Stay tuned — the week of October 27–31 will leave fans talking long after the final credits roll!
