Days of Our Lives fans are in for an emotional rollercoaster next week as a massive paternity twist rocks Salem to its core. After months of

secrets, lies, and DNA confusion, the truth about Tesoro’s real father is finally coming out — and it’s Liam, the mysterious man Abe

recently mentioned. His shocking reappearance in Salem is set to change everything, leaving Aaron, Sophia, and nearly everyone in town reeling from the fallout.

 

 

The Calm Before the Storm

The week begins quietly, with Salem residents still processing Sophia’s dramatic arrest and memory loss. Aaron has been struggling to accept that he’s not Tesoro’s biological father, and while Sarah’s DNA test results last week already hinted at a secret behind the mystery, the upcoming episodes will confirm what fans have been speculating for weeks — Liam is the real father.

Liam’s name was first dropped by Abe Carver in a cryptic conversation about “unfinished business” and “a man who disappeared years ago.” At the time, it felt like a throwaway line. But now, it’s clear that Abe knew far more than he let on.

 

 

Liam’s Return: A Blast from Salem’s Past

According to Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of October 20–24, Liam finally returns to Salem — and his comeback is far from peaceful.

Viewers will remember Liam from years ago as a brilliant but unstable doctor who vanished after a scandal involving falsified medical records. Now, he’s back, claiming that he’s changed — but many in Salem aren’t so sure. When he steps into University Hospital to confront Sarah Horton, he immediately draws attention.

Sarah is stunned when Liam produces official documents proving that he donated genetic material years ago under a false name — one that now matches Tesoro’s DNA profile. “You mean to tell me you’re Tesoro’s father?” Sarah asks, unable to believe it. Liam nods, saying quietly, “I never thought the truth would find me like this.”

Aaron’s Heartbreak Deepens

Poor Aaron can’t seem to catch a break. After learning he wasn’t Tesoro’s biological father, he hoped the truth might at least bring closure. But Liam’s return sends him spiraling once again.

In a heartbreaking scene, Aaron confronts Sophia, demanding to know how long she’s known the truth. “Did you ever love me, or was this whole thing just a game?” he yells, visibly breaking down. Sophia, still suffering from partial amnesia, insists she doesn’t remember Liam — but flashes of memory begin to haunt her.

The tension reaches a fever pitch when Liam tries to introduce himself to Tesoro. Aaron steps between them, shouting, “You stay away from my son!” — a line that perfectly captures his pain and anger.

Viewers can expect a major confrontation between Aaron and Liam by midweek, one that could turn violent.

Abe’s Secret Role in the Scandal

Meanwhile, Abe’s cryptic connection to Liam starts to raise questions. Why did he mention Liam’s name before the truth came out?

In Thursday’s episode, Rafe and Jada confront Abe after finding a confidential file in his office related to Liam’s disappearance. Abe admits that he helped Liam leave Salem years ago after a malpractice investigation — but insists he had no idea about the child. Still, his involvement in covering up Liam’s past could cost him dearly.

Rumors suggest that Abe might even face temporary suspension as mayor while the investigation unfolds.
