Days of Our Lives fans, brace yourselves because the next two weeks — from September 22 through October 3, 2025 — are packed with

explosive drama, shocking confrontations, and devastating betrayals that will shake Salem to its core. Relationships are tested, secrets spill

into the open, and old enemies resurface just as new alliances are formed. Here’s everything you need to know about the chaos coming to your screens.

 

 

Marlena’s Collapse Brings Salem Together

The week kicks off with heartbreaking scenes as Marlena collapses unexpectedly, sending shockwaves through her family and friends. John stays by her side, terrified of losing the love of his life again. Doctors scramble for answers, and suspicions rise that her condition may not be natural. Could someone have deliberately harmed Marlena? Kristen’s name quickly surfaces, and her enemies waste no time pointing fingers.

This health scare also forces estranged family members to put aside their differences. Belle and Eric return to Salem, sparking emotional reunions and heated confrontations. While Marlena fights for her life, Salem holds its breath.

 

 

Rachel’s Dangerous Behavior Escalates

Over the next two weeks, Rachel proves she is her parents’ daughter in every sense. Spoilers confirm she becomes more reckless, manipulative, and defiant. After pushing her teacher down the stairs earlier this month, Rachel continues to spiral, leaving Chloe and Brady desperate for help.

But Rachel isn’t the only one in danger. Her increasingly violent actions could land someone else in the hospital — or worse. By the end of September, Salem authorities may be forced to intervene, and Brady is left with an impossible choice: protect his daughter or do what’s right for the safety of others.

Gabi’s Future Shattered by Tony and Theo

While Salem deals with health scares and dangerous children, the corporate world heats up. Gabi DiMera, still fighting to secure her power in the DiMera empire, is blindsided when Tony betrays her in the boardroom. In a shocking twist, Theo emerges as the dark horse, seizing the CEO throne with Tony’s secret support.

Gabi is humiliated and furious, and spoilers hint she won’t take this betrayal lightly. Expect fireworks as Gabi plots her revenge — but will her schemes backfire, leaving her with nothing?

EJ’s New Love Affair Stuns Sami

One of the juiciest bombshells of the next two weeks comes when Sami learns about EJ’s secret new romance. Spoilers reveal EJ has been hiding a scandalous relationship with someone no one expected, and when Sami discovers the truth, her reaction is explosive.

Sami lashes out, demanding answers, but EJ’s cool demeanor only enrages her further. Could this mark the final nail in their already complicated relationship? Fans can expect fireworks as Sami schemes to expose her ex-husband’s lies.

Rafe Learns He Has a Child

The surprises keep coming as Rafe receives life-changing news. Spoilers confirm that Rafe is stunned to discover he fathered a child years ago — a truth kept from him until now. The identity of the child’s mother and the fallout from this revelation will dominate storylines moving into October.
