Next week on Days of Our Lives promises to be one of the most explosive, emotional, and unpredictable weeks fans have seen in months.

The week of October 20 to 24, 2025, brings heartbreak, shocking confessions, and a chain of dangerous secrets that threaten to destroy

Salem’s most powerful families. From Sophia’s shocking memory loss to Nicole’s unexpected return, this week’s DOOL spoilers are guaranteed to leave you breathless!

 

 

Monday, October 20: Sophia’s Breakdown and Arrest

The week kicks off with chaos as Sophia’s arrest sends shockwaves through Salem. After weeks of deceit, betrayal, and escape attempts, Sophia’s final act of defiance comes to a heartbreaking end. But just as police place her in handcuffs, she collapses — losing consciousness and, later, her memory.

 

 

Doctors confirm Sophia has selective amnesia, leaving her unable to recall the events that led to her arrest or the shooting that rocked Salem. Tate and Holly, who were initially blamed for helping her flee, are cleared — but suspicion still hangs in the air.

 

 

Meanwhile, Eric and Nicole face their own emotional turmoil as the fallout from Sophia’s case forces them to confront their past mistakes. Eric begins to question whether protecting Sophia all along was the right choice, while Nicole secretly hides a letter that could change everything.

 

 

Tuesday, October 21: A New DNA Bombshell

On Tuesday’s episode, Sarah Horton stuns everyone when she announces the long-awaited DNA test results for Aaron and Tesoro. The results shock Salem — Aaron is not Tesoro’s biological father. The revelation devastates Aaron, who spirals into despair, questioning everything he believed about his relationship and his loyalty to Sophia.

As gossip spreads, Chloe and Xander argue over who the real father might be. Meanwhile, Dr. Marlena Evans warns that Sophia’s amnesia might not be accidental. “Someone wanted her silenced,” she says ominously, hinting that there’s more to this mystery than anyone suspects.

Elsewhere, Ava Vitali begins investigating behind the scenes, convinced that Clyde or another shadowy figure is manipulating the entire situation from prison.

Wednesday, October 22: Nicole’s Return and a Shocking Proposal

Midweek delivers one of the biggest moments of the season — Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker) makes a surprise return to Salem. Her reappearance catches everyone off guard, especially Eric, who’s still reeling from recent events. But Nicole isn’t here just to revisit old flames — she’s on a mission.

Nicole tells Marlena, “I came back because something terrible is about to happen — and Salem needs to know the truth.”

Meanwhile, Tate finally confronts Holly about the lies she’s been keeping, leading to a tense emotional scene that ends with a tearful apology — and an unexpected proposal. Could these two young lovers finally find peace amid the chaos? Or is their happiness doomed before it begins?
