Days of Our Lives Spoilers Report: September 29 – October 3

Salem has weathered blackouts, betrayals, and heartbreaks—but the week of September 29 to October 3 promises to drag every family into new storms. Secrets are bubbling to the surface, old flames threaten to reignite, and dangerous obsessions are putting lives at risk.

From scandal and sabotage to obsession and revelation, every corner of Salem is set ablaze. Let’s break it all down.

Sarah and Xander: Passion or a Trap?

What began as chaos during the blackout turned into something far more intimate for Sarah Horton and Xander Kiriakis. In the flicker of candlelight, years of longing crashed into a kiss that reignited the spark they once shared. The undeniable chemistry between them was magnetic, a reminder that Xander has never truly let go.

But this isn’t a fairy-tale reunion. Beneath the passion lies a dangerous truth: Xander was the man who attacked Philip Kiriakis. Sarah believes the past is buried, but Salem secrets always find a way to the surface.

• Can Sarah ever forgive him when the truth comes out?

• Will Xander’s lies doom his last chance at love?

Fans are already divided—should Sarah give him another chance, or let betrayal finally catch up to him once and for all?

Gabi Hernandez: Power Play or Fatal Mistake?

Gabi Hernandez has never been one to play fair, but her latest move could backfire spectacularly. By planting a bug in Xander’s office, Gabi risks turning a clever corporate tactic into an explosive betrayal.

Her scheme comes at the worst possible time, with Tony DiMera’s business deal already hanging by a thread and Maggie fiercely protecting Victor’s legacy. If Gabi’s espionage is exposed, she could alienate both allies and enemies alike.

• Could this be Gabi’s boldest win?

• Or the start of her greatest downfall in Salem’s unforgiving battlefield?

Stephanie Johnson: Haunted by Her Past

Stephanie Johnson has worked tirelessly to rebuild her independence and career—but this week, her past comes crashing back. Her ex-boyfriend, Jeremy Horton, returns to Salem claiming he’s changed. Yet Stephanie knows better: his charm is nothing but bait in a trap.

To make matters worse, Jeremy discovers that she’s the secret author behind Anastasia Sands’ novel—a raw and thinly veiled account of their toxic love story. Instead of walking away, Jeremy twists this into proof that Stephanie still feels something for him.

Luckily, Alex Kiriakis is ready to step in, protective and unyielding. But Jeremy’s obsession is dangerous, and his need for control could escalate quickly.

• Can Stephanie keep her abuser in the past?

• Or will Jeremy entangle her in another web of manipulation?

Johnny and Chanel: Adoption Dreams Shattered?

For Johnny DiMera and Chanel Dupree, adoption was supposed to be the next chapter of their love story. But Salem rarely lets dreams flourish without shadows.

Enter Sophia Choi, a ruthless newcomer determined to sabotage Johnny from the inside. Her weapon of choice? Scandal.

Intimate, suggestive photos of Holly Jonas surface, sparking rumors of an affair between Johnny and his student. Though false, the damage spreads like wildfire. Adoption agencies hesitate, whispers grow louder, and even Chanel begins to wonder if their future as parents is slipping away.

Sophia’s motives are crystal clear—she doesn’t just want to block the adoption, she wants to dismantle Johnny’s reputation and destroy his marriage.

• Can Johnny clear his name?

• Or will Salem’s rumor mill ruin his chance at fatherhood forever?

Rachel Black: A Child on the Edge

Perhaps the darkest storyline of all belongs to Rachel Black. Since Kristen DiMera’s imprisonment, Rachel has unraveled thread by thread. Her anger and confusion bubble dangerously close to the surface, and spoilers tease that her rage may explode at school—possibly targeting her pregnant teacher or an unsuspecting classmate.

But Rachel’s turmoil hides a deeper secret: buried in her subconscious is the memory of pulling the trigger on EJ DiMera. That truth, if unleashed, could shatter her innocence and force Salem to face an impossible question.

• Is Rachel a victim of her parents’ sins?

• Or are we witnessing the rise of Salem’s next villain?

The Week Ahead: A Battlefield in Salem

The coming week isn’t just a string of episodes—it’s a battlefield where every choice carries consequences:

• Sarah and Xander stand at the edge of love and ruin.

• Gabi’s dangerous game could destroy her empire.

• Stephanie faces her abuser while Alex stands ready to defend her.

• Johnny’s reputation is dragged through scandal, threatening his future family.

• Rachel Black teeters on the edge of innocence and darkness, her next move unpredictable.

This is what makes Days of Our Lives unmissable: every secret, every betrayal, and every forbidden passion weaving into a storm no one can escape.
