Days of Our Lives Spoilers for August 4–8, 2025: Explosive Kisses, Courtroom Shockers, and the Ghost of Stefano DiMera
Salem is no stranger to chaos, but the week of August 4th through 8th, 2025, promises to be one of the most thrilling in Days of Our Lives history. From public betrayals and courtroom bombshells to supernatural claims and a mysterious master plan that could rock the entire DiMera legacy, Salem’s residents are bracing for impact. Here’s your exclusive in-depth breakdown of all the scandal, sorrow, and suspense that will unfold next week.
1. A Scandalous Kiss at the Beastro Shakes Salem to Its Core
In a moment that sets the stage for a volatile showdown, Sarah Horton Kiriakis walks into the Beastro and sees her husband, Xander Kiriakis, locked in a steamy kiss with none other than Gabi Hernandez.
But this isn’t passion—it’s manipulation. Gabi, Salem’s queen of calculated chaos, seems to be using the moment to ignite old tensions, stir up rivalries, and perhaps even make a play for Kiriakis power. Sarah, long known for her compassion and loyalty, does something unexpected. Channeling years of heartbreak, betrayal, and transformation, she turns to Brady Black and declares her independence with a fierce kiss of her own.
“You can spend your time doing whatever you want. Me too,” she says defiantly before pulling Brady into a public kiss.
The fallout is immediate. Xander, furious and humiliated, lunges toward Brady in a fit of rage, fists flying as the Beastro erupts into chaos. It’s not just about jealousy—it’s guilt, remorse, and years of emotional erosion colliding. The aftermath may force Xander to finally confront his demons… or risk losing Sarah forever.
2. Trouble Brews at the DiMera Mansion: Is Stefano Still Alive?
Over at the DiMera estate, Anna DiMera stuns Tony DiMera with a shocking revelation: Susan Banks—now claiming to be a medium—believes that Stefano DiMera is reaching out to her from beyond the grave.
Tony laughs off the claim—at first. But behind that suave exterior lies something darker. He’s hiding something. Old journals, cryptic references to cryogenic preservation, and rumors of experimental resurrection from DiMera Labs hint that Stefano’s legacy may not be buried after all.
Could Andre DiMera, Tony’s lookalike brother, be involved? Is Andre masquerading as Tony, manipulating events to bring back the DiMera patriarch and reclaim the family throne?
The story threatens to pull in Chad DiMera, whose own corporate struggles are now shadowed by the ghost of the man who built the empire. In Salem, even the dead don’t rest easy.
3. EJ vs. Belle: Courtroom Warfare and Romantic History Collide
In the courthouse, EJ DiMera demands that his trial be dismissed, citing a glaring conflict of interest: Belle Black, the prosecutor, is not only his ex-lover but also Johnny DiMera’s aunt.
Belle fires back, calling out EJ’s manipulation and reminding the court that his hands are just as dirty. Tensions rise when Mayor Paulina Price testifies, recounting how she overheard Johnny saying his father “deserved it.”
As EJ digs deeper into the case files, he discovers a confidential memo from the judge’s chambers—suggesting bias. Fueled by this and Paulina’s testimony, EJ’s cross-examinations become vicious, unraveling secrets, exposing motives, and turning allies into suspects.
But beneath the bravado, EJ is spiraling. His past with Belle, his role as Johnny’s father, and his precarious legal standing threaten to collapse under the weight of his ego and secrets.
4. Sami Brady Returns to Salem: Grief, Love, and Legacy
Just as the courtroom storm rages, an emotional storyline tugs at Salem’s heartstrings: Sami Brady makes her long-awaited return.
Her mission? To support her mother, Marlena Evans, in the aftermath of John Black’s passing. The loss of Salem’s legendary spy leaves a massive void, and Sami arrives not just to mourn—but to heal.
In a tearful reunion, Marlena and Sami share memories, regrets, and moments of quiet strength. Sami brings with her mementos from her travels and perhaps a letter John once wrote, adding poignancy to an already deeply emotional reunion.
Her return also reignites interest in the Brady family legacy, especially as she reconnects with family members and uncovers what she’s missed during her time away. But in Salem, no visit is ever simple—and Sami’s is bound to stir things up.
5. EJ’s Secret Plan: A Legacy in the Making or a Dangerous Game?
Back at the hospital, minor frustrations expose major tensions. Sarah Horton calls EJ to complain about the broken elevator—but he’s distracted. He’s got something bigger on his mind: a master plan.
When Gwen bursts in with the latest gossip—Susan Banks claims she’s channeling Stefano—EJ brushes it off. But the story starts to gnaw at him. Stefano’s body was never found, and Sydney, his daughter, just called him with something strange: a vision. A voice. It felt real.
“It was like he was in the room,” she tells him.
Now, EJ is shaken. He never had a chance to say goodbye to Stefano. Could this be his opportunity to right that wrong—or is it something more sinister?
He’s clearly funding something big. Hospital administrator Rita confronts him with mounting budget overruns. She’s convinced he’s funneling money into a secret project. A memorial? A DiMera research lab? Or something tied to the old experiments?
6. Is Stefano Coming Back? Or Is EJ Becoming Him?
As Rita and EJ argue about the hospital’s finances, he redirects the conversation to Stefano. She scoffs at the notion of resurrection—but there’s uncertainty in her voice. She recalls Dr. Rolf’s claims that Stefano once survived death.
Could it be happening again?
EJ’s motives blur. Is this a son trying to honor his father? Or a DiMera heir trying to seize the power and mystique of Stefano’s legacy for himself?
By Friday, EJ stands alone in his office, staring into the night. Sydney’s voice still echoes in his mind. There’s a sense of foreboding, as if the storm is just beginning to build. One thing is certain: EJ’s gears are turning, and Salem is on the verge of a seismic shift.
