Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) keeps sensing Stefano Dimera (last played by Joseph Mascolo).

While the woman claims she can now speak to the dead, it’s likely not Stefano she’s sensing. Could it be someone else who is close to the Dimera family, though? Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Susan Banks’ Return

Let’s start off with Susan, who suddenly returned to Salem. Chanel Dupree-dimera (Raven Bowens) hoped she would help solve the case of who really shot Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel).

Instead, Susan wasn’t much help at all besides running around town accusing Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). Then, Susan claimed that she now sees dead people. So far, no words or messages from “Stefano” though.

It seems that Johnny Dimera (Carson Boatman) is relying more on his father’s...

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal a preview clip has been released for the week of August 4, 2025. It shows Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) reuniting with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall).

Anna Dimera (Leann Hunley) tells Tony Dimera (Thaao Penghlis) that Stefano Dimera (last played by Joseph Mascolo) is alive.

Plus, Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) pulls a dirty move in court on Belle Black (Martha Madison). Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Johnny Dimera’s Trial

Johnny Dimera’s (Carson Boatman) attempted murder trial will continue. Johnny and Ej walk into the courtroom with a bailiff standing behind them. As they enter the courtroom, the judge barks for order.

Ej Dimera’s Dirty Courtroom Move

Belle looks stunned at Ej in the preview clip for the week of August 4. Then, we see Ej telling the judge that Belle has a major conflict of interest.

Days Of Our Lives spoilers reveal that there could be a new version of Stefano Dimera (Joe Mascolo) right around the corner. Even Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) revealed that she can feel his presence. Could this be why Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is dreaming about time as Stefano’s Queen Of The Night?

Rumors Of Stefano Dimera’s Return Accelerate

Rumors are going rampant about Stefano’s return to Salem. Of course, it would be very disrespectful for Days writers to recast Stefano.

This doesn’t mean that they won’t have someone else show up with Stefano’s memory like Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) did before. Should fans be getting ready for a new version of Stefano to pop up in Salem soon?

Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) has been having dreams lately about her time as Stefano’s Queen Of This compared with Susan’s comment about Marlena being...

Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that Stefano Dimera (last played by Joe Mascolo) may really be alive. There is a reason why he’s known as “The Phoenix.”

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Stefano Has Been Brought Back From The Dead Several Times

The Days summer preview showed an image of a cryogenic chamber, and we heard Tony Dimera (Thaao Penghlis) say, “It’s almost time, Father.”

In the world of Salem, cryogenic chambers are used to preserve bodies that have been declared medically dead, but there is hope for a future revival.

Stefano’s return is not out of the realm of possibility. Dool is a soap, and it’s no ordinary daytime drama.

Not to mention, Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (William Utay) is no ordinary doctor. He works for the Dimera family and is known for facilitating multiple resurrections.

Stefano has been brought back from the dead several times.

Days of Our Lives may see a brand new version of Stefano Dimera (Joseph Mascolo). Not sure if this would be what I’m trying to think of the count. Is this going to be Stefano version 3.0 or 4.0? But since Joseph Mascolo is gone, that means it is going to be a new Stefano no matter what if they bring the character back.

My wheels have been turning with all this recent talk about the queen of the night dreams that are plaguing Marin (AnnaLynne McCord). And we’re going to talk about The Phoenix rising again and who it may be.

Speculations on the Return of Stefano Dimera in Days of Our Lives

So, I really don’t think the writers or showrunners would ever do a true recast to replace the late Joseph Mascolo in the role of Stefano. So, not a full recast as a permanent character.

Days of our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, July 29, officially kick off Johnny’s trial with Ej and Belle each making their opening statements about their son/nephew.

Johnny’s Trial Starts

It doesn’t matter that Susan (Stacy Haiduk) “knows” that Johnny (Carson Boatman) didn’t shoot her Elvis. The courts, for some reason, aren’t dropping their charges. Which means Johnny has to show up. He has to sit there and listen and, eventually, maybe defend himself.

But he’s not alone. He has help. His father, the man he’s accused of shooting, is also his defense attorney. Oh, and his aunt Belle (Martha Madison) is the prosecutor. But that’s Ok, too. Because Ej (Dan Feuerriegel) and Belle are sleeping together. Which makes this a very one big happy family kind of trial.

We’re not even counting that Leo (Greg Rikaart) is on the jury. Leo...

It’s all about The Dimeras this week on Days of our Lives. This week’s three major moments to look out for in Salem all involve a Dimera.

Courtroom Chaos

Johnny’s (Carson Boatman) trial is already off to a rocky start. After Marlena (Deidre Hall) collapsed, the trial was put on hold for her to seek medical attention. But this week, everyone will make their way back to court to decide whether Johnny is innocent or guilty of shooting his father. Everyone is (mostly) certain of Johnny’s innocence, but Ej’s (Dan Feuerriegel) inability to remember is standing in the way. That, and video evidence that Johnny was at the mansion with a gun the night of the shooting. Look for Ej and Belle (Martha Madison) to be at odds as Johnny’s attorney goes against the Da.

Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates tease Ej Dimera (Dan Feurreriegel) may be rich, but he’s not rich enough to buy Salem University Hospital!

That means he’s got a secret partner in on the deal-and it could be Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) who’s the mysterious investor.

Ej’s Finances Are Under Investigation

Currently, you might be aware that Ej’s financial situation is being scrutinized by both the Isa and the FBI. They have teamed up on this investigation with Cat Greene ( AnnaLynne McCord) and Rafe Hernandez ( Galen Gering) taking the lead.

Ever since Ej secured the deal to acquire the struggling University Hospital, people have been curious about how he managed to pull it off.

It’s one thing for Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) to make a bid-he wields the financial strength of both Titan and Dimera Enterprises, the company that has merged in his favor.

Days of Our Lives sees Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) is rich. But not enough to buy University Hospital. So, we want to talk about whether Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) is the secret partner that helped him get his hands on Salem’s Medical Center. And we’ve got some breadcrumbs. We’ve got some leak info. We have lots to talk about.

We’re going to dive into whether Ej Dimera turned to somebody who’s family adjacent to help him buy the hospital or maybe that person brought him into the deal. And it could be an off-campus jilted Madame Vivian Alamain who supplied enough funds for his winning bid.

In the theory, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) becomes a key player in Xander’s (Paul Telfer) unraveling. After learning about Xander’s actions, Philip considers going to the police but decides to remain anonymous in his tip.

However, when Xander stumbles upon a confidential file labeled “Philip Confidential,” he takes a peek and discovers that Philip might be gathering information to protect himself,...

Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that the evolution of Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is 100 percent genuine, as Leo’s transition from a selfish schemer to a heart-rending anti-hero is unfolding.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Leo Didn’t Exactly Get Off To A Good Start In Salem

Years ago, Leo was hired by the villainess, Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel), to seduce Sonny Kiriakis (Zach Tinker). Sonny’s association with Leo led to his dismissal from his role at Titan. He was also not very nice to Will Horton (Chandler Massy).

Leo has committed some questionable acts and harmed several residents of Salem. That said, there was always something endearing about Leo that made him worth rooting for.

He’s witty, funny, and charming. Leo is so much fun that sometimes you forget he’s really a soap character. He’s more relatable and, dare we say, often more likeable than most other Salemites.

Days of Our Lives sees Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) claims that he has changed his ways, but has he really? We’re going to dive into Greg Rikaart’s character and the sins of his past that are being dredged up right now.

The Evolution of Leo Stark: From Salem Schemer to Soul-Searching Citizen

So, love him or hate him, you got to admit Leo has left his mark on Salem since he first appeared back in 2018. If you didn’t know before that, Greg Rikaart was over on Young and the Restless off and on for a couple of decades playing Kevin Fiser where he was a dodgy schemer there as well. And he was great. I do like Leo better than Kevin. I’ll say I enjoy him more on days.

So back in 2018, Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) had hired Leo to seduce Sonny Kiriakis (Zach Tinker) and cause some big scandal.

Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates tease Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) has returned to Salem and is up to mischief. We’re curious if she’s collaborating with Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) and whether a significant twist involving Stefan Dimera (Brandon Barash) is on the horizon, as well.

Divorce, Diamonds, And Dimitri Drama

On Monday, July 7, Chad Dimera (Billy Flynn) was shocked to find Gwen at the Horton house door, and Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) was even more surprised.

Especially when she saw Gwen wearing the Horton family heirloom diamonds; Gwen had previously left town as the rejected Mrs. Dimitri von Leuschner Dimera (Peter Porte).

It seems Gwen divorced him and took a significant amount of Dimitri’s money in the process, despite her claim that they are still legally married in the episode airing on July 9.

The last time we saw Gwen, she was boarding a jet...

Days of Our Lives sees Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is back in Salem and up to no good. And we’re wondering if she’s working with Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) and if there’s a big Stefan Dimera (Brandon Barash) twist coming, too.

Gwen’s Shocking Return to Salem: Diamonds, Divorce, and Dimitri’s Drama on Days of our Lives

All right, at the end of Monday’s day’s episode, Chad Dimera (Billy Flynn) was stunned to see Gwen at the door of the Horton house, and Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) was doubly stunned because Gwen had the Horton family heirloom diamonds around her neck. She left town as the scorned Mrs. Dimitri von Leuschner Dimera. However, we are assuming that Gwen divorced that cheater and took a big chunk of Dimitri’s change in the split, but you never know.

Last we saw Gwen, she was...

In the unpredictable world of Salem, love stories are rarely simple—and the relationship between Alex and Stephanie is no exception on Days of our Lives. Over the last few years, this complex couple has captured the attention of fans with their intense chemistry, heartbreaking setbacks, and emotional growth. As of mid-2025, their romance is once again front and center in Salem, filled with secrets, forgiveness, and the hope for something lasting.

How Alex and Stephanie First Met

The adult version of Alex came to Salem in 2022, played by Robert Scott Wilson, who immediately brought charisma, charm, and a reputation as a ladies’ man. Stephanie (Abigail Klein), a confident and independent woman with deep Salem roots, didn’t fall for his smooth talk—at least not at first.

Their first interactions were flirtatious but filled with tension. Alex was drawn to Stephanie’s strength and intelligence, while Stephanie saw Alex as arrogant and impulsive.

Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate that it’s been a hot minute since Stefan Dimera (Brandon Barash) has been in the land of Salem; however, the Peacock soap has been dropping his name quite a bit in storylines, as of late. Is the daytime drama hinting at a return? Here’s what we know so far.

Stefan Dimera’s Exit

Days of Our Lives spoilers remind fans that Stefan was kidnapped and taken to Alamainia in October 2024 by none other than his mom, Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel).

He was on the cusp of declaring his love to his wife, Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), and thus reuniting with his estranged wife when Mommy Dearest thought she was doing a solid by stopping him and shipping him off, without anyone in Salem the wiser.

In recent weeks, Stefan’s name has been dropped a number of times. Fans know that mentioning...

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) spoilers suggest that it’s time for Stefan Dimera (Brandon Barash) to return to reclaim Dimera and reunite with Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez).

Days of Our Lives sees Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) has finally opened his eyes on Monday’s episode, much to his brother Xander Cook Kiriakis‘ (Paul Telfer) surprise. And incredibly, Philip is going to lie and cover for Xander. But does that silence come at a price?

Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) will be arrested for the attack on Phillip Kiriakis (John Paul Lavoisier).

However, Phillip may protect his brother to keep from being prosecuted for fraud since he used a forged instrument to get partial control of Titan. Can Phillip and Xander get past this and get back on track as brothers?

Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates tease that perhaps Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) had better watch his back. As you begin to investigate who took down one of the town’s notorious figures, you may just find yourself in the line of fire in Salem!

Leo Started Investigating The Shooting Of Ej Dimera

After Leo’s arrival in Salem, he found himself entangled in numerous complicated scenarios-currently, he is probing into the shooting of the town’s outcast, Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel). In the May 1 episode, Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) caught Leo rummaging through her purse.

Although Leo spun a web of lies to evade being caught, Gabi accused him of pilfering the memory card from Rafe Hernandez’s (Galen Gering) camera.

Once Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and Gabi departed, Leo began jotting down notes, declaring Gabi as his prime suspect in Ej’s shooting.

He also has his...

Roving Reporter

Since Leo (Greg Rikaart) hit Salem, he has gotten himself into a ton of tricky situations. Now, he is investigating the shooting of town pariah Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel).

On the May 1 episode, Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) caught Leo going through her purse. While Leo told a lot of lies to get himself out of the being caught, Gabi also accused him of stealing the memory card out of Rafe’s (Galen Gering) camera. After Javi (Al Calderon) and Gabi left, Leo started dictating notes stating that he thinks Gabi is the number one suspect in Ej’s shooting. He also suspects Johnny (Carson Boatman), Ava (Tamara Braun), Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Rafe.

Xander And Philip Played Dirty And Took Over Dimera

Fans of Dool are aware that Xander and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) resorted to underhanded tactics to execute their takeover while Kristen was momentarily in police custody.

This infuriated Kristen, who attempted to assert her demands afterward, but Xander was unyielding. As a result, Kristen is now thirsting for revenge, and Days spoilers hint that she may soon find a way to achieve it.

With Vivian Alamain’s (Louise Sorel) revelation, Xander discovered the truth behind the forged letter, leading him to swiftly cut ties with Philip.

‘Days of Our Lives’ (Dool) spoilers admit we thought we’d never see the day come when we actually felt empathy for Phillip Kiriakis (John Paul Lavoisier) after he not only stole half of Titan from Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) but also made Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) complacent in his crimes.

However, the fact that Carter and Katie (Heather Tom) were cool with Brooke waiting for Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) is madness. The guy dropped her like a hot potato during the coup business and didn’t wait a second before reconnecting with Taylor (Rebecca Budig). Encourage her to move on, not to wait for her destiny.

Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) daughter has been recast. Alice Halsey debuts as the new Rachel Black on Thursday, April 24. The young actress’ credits include the mini-series, Lessons in Chemistry, and the Disney Junior animation series, Kindergarten: The Musical.

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Monday, April 21, 2025, are here! In the next episode, fans can expect Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) to visit Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) in the hospital.

Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) make a promise.

Plus, Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow) chastises Rex Brady (Kyle Lowder). Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Belle Black’s Promise

In the next episode, fans can expect Belle and Philip to make a promise. After Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) exposed the forgery truth, Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) demanded answers.

Philip told Xander that it was him and Vivian’s secret, and that nobody else knew the truth.

This basically saved Xander and Sarah’s marriage. At the same time, secrets always come out eventually, so it would be better for Sarah to confess now rather than Xander finding out another way.

Days of our Lives spoilers for next week’s episodes tease that the hit Peacock soap is gearing up for May sweeps.

The week also brings a writing change as the final episode of Ron Carlivati’s writing regime airs.

Episodes from new head writers Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford start airing, kicking off their shift to get back to Days’ roots.

One way they are doing that is by bringing back Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso).

Shawn (Brandon Beemer) gets a positive update on his father, which is the beginning of the supercouple’s return home.

Although we are so ready to see Bope back, plenty is happening on Days of our Lives next week to keep us entertained until then.

Xander’s on the warpath

Days of our Lives Weekly Spoilers: Rachel Black Has Something to Hide?

Dool weekly...

Vivian told Philip she blew up his world on the Friday, April 18, episode of Days of Our Lives. Instead of running away, he faced the music with Xander. And instead of pulling a gun or a baseball bat on his half-brother, Xander showed Philip just how hurt he was. And now we need these two to reconcile.

They’re Family

Learning about the forged letter cut Xander (Paul Telfer) to the core. And it triggered his feelings of abandonment and not being good enough for this family. After all, Victor (the late John Aniston) — while he was alive — never acknowledged that Xander was his son. He truly thought Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Vivian (Louise Sorel) were laughing behind his back at getting one over on Xander and stealing his birthright.

While Xander threatened to call the cops, it never felt like a credible threat. However, he told Philip to get out of the mansion.

‘Days Of Our Lives’ spoilers suggest that Stefan Dimera (Brandon Barash) could soon be headed back to Salem and into Gabi Hernandez’s (Cherie Jimenez) arms.

Vivan was expected to serve several more years in prison. However, she was shockingly released early. During their verbal battle, Vivan deceives Gabi in the worst way.

Vivan will tell Gabi that Stefan has moved on from her and is happy without her. The words will surely cut Gabi like a knife.

Stefan and Gabi were almost reunited before Vivian’s manservant, Ivan Marais (Ivan G’Vera), kidnapped Stefan and shipped him off to Alemania after Vivian forged Stefan’s signature on their divorce papers and left his ring for Gabi.

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Friday, April 18, hint that Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) will reconnect once again.
