days of our lives Spoilers for December 22-26, 2025 Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is shocked, Sofia Choi (Rachel Boyd) tricks again, and the DiMera family is saved.

As always on Early Release Day, we start with what’s coming up for the rest of the week, and then we’ll talk about what’s coming next week.

‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers early: Brady comforts Rachel

So on Wednesday, December 17, we asked Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) to get some comfort from Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Tate Black (Leo Howard). She felt uneasy because she was in it Bay view. Plus, Rachel might learn about the kidnapping of her mother, Kristen DiMera (Stacey Haiduk).

Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) questions Sarah Horton (Lindsay Godfrey) about why Brady is living in Kiriakis’ mansion without being allowed to, and whether Sarah is starting to see his nephew. Brady tells Xander that, yes, he’s staying at the Kiriakis mansion because his sober coach Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) invited him there. Xander will lash out at Brady after seeing him kissing Sarah. The kiss didn’t happen this week, but it was coming soon.

Kristen flips on EJ

After waking up from a nap in the basement, Kristen loses her temper with EJ DiMera (Dan Ferrigal), accusing him of kidnapping and trying to assault him. Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) must come between them, and he and EJ must calm Kristen down, but she may also be going insane with a fever. Marina Evans (Deidre Hall) worries about her family, and Bella Black (Martha Madison) comforts her. EJ’s disappearance is concerning. Not because they care that he’s missing, but because it means Johnny is at greater risk.

DOOL Spoilers: Kidnapping Mayhem and Shocking Return in Salem

On Thursday, December 18, Jennifer Horton (Kadie McClain) had disturbing news for Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary). So Grandma Jennifer might tell her kid that his father, Chad, was kidnapped. I wonder if this will change Thomas’ mixed feelings about his father. Maybe he would feel a little calmer about Chad.

Paulina Price (Jackie Haley) is with Abe Carver (James Reynolds), who is distraught over Theo’s disappearance. Abe may low-key scold Paulina for not wanting Theo to stay in the DiMera family, while Paulina encourages Theo to take the job. Theo and Chad wonder if they will make it out of the cellar alive.

There they were discussing matters of life and death. These bones may be why they talk about their deaths, because there are people there but no one knows who they are. Christine is sick. It looks like Theo will be sick too, as two of them, plus another family member, will be hospitalized next week.

Peter Blake reprises his Days of Our Lives debut

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) brainstormed with Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) about these tracking letters, and I’m sure they’re going to blame it all on Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan). On the other hand, bad boy Leo Stark (Greg Ricard) has a close relationship with Jeremy. So, since Abe is distraught, he may serve as Leo’s mentor.

Otherwise, maybe Jeremy and Leo just had a cute meeting and commiserated since they were both seen as bad boys. On Friday, December 19, Christine’s brother, the long-lost Peter Blake, was the next of Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) children to be kidnapped and thrown into a mausoleum. This is the first time Dan Gauthier has played the recast Peter. The question, of course, is how long will he be in Salem, and is he a kidnapper?

Chanel’s Unplanned Pregnancy and Gabby’s Guilt of Conscience in Our Lives

Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) is getting some disturbing test results from Sarah that are stressing her out, and Chanel doesn’t need any more stress right now. Considering Johnny had other things on his mind right now, she decided not to tell him. He was very sad that EJ and other family members were missing. So it’s totally unexpected that Sarah might tell Chanel she’s pregnant.

It’s high risk and probably unwise, and we’ll have to wait and see if Sarah tells Chanel this pregnancy isn’t a good idea. She had had a molar pregnancy before, and every time she came to see Sarah for more tests, she would say, “No, you can’t get pregnant yet.” It was a big surprise. So, this was obviously unexpected, unplanned, and probably not medically recommended.

Gabby Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) tries to assuage some of her guilt while spending time with Philippe Kiriakis (John Paul Lavoisier). So, I wonder if she was actually involved in the kidnapping in some way. You know, she might be conspiring with someone. I hope not. But Gabby did try to break the heart of Julie Williams (Susan Seavers Hayes) using an app.

So, don’t count her out. She has issues with Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis), EJ, Theo, you know. Therefore, these people on the list are all people she doesn’t like. Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) gives Arianna Horton (Marissa Reyes) some advice about what might be her problem with Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and Leo.

DiMera Christmas Rescue and Horton Family Holiday Drama

The week of December 22-26. By the way, there is no preemption over Christmas. It’s the only soap opera with five new episodes this holiday week. So, wow! OK Peter, Theo, Christine, Chad and EJ’s basement members were all rescued before Christmas.

Everyone is reunited with their loved ones. Chad is spending Christmas at the Hortons’ house with his children. Lani Price (Sal Stowers), Eli and Lucas Horton (Brian Dattilo) are all there to celebrate the Horton family’s Christmas. It’s time to get out the beautiful decorations with everyone’s name on them.

Xander’s unwelcome holiday

I guess Xander’s invitation has been rescinded. So, will Gwen Rizchek (Emily O’Brien) get to meet her dad face-to-face over the holidays? Will Jack Devereaux (Matthew Ashford) invite Gwen to join them at Horton House? Even if he agreed, I don’t think she would agree. Theo, Peter and Christine will all be hospitalized after emerging from the basement. the days we live in.

Now, this could be because of the bones. You know, it’s probably just because they don’t have heat and it’s Wisconsin and it’s winter. I also wonder if she’s going to visit Rachel bay view Or if her daughter could get some kind of day pass to come over? university hospital to see her mom, Christine.

Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gerin) takes the crypt bones to the FBI lab for analysis. This is a shocking discovery. By the way, it could have been Raph who found the basement crew, because remember he said he wanted to go open the basement and get into it. So, we’ll see.

Days of Our Lives Bayview Nursing Home Holiday Heartbreak and Plans

Rachel won’t like it bay view Being away from family. So, I wonder if Sofia will distract Rachel with more pranks because she’s sad. Apparently, Brady and Tate are coming to see Rachel, and they should be able to deliver the good news that her mom, Kristen, has been found.

Now, this is going to be tricky because I’m trying to remember, remind me in the comments, but I don’t think Tate knew Rachel shot EJ. But with Kristen being found out, I feel like word will spread and Tate might be a little upset that Brady didn’t share it with him. I mean, Tate is a full adult.

Johnny shocked by Chanel’s baby bombshell

Plus, Chanel tells Johnny that once the kidnapping crisis is over and she’s pregnant, he won’t have to worry about EJ and the rest of the DiMera family anymore. Johnny was stunned. To be honest, it looked a little scary.

So, he might be worried that Chanel is pregnant with a child and that he’s passing on his crazy DiMera DNA to the child. I don’t think Johnny doesn’t want to have a child with Chanel; it’s just that he feels his DNA is inherently evil because of EJ.

Leo and Harvey are busy planning their winter wedding, and Owen Kent will be showing up in Salem soon. He was the real monster stalking Stephanie, but someone online encouraged him. That could be Jeremy.
