Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for July 7-18, 2025 see Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) is shocked and Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is back for trouble and boy is she going to jump into it right away.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Chad’s Deepening Bond and Custody Battles Heat Up
On Monday, July 7th, Chad DiMera deepens his bond with Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord). He’s starting to get really into his feels with her. And we have got Chad kissing Cat and that smooch is coming soon. Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) is bickering with Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) again.
It’s about Victoria and custody. Both of them were advised to make peace. Sarah was told by Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Xander was told by Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) that them fighting like this is only going to hurt their daughter, but they just can’t seem to help themselves. You know that saying, there’s a thin line between love and hate. And I think they are right on that line.
Sophia Choi struggles with her feelings about giving up the baby. And of course, soon she has to tell Tate Black (Leo Howard) she gave birth. And all this drama, you know, we’ll see. She could be struggling with postpartum depression because she is going to be doing some really sketchy things this summer.
Tate and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) make plans to do this senior camp trip. They are going away for a week, but it looks like Tate’s just going to go away for like a day or so because he’s concerned about Sophia (Rachel Boyd) giving birth, having no idea she already has. Watch for Tate and Holly to be kissing under the fireworks soon.
Gwen Rizczech’s Shocking Return and Romantic Fireworks in Salem
On Tuesday, July 8th, we have got Gwen Rizczech sweeping back into Salem. Emily O’Brien is back. Gwen has got money, attitude, and it looks like Julie Williams’ (Susan Seaforth Hayes) precious necklace around her neck. Chad and Julie are absolutely stunned to see Gwen show up at the Horton House all smug and entitled and just, you know, being Miss Gwen. I’m excited about this more so than I was her as Teresa. So, we’ll see.
Ari is busted by her uncle Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) when she’s up to something. Looks like she’s trying to sneak over to make out with Doug Williams 3 (Peyton Meyer) in his room above the Brady Pub. There’s going to be some action over there between those two this week. Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) tells Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) that he loves her as they enjoy the fireworks and some romance under the July 4th night sky.
Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is worried when the baby won’t stop crying at the Hernandez house. Ari is not enjoying the noise. And we’ve got Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) pitching in to try and get the little guy to calm down. But Leo is actually worried that the baby may be sick. Now, he may just be overreacting because this whole situation is stressing him or legit it could be happening that way. We’ll see.
Leo’s Past Trauma, Forbidden Kisses, and Health Scares Unfold
Wednesday, July 9th, Leo opens up to Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) some more about his past. And maybe his emotional baggage is causing issues with Leo bonding with the baby and being able to deal with it. His terrible mom, Diana Colville (Judith Chapman), is just the worst. And Leo has got mommy issues and daddy issues, and none of that can be helping in this situation.
Doug 3 rejects Ari. She is over there trying to make out with him. He wants Ari to stay away. Doug Williams 3 is trying to keep her safe, but she’s just insulted. And of course, Doug 3 hasn’t told Ari or Holly that he still owes these dangerous people money. They have sent him those photos of the girls. So, you know, he’s not the brightest bulb. He thinks just by kicking them out of his life that’s going to protect them. It’s not. Xander gets some time alone with Gwen at the Salem in and she plants a lip lock on Xander who she’s still clearly hot for.
Belle Black (Martha Madison) worries about Marina when she seems dizzy and close to collapse at home. Plus, Bonnie Lockhart Kiriakis brings some rough news to Sarah. They’re chatting at the Kiriakis mansion and I wonder if this relates to the custody battle and whether Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) will be taking Xander’s case or not. Maggie would be very upset if he was.
Criminal Charges, Family Conflicts, and Shocking Discoveries Rock Salem
Thursday, July 10th, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is facing criminal charges, of course, but Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) is loyal. She believes in his innocence. EJ DiMera is standing by Johnny, too. He’s considering trying to find a way to shift the blame onto Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) for his shooting. And we do know that Kristen is headed to prison later this summer, but I don’t think it’s going to be a direct accusation situation on Days of our Lives.
Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) warns his brother EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) not just about the Johnny trial, but also that Tony intends to take back the company and the two brothers discuss CEO options. EJ thinks it’d be a good fit for Johnny. You know, presuming he gets him off on these attempted murder charges.
Plus, that would get Johnny away from working for the Kiriakis’s over at Titan. Hopefully they can get Dearra out from under that umbrella. And of course, don’t forget Cat’s been tasked with investigating the source of funds that EJ used to buy the hospital. And that’s for the ISA with Rafe helping out as the FBI liaison.
Belle and Jada Hunter are stunned by what is on the memory card that Belle was sent. And the big question is who sent it and why? because last we saw it, it was in EJ’s hands. So maybe he’s setting her up. You can’t put anything past that, ma’am. Xander argues with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). And no doubt it is about Titan.
Johnny’s Trial Looms as Secrets and Manipulations Intensify
On Friday, July 11th, Jada (Elia Cantu) asks Chanel some tough questions. And I wonder if it is about Johnny’s whereabouts the night of the shooting. The gun that Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) handed over isn’t going to help Johnny at all because he wiped it down for Prince.
They obviously can’t test Johnny for gunshot residue because it’s been so long. And the bullet should match. I remember they were having some problems with past ballistic tests like on Kristen’s gun and stuff. Something about the bullet being partially damaged. Sometimes if it hits bone inside a body, it can warp it. So, we’ll see if they get a ballistics match.
Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) offers Johnny an update and EJ’s playing dirty games and he’s manipulating Belle. He’ll obviously do anything to help Johnny. Sarah demands that Philip come clean about Xander beating him and Xander and Maggie are arguing about Sarah and Victoria again.
Days of Our Lives: Trial Secrets, Unexpected Returns, and Dark Turns Ahead
The week of July 14th through the 18th, we’re headed into Johnny’s criminal trial soon. Little Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) is nervous about testifying, but she’s also sitting on a secret that both Marina and Sarah may find out soon. Of course, it’s that Johnny is not the shooter, and the truth about who did it is buried inside little Rachel.
Word spreads that Gwen Rizczech is back, and I think very few people are going to be happy to see her. I am curious to see if Gwen gives Leo the cold shoulder since we know he wants to rekindle their friendship and feels super guilty about banging her hunky husband Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera. Sophia has to come clean to Tate about giving birth. She’s going to lie and say it was a little girl and that the adoptive parents wanted to take the baby right away, so she let them.
D.A. Melinda Trask may try and fake some documents to help support these fibs she’s telling to take. That woman’s going to lose her law license, I tell you. Doug Williams There’s debt collectors amp up soon, and the senior trip takes a darker turn. Belle and EJ may both play dirty in court.
Philip wants to help Xander and Sarah fix things. Cat and Chad continue to get closer, and Julie’s frustrated that Gwen’s got the Horton necklace, and Javi may want to keep the baby as long as possible.
