Unprecedented twists are set to shake up Days of Our Lives during the week of April 21, 2025. On one hand, the comatose EJ DiMera wakes up, while on the other, Gabi tries a roundabout way of making JJ jealous. The bond between Jada and Rafe seems to be over, despite the latter regretting his actions.
The past week on Days of Our Lives saw Salem City fall into chaos after EJ was shot. As the suspect list grew, the Kiriakis family drama exploded, thanks to Vivian's presence. After being spurned by Maggie, Xander, and Philip, Vivian disclosed the forged letter secret to Xander. While Philip accepted the complete blame, Sarah pretended to be innocent to keep her marriage intact.
Elsewhere, Sami arrived in town, explained her side of the dirty history surrounding her son's conception, had a night of intimacy with Rafe, and left with Vivian. Meanwhile, Orpheus's trick on Marlena fell flat as she and Steve walked out on him.
As always, Days of Our Lives continues to present more story arcs of complicated lives in the fictional city of Salem. The long-running soap, which premiered in November 1965 on NBC, now airs on Peacock.
