JOHNNY DI MERA’S NIGHTMARE: ARRESTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER!
The week of June 23-July 4 kicks off with an absolute bombshell that will send shockwaves through the DiMera mansion and beyond! Little Rachel Black (Alice Halsey), with eyes far too innocent for the secrets she holds, is about to confide in Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) with a truth that points directly at her uncle, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman)!
Rachel vividly remembers seeing Johnny arguing with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and aiming a gun at him! This terrifying recollection leads both Rachel and Marlena to the same chilling conclusion: Johnny is the one who pulled the trigger on his own father! Marlena, backed by a resolute Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), will corner Johnny, demanding answers about that fateful night. Johnny, however, will vehemently protest his innocence, swearing he’s not responsible for the bullet EJ took.
But his pleas may fall on deaf ears! Despite EJ’s desperate attempts to prevent his son’s downfall, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) will arrive on the scene to deliver the ultimate blow: Johnny DiMera will be placed under arrest for the attempted murder of his father! This is a seismic event that could change Johnny’s life forever! Will EJ’s memory eventually resurface, pointing to the real culprit? Because trust us, Johnny isn’t the one who pulled the trigger – so who is?!
Later, as Johnny attempts to focus on his new job at Titan-DiMera, brainstorming with Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), his career aspirations will take a brutal backseat to the legal hot water he’s now swimming in. Belle Black (Martha Madison) may be pressured to help, but can anyone save Johnny from this nightmare?
BABY BOMBSHELL: TATE’S PATERNITY SHOCKER!
Hold onto your seats, because a baby bombshell is about to explode, threatening to tear a new family apart! Paul Narita (Christopher Sean) and Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) are finally tying the knot in what should be a joyous occasion, but looming over everything is the turbulent adoption drama surrounding Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd)!
Tate is doing some intense soul-searching about giving the baby up, with Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) pushing him to confront his true desires. Meanwhile, a determined Sophia is hell-bent on speeding up the adoption process, even turning to the notorious Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) for assistance. This move will ignite major tension, as Tate will be furious about Sophia going behind his back, especially with someone he dislikes!
But the true shocker lies beneath the surface: Tate may admit he’s thinking about possibly being the real dad to this baby! And here’s the Days twist that will send jaws dropping: What if Sophia has been lying about the bio dad all along?! The spoilers strongly hint that Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo) was brought back for a reason, and there’s been significant talk about Tate using protection and Aaron’s past connection with Sophia. Could it be that Sophia and Aaron had an off-screen tryst, meaning Tate might miss out on the chance to be a father if Aaron is the baby daddy instead?!
Regardless, Sophia’s little one is set to come into the world very soon, promising absolute chaos after the birth! This paternity puzzle will leave fans reeling and change lives forever!
KATE’S VENGEFUL FURY: MARLENA & ROMAN’S COZY MOMENT SPARKS WAR!

Kate (Lauren Koslow) will spot the ex-lovers bonding, confirming her worst fears and reigniting a bone-deep insecurity and fury! This observation will be the final straw, pushing Kate to a dangerous breaking point!
During the week of June 30-July 4, Days spoilers reveal that Kate will move forward with vengeful plans! What form will her revenge take? Will she confront Roman directly? Or will she target Marlena, the woman who has once again captivated Roman’s attention? Kate is a force to be reckoned with when scorned, and Salem is about to witness her wrath!
CAT GREENE’S DANGEROUS DOUBLE LIFE & XANDER’S OMINOUS THREATS!
As if that weren’t enough, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) will face immense pressure from Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) and officially kick off a secret ISA assignment! This clandestine mission may raise the suspicions of Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering), adding another layer of intrigue to Cat’s already mysterious past. Cat will struggle with the burden of lying to Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) again, even as they share a nice dinner together. Her hidden spy life could threaten to unravel their fragile bond!
Meanwhile, the bitter custody feud between Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and Sarah Horton Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) over Victoria is about to turn SCARY! Xander’s ominous comments will escalate the conflict, hinting at dark tactics or dangerous actions to come. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) will grill Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) about his “bogus story” concerning Xander, pushing for the whole truth, while Philip battles terrible dreams of Xander attacking him.
