The latest episode of Days of Our Lives brings a whirlwind of drama and intrigue, as Salem’s finest navigate personal conflicts, heart-pounding charity events, and sizzling auctions. Here’s a spoiler-packed recap of what went down on April 23, 2025, and what’s coming next in the world of DOOL.

Gabby’s Battle for Respect

The morning kicks off with Gabby, visibly frustrated, storming into her living room, phone clutched tightly in hand. Her voice shakes with anger as she vents about JJ questioning her judgment yet again—this time over something as trivial as a routine charity detail. Gabby is done with being second-guessed, and her simmering fury is palpable. She confides in her trusted friends, Javi and Leo, whose concern for her grows as they listen to her frustrations. With determination in their eyes, they agree to support Gabby and help her prove her worth to JJ—and to the people of Salem.

Together, the trio heads for Horton Town Square, where the day’s big event—the Salem Hospital fundraiser—is about to take place. Gabby’s mind is set: If JJ won’t back her, she will make a statement in front of all of Salem, showing just how capable and driven she really is.

Horton Town Square Charity Event

As Gabby, Javi, and Leo make their way to the event, the atmosphere in Horton Town Square is charged with energy. The area is beautifully decorated, with banners and balloons setting the stage for the charity fundraiser. The air is thick with the promise of high-profile donations and the spectacle of Salem’s elite.

But just as the group arrives, Gabby’s focus is momentarily broken when they spot Chad lurking near the event’s central booth, eyeing a rather unexpected scene. Chad’s suspicion intensifies when he notices Cat Green talking with Thomas and Charlotte De But. The subtle interaction between Cat and Charlotte—a fleeting touch and a nervous smile—sets off alarm bells in Chad’s mind. Could this be the start of a secret, or is he reading too much into it? As Chad contemplates what he’s witnessed, he’s forced to question whether he’s truly ready for another romantic relationship. His doubts and suspicions only add to the tension in the air, leaving fans wondering what’s next for Chad.

The Sexy Bachelorette Auction

As evening falls, the sexy bachelorette auction becomes the centerpiece of the event. Host Kayla Brady takes the stage, her voice playful and teasing as she introduces the first bachelor: Alex Kuryakis. The crowd eagerly watches as Alex stands awkwardly in the spotlight, fully aware that the bidding war is about to begin.

Things take an unexpected turn when Stephanie Johnson, Gabby, and Leo all raise their paddles to bid on Alex. Gabby, determined to outbid everyone and prove herself, locks eyes with JJ, knowing that this moment is about more than just winning Alex—it’s about earning the respect she’s fought so hard for.

The stakes soar as the bidding war intensifies, with bids climbing from $2,000 to $10,000 and beyond. Gabby, her knuckles white with resolve, pushes forward with a bold $10,000 bid. The crowd gasps as the auction heats up, and Alex’s smile falters under the pressure. Stephanie counters with $12,000, but Gabby isn’t backing down—she fires back with an astonishing $15,000 bid.

The auction reaches a fever pitch, and everyone’s eyes are on Gabby, wondering whether she will claim victory and regain her confidence, or whether the bid will cause further division in her already strained relationship with JJ.

Xander’s Shirtless Spectacle

Outside the auction tent, the carnival atmosphere continues with food trucks, face painters, and local bands providing entertainment. But nothing draws more attention than Xander Cook, who decides to make a grand entrance by stripping off his shirt in front of a cheering crowd. The roar of applause echoes through the festival as Sarah Horton looks on, eyebrow raised in playful concern.

Xander, ever the showman, flexes his muscles and soaks up the attention, but there’s more to his stunt than meets the eye. Is Xander simply trying to entertain the crowd, or is there a deeper motive behind his bold display? His antics leave many wondering what’s really going on in his mind and whether he’s using the moment to distract from something bigger.

What’s Next for Salem?

As the events of April 23 unfold, several questions linger over Salem. Will Gabby’s aggressive bidding win back JJ’s respect, or will it push them further apart? What is Chad really hiding behind his suspicions about Cat and the De But family? And what’s Xander up to with his attention-grabbing behavior—is there more than just a playful stunt behind his shirtless display?

The episode ends with fans on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the answers to these burning questions. In the world of Days of Our Lives, nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and every action has far-reaching consequences.

What’s Coming on April 24?

The rollercoaster of emotions, surprises, and hidden agendas continues in the next episode. Will Gabby’s battle for respect lead to victory or further fractures in her relationships? What secrets will be revealed about the De But family, and will Chad’s suspicions lead to a romantic breakthrough or heartbreak?
