Days of our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, June 25, prove that Johnny can run, but he can’t hide. EJ may be desperate to get back into his son’s good graces, but Marlena and Roman know that sometimes tough love is the way to go.

Next on Days of our Lives

Johnny (Carson Boatman) and EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) discussed the whole, little, looks like I shot my dad, but let’s keep it a secret, dealio. EJ wants to make up with his son, so he is happy to let Johnny set the lead for what they should do next.

Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Roman (Josh Taylor), on the other hand, are pooling their resources — and their suspicions. They feel certain Johnny is hiding something. Will he tell Grandma and Grandpa? And what will they do with their newfound information?

Family Profile

Going into false labor lit a fire under Sophia (Rachel Boyd), reminding her that she and Tate (Leo Howard) have yet to find adoptive parents for their baby. Now that Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Johnny have fallen through, there are obviously no more viable candidates in Salem, or all of America, really. (Did Sophia really want her child in the same town as her… and her mother?)

So Sophia turns to Melinda (Tina Huang) for help. Considering she lost her precious Hayley, could Melinda decide to adopt the child for herself?

Suspicious Minds

While Xander (Paul Telfer) figures he’s now free to pursue business — it’s not like he has a personal life, such as a wife and daughter to distract him — Stephanie (Abigail Klein) is curious about Philip’s (John-Paul Lavoisier) memory loss regarding who put him in a coma.

She knows about Philip’s lies about Victor’s (John Aniston) will, and why he has to tread carefully. He’s made her keep secrets already. How many more is he expecting her to keep for him?
