Days of Our Lives Breaking News for Wednesday and Thursday — June 25 & June 26 Episodes
Salem is on fire this week with secrets unraveling, loyalties breaking, and dramatic twists that no one saw coming. In the two explosive episodes airing Wednesday, June 25, and Thursday, June 26, 2025, Days of Our Lives plunges its characters into turmoil that threatens to shatter legacies, destroy reputations, and leave hearts broken across the board.
Wednesday, June 25: Titan in Crisis & A Teen’s Desperate Choice
The midweek episode opens with a poignant, emotional dilemma as Sophia, a young teen facing an unplanned pregnancy, turns to District Attorney Melinda Trask for help. Shaken and afraid, Sophia pleads for help finding adoptive parents for her unborn baby. She’s terrified of the life ahead and desperate not to be another teen mom statistic in Salem. Melinda, surprisingly compassionate beneath her cold, professional exterior, agrees to help—but time is running out, and options are limited.
Meanwhile, Tate, Sophia’s close friend, watches her emotional struggle unfold. Torn between stepping in or stepping away, Tate reflects on his own past mistakes. His hesitation could change Sophia’s life forever. Will he be her support system, or will his silence become her burden?
Across town, the corporate giants of Titan Industries are teetering on the edge of ruin. After Xander Cook’s recent arrest and the violent attack on Philip Kiriakis, shareholders are in panic mode. The company’s once-stable future is now riddled with doubt and danger. Lysin, a cunning executive from DiMera Enterprises, sees Titan’s fall as a potential power grab and quietly plots a corporate takeover.
Xander, never one to fold under pressure, storms back into the boardroom with a bold plan to save Titan’s crumbling reputation. His proposal is risky—but this is Xander, after all. Known for his charm and unpredictability, he’s betting everything on regaining trust and steadying the ship.
But not everyone is buying it. 
Stephanie Johnson, Titan’s razor-sharp PR specialist, confronts Philip about the inconsistencies in his story. Whispers around Salem suggest Philip may be covering for someone—possibly even Xander himself. Stephanie is determined to uncover the truth, regardless of the fallout. In a city where alliances shift with the wind, truth and loyalty rarely coexist for long.
Thursday, June 26: Accusations, Confessions & a Custody War Ignites
Thursday’s episode picks up the pace as secrets boil to the surface and shocking accusations rock Salem’s core. The spotlight shifts to Johnny DiMera, who finds himself at the center of a brewing scandal. Roman Brady and Marlena Evans confront him at the Brady Pub, their expressions grave. Rumors have spread that Johnny was seen holding the gun used to shoot his father, EJ DiMera.
Marlena pleads with Johnny to tell the truth, while Roman’s instincts as a former cop kick in—he wants answers, and fast. Making things worse, Rachel, EJ’s young daughter, claims she saw Johnny pull the trigger. Johnny, caught in a spiral of guilt and fear, admits he had the gun—but insists he didn’t fire it. The truth is buried beneath panic and uncertainty. Can Johnny clear his name before it’s too late?
Elsewhere, Belle Black Brady pays a visit to EJ, still recovering from the gunshot wound. She questions him about the shooting, suspecting he’s hiding something. EJ offers fragmented memories and vague flashbacks, claiming he’s unable to recall the shooter. But Belle isn’t convinced. She’s known EJ long enough to recognize when he’s playing the game—and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
Back at Titan, Johnny finds unexpected solace in a conversation with Gabi Hernandez, whose fashion line Gabi Chic is still thriving despite the chaos. The two share a quiet moment, reflecting on the madness consuming Salem. As their bond strengthens, suspicions rise—could their growing friendship be a new alliance? Or is one of them hiding more than they admit?
Meanwhile, Kate Roberts Brady is watching everything from the sidelines—but she’s not staying quiet for long. Her son Philip is clinging to life after a brutal attack, and Kate wants justice. She vows to Roman that Xander will pay for what happened. Her fierce maternal instinct, combined with years of navigating Salem’s darkest corners, makes her a dangerous opponent.
But Xander’s troubles don’t end with Titan or Kate. His ex, Sarah Horton, unleashes her fury in a very public clash over custody of their daughter, Victoria. Sarah tries to limit Xander’s access, but he lashes back, threatening to use her past mental health struggles against her in court. The argument quickly becomes toxic as Sarah’s past traumas—especially the infamous baby swap orchestrated by Xander and the late Victor Kiriakis—are thrown back in her face. It’s a cruel reminder of just how deep the scars still run.
The confrontation stuns passersby in Horton Square and signals that a bitter legal battle may be on the horizon. For Sarah, the wounds are personal. For Xander, it’s war.
The Fallout: Salem’s Fate Hangs in the Balance
As the dust settles on these two explosive episodes, Salem’s residents are left reeling from betrayals, secrets, and shifting power dynamics. From Sophia’s desperate efforts to protect her unborn child to Johnny’s spiraling legal trouble… from Titan’s looming collapse to Sarah and Xander’s emotional war—the drama is as intense as ever.
But the big question remains: Who will emerge from this chaos stronger, and who will fall?

For long-time fans, these episodes offer everything: raw emotion, explosive confrontations, scandalous secrets, and character-defining moments. Whether you’re here for the courtroom drama, the family feuds, or the steamy office intrigue—Salem has something for everyone this week.
