In the coming two weeks on Days of Our Lives, Salem is bracing for emotional farewells, harrowing secrets, and dramatic showdowns as fan favorites take center stage. From Bo and Hope’s heartfelt exit to the tragic aftermath of John Black’s funeral and the mystery surrounding Philip’s attacker, the lives of many in Salem are about to change forever.

As we head into the week of June 16th, Bo and Hope Brady are making plans for their final days in Salem—for now, at least. The beloved couple will lock in their plans to travel the world, reuniting offscreen with Sierra Brady Weston, Ben Weston, and their children. Before departing, they’ll share tearful goodbyes with their family and friends, including emotional reconnections with Jennifer Horton Deveraux and Julie Williams. The bonds among the Brady and Horton clans grow even stronger during these farewells, which are bound to bring fans to tears.

Bo isn’t leaving without one final mission, however. In a surprising twist, he’ll plead with Steve “Patch” Johnson to reconsider a decision that could have serious consequences. Bo’s passionate plea will create tension, hinting at unfinished business that may come back to haunt him down the road.

Elsewhere, tragedy strikes as John Black’s funeral sends shockwaves through Salem. The entire town gathers to honor the legacy of a man who touched nearly everyone’s life. From long-time allies to unexpected mourners, John’s death reverberates deeply—especially for Marina Evans and young Rachel Black. Rachel is haunted by disturbing dreams of John’s demise and begins to exhibit signs of a psychic gift, reminiscent of Susan Banks. This prompts Brady Black to step in and offer comfort to his troubled daughter, whose visions may prove to be more than just dreams.

Back on the romantic front, Tate Black and Holly Jonas reflect on the end of their young but intense relationship. Holly believes fate is against them, but their feelings are far from resolved. When Sophia Choy goes into labor on graduation day, chaos erupts in Salem General Hospital. Tate scrambles to support Sophia through childbirth, especially as Aaron Green makes a surprise return to town, possibly throwing a wrench into the assumed paternity of the baby. Could Aaron, hinting at a secret past encounter with Sophia, demand clarity about the child’s father? If Tate isn’t the father, it could send his already fragile world into a tailspin.

Meanwhile, Philip Kiriakis finds himself at the center of a dangerous mystery. After being brutally attacked by Xander Cook, Philip shockingly refuses to testify against his assailant. Even after surviving another attempt on his life, Philip chooses to lie about his attacker, claiming someone else was responsible. This opens the door for a possible backdoor deal, one that benefits both men. As Belle Black grills Philip about the inconsistencies in his story, he continues to cover for Xander—possibly to protect someone he cares about or to leverage the situation for future gain. Kate Roberts Brady, desperate and emotional, pleads with her unconscious son to wake up and shed light on what really happened.

In the meantime, Gabby Hernandez re-emerges with a proposal of her own. She tries to lure Javi Hernandez back into her professional orbit, offering him more money and a better work dynamic. However, Javi may choose to follow his heart and return to his true calling as an EMT, potentially setting up future medical-related drama in Salem.

Elsewhere, Doug Williams III seeks the help of Leo Stark, perhaps related to the ongoing necklace mystery, a recent string of robberies, or even personal relationship issues. Leo’s involvement may signal the beginning of a new comedic-yet-chaotic subplot, especially if he gets in over his head.

As the week of June 23rd unfolds, secrets begin to surface. Marina Evans picks up on a disturbing clue while listening to Rachel Black discuss a bad dream about EJ DiMera’s shooting. The pieces start falling into place, and Marina may confront Brady Black, who seems to know more than he’s letting on. If Brady reveals that Rachel witnessed Johnny DiMera’s violent outburst, Marina might press further, leading to an explosive confrontation with Johnny. He’ll be forced to defend himself under the watchful eye of his grandmother, possibly denying any involvement in the shooting. But is he telling the truth?

Meanwhile, Tony, Chad, and EJ DiMera share a rare moment of brotherly bonding over drinks at the Bistro. Their light-hearted conversations may soon turn serious as family secrets threaten to unravel everything they’ve rebuilt. Tensions could spike if any one of them discovers a hidden betrayal or learns more about the attempted shooting.

In lighter news, Paul Narita and Andrew Donovan’s long-awaited wedding is just around the corner. Their love story provides a rare glimmer of joy amidst the chaos. Fans can expect heartfelt vows and a beautiful ceremony, though no Days wedding is ever completely drama-free.

Stephanie Johnson is also at the center of a quieter but still intense subplot. Her steamy manuscript is circulating around Salem, despite her pleas for discretion. As more characters read the intimate story—believed to be fiction but perhaps closer to real events than she lets on—Stephanie’s anxiety spikes. Her trust in Alex Kiriakis is tested, and her reaction could permanently alter their relationship.

As for Sarah Horton Kiriakis, she faces growing custody issues regarding Victoria Kiriakis. With Philip continuing to protect Xander by hiding the truth about the attack, Xander may once again escape legal consequences. But Sarah won’t let go easily, and their escalating conflict could have long-term implications for Victoria’s future. Legal battles, emotional confrontations, and perhaps even dangerous schemes are likely on the horizon.

Elsewhere, Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton return to Salem for Abigail’s memorial. Jennifer is shocked and furious to find Cat Green, Abigail’s impersonator, near the family home. Her outrage is understandable, though Jennifer is also reminded of her own past mistakes. Meanwhile, Jack visits Abigail’s grave, where he may receive a spiritual moment of clarity that helps guide his next steps. Jack could also voice his thoughts about Chad and Cat’s skydiving date—a topic that has left many in the Horton clan speechless.

The end of the two weeks brings more emotional twists. Sophia’s labor intensifies, and her decision to potentially give the baby up for adoption continues to cause conflict with Amy Choy, who has her own opinions on what’s best. As the delivery unfolds, there’s a growing chance that both Sophia and Tate may change their minds and decide to raise the baby together.

As tensions, heartbreak, and shocking truths unfold across Salem, one thing is certain: Days of Our Lives is heating up for the summer. With Bo and Hope preparing for a heartfelt farewell, John Black’s legacy looming large, and multiple secrets threatening to erupt, fans should buckle up for two weeks of jaw-dropping revelations and emotional turbulence.
