Get ready, Days fans—Monday, April 14, 2025, is bringing a wave of tension and uncertainty to Salem. As secrets bubble beneath the surface and suspicions grow stronger, loyalties are tested in shocking ways. No one’s safe, and the truth is more elusive than ever.

We kick off with Johnny DiMera, who’s not quite himself. The once charming and confident young man now carries an invisible weight—his smile forced, his demeanor distant. While others might brush it off as stress, Sami Brady sees straight through the act. She knows her son better than anyone. And right now, her instincts are screaming that something is very wrong.

Sami notices the subtle signs—his evasive glances, tightened voice, and tense body language. It all points to one terrifying possibility: could Johnny be hiding something about the night EJ was shot? The idea alone sends chills down her spine. She almost confronts him, but a phone call interrupts the moment. Still, Sami’s not one to let questions like this slide. She’s been burned too many times to ignore her gut now. Rest assured, she’ll circle back—and when she does, she’ll demand answers.

Across town, Chanel Dupree is fighting her own battle. Her husband, the man she fell head over heels for, suddenly feels like a stranger. Johnny’s warmth has faded, his touch distant. And whenever the topic of EJ’s shooting comes up, he tenses, dodges, and deflects. Chanel tells herself it’s just stress or trauma—but deep down, she knows better. Something’s off, and the doubt is beginning to take root.

She’s not ready to accuse him—not yet. But she’s watching closely, clocking every avoidance and late-night stare. If Johnny slips even once, Chanel could be next in line to start digging for the truth. And in Salem, the truth always comes at a price.

Meanwhile, over at the Brady house, Roman and Kate are facing a bombshell of their own. Rex has unearthed a gun—Kate’s old firearm—hidden behind Roman’s bar. It’s a discovery that immediately sets off alarm bells. The weapon shouldn’t have been there. And now, it could potentially tie Kate—or someone close to her—to the shooting of EJ DiMera.

Roman wants to dismiss it, to believe in his wife’s innocence. But the facts don’t lie, and the fear in his eyes says it all. Could someone have planted the gun? Or worse, could one of them be hiding something they don’t even realize? As Roman and Kate cling to each other, their silence says more than words ever could. Trust is fragile, especially when a smoking gun is found in your own home.

And while these personal dramas unravel, tensions explode at the Kiriakis mansion. Vivian Alamain is back—and she’s not just dropping by for a visit. She’s here to reclaim her place, assert her dominance, and shake up the family tree. Her first move? Moving into the estate like she owns the place.

Xander isn’t having it. He sees Vivian for what she is: a threat disguised as family. Their confrontation is immediate and fiery, as past grudges boil to the surface. But Vivian is no amateur. She knows Xander’s weaknesses and how to exploit them. As their battle lines are drawn, Philip Kiriakis steps in to play mediator—but don’t mistake his calm demeanor for neutrality. Philip has his own agenda, and it just might involve outmaneuvering them both.

Vivian, however, is already plotting. She’s playing the long game, setting traps in silence, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And in true Alamain fashion, she won’t stop until she has exactly what she wants.

With secrets mounting and relationships cracking, Salem is heading straight for a storm. Johnny’s silence is no longer just unsettling—it’s damning. If Sami uncovers the truth, it could tear the DiMera family apart. Chanel teeters between love and fear, unsure whether to trust her husband or confront what her heart already suspects.

Kate and Roman are staring down a mystery that could upend everything they’ve built. And Vivian’s power play is turning the Kiriakis estate into a ticking time bomb, with Xander and Philip caught in the blast radius.

So many questions loom over Salem like thunderclouds. Is Johnny protecting himself—or someone else? Will Sami’s quest for truth unravel her son’s world? Can Chanel handle what might be hiding behind Johnny’s eyes? Is the gun a setup—or a forgotten clue finally coming to light? And is Vivian’s return truly about family, or just the beginning of her long-awaited revenge?

As these storylines collide, keep your eyes wide open. In Salem, no secret stays buried forever.
