Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of August 25-29, 2025 tease devasted DiMeras and a long-waited confrontation between teens.

Kristen’s Confession

Now that Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has confessed to shooting her brother, it’s turning the DiMera family on its side. The week will start with Brady (Eric Martsolf) confronting his ex, while Marlena (Deidre Hall) is left to console a devastated Rachel (Alice Halsey). Her mother just got arrested for a crime she doesn’t remember she actually commit, and only Kristen, Marlena, and EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) know the truth.

Holly And Sophia At It Again

Now that Holly (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate (Leo Howard) are back together, the rekindled relationship is keeping Tate distracted from constantly thinking about the daughter he didn’t get to meet. But mid-week, the couple are said to have a surprise run-in with Sophia (Rachel Boyd).

Sophia has been keeping a major secret about the baby, and whatever happens during this run-in, it will prompt Holly to end the week by confronting her former best friend. Could Holly be on to Sophia’s secret?

Odds and Ends

Elsewhere in Salem, on Tuesday, Abe (James Reynolds) will tell Paulina (Jackée Harry) about a new gig. His previous one resurrecting Body & Soul didn’t quite pan out, so what’s the former police commissioner got up his sleeve this time?

Meanwhile, Thursday brings Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Belle (Martha Madison) closer now that she’s officially done with EJ. It’s clear Philip wants her back, but EJ may not let her go that easily.
