Days of Our Lives spoilers show that there is a new batch of rumors for spring and fall from my source. And, according to my leaker, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier)’ fraud scheme may come out soon. And Kristen Dimera (Stacy Haiduk) could face arrest, while Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) may be packing out of Salem soon.

I’ve got more than 10 hot new rumors from my trusted source to share with you.

Right off the bat, number one, we just saw Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) leave Salem pregnant with Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson)’ baby, and that is actually a rumor that I was sent a couple of weeks ago. I can’t remember if I talked to you guys about it, and then it manifested. So yay for my leaker’s track record on that!

Days of Our Lives Rumors: Chloe’s Return and Philip’s Exit

The Days...

Days of Our Lives spoilers for March 24-28, 2025 see Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) is going to bail, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is crushed, and Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) is raging.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Joy’s Decision and Theresa’s Departure

On Wednesday, March 19th, Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) tells Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) that she has made a decision. Now, this could be something about work, that she’s going to just stay out of his way and stick with the job since that’s what Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) encouraged her to do. Or maybe she is second-guessing keeping this pregnancy hidden. I expect she’s going to keep it hidden. We’ll see. I think this is a spoiler to get us excited, but it’s not going to be what we hope.

Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy), meanwhile, drops some upsetting news on his daughter...

Maggie name-dropped Vivian Alamain in the Wednesday, March 19 episode of Days of Our Lives. She volunteered at Statesville and ran into the woman who talked to her about Philip. In addition, Theresa and Joy may have both exited Salem, and Xander stumbled and eavesdropped his way into having the wrong idea.

Goodbyes and Lies The Lies and Lies of Omission

Apparently, Vivian (Louise Sorel) approached Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) and mentioned how pleased she was that the letter enabled Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) to stake out a claim at Titan. And she also said she was glad she was able to forge a new relationship with Philip. She actually used the word “forge.” This tells us that Vivian’s not completely out of the game here. She may well reveal the truth whenever she wants.

Meanwhile, Xander (Paul Telfer) eavesdropped on Philip and Stephanie (Abigail Klein), but he only heard them talking...

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, March 19, imply some major plot twists on the horizon in Salem.

Someone’s the bearer of bad news, while a Salemite makes an important decision, and a character wishes they could be a fly on the wall in one conversation.

What’s set to unfold during Wednesday’s show? Time to find out!

Shane Donovan’s Bad News

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, March 19 reveal that Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) will be the bearer of bad news for one Salemite, and that person is his daughter, Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien). Is this about John Black (Drake Hogestyn) or something else?

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, March 19 reveal Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) gets bad news. Meanwhile, Philip Kiriakis’ (John-Paul Lavoisier) secret isn’t as safe as he thinks. Sort of. Plus, Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) has a lot on her mind. Here’s what you need to know.

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, March 19: Bad news

First, Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal Theresa is crushed by the news Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) gives her. Since she was specifically calling him to check on the situation with John Black (Drake Hogestyn), we assume Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) was right. He knows more than he let on, and it’s not good. Which actually feels a bit cruel to us that he didn’t just say so. Instead, he gave them John’s last known location for her and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) to look for him.

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, March 19, 2025, are here! In tomorrow’s episode, fans can expect Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) to be crushed.

Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) learns of Joy Wesley’s (AlexAnn Hopkins) decision. Meanwhile, Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) spies on Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavosier).

Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Theresa Donovan Crushed

On Wednesday, March 18, fans can expect Theresa to be crushed. Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy) called her to share some devastating news. The felon seemed pretty impatient that he had just now gotten back to her.

However, she will understand after she hears what’s going on. It seems that Theresa might need to go to California to take care of her mother.

It’s not just Shane’s phone call, but Kimberly Brady (Patsy Pease) has been mentioned multiple times recently.

Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for March 17-28, 2025 see Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) is freaking out, Belle Black (Martha Madison) confesses, and Johnny Dimera (Carson Boatman) attacks.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Ava and Melinda’s Tense Encounter and Kristen’s Protective Measures

We’ve got Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) and Da Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) running into each other, and things are very tense between them. We’ve not really seen Ava and Melinda in scenes a lot since crazy Connie was tormenting them both, so I’m interested to see the exact source of this tension. Plus, Kristen Dimera (Stacy Haiduk) tries to protect her mom, Rachel Blake (Roslyn Gentle). And the question is, is she trying to protect her from Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel)? Because he was going to go inject Rachel with that forget-everything serum. But then he had second thoughts. And he put...

Theresa made her version of amends to Xander and Alex in the Tuesday, March 18 episode of Days of Our Lives. Kayla and Roman tried to distract themselves from this situation where John was missing. Philip got Joy to rethink quitting Titan. Marlena and Steve were on a mission to get vital information from Shane. All in all, after watching this episode, we realized we had more questions than answers.

Five Questions #1 What will Xander do with what he overheard?

For some reason, Philip (John-Pau LavoisierI) asked Stephanie (Abigail Klein) to talk somewhere more private than The Pub, and they ended up on the bench in the middle of Horton Town Square. How private is that?

Again, for some reason, Philip kept re-asking Stephanie if she would keep his forged letter secret. It came as no shock to us that Xander (Paul Telfer) overheard part of their conversation. He overheard them...

Days of our Lives spoilers reveal that Xander Kiriakis may learn about his brother Philip Kiriakis‘s secret. When Philip arrived in Salem, he held a letter from their father claiming he was owed an inheritance. However, the letter is phony. It was an elaborate scheme cooked up by him and his surrogate mother, Vivian Alamain. But they aren’t the only ones who know about the forgery. Kate Roberts is in on it, too. Plus, Stephanie Johnson and Xander’s wife, Sarah Horton, know that Philip lied. But everyone agreed to keep it hush-hush from Dandy Xandy. However, that could all change with one overheard conversation between Stephanie and Philip. Will Xander go off the rails if he finds out he was lied to by everyone, including his wife? There’s no telling what he could do on the NBC Peacock exclusive.

She was sent to the slammer in August 2024 for the role she played in forging Victor Kiriakis’ (John Aniston) will, which was the reason Xand didn’t gain access to his inheritance and Titan, as soon as he should’ve. How explosive will this run-in get? Fans will have to tune in to find out!

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, March 18: Surprise

First, Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal Xander is left in shock by what Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) does. We know Theresa faced the consequences of her scam against Xander. So, we assume this will be her apologizing and trying to make amends in some other way. We hope so, anyway. People are making a habit of scamming Xander out of what’s his. So, he deserves this. Especially since he’s tried even harder to be a better person after his reconciliation with Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey).

As fans know, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) was initially the person who overheard Philip Kiriakis (John Paul-Lavoisier) admit that the letter from Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston) he had that won him 50% of Titan was forged.

She ran and told Sarah Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey), and as Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) would have done something illegal and violent to his brother, both women agreed to keep quiet.

But what if Stephanie spills the beans to Alex?...

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of March 17, 2025, are here! Ej Dimera (Dan Feuerriegel) is haunted by Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney). Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) is keeping a big secret, but she can’t keep it hidden forever.

Also, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and Doug Williams III (Peyton Meyer) play detectives. Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up next week in the Peacock soap opera.

Joy Wesley’s Secret

During the week of March 17, Joy will have a big decision to make. Joy’s pregnancy test was positive but she lied to Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). Maybe Joy isn’t even sure about keeping the baby.

Perhaps Joy needs to process this before sharing the news with others. The last thing Joy needs in her situation is other people telling her what to do instead of letting her make the decisions.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers reveal that Emily O’Brien will be playing dual roles again this years. Of course, Emily will play them at different times once again. Theresa Donovan has just returned in time to help Tate Black (Leo Howard) to deal with Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) pregnancy. Gwen is set to return later in the year.

Theresa Donovan Is Back In Town

O’Brien reveals that she had not intended to return as Theresa. O’Brien says they told her she was returning as Theresa until this storyline ends.

O’Brien admits that she agreed and donned her blond wig and stepped into character. Theresa is about to get caught up on everything she has missed while she has been locked up in prison.

It seems that Theresa will misunderstand the situation and assume that Tate has moved on from Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and is in a relationship with Sophia.

Days of our Lives next two weeks ahead spoilers reveal that Johnny Dimera learns the stunning truth about his father, Ej Dimera. And it’s all about Arnold Feniger and an unfortunate blast from the past.

The Rafe Hernandez lookalike took over for the top cop, ruining his life. Plus, in the past, the doppelganger assaulted Johnny’s mother, Sami Brady. Soon, the truth comes out that Elvis Junior blackmailed his ex-wife into having sex with him.

Johnny goes off the rails when he learns what his father did to his mother. Next, Shawn Brady confides in JJ Deveraux. While Arnold ran amok in Salem, Shawn slept with Jada Hunter one night.

Will she tell her fiance that she had a one-night stand with the hunky detective? Finally, Theresa Donovan can’t believe the pregnancy news on the NBC Peacock exclusive. Does she demand a DNA test?

Days of our...

Characters reacted to various circumstances on the Monday, March 10 episode of Days of Our Lives. As a result, emotions were fierce, and some were even furious.

Raw Reactions A Furious Rafe Hernandez

After Jada (Elia Cantu) gave him the lowdown of what went down from her perspective, Rafe (Galen Gering) understandably had to get answers. More importantly, he had to rough Ej (Dan Feuerriegel) up to get those answers. Of course, Ej wasn’t giving, and Jada stopped him from actually trying to kill the man. But Rafe was rightly furious with Ej, and Ej just kept denying, denying, denying. He knows that Rafe’s memories of the Arnold Feniger (also Galen Gering) era are (mostly) gone.

An Unhinged Rachel Blake

Rachel (Roslyn Gentle) was on a mission to (literally) cut Ava (Tamara Braun) out of the triangle equation, which...

Fans rejoiced at the end of Friday’s Days of Our Lives episode when Emily O’Brien returned as Theresa. As the drama around Tate and Sophia’s baby unfolds, the young man will probably need his mother to guide him. However, Theresa’s known for making extraordinarily bad decisions, so maybe her return will bring more problems than solutions. O’Brien opened up about getting back into action as Theresa and more.

She’s Back in the Wig

Apparently, forging a letter claiming Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) was the true Kiriakis heir doesn’t warrant much jail time in Salem. Theresa’s back, and O’Brien spoke with Soaps.com about getting enmeshed in the current drama as Tate (Leo Howard) and Sophia (Rachel Boyd) try to find an adoptive couple to give their baby to. After Theresa’s last departure, O’Brien was surprised that she would be returning...

‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Theresa Encourages Tate To Get A Paternity Test

Theresa will potentially talk some sense into Tate. She will perhaps encourage him to get a paternity test. The test will prove whether Sophia’s bundle of joy is really his.

While Jada did betray Rafe, it was unknowingly. Still, that will be little comfort for Rafe if and when he learns the truth. Of course, if Jada ends up pregnant,...

Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates tease Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) might insist on a paternity test if she has doubts about Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) telling the truth.

Regarding Tate Black (Leo Howard) being the father of Sophia’s child, with Theresa now out of prison and returning to Salem, she’s in for some significant surprises.

It Sounds Like Tate And Brady Thought It Best To Keep Theresa In The Dark

Up to this moment, Tate and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) have seemingly chosen to keep Theresa in the dark about the ongoing baby turmoil. Revealing the chaos would only complicate Theresa’s time in prison, making it even more challenging for her.
