As per Days of Our Lives Recap for Monday, March 24, 2025, romance sizzled, secrets deepened, and the necklace drama refused to die down. Tate and Holly’s sweet night hit a rough patch, while Gabi, JJ, and Leo faced tangled emotions and unexpected twists. From candlelit moments to awkward interruptions and explosive arguments, Salem saw it all on Monday.
JJ Plays Detective, Julie Plays Bold
Julie burst into JJ’s orbit demanding justice. She wanted Melinda arrested for wearing the stolen necklace. JJ wasn’t ready to act without proof. While Julie believed it was definitely Alice’s necklace, JJ reminded her they couldn’t rush things.
Meanwhile, Leo tried convincing Melinda to hand over the necklace. She didn’t flinch. Instead, she tossed back threats like she always does. Melinda later waved off Julie and JJ’s accusations at the police station with a smug goodbye.
Julie attempted to bluff her way into getting Melinda to crack, but it didn’t work. JJ kept his focus and insisted real evidence was necessary. For now, the case stayed cold.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Gabi Gives Javi a Chance
Over at Chez Hernandez, Gabi arrived expecting JJ—and instead found a romantic setup and Javi. They cleared the air after their earlier argument about Leo. Javi made a solid case in Leo’s defense.
He reminded Gabi that she had a softer side. She wasn’t convinced but appreciated his honesty. Javi explained how Leo had declared his love. That touched Gabi just enough for her to agree—reluctantly—to give Leo a chance.
Then Leo arrived and unknowingly ruined the vibe. The dinner setup? All his doing. Gabi was furious. She and Leo traded sharp words, ending with Leo promising he’d try not to mess things up again.
As JJ called Gabi for dinner, she quickly left. Leo, still shaken, admitted to Javi that he jokes when nervous. Javi didn’t argue. It hadn’t helped one bit.
Tate and Holly: Romance vs Reality
Tate and Holly’s movie night quickly turned into a make-out session. But when Tate suggested they head to his room, Holly asked for water instead. Before anything else could happen, a text from Doug ruined the mood.
Doug called and suggested meeting in the park to talk about the necklace. Holly jumped at the chance, even though the phone call could’ve worked just fine. Tate wasn’t impressed. He rolled his eyes and kept quiet—for now.
Later, Doug assured Julie that Melinda hadn’t ratted them out. Julie promised she’d keep digging for the truth. Meanwhile, Tate warned Holly. He believed Doug was trouble. This wasn’t about jealousy—he was genuinely worried. But Holly brushed it off. She wasn’t interested in hearing it. Not yet.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Sweet Moments and Missed Kisses
While chaos unfolded elsewhere, JJ and Gabi enjoyed a peaceful dinner. They toasted their future and promised to spend more time together. Back at the Hernandez house, Javi and Leo skipped the meal and headed straight for intimacy.
Over at Cat’s place, Chad updated her about the fundraiser drama. She had a solution—thanks to her connections. But when talk turned to her sister’s attempts at matchmaking, things got awkward. A hot dog and mustard moment nearly led to a kiss, but Chad left before it happened.
As the episode wrapped, Tate called Julie. He had new information about the stolen necklace. Salem’s drama is far from over. Secrets, love, and lies are all tangled together.
