This Days of Our Lives Recap for March 27, 2025, brings you all the emotional explosions and unexpected twists from an unforgettable day in Salem. Relationships were tested, secrets were exposed, and alliances shifted like quicksand. Let’s dive into the drama.
Holly Blows Up as Tate’s Secret Comes Out
Things started off tense when Holly rushed into Doug’s room with anger in her eyes. Julie had already told Maggie about the necklace — and it came from Tate. Doug tried to calm her down, even took the blame, but Holly wasn’t having it. After telling Doug he could stay — since Maggie didn’t say otherwise — Holly stormed out, furious at her boyfriend for what she saw as a betrayal.
Before Holly could confront him, Tate had other problems. JJ showed up on official business with questions about the necklace. Now that the police were involved, Tate worried Doug might get arrested if charges were pressed. JJ made it clear — this wasn’t just about family drama anymore. With tensions rising, Tate had no idea his day was about to get worse.
Just as JJ left, Holly arrived. Their confrontation was explosive. She demanded to know why he snitched on Doug. Tate claimed he did it to protect her, but Holly called him out. She believed he wanted to hurt Doug from the start. When Tate found out Holly gave Doug money, things escalated further. Holly pointed to his jealousy and history with Doug. Then he admitted he talked to the police. That was the final straw. “You and me? We’re done,” she said — and she meant it.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Sophia and Doug’s Flirty Exchange
While emotions flared elsewhere, Doug visited Sophia at the Bistro to apply for a job. Their conversation quickly turned personal. Sophia recognized Doug’s name, and after a few teasing insults aimed at Tate, she hinted Holly’s breakup could benefit Doug.
Doug didn’t let that slide. He noticed how eager Sophia was to hear about Holly and Tate’s fallout. Could she be interested in Tate? She didn’t exactly deny it, keeping things interesting in Salem’s young love department.
Trouble Hits Gabi at DiMera
At DiMera, Gabi was thrilled over EJ getting exposed in The Spectator. But her celebration didn’t last long. Melinda rushed in with news — the article also targeted Kristen, and now DiMera’s reputation was crumbling.
Stocks were falling. Subsidiaries like Gabi Chic were suddenly at risk. Melinda advised silence. “No comment” was Gabi’s new PR strategy. Before they could worry too much, JJ showed up asking about the necklace. He confirmed Doug’s involvement and demanded it be returned. But Melinda refused. She had sold it — and wasn’t naming the buyer.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Sarah’s Lie Puts Stephanie in the Hot Seat
Back at Stephanie’s apartment, Sarah showed up in a panic. With Alex home, she scrambled for a cover story about a hospital fundraiser. Once he left, the real story came out. Sarah wanted Stephanie to lie — to say she’d hooked up with Philip. Stephanie was stunned. This lie could destroy her relationship with Alex, and the secret had nothing to do with her.
Sarah tried guilt-tripping her, even mentioning baby Victoria. But Stephanie pushed back, refusing to play along. The pressure was on — and the truth was dangerously close to coming out.
Things blew up again when Xander confronted Philip at the Kiriakis mansion. He accused him of sleeping with Stephanie — and before Philip could correct him, Alex walked in and heard it all. Alex was livid. He grabbed Philip and threatened him before Xander stepped in to separate them. Philip promised to stay away from Stephanie, but the fallout had already hit. Alex stormed off, feeling betrayed and heartbroken. The damage may be irreversible.
Doug and Sophia Try to Move On
Later, Sophia and Doug had a heart-to-heart. They both said they were over their crushes — Doug on Holly, and Sophia on Tate. But the tension between them lingered. They insisted they wanted what’s best for their former flames, but the glances they exchanged said otherwise. It’s never that simple in Salem.
The day wrapped with Holly delivering the final blow to Tate. She laid it all out — the jealousy, the lies, the guilt. Being with him had become exhausting. She told him love isn’t supposed to feel like this. No more stress, no more second chances. It was over — for real this time.
Days of Our Lives Recap: Stephanie Comes Clean
As the dust settled, Alex returned to Stephanie’s place, still reeling. He asked for the truth — and this time, she gave it. Yes, there was a secret involving Philip… but it wasn’t what he thought. Whether Alex believes her is another story entirely.
