Days of Our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, July 8, 2025, reveal a high-stakes day in Salem. Baby Tesoro faces a hospital scare, Gwen returns flaunting Julie’s missing necklace, and Ari goes rogue to chase forbidden love. Elsewhere, romance blooms, but looming storms may soon shatter every moment of joy.
Baby Tesoro’s Scare Shakes Leo to the Core
Baby Tesoro’s relentless crying throws Leo Stark into full panic mode at the Hernandez home. Though Gabi tries to calm both baby and Leo, his nerves spiral out of control. The baby’s cries stir up deep-rooted fears in Leo—fears about failing as a father, and echoes of his unstable past.
Overwhelmed and fearing a serious health issue, Leo rushes Tesoro to the hospital. Every second in that waiting room drips with anxiety. Thankfully, Dr. Kayla Johnson steps in with calm reassurance. Her check-up rules out major concerns and hints it may just be new-parent jitters.
But the damage is done emotionally. Leo can’t help but wonder if the baby sensed his doubts. Guilt, insecurity, and fear continue to plague him as he questions his ability to raise Tesoro the right way. Even with Javi trying to reassure him, Leo’s emotional storm might only just be beginning.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Gwen Returns—and She’s Wearing Trouble
Julie Williams is left speechless when Gwen Rizczech resurfaces in Salem wearing the necklace that vanished months ago. The heirloom holds deep sentimental value, and Julie isn’t about to let it go without answers. Her emotions swing between shock and fury as she confronts Gwen and demands an explanation.
Gwen spins a tale about how the necklace came into her possession—but her story raises more questions than it answers. Chad DiMera quickly joins the scene, trying to get to the bottom of this sudden reappearance. Gwen’s smirk hints that she’s here for more than small talk or souvenirs.
Julie doesn’t trust her one bit, and tensions rise over ownership and motives. Is Gwen back to stir up trouble, or is she playing a longer game? One thing’s for sure—she won’t give up that necklace without a fight, and her reappearance is about to ripple through the DiMera family once more.
A Tense Reunion for Gwen and Leo
After the hospital drama, Leo tries to ground himself with a walk through the town square. But what he finds instead is a ghost from the past—Gwen, standing there like a living shock. The air thickens instantly. There’s tension, awkwardness, and more than a little suspicion in their reunion.
Leo quickly notices the necklace around Gwen’s neck—the same one Julie was desperate to recover. He doesn’t hide his surprise or skepticism. Gwen, meanwhile, deflects with charm, but the discomfort lingers. They both remember how their last encounter ended—and not on friendly terms.
Still, despite all the baggage, Leo might want a fresh start. A part of him longs for the friendship they once shared. Whether Gwen is willing to reopen that door is another matter. Her loyalty has always been questionable—and her return might come with dangerous strings attached.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Ari Goes Rogue in Search of Doug
Young Ari Horton decides to take matters into her own hands after Doug Williams III pushes her away. She can sense something’s wrong and refuses to accept his distance as the final word. Determined to find him and uncover the truth, Ari slips away from watchful eyes.
But her escape doesn’t go unnoticed for long. Rafe Hernandez spots her sneaking off and intervenes. Ari is caught mid-mission, leaving her with some serious explaining to do. Still, her passion is clear—she wants answers, and she isn’t afraid to break a few rules to get them.
Unaware of Doug’s secret loan shark troubles, Ari may be walking into danger. Her persistence could trigger bigger problems ahead, especially as she digs into something Doug hoped to bury. Salem’s younger generation is growing bolder—and consequences are coming.
Fireworks and a Love Confession
In a refreshing break from all the chaos, Alex Kiriakis and Stephanie Johnson bask in love. Their date night, complete with fireworks and a cozy picnic, becomes a moment of emotional clarity. Alex opens up and confesses his love, taking their relationship to a more serious level.
Stephanie is clearly touched. Their chemistry continues to deepen, and this heartfelt moment only cements their bond. The world seems to fade around them as they embrace their new chapter together, hopeful and glowing.
But in Salem, happiness is always temporary. With “One Stormy Night” casting a long shadow, this couple’s joy may soon be tested. The writers are building something here—and it may end with heartbreak if they aren’t careful.
