Sami and Rafe Rekindle Their Flame
Old feelings surge back to the surface when Sami Brady and Rafe Hernandez find themselves in close quarters. The tension doesn’t last long. The former flames share a kiss, giving in to the passion they’ve been avoiding for too long. It’s not just a fleeting moment, though. Sparks fly, and soon after, the two are back in bed, falling into old habits. But can this reunion survive the chaos surrounding them?
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Maggie’s Fury Explodes Over Vivian’s Return
Over at the Kiriakis mansion, things get downright hostile. Maggie Kiriakis is shocked to find Vivian Alamain living under her roof following her prison release. Furious, Maggie labels her a “vampire” and makes it clear she won’t tolerate her presence. She warns Philip that Vivian better be gone before she comes back down the stairs. The showdown marks the beginning of a bitter battle—and Maggie’s not backing down.
Vivian isn’t one to go down quietly. After being snubbed by Philip, she turns to Xander Kiriakis with damning news. She claims Victor Kiriakis never wrote the letter Philip had used to secure his position. With the forgery exposed, Xander’s anger boils over. He feels betrayed and ready to strike. Vivian’s actions might set off a chain reaction that threatens the Kiriakis legacy.
As the truth begins to unravel, Sarah Kiriakis struggles to keep her part in the lie hidden. She may act clueless, but it’s clear she knows more than she admits. If her deception comes to light, she could lose everything—especially Xander’s trust. The question now is: how long can she keep the act going?
JJ Confronts Gabi About EJ’s Shooting
Meanwhile, JJ Deveraux makes a bold move. He finally confronts Gabi Hernandez, believing she’s hiding something about EJ DiMera’s shooting. He points out she had a motive, the opportunity, and no alibi. Gabi, furious, lashes out at JJ, denying any involvement. However, her reaction raises more questions than answers. Is Gabi telling the truth—or just covering her tracks?
Despite Gabi’s protests, her secrets are catching up to her. We already know she showed up at the DiMera mansion with a gun. But was she the one who pulled the trigger? Or is someone else hiding in the shadows, responsible for sending EJ to the hospital? JJ won’t rest until he finds out—and neither will we.

Marlena refuses to let go. Her instincts tell her John Black is still in trouble. While Steve thinks they need to regroup, Marlena remains determined. She won’t rest until she brings John home and uncovers the full truth. The search may be paused, but Marlena’s fight is far from over.
