As Salem enters Halloween week, the town is about to be rocked by explosive revelations, emotional meltdowns, and power struggles that will reshape family loyalties and shatter long-held illusions.

From shocking disappearances to buried secrets clawing their way to the surface, this upcoming week on Days of Our Lives promises one of the most dramatic chapters yet.

Buckle up, because October 27th through 31st is about to test Salem like never before.

Tony DiMera Vanishes — And the Truth May Be Far More Terrifying Than Anyone Imagined

The week begins with news that sends shockwaves through the most powerful family in Salem. Anna DiMera, frantic and on the verge of collapse, calls EJ with a horrifying revelation:
Tony has disappeared.

No note. No explanation. No clues.

Just silence.

But this disappearance is not merely a missing-person case — it threatens to unravel years of hidden truths, because whispers are growing louder that the man people believed was Tony may never have been Tony at all.

For months now, longtime viewers and Salem residents alike have noticed that “Tony” has been… different. Colder. Sharper. Calculating. Strategic. Less interested in peace — and more determined to pull strings, expand power, and manipulate from the shadows.

These actions resemble someone else entirely:

Andre DiMera — the master manipulator who was supposed to be dead.

What if Andre didn’t die?
What if he has been living behind Tony’s face?
What if Salem has been playing chess with the wrong opponent all along?

The implications are chilling.

The Shadow of Stefano Looms — A Resurrection Plot Reawakens the Past

As EJ digs deeper, he uncovers whispers about secret experiments tied to the infamous Dr. Wilhelm Rolf — the mad scientist responsible for some of the wildest resurrections in Salem history.

The goal this time?

To bring Stefano DiMera back.

Not symbolically. Not spiritually.
But physically. Fully. Permanently.

A cloned body?
A consciousness transfer?
A hybrid engineered identity?

No one knows the exact method yet — but the mere idea is enough to send Salem into a panic.

Because when Stefano rises, entire lives fall.

Sarah Horton Breaks — Rage Room Therapy Becomes the Meltdown of the Year

Meanwhile, heartbreak and fury tear through another corner of Salem. Sarah Horton has reached her breaking point after learning the devastating truth about Xander’s violent attack on Philip. The betrayal, the secrecy, the brutality — it has shattered what little trust she had left.

Trying to help her cope, Brady Black takes her somewhere unexpected — a rage room.

A place where she can destroy everything in sight.

And Sarah doesn’t hold back.

With every swing, every crash, every shattered object — she releases years of pain:

• Lies that broke her heart
• Promises that crumbled
• Love that turned toxic

It is raw. Emotional. Unfiltered.
And it may be the moment Sarah finally lets Xander go for good.

But the fallout is just beginning.

Maggie vs. Xander — A Family Divide That Could Turn Deadly

As Sarah unleashes her fury, Maggie Kiriakis confronts Xander — and the confrontation is explosive. Maggie has been patient, compassionate, forgiving — but now she is done.

She vows to use every ounce of her power to send Xander to prison.

But Xander counters with a threat that shakes Maggie to her core:

If he goes down…
Philip goes down with him.

With blackmail now in play, the Kiriakis family stands on the edge of a complete implosion.
Loyalty, justice, love — everything is now weaponized.

Abe & Theo Carver — Painful Truths, Old Wounds, and a Troubled Past Returns

Abe and Theo face their own emotional storm as Abe struggles to understand why Theo has been keeping secrets. When Theo finally confesses that Abe has become difficult to talk to, it forces Abe to confront a painful truth — even love can become suffocating.

But the tension deepens when Abe becomes a literacy mentor for Liam Seleko — the very same young man who tormented Theo throughout school.

Liam’s past is messy. Traumatic. Undersupported.
He is now desperate for a second chance.

But Theo remembers the bullying.
The humiliation.
The fear.

Can healing occur when wounds have never healed?

This storyline is not about villains or victims — it’s about whether redemption is truly possible.

Halloween Sparks a Paternity Firestorm — Leo and Aaron Face the Truth

As Halloween festivities fill Salem with costumes and celebration, Leo Stark finds himself in a deeply emotional and unexpected confrontation with Aaron Green — one that changes everything.

The subject?

Baby Tesoro.

With Tate now ruled out as the biological father, Aaron believes he may be the real father — and the timeline supports it.

If the test confirms it:

• Leo could lose the son he loves
• Aaron could gain a child he never knew he had
• Sophia’s manipulations will explode under the spotlight

The conversation is tense, emotional, and life-altering — and it marks the beginning of a custody and identity battle that will tear relationships apart.

Julie’s Bookstore Becomes Salem’s Haven of Hope — And Conflict

In the midst of chaos, Julie Williams launches her literacy program — offering second chances to those society has cast aside. It is compassionate, powerful, and deeply human.

But with Liam as the first participant, the program becomes emotionally loaded — challenging the Carvers, testing Salem’s capacity for forgiveness, and reminding everyone that healing is never simple.
