The first full week of November is shaping up to be one of the most explosive and emotionally charged stretches Days of Our Lives has delivered in years. From shocking DNA revelations

and tangled love triangles to dangerous experiments and identity-swapping deception, the week of November 3–7, 2025 promises to shake Salem to its very core.

Let’s break down what’s coming next week in this must-see lineup of chaos, romance, and heartbreak.

Aaron’s Paternity Bombshell Rocks Salem

The week begins with Aaron finally receiving the long-awaited results of a paternity test that could change everything. The burning question: Is he truly the father of young Zoro?

This revelation doesn’t just affect Aaron — it has ripple effects across several families. Chanel and Johnny, who’ve long dreamed of expanding their family, now face a heartbreaking uncertainty. Aaron’s decision — whether to fight for custody, step back, or pursue adoption — will have far-reaching emotional consequences.

If the results confirm Aaron as the biological father, he will have to face difficult questions about guardianship, responsibility, and his future role in the child’s life. But if another man turns out to be Zoro’s biological parent, Salem’s residents will be left reeling from the unexpected twist — and entirely new family ties could be revealed.

No matter the outcome, one thing’s for certain: Salem’s family dynamics will never be the same.

Ari’s Dangerous Love Triangle

Elsewhere in town, Ari Horton finds herself at the center of a passionate and complicated love triangle. After her deepening connection with Theo Carver, sparks begin to fly — but then, the mysterious and dangerously charming Liam arrives in Salem, throwing her emotions into chaos.

Theo represents stability and safety, while Liam embodies the wild unpredictability that daytime drama thrives on. Ari’s heart is torn between the comfort of what she knows and the excitement of the unknown. But as her connection with Liam intensifies, she risks losing herself to a dangerous game of temptation and deceit.

Will Ari choose passion over peace? Or will this emotional tug-of-war destroy all three of them?

EJ DiMera’s Sinister Experiment

While romance burns across Salem, a darker storyline unfolds in the shadows. EJ DiMera, ever the calculating schemer, prepares to unveil the next phase of his secret laboratory project. With the dedication ceremony for the Mike Horton Free Clinic approaching, EJ’s clandestine activities grow increasingly suspicious — and possibly lethal.

Rumors swirl about sinister experiments, hidden agendas, and moral boundaries crossed beyond redemption. As Salem’s 60th anniversary celebrations kick off, the timing couldn’t be more ominous. Could EJ be using the celebration as a smokescreen for something far more sinister?

And when Leo begins poking around EJ’s secret lab, his curiosity could turn deadly. Viewers may soon see Leo pay the ultimate price for getting too close to EJ’s dangerous secrets.

Theo and Liam’s Explosive Past

Tension escalates further when Theo and Liam’s paths collide — revealing a dark history between them. Could Liam be the very bully who tormented Theo in high school? If so, this long-buried animosity is about to erupt into full-blown confrontation.

Now older, wiser, and no longer afraid, Theo is ready to stand up to his past. But old wounds rarely heal cleanly, and this confrontation could spiral into violence — especially with Ari caught in the middle. The stakes are emotional, personal, and painfully raw.

Jeremy’s Digital Romance — and Possible Trouble

Meanwhile, Jeremy Horton takes a modern approach to love by joining a dating app. What begins as an innocent search for companionship could lead to shocking consequences. Will Jeremy match with someone new — or could this digital romance connect him to someone from Salem’s past with a dangerous secret?

Names like Gwen Rizczech and Cat are already being whispered among fans, as viewers speculate about Jeremy’s next romantic chapter. But in Salem, even a harmless dating profile can turn into a nightmare.

Andre DiMera: The Ultimate Betrayal

No week in Salem would be complete without a DiMera family bombshell — and this one might be the most shocking of all.

Rumors swirl that Andre DiMera has secretly replaced his twin brother Tony, taking over his identity in a twisted act of deception. If true, that means Anna — and everyone who thought they were dealing with Tony — has been unwittingly living alongside Andre all this time.

Imagine the heartbreak when Anna realizes the man she loves has been his villainous brother in disguise. The fallout from this revelation will shake the entire DiMera dynasty and could ignite a family war unlike anything Salem has seen in years.

Stephanie’s Mystery Novel Turns Frighteningly Real

In another shocking twist, Stephanie releases a new novel about a writer who mysteriously vanishes on Halloween night. But fiction soon bleeds into reality when Stephanie herself disappears, leaving Salem in panic.

Could her new book have inspired a copycat crime — or is someone trying to silence her for good? The eerie parallels between Stephanie’s plot and her real-life vanishing send shockwaves through town.

As the search for Stephanie intensifies, Alex and Jeremy find themselves at odds. Alex suspects Jeremy may be involved, but could Jeremy actually become the hero who saves her? This gripping mystery will push both men to their emotional limits.

Salem’s 60th Anniversary Week: A Celebration of Secrets

The week of November 3–7 also marks Days of Our Lives’ historic 60th anniversary celebration — and what better way to commemorate six decades of drama than with a week filled with scandal, romance, and danger?

Expect nostalgic callbacks, emotional cameos, and shocking twists that pay tribute to the show’s legendary legacy while setting the stage for its thrilling future. From paternity bombshells to disappearances and betrayals, next week will remind fans exactly why Days of Our Lives continues to reign as one of television’s most enduring dramas.

Salem’s secrets are surfacing, loyalties are breaking, and no one will emerge unscathed.

This is the week that changes everything.
