The October 23, 2025 episode of Days of Our Lives is one fans won’t soon forget. Packed with emotional confessions, shocking returns, and life-altering decisions, today’s episode brought Salem to a boiling point. Every scene felt like a powder keg ready to explode, leaving viewers glued to their screens and eager to see what’s next.

The episode begins with Chad DiMera still reeling from Abigail’s recent journal discovery. Her old notes hinted that someone within the DiMera family may have orchestrated events leading to her past breakdown — and Chad is determined to uncover who it was. His brother Stefan swears he had no part in it, but his uneasy expression tells another story. Their confrontation escalates quickly, with Stefan warning Chad to stop “digging up the past,” which only fuels Chad’s suspicion. By the end of their tense exchange, Chad vows to expose the truth — even if it means destroying his own family.

Meanwhile, Nicole Walker faces an emotional moment when she finds a hidden box of letters written by Eric years ago. The heartfelt words reveal that Eric never truly stopped loving her, even during her darkest days. Moved to tears, Nicole begins to question her current relationship with EJ DiMera. Their recent arguments and EJ’s growing jealousy have left cracks in their foundation. When EJ catches Nicole reading Eric’s letters, he lashes out in anger, accusing her of betraying him emotionally. Nicole doesn’t deny her feelings — instead, she admits she’s still torn between the two men.

Over at University Hospital, Sarah Horton receives devastating news from Kayla. Sarah’s latest tests reveal complications from her previous pregnancy that could make it difficult for her to conceive again. The moment hits her like a ton of bricks, and she breaks down in Rex’s arms. Despite their rocky history, Rex promises to stand by her, vowing that they’ll face whatever comes together. However, Sarah’s expression hints that she’s not entirely convinced their relationship can survive the weight of this heartbreak.
