Let’s dive into the juicy details of what’s coming next!
Chanel’s Breaking Point
After everything she’s been through, Chanel Dupree is at her breaking point. The revelation of Johnny DiMera’s affair with Joy Wesley has rocked Chanel to her core. Having been in a relationship with Johnny for some time, Chanel never suspected her husband could betray her in such a way.
When Johnny tries to call and reach out to Chanel, hoping for some form of reconciliation, she immediately rejects him. In a powerful move, Chanel tells Johnny she has nothing to say to him and hangs up. This moment of defiance is just the beginning of Chanel’s emotional journey as she processes the betrayal.
Things escalate further when Chanel spots Joy in the Square. She doesn’t hold back. Chanel, who has always considered Joy a friend, is now filled with rage and disbelief. The once compassionate and understanding woman has been completely transformed by the painful knowledge of the affair.
What follows is a confrontation that will go down in Days of Our Lives history as one of the most intense face-offs between two women. If looks could kill, Joy would be six feet under after Chanel glares at her with unrestrained fury. No longer able to hold back, Chanel unleashes her anger on Joy, demanding answers and expressing how deeply betrayed she feels.
This confrontation will leave viewers on the edge of their seats as Chanel comes to terms with the betrayal, and Joy is forced to face the consequences of her actions.
Abe and Rafe vs. Arnold
Elsewhere in Salem, EJ DiMera has found himself in yet another morally questionable alliance, but this time, his new partner could have serious implications for the power dynamics in town.
The tensions surrounding Rafe Hernandez’s disappearance and Arnold Feniger’s impersonation of him have put both EJ and Rafe on the same side of a common enemy—Arnold. The two men, whose paths have rarely crossed in the past, now share a common goal: to eliminate Arnold, the man who is impersonating Rafe and wreaking havoc on their lives.
Always the mastermind of manipulation and power plays, EJ may have his own personal reasons for wanting Arnold out of the picture. However, his interest in working with Rafe adds a new layer of intrigue. For Rafe, who is trapped in a basement somewhere in Salem, the idea of teaming up with EJ may seem strange, but the need to stop Arnold is greater than any differences they may have.
Will EJ and Rafe work together effectively, or will their personal agendas get in the way of taking down Arnold? As this story unfolds, viewers will watch to see if the duo can form a cohesive plan or if Arnold will outmaneuver them both.
Marlena’s Advice to Belle

The temptation to dive into a relationship with EJ—someone who has always had a magnetic presence in her life—is strong. However, Marlena Evans, Belle’s mother, has some important advice for her daughter.
Instead of offering encouragement, Marlena’s advice is rooted in caution. Concerned that Belle might be headed down a dangerous path by getting involved with EJ, Marlena warns her to think carefully about her choices.
With Belle still grappling with the fallout from her recent past and EJ’s own tumultuous history in Salem, Marlena’s words carry a weight of wisdom that Belle cannot ignore.
Will Belle listen to her mother’s advice or be drawn into EJ’s web of charm and allure once again?
