Salem is heading into the weekend with an extra dose of classic nostalgia and heart-pounding intrigue. On the Friday, September 25, 2026 episode of Days of Our Lives, Peacock viewers are in for a packed show featuring a long-awaited romantic reunion months in the making, suspicious legal maneuvers, and an alarming message delivered from iconic supercouple Bo Brady and Hope Williams Brady.
Disturbing News from Bo and Hope Reaches Steve
Bo and Hope are still out there sailing the world, doing what they have done best since the 1980s. However, despite their endless nautical adventures, they always make sure to keep in touch with their nearest and dearest back home in Salem. That connection brings serious worry this week when the globetrotting duo contacts Steve “Patch” Johnson to deliver some deeply disturbing news.
The unexpected warning naturally leaves fans wondering what could be wrong. Could there be a devastating relapse concerning Bo’s health? Dr. Rolf used a drug to bring Lexie back to life that was derived from Versavix—the very same treatment used to cure Bo’s sepsis. Viewers are left questioning if that drug could have stopped working, raising the terrifying possibility that Bo might end up in the same condition as Lexie and face death once again.
Alternatively, Bo and Hope’s globe-trotting could have led them straight into a brand-new mystery filled with cryptic clues. It seems possible that they might be the ones to somehow uncover Dominic Marino’s birth certificate, which Steve subsequently passes along when he gives Marlena Evans some news. On that document, the father is officially listed as Stefano DiMera, while the identity of the mother remains a tantalizing mystery that viewers will just have to wait to see unravel.
Philip and Gabi Give Their Romance Another Chance
Meanwhile, things are finally looking up on the romantic front for Philip Kiriakis and Gabi Hernandez. Philip previously felt completely deflated after returning home from Monte Carlo, only to discover that the family estate had been sold right out from under them simply because he never bothered to check if his text message had gone through—a blunder where a simple phone call definitely would have served him better.
Fortunately, Philip managed to secure the funds needed to rescue Titan. After a bit of persuasion, he successfully convinced Maggie Horton Kiriakis to let him use the money to pay off EJ DiMera’s absurd loan. With the corporate crisis handled, Philip and Gabi decide to give their romance another shot. After months of buildup and standing by each other through the chaos, their decision to reunite brings a rare bright spot to an otherwise tense week.
Kayla and Sarah Target EJ Over Suspicious Lawsuit
Over at the hospital, Kayla Johnson and Sarah Horton gather to carefully dissect the details surrounding the lawsuit brought against Sarah. Kayla has a strong suspicion that EJ DiMera is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Kayla’s instincts are right on the money. While Rita was technically the one who initiated the legal filing, EJ has absolutely no qualms about moving full steam ahead with it to further his own agenda. As Sarah and Kayla try to navigate this legal trap, EJ’s ruthless willingness to weaponize the situation poses a real threat to everyone involved.
What do you think is wrong with Bo and Hope, and how do you feel about the possibility of Marlena and Stefano sharing a secret child?
