Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for May 26 – June 6th, 2025 see Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) arrested. We are going to see John Black (Drake Hogestyn) passing away, and Will Horton (Chandler Massey) is back among others.
Monday, May 26th is Memorial Day, but we have a brand new episode of Days anyway. Diving in, we’ve got Marlena (Deidre Hall) at John’s bedside. He is in dire shape, and she’s absolutely distraught that her soulmate is in such terrible condition.
And Steve (Stephen Nichols) says John is a hero for saving those meds so they can get Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) back on his feet and save his life. Things looked really dire for Bo as well on Friday, but we should be getting good news about him this week. Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) is trying very hard to save him.
But John’s injuries are extensive and his life expectancy isn’t good. And we know, of course, that Drake Hogestyn was alive at the time they filmed this and he signed off on everything. The plan was for John to pass away, but in such a way that they could bring him back later if Drake recovered. And of course, we know that he didn’t. This week and next week are going to be just really, really hard, I think, for longtime Days fans. So have your tissues on hand. Already on Friday, it was tearful. It was good material.

Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) focuses on work to try and forget her Xander heartbreak, but things are going to get worse this week. And Maggie Horton (Suzanne Rogers) rips into Xander, and he wants to know if Maggie is threatening him. Yeah, yes, she is. She’s definitely Team Sarah, Team Victoria. And as much as she loves Xander, you know, she’s at a breaking point with him.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Johnny’s Turmoil and Adoption Plans
Tuesday, May 27th. Johnny (Carson Boatman) is absolutely stunned to learn that John is at death’s door, and Chanel (Raven Bowens) is consoling him. Johnny’s really reeling from a lot of issues, and this is going to be a very rough week for him. Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) get the ball rolling on putting her unborn baby up for adoption. Now that Sophia is 18, Tate Black (Leo Howard) is on board. He’s ready to sign away his rights as well. Where is Amy in all this? And how’s she going to react when she finds out what her daughter is doing? Remains to be seen.
Ariana’s Secret and Doug’s Quest
Gabby asks JJ to help her find Ariana Horton (Lane Rosa) but she’s not really missing. She’s in bed with Doug Williams (Bill Hayes) having a really good time celebrating 18. After Ari takes off, and we’re going to see Doug asking Leo (Greg Rikaart) for help. I think he wants to find out who bought Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes)’s necklace from Melinda because Doug is determined to buy it back on Days of our Lives.
Hope for a Miracle on DOOL – John’s Final Days
Abe Carver (James Reynolds) spends time at John’s bedside this week saying what he hopes are not final goodbyes. Abe telling John that he is and always will be his family. Also this week, Steve is really hoping John gets a miracle, but it seems increasingly unlikely that any are in store.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Justice for Phillip – Xander Faces Consequences
Wednesday, May 28th, we’ve got Kate (Lauren Koslow) opening up to Roman (Josh Taylor). Likely about Phillip Kiriakis’ (John-Paul Lavoisier)’s beating and her certainty that Xander (Paul Telfer) did the deed. And Kate is correct. And there will be some form of justice this week.
Meanwhile, Johnny finds out he cannot run from his problems, nor can he hide. Carrie Brady is back to support Marlena and to see John. Family continues to filter in this week. Friends and loved ones to say goodbye to the beloved Black family patriarch.
Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) faces questions from DA Belle about Xander and the brutal attack on Phillip. Then on Thursday, May 29th, Julie and Maggie do some catching up. She’s going to tell Julie about Xander and Sarah’s split. And I wonder if Maggie will also tell Julie that she is pretty certain that Xander beat Phillip.
Belle updates Jada (Elia Cantu) on her findings. And it looks like she gives her a green light to proceed because Jada arrests Xander. And that’s obviously for Phillip’s assault as Kayla and Brady watch him hauled off. And yeah, looks like Alex might have told the truth, which is fair.
Hospital Board Drama and Kristen’s Denial on Days of Our Lives
Xander and EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) both made their pitch to the hospital board, and it’s a waiting game to see what offer they accept, but Jada putting cuffs on Xander throws a wrinkle into it and could take Titan out of the running. EJ may win by default.
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) refuses a request from Brady and it may be about Rachel (Finley Rose Slater) related to John’s impending death or could be about their kids’ therapy and issues, which Kristen continues to be in denial about.
Will Horton Returns: The Week Culminates in Tragedy
On Friday, May 30th, we’ve got Johnny in emotional turmoil. He’s feeling all alone. And John dying and Johnny having held a gun on his dad EJ may push him towards a breakdown. Clearly, whatever he’s going through isn’t resolved yet.
Will Horton is back on Friday. He heads over to see Marlena and John and her hubby is still alive at that point, but things are getting increasingly dire. And in the last moments of Friday’s episode, we may see John pass away. This is definitely a not-to-miss day. If you can only watch one episode of Days this week, make sure it’s Friday.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: The EJ Shooting Mystery Deepens
Kristen confronts EJ. And this likely comes after little Rachel tells her mom she saw Johnny with a gun in his hand and arguing with EJ the night of the shooting. But did Rachel pick up the gun and do a bad thing? We’re getting closer to finding out who fired at EJ that night.
Salem Mourns: John Black’s Funeral and Legacy
The week of June 2nd through the 6th, we should see Salem losing John Black as he succumbs to his injuries from the lab explosion. Everyone is gathering from Will (Chandler Massey) to Carrie. Paul and more are soon joined by more family and friends. Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney)’s coming.
Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) and Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) and Bo should be on his feet soon after getting his miracle cure thanks to John’s heroism. We will soon say goodbye in a very sad funeral. Some of these scenes were in the big Day of Days promo. I think they’re some of the last scenes that still have to play out from the promo.
And there’s a scene in particular I’m thinking of with people outside and Brady offering a toast to John’s memory. Get a big old box of Kleenex because these two weeks are going to be absolutely heartbreaking. EJ’s confrontation with Kristen could trigger more memories to come loose that night.
Did he see Rachel right after he and Johnny were arguing? EJ clearly feels like his son knows something he’s not saying, but I’m not convinced that Johnny actually fired the gun at EJ. I don’t think so. We’ll find out. More to tell. And Johnny may have no idea who tried to kill his dad but is just feeling guilty for even holding a gun on him. Marlena is crushed, and friends and family rally around her. Julie should be a key supporter since she is still struggling daily with losing Doug but is finally feeling a little better and getting some tools to manage her grief.
Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers: Trouble for Doug and Phillip’s Fate
Doug may have to deal with his debt situation sooner than later because it looks like bad people have an eye on Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis). But will pretty newcomer Ari be a distraction? Phillip should wake up soon, but will he enjoy finding out Xander was arrested for assaulting him? Or will Phillip save Xander from serving time?
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Sarah’s Future and Xander’s Fight for Victoria
Meanwhile, Sarah is stunned at Xander’s arrest and determined to protect Victoria with Mama Maggie’s full support. But if Xander is on the loose, which I’m guessing he will be, we’ll see him fighting for his daughter. But having given up on Sarah, Xander indeed feels like little Victoria is all he has left.
Can he and Phillip find peace, though? We’ll find out. And don’t forget his ex Gwen (Emily O’Brien) is just a few weeks away from her arrival back in Salem, and somebody else might catch Sarah’s eye as she reels from her breakup from her soulmate.
