Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers July 21-Aug 1: Gabi’s Sinister Scheme & Sarah’s Frantic Panic

Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for July 21-August 1, 2025 see Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) is plotting and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) panics.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Gabi Needs to Go Home?
On Monday, July 21st, we’ve got Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) searching for Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and Ari Hernandez (Marissa Reyes) after Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) sends them info based on the photo. Looks like she’s narrowed it down.
They are on the way and set to save them. Meanwhile, the girls aren’t sitting still. Holly and Ari are desperate to escape because they’re not sure if anyone is coming for them. Ari tries to slither out through a duct once they wrestle a great off. She wants to get help, but we’ll see if she gets stuck.
Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) comforts Gabi, who is frantic to get kidnapped Ari back. Of course, she’s upset. Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) comforts her. He said he would put out a reward for any information, and he advised Gabi to just go home and wait instead of trying to force herself to work, which was what Rafe advised her to do.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Can Xander be Swayed?
Xander and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) argue at the office. They continue to not see eye to eye and bicker. But I do wonder if baby Victoria Kiriakis is going to like Uncle Philip. If she does, that might actually sway Xander to soften on him a little bit since Victoria is going to be up at the office until he and Sarah Horton work things out. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) has more harsh things to say to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart). I can’t really blame Gwen right? You know, whether you like her or not, what Leo did was so dastardly.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Intense Drama and Kidnapping Rescue Missions in Late July
Tuesday, July 22nd. Sarah is stressed out about Xander trying to get full custody of Victoria. I understand Sarah’s concern, but she also knows Xander would never hurt Victoria. And by denying Xander any visits at all, she’s kind of pushed him to this point. You know, she is playing with someone that she knows is quite the villain.
Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) freaks out on Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). It may be about her novel. I wonder if Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) said something else to her. Plus, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is really annoying Kayla and it sounds like more drama at University Hospital. He’s already making budget cuts. Maybe EJ is proposing more radical things that Kayla does not like at all.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Tate is Clueless
Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) is there for Tate Black, who of course was worried about Holly Jonas. And he’s also frantic about Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) being in labor all the way in Chicago, where she’s supposedly meeting with adoptive parents. And of course, Tate Black has no idea that Sophia has been lying to him. Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) has another idea for Sophia and they plan to head back to Salem without her wearing the baby bump, but with a big tall tale to tell.
Custody Battles and Hospital Drama: Key Storylines in Days of Our Lives July Episodes
On Wednesday, July 23rd, we have Holly and Ari really, really mad about being kidnapped, and they chew out Doug Williams (Payton Meyers) over it. Now, in defense of him slightly, he did try to get Ari to back away from him once they sent those photos and everything. Holly Jonas not so much, but Ari more so. But then again, Holly Jonas was already interested in Tate. And by the way, Payton Meyers’ run as Doug ends this week. I do like him. I’m a fan of his work.
I don’t necessarily feel like they did a great job creating a character for him and especially for it to be so short term, and it’s going to leave a gap in the teen scene because now Ari doesn’t have a romantic partner. Xander allows Sarah to see Victoria. I’m guessing she’s going to come up to the office and of course Sarah is very upset, but again, she poked the bear. You know what happens when you do.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Sophia’s Lies
Sophia tells a shocking story to Brady and Tate. So Sophia is going to tell them that she went into labor in Chicago. She gave birth to a baby girl who has already been adopted and their jaws are going to absolutely drop. This was all part of Melinda’s plot.
Plus Gabi is plotting with Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis). He has got a big offer that Gabi Hernandez won’t be able to resist. It’s about getting Gabi Chic and DiMera back out of Titan hands. This is the big plot from the summer and fall promo where Gabi is saying fighting fire with fire and Tony says no fighting fire with arson. I like that. I enjoy Tony DiMera. I’m glad Thaao Penghlis is back on Days of our Lives.

EJ DiMera is desperate to get his memories back of that night. So Belle Black (Martha Madison) takes him for a hypnosis session over at her house with her mom, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) And EJ says he will try anything to save Johnny.

Julie Williams tells Doug he’s got potential and not to give up on himself. Gabi and Gwen bicker on Friday. Gabi wants to know if Gwen saw Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) in Alamainia and Gwen taunts Gabi about Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) and Stefan and says that both of their husbands are missing.

July 28th through August 1st has Marlena caught up in a medical mystery and Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) tells Tony that Marlena thinks Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) is alive. Of course, the Phoenix is long gone, but that doesn’t mean Rafe hasn’t put his memories into somebody else. Marlena is back in Queen of the Night phase soon. Tate is upset about Sophia giving their daughter up for adoption and him missing the birth and never seeing their child.
She and Melinda need to stop Tate from digging into this. Little does he know, Javi and Leo have his son, who’s not a daughter, and time’s running out for Sophia to take Tesoro back before that window closes and he’ll go into foster care or up for adoption. Tate is relieved that Holly is back safe and sound and they’re reunited. But I’m asking, who is going to be Ari’s love interest now that Doug is gone? Will Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo) be back for the summer? Maybe.
