LOVE TRIANGLES & LIES! Days of Our Lives Spoilers For The Week (August 25-29, 2025): Holly’s Boyfriend Warning, Chad Suspects Kristen’s Shooter Story
Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of August 25-29 tease intense showdowns, deep suspicions, and messy love triangles in Salem. Holly Jonas fiercely protects her romance with Tate Black, while Chad DiMera refuses to accept Kristen DiMera’s shocking confession at face value. Elsewhere, old flames find themselves drawn back together, leaving relationships hanging in the balance.
Philip Kiriakis and Gabi Hernandez: A Tangled Web of Desire
The weekly promo opens with Philip Kiriakis waking up in bed beside Gabi Hernandez. This unexpected twist sets the tone for the week, leaving Gabi torn between passion and regret. Later, she confides in her cousin Javi Hernandez, admitting she isn’t sure where she stands with either Philip or his brother, Alex Kiriakis. Gabi’s heart remains divided, and the more she tries to deny it, the more complicated her choices become.

Philip, meanwhile, shows his unpredictable side. Instead of focusing solely on Gabi, he reconnects with a familiar face — Belle Black. Choosing to play hooky, Philip and Belle spend the day together, reminiscing about the past and letting long-buried feelings resurface. Sparks could easily reignite, making things even more complicated for both of them. This reunion might leave Belle questioning her future while adding more fuel to the fire in Philip’s chaotic love life.
Chad DiMera Refuses to Buy Kristen’s Story
Elsewhere in Salem, Chad DiMera confronts EJ DiMera with growing suspicions. Kristen DiMera’s sudden confession to shooting EJ doesn’t sit right with him, and Chad refuses to accept it blindly. EJ insists on keeping things simple, claiming Kristen publicly admitted her guilt, but Chad knows better. He suspects his sister is covering for someone else, and the truth could expose a dangerous secret.

Leo Stark only strengthens Chad’s doubts. He tells Chad that Kristen’s confession feels too convenient, as though she is shielding another culprit. Salem’s history proves confessions are rarely straightforward, so Kristen’s words may be hiding layers of deception. With family loyalty and personal safety on the line, Chad’s determination to uncover the truth could unravel yet another explosive DiMera scandal.
Brady Black and Steve Johnson Team Up for Answers
While the DiMeras clash, Brady Black grows increasingly concerned about Sophia Choi. Her story about the baby doesn’t add up, and Brady can’t shake the feeling that she’s keeping something crucial from everyone. Desperate for clarity, he seeks out Steve Johnson, asking for help in uncovering the truth. Their partnership could uncover shocking revelations that ripple through Salem.

Sophia’s behavior continues to raise questions. She seems calm on the surface, but Brady senses manipulation beneath her words. If Steve and Brady succeed in exposing her lies, they may not only protect the baby’s future but also ignite another wave of betrayal and heartbreak. Sophia’s secret may be one of the biggest ticking time bombs of the week.
Susan Banks Sounds the Alarm Over Marlena Evans
Meanwhile, Susan Banks once again crosses paths with Marlena Evans. After closely observing her, Susan becomes convinced that Marlena’s condition has worsened dramatically. Unable to stay silent, Susan insists on intervening before matters spiral out of control. Her urgency makes it clear that something serious is happening beneath the surface.

Marlena’s medical and psychological struggles have a history of spiraling into dangerous territory. Susan’s concerns may foreshadow another life-threatening battle that pulls Marlena’s loved ones into action. Salem has faced crises with “Doc” before, but this time, the stakes feel even higher.
Holly Jonas Claims Tate Black as Her Own
At the Brady Pub, Holly Jonas takes a bold step to protect her romance. She warns Sophia Choi to stay away from Tate Black in no uncertain terms. “If you think you’re gonna steal my boyfriend, you’d better think again,” Holly snaps in the weekly promo. To prove her point, she kisses Tate in front of Sophia, flaunting their relationship.

But Holly’s plan may backfire. Instead of pushing Sophia away, her bold move could motivate Sophia to fight harder for Tate. Viewers already know Sophia has a sabotage scheme brewing, and Holly’s jealous outburst might give her even more reason to strike. A fierce love triangle is forming, and no one will escape unscathed.
Gwen von Leuschner Predicts Trouble for Leo Stark
Finally, Gwen von Leuschner stirs trouble for her former friend, Leo Stark. She warns him to enjoy his romance with Javi Hernandez while it lasts, hinting that it will crash and burn sooner than he expects. Gwen’s taunt hits Leo hard, and though he tries to brush it off, the words linger.

Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest Leo and Javi’s relationship could soon face new hurdles. Whether Gwen’s prediction is just bitterness or a foreshadowing of disaster remains to be seen, but Salem romances rarely stay peaceful for long. Trouble is definitely brewing on the horizon for Leo and Javi.
