Days of our Lives spoilers photos for the June 23, 2025 episode tease two returns nobody was expecting.
Scenes From Salem
Rita (Maggie Carney) is back at the DiMera Mansion, which can’t mean anything good. Last we saw EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), he was calling his partner in crime asking for a dose of the memory serum. When Rota arrives, she’ll have it raring to go for him. However, the two will be interrupted by an unexpected guest: Tony (Thaao Penghlis). He’ll make Rita’s acquaintance, before spoilers for the week tease he’ll take matters into his own hands. Over at The Bistro, after Chad (Billy Flynn, whose shocking Young and the Restless character was just revealed) meets with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), he’ll be reunited with his brother when Tony and EJ join him for a drink.
Just when you thought Salem was cooling down, the DiMera mansion gets hit with a double dose of drama! In next week’s Days of Our Lives, Tony DiMera finally strolls back into town, and EJ DiMera toys with something extremely dangerous—a memory serum. Yes, you read that right. A serum that could unlock secrets no one’s ready for. What could possibly go wrong when old DiMera ghosts come knocking and forgotten memories threaten to explode?
