Days of Our Lives is stacking Salem with mystery, romance, and messy fallout. An extended promo teases human bones in the DiMera crypt, a lab “positive ID,” surprise engagements, and a cryogenic curveball—while Tuesday, November 25, 2025, piles on a family secret, tough news, and an awkward run-in.

The extended promo: bones, secrets… and a cryogenic surprise
The new extended reel—usually unveiled at Day of Days, which “did not happen this year”—opens in the DiMera crypt, where Tony and Kristen aren’t alone: Chad and Theo join the search and “together they uncover some bones.” Rafe later tells EJ, “The lab has made a positive ID,” setting up a reveal no one will see coming.
Elsewhere, Bayview buzzes when Sophia checks in with Rachel—they already know each other—and Salem’s holiday traditions return with the Horton ornament hanging, “which naturally means some returns.” Chanel “drops a bombshell” on Johnny—she’s pregnant—while Leo “goes down on one knee and asks Javi to marry him.” Stephanie declares she’s ready to marry Alex “yesterday.” The teaser also flashes lip-locks (Brady/Sarah), workplace fireworks (Xander fires Brady, drawing Maggie’s wrath), and a villainous return: “Dimitri is back, ready to stir the pot with Leo.”
It gets wilder: EJ teases, “There is something I am finally ready to show you”—and the promo nudges a “cryogenic mystery.” Kristen and Gwen share a rare bonding beat, someone attacks Stephanie, Jennifer confronts Cat, Theo lands in the hospital, and Shawn may be the one who gets shot. In a fast “blink and you’ll miss it” tag, the spot also reveals Wes Ramsey has joined the cast in a role yet to be disclosed.

Tuesday, November 25 spoilers: family secret, tough news, awkward encounter
For Tuesday, November 25, 2025, Tate Black (Leo Howard) confides in Arianna “Ari” Horton (Marissa Reyes). The secret likely involves Rachel Black (Alice Halsey)—including “what she did to Sarah Horton Kiriakis” (Linsey Godfrey)—and may even touch on “Rachel shooting EJ DiMera” (Dan Feuerriegel). Meanwhile, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) makes a strong impression.
Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) delivers “tough news” to Belle Black (Martha Madison)—likely tied to Rachel—and considers next steps. At the same time, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) will “press” Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) about a yet-unspecified issue.
Finally, Chanel DiMera (Raven Bowens) has an awkward street-level encounter with Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo) while out with baby Trey DiMera (Joseph Ihlenf and Jordan Perdue). The dust-up could ease his mind—or escalate, given Chanel’s exhaustion.

The bones, the “positive ID,” and that cryo tease
The “positive ID” on the bones and EJ’s promise to “show” Cat something point toward a DiMera-sized twist, with the cryogenic breadcrumb dangling a sci-fi-adjacent reveal. With Bayview in play (Sophia and Rachel), Brady’s legal worries, and an influx of romances and proposals, the extended promo suggests an arc that intersects the DiMera past, Rachel’s present, and Salem’s holiday reunions.
Thanksgiving-week stakes
One outlet frames the holiday week around “medical emergencies and stunning confessions,” highlighting a scare for Sarah Horton and a young girl’s damaging admission—language that tracks with the Rachel storyline and Tuesday’s “tough news.” (Secondary source cites life-and-death tensions.)
What’s next for Days of Our Lives
Between a skeleton in the crypt, Bayview updates, and Tuesday’s dominoes, Days of Our Lives is pressing into winter with big reveals, proposals, and consequences. Expect more from EJ, Kristen, and Rachel as Salem processes that “positive ID,” while couples across town decide whether “yesterday” is soon enough to say yes.
