Days of Our Lives Early Spoilers Nov 24-28: Alex in the Crosshairs & Shawn’s Bold Power Play!

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Nov 24-28, 2025 expect Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) being targeted and Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) making a big move.

As we always do on early edition day, we talk about what’s coming the rest of this week and then we dive into next week, which is, by the way, the very last week of November sweeps. So, look for huge action coming this last week and a half.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Johnny & Chanel Struggle

Wednesday, November 19th, we’ve got Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) struggling as new parents. Their hands are more than full. It was a little harder than they anticipated. We all know if you’ve had a kid, being a parent to an infant can be challenging. Sometimes they just cry for no reason, like the air is bothering them, you know? So, I do wonder if Johnny and Chanel are going to reach out to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) for advice. Or maybe Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). Maybe Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) or Abe Carver (James Reynolds) will stop by with some tips.

Also, Shawn returns to Salem, and he is supporting Belle Black (Martha Madison) through this Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) medical crisis. I wonder if Shawn and Belle are going to get closer. Maybe they’ll rekindle their on-again, off-again relationship since she seems to be well and done with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) at this point. We’re also waiting to see if Marlena is diagnosed with Lyme disease, if it’s confirmed.

Cat Attacked & Susan’s Intuition on DOOL

Somebody tries to rob Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), but she fights them off. She has had ISA training, so it would be kind of interesting if she really hurt them. I do wonder if it might be Liam. He is the young criminal that is supposed to be mentored by Abe, but he keeps skipping out on the meetings. So Liam may be out doing crime and has not learned a lesson at all. EJ reaches out to Johnny, which Sami Brady (Alison Sweeny) told him not to do. Maybe that’s why.

And EJ’s mom, Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk), drops by the DiMera mansion to sass her son. I wonder if she’s warning him to keep his distance from Johnny like he’s been asked to do. Plus, Susan may sense that her precious Elvis Jr. is doing bad, bad things in that new clinic with whatever dead family member they have got in that big old test tube, because it seems definitely to be a DiMera at this point.

DiMera Drama and Custody Battles Heat Up

Thursday, November 20th, Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) offers some legal expertise to Jennifer Horton (Cady McClain) that includes a warning. It could be about how it will be hard to convince a judge to take minor children away from a grieving widower like Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), who is a good guy. Justin wants Jennifer to be realistic, but I doubt it’s going to come to a court battle. They don’t do a lot of big court battles on Days.

Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) thanks Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), and I wonder for what. Maybe for giving Xander the inspiration to work harder to prove to Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) he’s the man that she wants. Maybe Brady chasing Sarah lit a fire under him. Later, Xander tells Sarah he signed the divorce papers on Days of our Lives. We know he still loves her, so this may be part of a play to get her to realize that she still really wants him.

Chad Gets Advice on Days of Our Lives

Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) gives Chad some advice. I wonder if Jeremy (Trevor Donovan) is going to tell Chad to play nice with Jennifer and give her temporary custody. As Thomas DiMera (Christopher Cary)’s teacher, Jeremy may give Chad some perspective and insight on his son that he wouldn’t otherwise have. Cat and Rafe hit a roadblock trying to find out what EJ’s doing in that super-secret lab and where the money is coming from that’s used to fund it.

Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) sets her sights on Sarah on Thursday. She knows that Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is out of prison and is hoping for a reconciliation for her parents, so Sarah might need to go. I think Rachel is going to pull one of her classic stunts to get a woman that Brady likes out of his life.

Shocking Experiments and a Life-Threatening Allergy Attack

On Friday, November 21st, we’ve got Dr. Mark Greene (Jonah Robinson) and Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) doing some sketchy, sketchy science. It’s the first experiment to break in the new lab, the inaugural sci-fi thing they’re doing there. We could learn about the mysterious person in that giant test tube. I do think it’s a DiMera, somebody related to EJ, maybe Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo).

But we know they can’t raise the dead unless they recast, as Joseph Mascolo passed away years ago. Rachel may accuse Sarah of making moves on Brady. And it looks like Rachel deliberately triggered Sarah’s nut allergy. Brady demands to know what Rachel did as Sarah starts wheezing and going into anaphylactic shock. Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) is suspicious of EJ.

And I wonder if she’s going to get a clue about the sketchy lab and where the money, power, and resources are going. Aaron Greene (Louis Tomeo) tries to pull Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) out of her current state. It looks like the young man goes to Bayview to see her. And we’ll have to find out when Aaron shows up if Sophia is still catatonic and whether Aaron can get through to her.

Thanksgiving Week Spoilers: New Romances and DiMera Mysteries

The week of November 24th through the 28th is Thanksgiving week in Salem. Since Days is fully streaming now, as it has been for the past couple of years, we get episodes on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. We even get episodes on Christmas. They don’t preempt anymore, which is super nice. Next week, Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) are looking forward to their second date. I know a lot of fans don’t like this pairing. And part of the criticism I’m seeing is that Theo’s ex, Claire Brady (Isabel Durant), is Shawn’s daughter. And of course, he’s Jada’s ex.

It’s kind of messy. And there’s a big old age gap there. They did cast an older Theo, I think, than the last actor. He looks older for sure, when actually he’s supposed to be Claire (Isabel Durant)’s age, so it’s kind of cringe for some folks. Plus, Jada may still be trying to work Theo to get intel on the DiMeras. Stacy Haiduk is doing double duty as Susan and Kristen. And Susan may have more to say about her premonitions about Stefano.

Kristen is worried about how being abducted will affect Rachel and mess up her prison sentence because it’ll add on to it unless she can prove she was taken against her will. Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) swears he was also taken, picked up while at a port of call on his cruise with Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley). So, I don’t know about that. We’ll have to wait and see if it’s true or if that is Andre DiMera (also Thaao Penghlis) talking to Kristen, and you know he’s behind all this.

A Framed Man, A Shocking Revelation, and Character Exits on Days of our Lives

Dr. Rolf’s secret lab specimen is soon revealed. He has big plans for whoever is in that tube. I’m guessing it’s going to wind up with a version of Stefano 2.0, but in the tube could be another DiMera who’s MIA, someone like Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) or Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash). Lots of DiMeras to mess with. Jeremy is pretty annoyed soon because he worked hard on himself. He came to town and immediately beelined to Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) to apologize, and she accepted it.

But then she’s trashed him to Jada and obviously to Alex, and they accused Jeremy of ratting out Stephanie’s dirty book author secret, which I don’t believe he did at all. And then we had that black-gloved person that is causing problems. Jeremy may be facing more heat because of them and might be being framed for attacks on Alex. If you remember, somebody almost stabbed Alex when the Rachel and Thomas pumpkin chucking accident happened. That person was in the same kind of coat that Jeremy was wearing and had the knife. Alex noticed a slice in his jacket later.

Chad may indeed compromise with Jennifer, let her take the kids and leave Salem with Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford), and then Chad will join them in Boston after he wraps up some loose ends in Salem. They can all spend the holidays together that way. We are getting a new Chad and a new Thomas in April 2026, and there are going to be some gaps where the characters are off-screen. So, watch for those red flags of their exits coming soon.
