The Days of Our Lives spoilers for October 27–31, 2025, promise a week full of shocking confessions, long-awaited introductions, and emotional showdowns in Salem. Stephanie’s hidden identity finally comes to light, while Hank Northrop makes his much-anticipated debut as Liam — a new character with a complicated past.

Fans can expect twists involving Abe, Theo, and Paulina, as well as emotional reckonings for Xander and Sarah. With Halloween around the corner, Salem is about to get even more dramatic.

Hank Northrop Joins the Cast as Liam

Soap viewers have been waiting for months to see Hank Northrop — son of the late Wayne Northrop (Roman Brady) and Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe, General Hospital) — arrive in Salem. That moment finally comes this week when he debuts as Liam, a literacy mentee working with Abe Carver. However, Liam isn’t a clean slate. He’s revealed to be Theo Carver’s high school bully, stirring old wounds and new drama.

Abe’s mentorship will take a turn as he learns about Liam’s past connection to his son. Theo’s unresolved resentment comes to the surface, leading to a confrontation that could impact Abe’s new role as DiMera’s CEO. Expect tensions to rise as Theo warns JJ and Paulina about Liam’s true nature.

Stephanie’s Double Life Comes Crashing Down

Meanwhile, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) is juggling a secret that’s about to explode. After months of hiding her identity as bestselling romance author “Anastasia Sands,” Stephanie faces exposure in a public and unexpected way. Her carefully guarded secret could unravel her relationship with Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and upend her professional life.

To complicate things, her ex-boyfriend Jeremy (Michael Roark) — the man who inspired her novel “One Stormy Night” — returns to Salem. Stephanie confronts him about their past, and by midweek, she’s forced to tell Alex the truth about what really happened between them. The confrontation promises to be one of the most emotional moments of the week, setting up fallout that will carry into November sweeps.

More Drama Across Salem

Elsewhere, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is still scheming, determined to expose EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) secrets. When his own plan at the free clinic fails, it’s Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) who unexpectedly comes through with crucial information. The unlikely pair may form a temporary alliance by the week’s end.

In another corner of Salem, Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) faces Maggie’s (Suzanne Rogers) fury after admitting he attacked Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier). With his relationship with Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) hanging by a thread, Xander turns to Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) for help. But will therapy be enough to save him from himself?

Days of Our Lives fans can expect a week filled with emotional confessions, long-awaited payoffs, and a few Halloween surprises that could reshape relationships across Salem.

Days of Our Lives spoilers confirm that nothing will be the same once Stephanie’s secret is exposed — and Liam’s debut shakes up the Carver family.
