Days of Our Lives spoilers for June 2-6, 2025 see John Black (Drake Hogestyn)’s funeral is going to bring some huge returns as it shocks and saddens all of Salem and Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) is going to wake up. It’s a miracle and a loss.
As we always do on Early Edition Day, we’re going to start with what’s coming the rest of this week.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Belle is Determined
On Wednesday, May 28th, we’ve got Belle Black (Martha Madison) completely focused and intent on making an arrest in the case of Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier)’s assault. And of course, Belle has a personal tie to Philip. You know, they were into each other at one point. And so in addition to her official role as district attorney, Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) is quite certain that Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) did the deed and beat her son. And of course, we all know that he did.
So Belle circles around to Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) who worked with Philip and Xander to get his take on whether Philip’s sault might have been done by Xander and how the two were getting along. And of course, there’s information that a lot of people in law enforcement don’t have. Of course that is about the fraud that Philip perpetuated.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Johnny’s Upset
Now some people do know and are sitting on this secret. And I believe Belle is one of them. So she knows about this, but I don’t think she’s going to want to bring it up to Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) or anybody because hopefully Philip wakes up and she doesn’t want to see him go to jail. So this is a tough position for Alex to be in.
Meanwhile, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is upset about many things, including Grandpa John being in critical condition. And of course, he’s still dealing with the emotional fallout from the fact he held a gun on his dad, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), plus some marital stress. But thankfully, Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) is there and fully supportive of him.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Carrie Brady Comes Back to see John
Also on Wednesday, Christy Clark returns as Carrie Brady to see John, who was her dad for a moment back when he thought he was Roman Brady (Josh Taylor). And she’s going to be in town to comfort Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). Of course, Carrie will be crying over John’s sad fate. And the hope seems dimmer by the day and probably gonna be cliffhanger Friday when we have John pass away, but we’ll see.
Roman and Kate have a serious chat. She wants to see Xander arrested for assaulting her precious Philip, and she is about to get what she wants. And of course, Kate never doubted for a moment that Xander was to blame.
DOOL Spoilers: EJ and Xander Make Their Pitches
Thursday, May 29th, EJ and Xander both go before the board of University Hospital to make their pitch to buy on Days of our Lives. EJ is looking to invest as an individual, while Xander brings the buying power of Titan and DiMera together, and it’s looking good for him, but then something changes.
Once EJ and Xander make their pitches, it’s a waiting game. And initially, Kayla Brady was hoping it would be Xander, not EJ, but she may wind up not liking either candidate.
And because Belle talked to Alex, she feels like she’s ready to move. She takes the info she got to Jada and it’s time to slap on some handcuffs. So DA Belle green lights what Jada does and she trots up to the hospital and arrests Xander for the assault of Philip.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Brady wants to take Rachel to See John
Meanwhile, Kate’s son remains unconscious and probably will for a week, week and a half, possibly two weeks more while other stories take front burner. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) asks Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) for something, but she refuses. It’s about Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater), but what does Brady want that Kristen won’t give him? Maybe Brady wants to take Rachel up to the hospital to see John before he’s gone.
We’re also going to see Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) catching up with Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers), who is furious at Xander, while Julie remains furious at Doug Williams (Bill Hayes). And of course, Maggie’s got to tell her that Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Xander split up. And oh yeah, Philip was beaten likely by her son-in-law.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Will Horton Returns
On Friday, May 30th, we have Chandler Massey back. He returns two days at the end of the week as Will Horton. And of course, Greg Vaughan’s back as Eric Brady. Lots of returns, lots of other people coming to Salem to say goodbye to John before he passes away. And then once he passes, even more people back for the funeral.
Will’s daughter, Arianna Horton (Marissa Reyes) is already back. And I expect Will and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) have an interesting chat about Ari’s behavior. She snuck out to shag a stranger and then lied to Mama Gabi’s face. Meanwhile, Johnny’s feeling increasingly alone. There’s just too much stress after just what happened with EJ. And with John, it’s just a lot.
Speaking of his dad, EJ has to deal with Kristen, who is all up in his face confronting him because this week Rachel tells Kristen about seeing EJ arguing with Johnny and that EJ’s son had a gun. So, I would expect Kristen to accuse EJ of protecting Johnny at all cost. And of course, EJ does actually think his son shot him. I think it’s Rachel.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Salem is Full of Sorrow
June 2nd through the 6th, we’ll be getting even more people gathering in town this week as Salem gets ready to say a sad goodbye to John. Will is already back as are Eric and Carrie.
Look also for Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) and Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) back for the funeral service. It’s going to be very sad. Watch the actors bringing their real-life grief to these moments. Drake Hogestyn was alive, but he was very sick when this was filmed.
Marlena and John’s loved ones support her after she loses her beloved. Lots more flashbacks and memories shared. Everyone’s going to share a look back with John. Julie is there to support her as are Kayla, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), Belle, Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer), Brady. Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney)’s back in town, lots of other people. There’s going to be just an incredible outpouring of love.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Bo Recovers
And look for news about Bo’s recovery because he got the miracle drug thanks to John. Everybody’s talking about how heroic he was. And if not for him, then Bo wouldn’t even have a chance to possibly recover from sepsis. And everybody is just focused on the sepsis. They’re not even thinking about the coma. But that is going to change as well very soon.
Now, Hope and Ciara Brady (Victoria Konefal) are going to be thrilled to share the news that Bo has recovered from sepsis and not long after that he’s going to wake up as part of this whole treatment protocol. And the big question is whether when Hope comes to Salem for John’s funeral, will Bo be at her side? Will he be on his feet walking and talking? Let’s hope so.
We know that EJ has not recovered all his memories of the night that he was shot. His confrontation with Kristen and things that Rachel told her may be the key to unlocking more about that night and jogging his memories loose. But this is going to be something else that’s going to have to take a backseat until after the funeral.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Will Xander Get Out?
But we have heard from our leaker that EJ gets the hospital deal after Xander’s arrest basically by default. So, EJ will be happy. Xander will be bummed, but the main thing was getting that medication to Bo.
Philip also is going to be slid onto the back burner and we’re likely not going to see Kate’s son awake until after John’s funeral. And when Philip does wake up, that’s going to be a big help to Xander. We’ll see if he gets bail or he has to sit in the Salem jail until his brother wakes up and decides if he will press charges.
Our leaker told us, by the way, that Philip will not be pressing charges and he is going to make amends to Xander and they are going to rebuild their brotherly relationship. So, that’s one little positive silver lining to all this. But the big news is the very sad death and funeral of John.
