Days of Our Lives spoilers for next 2 weeks (July 11 to 18, 2025): What to expect, major developments, and more

Return of past acquaintances is set to complicate matters on Days of Our Lives during the coming weeks. With Gwen's arrival in town, more than one family will be affected. While she may mess up Xander's domestic battle further, Julie will be keeping an eye on her. Meanwhile, the teenagers are embroiled in high-stakes drama with Doug's matters impacting Arianna and Holly.

The previous episodes of Days of Our Lives focused on Sophia's baby on one hand, and Johnny's upcoming hearing on the other. Sophia was seen dropping her newborn at the fire station and contacting Melinda for help with adoption papers. While neither Amy nor Tate knew about the baby's birth, Javi was granted temporary foster care of the newborn.

Elsewhere, Gwen arrived in Salem wearing Julie's heirloom necklace. However, she refused to hand it over. Meanwhile, Sarah and Xander tried, but miserably failed, at keeping a civil interaction with each other. Gwen took this opportunity to reconnect with Xander romantically. On the other hand, Bonnie advised Sarah to play dirty in her legal battle.

The fourth of July celebration found Tate and Holly reunite after a long time. At the same time, Arianna returned to Doug and learned about his issues with moneylenders. The Days of Our Lives fans also saw stalkers following her.

Days of Our Lives: Matters deteriorate between Sarah and Xander

Recently, Bonnie advised Sarah to play dirty with Xander to counter his dirty moves before their custody battle. As such, Sarah will start making plans, possibly starting with pushing Philip to testify against her husband. However, Philip may not comply and hold up his bargain with Xander.

Moreover, Xander will soon learn about Sarah's moves from Philip. In retaliation, he will unleash another barrage of angry attacks on his wife. He may become more determined to take Victoria's custody. On the other hand, Sarah may eventually learn about Gwen's advances on her husband. Whether she uses the intel in her case or retaliates similarly remains to be seen.

Days of Our Lives: Ari and Holly on the radar of criminals

Doug III had decided to stay away from Arianna for her safety. However, on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, she landed at his place and learnt about his problems with moneylenders. In response, she kissed the bad boy and got closer to him.

The Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest Doug will end up regretting getting back with Arianna. As she is slated for a lake trip with Holly, the two girls are likely to get abducted by goons from there. Since their families will think they are on the trip, they will remain unaware.

The criminals will likely contact Doug Williams III after the kidnapping. Tate may also realize that Holly is missing and get into a tussle with Doug. This arc may get messy and dangerous in the upcoming episodes.

Days of Our Lives: Sophia's baby and fake adoption

Sophia has left Tate and her mother in the dark about the baby's birth. She will soon have the fake adoption papers from Melinda. She will likely cook up the deceptive story of her delivery in the presence of the adoptive parents. She may insist to Tate that the adoptive couple was in a hurry to take the baby away, and she had no time to inform him.

This will likely disappoint Tate. Moreover, she may consider lying about the newborn's gender to keep Tate from looking for his child. Soon, Tate may get distracted by the missing Holly. Meanwhile, Leo Stark and Javi Hernandez will take good care of baby Tesoro.
