Days of Our Lives spoilers for Monday, May 5, 2025, reveal emotional chaos and dangerous plans across Salem. Johnny and Chanel’s marriage is on the brink, Chad questions EJ’s intentions, and Steve prepares for a risky drug heist to save Bo. The drama escalates fast, and secrets threaten to explode.

Johnny Seeks Marlena’s Wisdom as His Marriage Falters

Johnny DiMera’s world is spinning after canceling the adoption with Chanel. While he meant well, the decision left Chanel heartbroken and full of doubts. Struggling with his own fears about fatherhood, Johnny turns to Marlena Evans for guidance. She listens with empathy but doesn’t let him off easy.

Marlena encourages Johnny to dig deeper into his hesitation. She believes therapy and honest self-reflection can lead him to clarity. Although Johnny might not be ready for fatherhood now, Marlena is hopeful he can grow into it—if he faces his emotional barriers. Will her advice help him fight for his marriage, or is it already too late?

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Chanel Confronts EJ as Blame Turns into Fury

Chanel, still devastated by the failed adoption, is searching for answers—and someone to blame. Her anger lands squarely on EJ DiMera. She suspects EJ influenced Johnny’s decision and sabotaged their future family. Unable to stay silent, Chanel lashes out and makes it clear that she won’t forgive easily.

EJ, still recovering, offers an apology and expresses genuine regret. But it’s not just Chanel’s fury that rattles him. He’s also haunted by memories—possibly false—about Johnny’s role in a disturbing incident. A missing memory card could hold the truth, and EJ fears it could incriminate his son. His nightmare of Johnny pulling the trigger might not be just a dream after all.

Chad Suspects EJ’s Real Motives in the Charity Auction

Over on another front, Chad DiMera is confused and suspicious. When EJ bids on a date with Cat Greene at a charity bachelorette auction, Chad can’t help but raise an eyebrow. The move feels calculated, not charitable, and Chad is determined to find out why.

Despite Chad’s concerns, Cat insists on honoring the auction arrangement. Still, Chad thinks there’s more beneath the surface. EJ’s sudden interest in the hospital’s finances and his involvement with Cat seem far too convenient. Could Cat be part of EJ’s hidden agenda, or is she just a distraction from something bigger? Chad plans to confront his brother and get answers, whether EJ wants to share them or not.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Shawn and Steve Plan a Dangerous Heist to Save Bo

Meanwhile, Steve Johnson and Shawn Brady are preparing for a bold, illegal mission. With time running out, they agree to steal the drug Bo Brady needs to survive. Their plan? Break into a secure lab and smuggle it out before anyone notices.

Steve considers telling Kayla Johnson and eventually decides to bring her into the loop. To his surprise, Kayla gives her approval. Desperation has pushed her to accept the risk. She’ll do anything to keep Bo alive, even if it means breaking the law. As the heist unfolds, all three will face dangerous consequences—and there’s no turning back.

Days of Our Lives spoilers hint that this week will bring more heartbreak, more conflict, and more mystery. Johnny’s inner turmoil could push him to make a life-altering decision. Chanel might not be done fighting for the child she almost had. And EJ’s secrets? They’re stacking up fast.
