Next week on Days of Our Lives, viewers will witness the emotional collapse of one of Salem’s most dramatic love stories. Sarah Horton and Xander Kiriakis are set to finalize their divorce, marking the end of a relationship that has captivated fans with its intensity, volatility, and, ultimately, heartbreak. Their union, once brimming with hope and deep affection, has crumbled beneath the weight of deception, violence, and fractured trust.
For months, the cracks in Sarah and Xander’s marriage have widened, driven by secrets too heavy to conceal and betrayals that struck too deeply. The final straw came with a long-hidden truth—one Sarah desperately tried to keep buried. When the revelation finally emerged, it sent shockwaves through their already shaky foundation. Philip Kiriakis dropped the bombshell, confirming to Xander that Sarah had been hiding a crucial secret. Xander, known for his volatile temperament, responded not with rage, but with an icy detachment. His silence was more chilling than any outburst, showcasing a man who had emotionally shut down.
As Xander processed the betrayal, his demeanor became unrecognizable. Once passionate and unpredictable, he turned cold and distant. The only time he allowed any of his true emotions to surface was during a heartbreaking moment with his daughter, Victoria. Saying goodbye to her, he revealed a flicker of the pain that had otherwise been buried under his hardened exterior.
