Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of August 4 tease some twists! Fans can expect Gwen Rizczech von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien) to get another chance with Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer).

Meanwhile, Sarah Horton Kiriakis (Linsey Godfrey) faces a dilemma about a secret she knows. Plus, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) will have a family dilemma after questioning Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Gwen Rizczech von Leuschner’s Hot Romance

Let’s start off with Gwen, who is still pining after Xander. She thought there was a chance the night she got drunk with her former flame.

However, he clearly isn’t over Sarah. That could change now that XARAH has agreed to file for divorce and get a formal custody decision. While Xander will just want to move on, Gwen will likely end up heartbroken once again.

Sophia Choi’s Secret

Over with Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd), she is holding onto a huge secret. Everyone is pretty upset with Sophia over her quickie adoption in Chicago.

Sarah already figured out that her story didn’t add up. However, she also faces a dilemma because Sophia told her that as a patient to a doctor.

Sarah Horton Kiriakis’ Complication

As Gwen tries to get her paws on Xander again, Sarah will try to move on in her own way. That will be with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf).

However, Brady is focused on Tate Black (Leo Howard), so Sarah will keep being reminded of Sophia’s baby.

Brady and Tate might even ask Sarah some hypothetical questions as a doctor, but those could be complicated to answer.

Week of August 4, 2025

Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) could continue hearing from the dead. That could have her running around Salem making more pointy-fingered accusations.

Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) initially rejected Gabi Hernandez’s (Cherie Jimenez) request. However, he will change his mind and investigate Xander and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier).

That leads to Steve making a shocking discovery about his own daughter, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). So, Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) will get in the middle of that family feud.

Meanwhile, Stephanie could face some fallout with the pen name and her requirements to promote the book.

After Marlena questions Rachel, she could face another dilemma. If Rachel knows who really shot EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), why was she so quick to blame Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman)? Or could Rachel have shot EJ herself, maybe while sleepwalking?

There is also Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord). After getting stuck together, will there be more romance? Or could Chad become suspicious of what Cat is hiding?
