Salem is on the brink of another unforgettable explosion, and this time, it’s the fall of a legacy character fans have watched evolve for years. The tension has been building and the time has finally come—Philip Kiriakis’ world is collapsing in on itself, and nothing will ever be the same. Next week on Days of Our Lives, the showdown between Xander and Philip takes a tragic turn, marking the end of the road for Philip and actor John-Paul Lavoisier’s emotional run on the soap.
As always in Salem, secrets have a nasty habit of crawling back into the light, and Philip’s dirty dealings are finally catching up with him. It all begins with the return of his mother, the fiery and ever-manipulative Vivian Alamain. Determined to bend Titan Industries to her will, Vivian has no qualms about using her own son as a pawn. She drops a bombshell ultimatum: either Philip plays ball, or she exposes a forged letter he created—one that falsely gave Xander rights to half of Titan’s assets.
For Xander, this isn’t just about business—it’s personal. He’s been embarrassed, cast out, and left for dead in the eyes of the Kiriakis family. Now armed with the truth, he’s ready to make Philip pay. And he’s not interested in a polite confrontation—Xander is gearing up for all-out war.
