Two beloved characters return to Salem, while investigations intensify and risky moves are set in motion, according to Days of our Lives spoilers. Meanwhile, the past could contain the answer to a major mystery, and a young woman once again finds herself in serious trouble. Here’s your DAYS video preview for the week of June 22-26, 2026.
Surprise Returns
Marlena (Deidre Hall, who never imagined her time on the show would stretch across 50 years) is seated on the couch, flipping through a photo album filled with memories of herself and her late husband, John (Drake Hogestyn). Suddenly, someone knocks at the door, and Marlena rises to answer it. She is stunned to find John’s son, Paul (Christopher Sean), standing on the other side. “Hi, Marlena,” he says warmly with a smile.
Elsewhere in Salem, Paul’s partner, Andrew (Colton Little), shows up at Cat’s (AnnaLynne McCord) door with an urgent warning. “It’s too dangerous, Cat. I will not let you do this,” the ISA agent tells her firmly. But Cat does not appear ready to back away. “What if I told you I’ve already started?” she replies.

Andrew and Paul appear in the Days of our Lives video preview for the week of June 22-26, 2026.
Unexpected Discovery
While examining the chess box that Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) left for Marlena, Belle (Martha Madison) discovers something unusual. It is an old piece of Italian currency: a 1000-lire note. Confused by the find, she turns to Chad (Conner Floyd), wondering what it could possibly mean.
Mysterious Investigation
Xander (Paul Telfer) makes a phone call in hopes of uncovering crucial information. “I need to see everything on DiMera Pharmaceuticals from two years ago,” he tells the person on the line. Moments later, documents begin appearing across the screen.
At the same time, poor Holly (Ashley Puzemis) ends up in the hospital. She looks extremely pale, visibly confused, and completely disoriented.
A Walk Through the Past
Back at Marlena’s penthouse, Paul is joined by Belle as Marlena reflects on old memories. “I’m taking a little stroll down memory lane,” Marlena tells her daughter. “Then, I guess, I’m hitching a ride,” Belle responds.
