Days of Our Lives Week of June 22 Preview: Two Exciting Returns – Holly Hospitalized – Xander Goes Digging
Salem Set For Major Returns As DiMera Mystery And Medical Drama Collide
A brand-new weekly preview for Days of Our Lives (Days of Our Lives) has teased an eventful week ahead for Salem, with surprise returns, escalating investigations, and a worrying medical crisis that lands one resident in the hospital.
The promo for the week of June 22–26 hints that several storylines are about to converge in dramatic fashion, particularly as long-standing DiMera-related secrets begin resurfacing.
Marlena Evans Marks A Major Milestone Amid Emotional Storyline
The preview opens on Marlena Evans (Marlena Evans), who is seen revisiting a photo album in what appears to be a reflective and emotional moment.
This scene coincides with a significant milestone for the character and the show itself, as Salem prepares to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Deidre Hall’s debut as Marlena—a landmark moment in daytime television history.
The nostalgic tone suggests upcoming episodes will blend legacy storytelling with current drama, as Marlena’s past once again becomes relevant to present-day events.
Paul Narita Returns To Salem For A Surprise Visit
One of the most notable developments in the promo is the return of Paul Narita (Paul Narita), who arrives at Marlena’s door for an unexpected catch-up.
His appearance signals a brief but meaningful return to Salem, offering fans a chance to reconnect with the character amid ongoing storylines.
Paul’s return is also tied to developments involving his husband Andrew Donovan (Andrew Donovan), whose ISA responsibilities are reportedly keeping him occupied in Salem.
The separation of the couple sets up potential emotional tension while also tying Paul’s presence into larger intelligence-related plotlines unfolding in town.

Cat Greene’s Dangerous Mission Raises Alarm
Elsewhere in Salem, Cat Greene (Cat Greene) finds herself at the center of growing concern over her undercover strategy involving EJ DiMera (EJ DiMera).
Rafe Hernandez (Rafe Hernandez) previously expressed unease about Cat attempting to use personal connections to gain leverage in her mission. That concern escalates when Andrew Donovan, acting in his professional capacity, becomes aware of her actions.
Andrew is seen warning that Cat’s approach may be too dangerous, raising the stakes of her undercover involvement.
Despite official pushback, Cat appears determined to continue her operation, hinting that she has already made progress in gaining EJ’s trust and extracting sensitive information.
The storyline suggests a brewing conflict between duty, personal risk, and the blurred lines of espionage in Salem’s ongoing DiMera-related intrigue.
Xander Kiriakis Launches Investigation Into DiMera Pharmaceuticals
Meanwhile, Xander Kiriakis (Xander Kiriakis) is shown taking matters into his own hands as he begins investigating DiMera Pharmaceuticals.
Spoilers indicate that Xander will place a call requesting access to records dating back two years, suggesting he is pursuing evidence tied to past corporate wrongdoing.
His investigation is expected to be closely linked to Sarah Horton (Sarah Horton), who appears to be the one encouraging him to dig deeper into the pharmaceutical company’s history.
As Xander follows the trail, viewers can expect new revelations that may connect directly to the ongoing mystery surrounding tainted medication in Salem.
Holly Jonas Hospitalized After Alarming Health Scare
One of the most urgent developments in the preview involves Holly Jonas (Holly Jonas), who suffers another fainting episode that results in her being rushed to the hospital.
Medical tests reveal troubling results, with Holly reportedly testing positive for Coriseal—a drug previously linked to serious health consequences in other Salem cases.
The discovery raises immediate concerns about whether Holly has been exposed to contaminated medication, particularly given her recent prescription for antidepressants.
The possibility that DiMera Pharmaceuticals may once again be involved adds another layer of danger to an already complex storyline.
As Holly’s condition worsens, her medical crisis is expected to become a central focus of the week’s episodes.
Belle Black And Chad DiMera Uncover New Clue
Elsewhere in Salem’s unfolding mystery, Belle Black (Belle Black) and Chad DiMera (Chad DiMera) continue their investigation after discovering an unusual clue hidden inside a chessboard box.
The pair reportedly uncover an old Italian bank note, a detail that adds a new international layer to the ongoing puzzle they are attempting to solve.
Their discovery suggests that the DiMera family’s influence may extend far beyond Salem, opening the door to deeper financial and historical connections yet to be revealed.
Belle later visits Marlena, where she encounters Paul during his return visit, adding a lighter moment amid the growing tension.
Marlena Reflects As Hidden Truths Begin To Surface
Back at Marlena’s home, the atmosphere shifts between nostalgia and unease as she shares a reflective moment with Belle.
Marlena acknowledges that the group is taking a brief journey down memory lane, prompting Belle to joke about “hitching a ride” into the emotional moment.
However, beneath the warmth lies a sense that larger revelations are approaching.
Teasers suggest Marlena is on the verge of receiving significant news tied to Stefano DiMera’s (Stefano DiMera) final puzzle—an unresolved storyline that continues to ripple through Salem’s current events.
A High-Stakes Week Ahead In Salem

With returning characters, escalating investigations, and a potentially dangerous medical crisis, Days of Our Lives is preparing viewers for a week packed with suspense and emotional fallout.
From Paul Narita’s surprise visit to Holly’s hospital emergency and Xander’s corporate investigation, multiple storylines are converging toward what appears to be a major turning point.
As secrets tied to DiMera Pharmaceuticals and Stefano DiMera’s legacy continue to unfold, Salem is once again on the brink of explosive revelations that could reshape several lives.
One thing is certain: in Salem, no secret stays buried for long.
