In Salem, death is rarely the end—but some secrets refuse to stay buried forever. Days of Our Lives has once again ignited fan speculation with a storyline that feels equal parts haunting and explosive. The question now gripping viewers is one that could change everything: Does Peter Blake know the truth about Abigail Deveraux? And if he does… is Abigail alive?

As long-time fans know, Days of Our Lives thrives on the slow burn of revelation—dropping subtle clues, lingering glances, and loaded lines of dialogue that ripple through Salem like aftershocks. And right now, every sign points to a seismic twist in the making.

Abigail Deveraux: A Death That Never Sat Right

Abigail Deveraux’s death in 2022 shattered Salem. The beloved daughter of Jack and Jennifer, wife to Chad DiMera, and mother to Thomas and Charlotte, was brutally stabbed by Clyde Weston in the DiMera mansion. The loss was devastating, visceral, and seemingly final.

Or so it appeared.

Almost immediately, cracks formed in the narrative. Clyde, a master manipulator even by Salem standards, began dropping cryptic hints before slipping into a coma. His chilling words—suggesting Abigail wasn’t as “gone” as everyone believed—refused to fade from memory.

Then came the moment that changed everything: Abigail’s coffin was discovered to be empty.

No body. No explanation. No closure.

In Salem, that only means one thing.

Enter Peter Blake: A Ghost From Salem’s Darkest Past

Peter Blake’s sudden return has felt anything but coincidental. A deeply damaged figure molded by manipulation, resentment, and Stefano DiMera’s toxic legacy, Peter has always existed on the fringes of morality. His history is riddled with crimes, obsessions, and betrayals—many of them tied directly to the DiMera family and the Hortons alike.

After decades away, Peter reemerges not as a redeemed soul seeking peace—but as a man burning with unresolved rage.

His involvement in the recent DiMera kidnapping storyline instantly raised alarms. Trapping EJ, Stefan, Chad, and others inside the eerie DiMera crypt was a psychological assault designed to reopen old wounds and expose buried sins. When Peter finally revealed himself as the mastermind, his fury was unmistakable.

“You all got away with it,” he spat, accusing the DiMeras of escaping consequences while he paid the ultimate price.

But it was one moment—one name—that made fans’ blood run cold.

The Abigail Reference That Changed Everything

In the middle of his tirade, Peter turned his focus to EJ DiMera—and then, deliberately, he invoked Abigail.

Not casually. Not nostalgically.

Pointedly.

Peter dredged up EJ’s long-buried affair with Abigail, a scandal that once tore families apart and nearly destroyed Chad. On the surface, it seemed like calculated cruelty—weaponizing history to fracture the brothers. But the way Peter said her name, the knowing look in his eyes, the timing of the reference… it felt loaded.

As if Abigail wasn’t just a memory.

As if she was still part of the game.

Fans immediately took notice. Why now? Why bring Abigail into this unless Peter knows something more?

Could Peter Know Abigail Is Alive?

The theory is as chilling as it is plausible.

Peter has spent years away from Salem—years in which he could have crossed paths with Clyde Weston through criminal networks, prison connections, or underground alliances. Clyde, before his coma, all but admitted Abigail’s death was a lie. If anyone could have learned the truth, it would be someone like Peter—someone who thrives on secrets and leverage.

What if Peter knows where Abigail is?

What if he helped move her, hide her, or protect her?

Or worse—what if he’s been keeping her survival secret as part of a long-term plan to dismantle the DiMeras from the inside?

Chad DiMera: A Man Living With Half a Heart

For Chad, the emotional stakes are unbearable. He has spent years raising Thomas and Charlotte alone, clinging to memories of the woman he loved while trying to shield his children from a grief that never truly fades.

Viewers have watched him in quiet moments—speaking to Abigail’s photo, telling their children stories about her strength, her kindness, her laughter. The idea that she could be alive—suffering somewhere without her family—would devastate him all over again.

And if Peter knows the truth and has kept it from Chad?

That betrayal would be unforgivable.

Jack and Jennifer: Parents Suspended in Grief

For Jack and Jennifer, Abigail’s potential survival would be both miraculous and traumatic. They have mourned their daughter while quietly questioning the details that never added up. Jennifer’s grief has fueled her journalism; Jack’s has hardened into quiet vigilance.

If Abigail returns, joy will collide with rage. How do parents forgive the years stolen from them? And who will they blame for the silence?

EJ DiMera and the Weight of Guilt

Peter’s reminder of EJ’s affair with Abigail was more than an insult—it was a warning. EJ may dismiss it as ancient history, but the guilt remains, buried deep beneath his polished exterior.

If Abigail reappears, the truth will resurface with her. And the consequences—for EJ, for Chad, for the DiMera family—could be catastrophic.

The Ripple Effect Across Salem

An Abigail return wouldn’t just affect her immediate family. It would shake Salem to its core.

Kristen DiMera, no stranger to fake deaths, could see Abigail as either a threat or a pawn. Stefan and Gabi could exploit the chaos for business and revenge. Marlena Evans would likely be called upon to help Abigail process trauma, memory loss, or captivity.

And Clyde Weston—still locked in his coma—remains the ticking time bomb. If he wakes up, the truth could explode without warning.

Red Herring… Or Masterful Foreshadowing?

Some fans argue Peter’s reference was simply manipulation—a way to destabilize the brothers without any deeper meaning. But Days of Our Lives doesn’t waste dialogue lightly. The timing, the delivery, and Peter’s calculated nature suggest something far more deliberate.

This feels like classic Days storytelling—planting seeds now for a payoff later, possibly during sweeps or a milestone episode.

Is Abigail Coming Back?

Whether Abigail returns with amnesia, a new face, or a harrowing story of survival, one thing is certain: her story feels unfinished.

And Peter Blake may be the key.

As Salem edges closer to the truth, every glance, every line, and every shadow matters. Because in Days of Our Lives, secrets never stay buried—and no one stays dead forever.

The hourglass is turning.

And Abigail Deveraux may be about to walk back into Salem.
