NOVEMBER PREVIEW: EJ’s Secret Laboratory – Stefano’s Resurrection Shocks Salem! | Days of Our Lives
🔥 NOVEMBER SHOCKER: EJ’s Secret Laboratory Unleashes Stefano’s Resurrection — Salem Faces Its Most Dangerous Month Yet! 🔥
November in Days of Our Lives isn’t just another month—it’s a collision of past and present, life and death, legacy and madness. As the soap celebrates its monumental 60th anniversary, what begins as a heartfelt tribute to Tom Horton spirals into one of Salem’s most explosive and sinister storylines ever told. Beneath the sparkle of celebration, EJ DiMera’s dark genius takes center stage, setting off a chain of events that could resurrect the most feared man in Salem’s history — Stefano DiMera himself.
🎉 A Night of Celebration Turns Deadly
The month kicks off with the grand opening of the Tom Horton Free Clinic, a symbol of hope and compassion meant to honor Salem’s founding family. But as dignitaries, doctors, and familiar faces return to raise a glass to Tom Horton’s legacy, danger lurks in the shadows.
Behind the elegant decorations and heartfelt speeches, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is orchestrating something far more sinister. Salem’s elite unknowingly serve as human shields while EJ puts the final touches on his secret laboratory, buried deep beneath the DiMera mansion’s newly reinforced tunnels. It’s here, away from the eyes of law enforcement and moral restraint, that EJ begins his most chilling experiment yet — the resurrection of Stefano DiMera.
The gala provides perfect cover: chaotic logistics, multiple entry points, and layers of security that make infiltration nearly impossible. While music swells upstairs, dark science brews below, and by night’s end, Salem will never be the same again.
👥 The Return of Beloved Faces… and Old Ghosts
The anniversary brings together some of Days of Our Lives’ most cherished characters for a reunion that fans have long dreamed of. Sami Brady (Allison Sweeney) returns in her fiery glory, determined to expose Salem’s growing corruption. Her twin brother Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) and her son Will Horton (Chandler Massey)** join her, bringing warmth and nostalgia to a night meant to honor family.
Jack and Jennifer Deveraux, along with Mike and Lucas Horton, come home to celebrate their roots. Even Marie Horton, an original cast member, makes a rare appearance, ready to remind the town what true Horton values mean — integrity, loyalty, and love.
But amid all this celebration, dark forces move unseen. EJ’s project has already drawn in unsuspecting allies and dangerous enemies, and when the truth comes to light, this family reunion could turn into a war.
🧬 EJ’s Lab of Horrors: The DiMera Legacy Reborn
EJ’s secret laboratory isn’t just another DiMera scheme — it’s a ticking time bomb. Assisted by Dr. Rolf, the infamous mad scientist of Salem, EJ has repurposed the DiMera tunnels into a cutting-edge resurrection facility, complete with experimental drugs, memory-altering serums, and ethically bankrupt technology.
His goal? To restore Stefano DiMera — the legendary “Phoenix” — to life. Whether driven by grief, madness, or ambition, EJ’s determination to bring back his father pushes him down a dark path that mirrors Stefano’s own obsessions.
But EJ’s obsession comes with consequences. Not only could his experiments unleash a deadly medical outbreak, but whispers suggest something else — Stefano’s spirit may already be stirring, manipulating events from beyond the grave. As Salem braces for what’s coming, viewers are left asking:
“What if the Phoenix never truly died?”
😈 Tony—or Andre? A Twin Twist with Deadly Stakes
The DiMera mansion is no stranger to identity swaps, but this time, the deception may hit closer to home. Rumors swirl that the man parading around as Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) may actually be Andre DiMera, his ruthless twin, posing as his brother to further EJ’s scheme.
This stunning revelation could fracture the DiMera family once again. Has EJ knowingly teamed up with Andre, or has he been manipulated himself? The possibility that Andre — Salem’s master of deceit — is once again pulling the strings sets up a shocking confrontation between the brothers that could end in betrayal… or blood.
Meanwhile, Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) is drawn deeper into the DiMera chaos, unknowingly assisting in the laboratory operation by planting surveillance devices in corporate offices. If she uncovers the true nature of EJ’s “experiment,” Gabi could become Salem’s next target.
💋 Sami Brady’s Return: The Key to EJ’s Undoing
When Sami Brady steps back into Salem, she’s not just coming home — she’s walking straight into the heart of the storm. Her past with EJ is complicated, passionate, and laced with betrayal. But now, she may hold the missing piece to the puzzle.
A mysterious clue emerges when Cat Green, Salem’s newest enigma, reacts strangely to a photograph of Sami in EJ’s townhouse. It’s as if she recognizes her — or the life Sami once lived. Spoilers suggest that Sami, EJ, and Cat share a forgotten past, possibly tied to a psychiatric facility where EJ and Cat once underwent treatments involving Rolf’s memory-altering drugs.
If true, Sami’s return could awaken memories both terrifying and tragic — memories that reveal EJ’s true motivation for resurrecting Stefano and the dark pact that binds Cat to the DiMeras.
💔 Cat’s Torn Heart and Rafe’s Protection
Cat Green (Ava Vitale) finds herself entangled in dangerous affairs of both the heart and the DiMera empire. Her alliance with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering)** is built on deception and survival, but her growing feelings for Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn)** could destroy them both.
Now that her cover as a pseudo-spy has been blown, Cat is a marked woman. As Rafe moves to protect her, their professional bond begins to blur into something far more emotional — even as Chad battles his own demons over his family’s corruption.
But when Sami returns, Cat’s world shatters. A haunting sense of déjà vu overtakes her — memories she doesn’t understand, names she’s never spoken. Could she be a victim of EJ’s experiments too? And if so, will she survive the truth when it surfaces?
🧠 Supernatural Disturbances and Bayview Intrigue
Meanwhile, Sophia Choi’s eerie storyline at Bayview takes a chilling turn. Her connection to the supernatural entity known as Tesoro becomes impossible to ignore. Strange dreams, voices, and unexplained phenomena suggest that EJ’s laboratory experiments may be opening doors that were never meant to be opened — bridging science and the supernatural in ways that could doom them all.
As Sophia’s condition worsens, the boundaries between reality and the otherworldly begin to blur. Is Stefano’s resurrection purely scientific… or something far more demonic?

🩸 Outbreak and Chaos: Salem on the Brink
Just when it seems things can’t get worse, a mysterious medical outbreak grips Salem. Patients flood the hospital with symptoms no one can diagnose. Fear spreads faster than the infection itself, and chaos consumes the city.
Sarah Horton, Kayla Brady, and Tripp Johnson scramble to contain the epidemic, but the connection is undeniable — EJ’s experiments have unleashed something uncontrollable. As the infection spreads, the line between the living and the resurrected begins to blur.
In one chilling moment, a familiar voice whispers from the shadows of the DiMera mansion:
“Salem thought they’d buried the Phoenix… but you cannot kill destiny.”
Could Stefano truly be back? And if so, what does his return mean for everyone who once defied him?
💥 Final Verdict: Salem’s Most Explosive Month Yet
This November, Days of Our Lives promises to deliver unprecedented suspense, emotional reunions, and terrifying revelations. Between EJ’s resurrection scheme, Stefano’s haunting return, Sami’s emotional comeback, and the outbreak threatening to consume Salem, this 60th anniversary celebration is shaping up to be the most unforgettable chapter in the show’s history.
Old enemies will rise, alliances will crumble, and the Phoenix… just might rise again.
