Days: Cruise Ship Nightmare – Is Andre Impersonating Tony Now? EJ Knows Everything | DOOL Spoilers

Salem fans, brace yourselves—because Days of Our Lives just dropped a bombshell that has everyone talking. The DeMera family saga has officially taken another dark and twisted turn, and this time, the danger is lurking on the high seas. In the October 28th episode, what began as a romantic getaway for Tony and Anna quickly spiraled into a full-blown mystery that could shake the DeMera empire to its core. And now, whispers suggest that Tony may have fallen victim to the most shocking betrayal yet—his own brother, Andre.

A Cruise Turns into Chaos

The episode begins with scenes of Tony and Anna DeMera enjoying a lavish Mediterranean cruise, basking in luxury and love. But in true Days fashion, peace never lasts long. When the cruise ship docks in sun-soaked Athens, Tony steps off for what he calls a “routine business meeting” with some international associates. Anna stays behind, sipping champagne and chatting with fellow passengers—until the hours drag on, and the sun begins to set. Tony hasn’t returned.

Anna’s worry intensifies with every passing moment. The Athens streets are crowded and chaotic, a perfect setting for something sinister to unfold unseen. Her instincts tell her something’s wrong. Could it be another kidnapping plot—something the DeMeras know all too well? Or worse, could it be the work of a family member with a hidden agenda?

Unable to contain her fear, Anna seeks out EJ DeMera in the ship’s grand lounge. She pleads for his help, her voice trembling with panic. But EJ, ever the composed businessman, seems oddly unbothered. He brushes off her concerns, insisting Tony probably got caught up in negotiations. Yet his eyes tell a different story. He avoids her gaze, his calm demeanor hiding a storm of secrets.

Fans immediately noticed the subtle cues: EJ’s detachment, his refusal to act urgently, and his eerie calm. Could EJ know more than he’s letting on?

EJ’s Shadowy Secret

EJ’s behavior raises all kinds of red flags. His indifference isn’t just cold—it’s calculated. In the world of the DeMeras, power often trumps emotion, and EJ has always been a master manipulator. But this time, his motives seem darker. Could he be protecting the family’s business interests—or covering up something far more sinister?

Viewers are speculating that EJ may already know Tony isn’t coming back because Tony may no longer be Tony at all. The rumor sweeping through Salem is that Andre DeMera—the family’s most cunning villain—is alive and has taken Tony’s place.

It wouldn’t be the first time Andre pulled off the impossible. Fans remember his previous “deaths” and miraculous returns. And now, all signs suggest he’s back with a vengeance, hiding in plain sight under Tony’s name.

The Mysterious Message

Just as panic reaches its peak, Anna receives a text. Relief floods her face—it’s from Tony. He claims his meeting ran long, that he missed the ship’s departure, and that he’ll rejoin her in Istanbul. He apologizes for the scare and promises he’s fine.

On the surface, it’s a comforting explanation. But Salem fans know better. Nothing in the DeMera world is ever that simple. The message feels too convenient, too neatly worded—almost like someone wanted to buy time. And EJ’s subtle reaction doesn’t help. He reads the message with a faint smirk, offering Anna a reassuring nod, but his expression quickly hardens the moment she looks away.

Could EJ be helping Andre pull off an impersonation scheme? Is this part of a larger DeMera operation that even Anna can’t begin to imagine?

A Sinister Swap

Imagine it: somewhere deep below deck, Tony is being held captive—bound and helpless in a dimly lit room while Andre steps into his shoes aboard the cruise ship. When “Tony” eventually reunites with Anna, small inconsistencies begin to surface. He says things Tony never would. His mannerisms feel slightly off. The warmth in his eyes has turned cold.

Anna, ever the intuitive wife, starts to sense something’s wrong. This man may look like her husband, but he feels different. The tension between them builds as she struggles to reconcile the man before her with the one she’s loved for years. It’s a psychological nightmare—one that could lead to an explosive confrontation once she uncovers the truth.

And behind it all? EJ DeMera, playing both sides as usual.

EJ’s Dangerous Game

Spoilers hint that EJ may be working on a top-secret experiment deep within a DeMera facility—one that blurs the line between science and the supernatural. The whispers mention a grotesque project connected to Stefano DeMera’s legacy, possibly involving attempts to resurrect or clone aspects of the legendary patriarch.

Andre’s expertise in deception makes him the perfect partner for such a scheme. If he truly survived his supposed death, EJ might have brought him back to ensure the success of this dangerous experiment. In return, Andre could have demanded control over Tony’s life, using impersonation as a means of re-entering the family’s powerful inner circle.

It’s the ultimate DeMera move: one brother sacrificed, another reborn, and EJ pulling the strings from behind the curtain.

Trouble in Salem

Back in Salem, the ripple effects are already being felt. Kate Roberts storms into EJ’s office, furious after hearing rumors about Tony’s disappearance. She demands answers, but EJ’s calm demeanor only fuels her suspicion. When Chad DeMera learns the news, he immediately senses that history is repeating itself. “Tony doesn’t just vanish,” he says, his voice filled with conviction. “If he’s gone, someone made it happen.”

Even Rafe Hernandez steps into the mix, investigating the missing person’s report that Anna filed. Yet the deeper he digs, the stranger things become. Flight records, surveillance footage, and business logs all show inconsistencies—almost as if someone meticulously erased Tony’s trail.

The Empty Station

The episode closes with an ominous scene: a deserted train station in Greece. A single suitcase sits abandoned on a bench. The camera zooms in on a train ticket—its destination: Salem. The name on it reads Tony DeMera.

The eerie silence says it all. Something terrible has happened, and the truth is about to explode.

Theories and Consequences

Fans are buzzing with theories. Is Andre the one posing as Tony? Did EJ help orchestrate the swap to secure DeMera Enterprises? Or could this all be part of a larger resurrection plot tied to Stefano’s mysterious legacy?

Whatever the case, one thing is clear—Salem’s darkest family secret is about to surface again. Anna’s heartbreak, EJ’s duplicity, and Andre’s malevolent cunning are setting the stage for one of the most explosive arcs in recent Days of Our Lives history.

As the cruise sails toward Istanbul, the danger grows. The lines between brother and imposter blur, love and loyalty are tested, and the DeMera dynasty edges closer to implosion.

Because in Salem, nothing stays buried forever.

And when the truth comes out—when Anna realizes the man beside her isn’t her husband, when EJ’s carefully crafted plan begins to crumble, and when Andre’s mask finally slips—the fallout will shake the DeMera family to its very foundation.

So stay tuned, Days fans, because this cruise ship nightmare is only beginning.

Next week’s preview teases one haunting question that will keep everyone guessing:
If Tony DeMera isn’t the man returning to Salem… then who is?
