Days of Our Lives: 5 HORRIFYING SECRETS REVEALED. The Truth About Johnny Child & Blood in the Crypt
The next two weeks of Days of Our Lives promise to plunge Salem into one of its darkest and most emotionally explosive chapters yet. From December 15th through December 26th, viewers will witness terrifying revelations, shocking disappearances, dangerous medical truths, and long-buried family secrets clawing their way into the light. Nothing will remain untouched—especially the fractured DiMera family, whose legacy of power, betrayal, and bloodshed once again takes center stage. These upcoming episodes are packed with dread, heartbreak, and mystery, delivering five horrifying secrets that will forever change Johnny DiMera’s life and expose the chilling truth hidden within the crypt.
Secret #1: EJ DiMera’s Disappearance Shatters Johnny’s World
The nightmare begins with a bombshell that rocks the DiMera family to its core—the sudden and unexplained disappearance of EJ DiMera. Along with EJ, several other members of the powerful family vanish without a trace, later revealed to have been kidnapped and held captive under sinister circumstances. The shockwaves ripple quickly through Salem, but no one is hit harder than Johnny DiMera.
Johnny has spent months distancing himself from his father, cutting off communication in an attempt to protect his own emotional well-being. Yet when news breaks that EJ is missing—and possibly in grave danger—Johnny’s carefully built walls collapse. Despite their strained relationship, Johnny is forced to confront a painful truth: he never truly wanted harm to come to his father. The unresolved tension, unspoken words, and lingering resentment now twist into guilt and fear, leaving Johnny emotionally unmoored.
As Johnny struggles to process the possibility that he may never have a chance to reconcile with EJ, old wounds resurface. Feelings of abandonment, unmet expectations, and a lifetime spent in EJ’s shadow overwhelm him. In his darkest moments, Johnny turns to Chanel for comfort, clinging to the one person who still feels like home. But even their relationship—already battered by past trauma—will be tested as Johnny spirals under the weight of uncertainty and regret.
Secret #2: Chanel’s Pregnancy Comes With a Deadly Risk
Just as Johnny grapples with his father’s disappearance, another life-altering revelation crashes down—this time from the hospital. Chanel finds herself at the center of a terrifying medical crisis when test results reveal she is pregnant. While the news should be joyous, it quickly becomes overshadowed by danger.
Sarah Horton delivers the stunning diagnosis, explaining that Chanel’s pre-existing medical condition makes this pregnancy extremely high-risk. The complications could threaten not only Chanel’s life but also the unborn child’s survival. Doctors express grave concern about whether her body can safely endure the strain of pregnancy, creating an atmosphere of dread and anxiety that permeates every decision Johnny and Chanel must now face.
What makes the situation even more overwhelming is the fact that Johnny and Chanel are already parents to a young child. Now, they must navigate the impossible—balancing fear for Chanel’s health, concern for their unborn baby, the needs of their existing child, and the emotional fallout of EJ’s disappearance. Financial pressure, emotional exhaustion, and looming medical decisions push them to the brink. What should have been a moment of hope instead becomes one of the most frightening crossroads of their lives.
Secret #3: A Sinister Investigation Uncovers Dark Hospital Secrets
As the DiMera crisis deepens, the FBI steps in, and Rafe Hernandez takes charge of the investigation. His search for answers leads him straight to the hospital laboratory—an unlikely location that soon reveals unsettling secrets.
Rafe’s sharp instincts zero in on Mark Greene, whose nervous behavior immediately raises suspicion. What begins as routine questioning quickly turns tense, especially when Mark’s sister, Cat Greene, steps in. Fiercely protective and unwilling to trust federal authority, Cat clashes head-on with Rafe, accusing him of intimidation and overreach.
Their conflict only fuels suspicion. What are Mark and Cat hiding? Why does the hospital appear connected to the DiMera kidnappings? As Rafe digs deeper, it becomes clear that the lab may be more than just a medical facility—it could be a key piece of the kidnapping puzzle. Secrets buried in files, test results, and restricted areas threaten to expose a horrifying truth that someone is desperate to keep hidden.
Secret #4: Blood Is Nearly Spilled in the DiMera Crypt
While chaos unfolds above ground, another explosive confrontation brews beneath Salem—inside the ominous DiMera crypt. Chad DiMera finds himself caught in the middle as tensions between EJ and Kristen reach a boiling point.
Kristen becomes convinced that EJ is responsible for placing her daughter, Rachel, into a specialized care facility. Fueled by fear and haunted by past trauma, Kristen jumps to the worst possible conclusion—that EJ has once again crossed a line and endangered her child. The accusation ignites a vicious argument, dredging up old wounds and unresolved hatred.
Words quickly escalate toward violence, echoing through the crypt as emotions spiral out of control. Chad is forced to intervene, desperately trying to prevent bloodshed between family members already fractured beyond repair. Just as the situation threatens to turn deadly, a shocking interruption changes everything—the sudden reappearance of Peter Blake.
Peter’s arrival sends shockwaves through the crypt. With deep ties to Kristen and a dark history connected to Stefano DiMera himself, Peter’s presence raises terrifying questions. How did he escape captivity? Was he truly a victim—or something far worse?
Secret #5: Peter Blake’s Return May Be the Greatest Lie of All
As Christmas approaches, attention turns to Peter Blake’s mysterious kidnapping and equally mysterious return. Peter recounts a harrowing story of captivity, claiming he suffered alongside the other abducted DiMeras. But doubt quickly creeps in.
Some believe Peter is exactly what he claims—a victim who barely survived a terrifying ordeal. Others suspect something far more sinister: that Peter orchestrated the kidnappings himself, staging his own imprisonment to manipulate his wealthy family and regain power within the DiMera empire.
The truth remains agonizingly unclear. Every detail of Peter’s story is scrutinized, and each inconsistency deepens suspicion. Was this crime motivated by revenge? Greed? Or a calculated attempt to dismantle the DiMeras from within? As investigators close in, long-buried secrets begin to surface—secrets the DiMera family would kill to keep hidden.
A Christmas Miracle—and Johnny’s Final Reckoning
Amid the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerges. Chad DiMera is expected to make it home in time for Christmas, reuniting with his children and reminding Salem that even in the bleakest moments, love can survive. Whether his rescue comes from law enforcement—or a surprising act of bravery from Cat Greene—remains to be seen, but his return symbolizes redemption and resilience.
Yet for Johnny, the most life-altering revelation is still to come. Chanel finally confesses the truth about her pregnancy, forcing Johnny to confront a future he never anticipated. The shock is overwhelming. Becoming a father again—under these circumstances—demands maturity, courage, and sacrifice.
With his father missing, his family fractured, and his partner’s life at risk, Johnny stands at a terrifying crossroads. The secrets revealed over these two weeks will reshape his reality forever, proving that in Salem, the past never stays buried—and the truth always comes with a price.
As blood stains the crypt, lies unravel, and hope flickers just in time for Christmas, Days of Our Lives delivers a chilling reminder: no secret stays hidden forever.
