Days of Our Lives: Shock Twist! It’s NOT Stefano, EJ, or Rolf Bringing Abigail Back?!
In Salem, where secrets rarely stay buried and the dead never seem to rest for long, a chilling mystery begins to surface—one that threatens to upend everything fans thought they knew about Abigail DiMera’s tragic fate. For months, viewers have mourned the beloved heroine, believing she met her end at the hands of a ruthless criminal conspiracy. But whispers now echo through town, hinting that Abigail’s “death” may have been nothing more than an elaborate illusion. What if the truth about her disappearance has nothing to do with the usual suspects? What if Stefano, EJ, and even Dr. Rolf aren’t the masterminds behind her possible resurrection?
This explosive storyline shakes the core of Days of Our Lives, promising a resurrection mystery unlike anything Salem has seen before.
A Murder Shrouded in Shadows
Abigail’s apparent death has long remained one of Salem’s most tragic chapters. The town mourned deeply when she was believed to have been brutally murdered—an act tied to the dangerous drug network she was relentlessly investigating. Clyde Weston, the infamous overlord behind the drug ring, had every reason to silence her permanently. She was too close, too sharp, too fearless. And so, when Abigail vanished under horrifying circumstances, Clyde quickly became the prime suspect.
But now, eerie doubts are creeping in. Rumors swirl that Abigail’s grave may not contain a body at all. Is it possible she didn’t die in that merciless attack? Could she have been taken, hidden, or preserved somehow? And by whom?
Clyde’s recent shooting—and the coma that followed—only deepens the mystery. Just before losing consciousness, witnesses claim he may have tried to reveal a secret, something that would “change everything.” Was he about to confess? Or warn Salem about a bigger threat lurking in the shadows?
A Secret Lab… But an Unexpected Mastermind
Whenever the dead rise in Salem, all eyes turn to one infamous scientist: Dr. Wilhelm Rolf. And EJ DiMera’s recent suspicious behavior hasn’t gone unnoticed either. Both men have a dark history of bending science, morality, and even fate to their advantage. Rumors quickly ignite that they are once again plotting to revive Abigail.
But here’s the twist—this time, they might not be the ones pulling the strings.
While fans speculate that Abigail could be suspended in some high-tech chamber or cryogenic capsule hidden deep within a DiMera lab, sources suggest a new puppeteer is orchestrating these events. Someone far more unpredictable… and far more personal than Rolf or EJ.
Still, the presence of a mysterious facility, strange equipment, and quiet references to “Project Phoenix” continue to fuel the buzz. If Abigail truly has been kept alive in a state of suspended animation, then the identity of the person behind her captivity becomes the biggest mystery Salem has faced in years.
Chad DiMera’s Hope Rekindled
No one stands to be affected more by this revelation than Chad DiMera. The love of his life—his anchor, his partner, the mother of his children—was ripped away from him too soon. He has spent months lost in a haze of grief, guilt, and unbearable loneliness.
So when whispers begin circulating that Abigail might not be gone after all, Chad feels a familiar spark—hope. The kind he’s terrified to believe in, yet helpless to resist. If Abigail is alive somewhere, if she’s waiting for him, if she can be brought home… Chad will stop at nothing to make it happen.
But hope is a dangerous thing in Salem, especially when secrets and lies threaten to tear families apart.
Clyde Weston’s Coma: The Key to Everything
As Clyde lies unconscious, so too does the truth. If he regains consciousness, he could expose a conspiracy bigger than Salem ever imagined. Was Abigail’s murder staged? Was she kidnapped? Is she undergoing some kind of experimental procedure? Or is she being protected from an even greater threat?
The possibility that Clyde holds the answer sets the entire storyline on a ticking clock. His recovery could unleash revelations that reshape alliances, expose villains, and reopen old wounds.
A Resurrection Pattern? Salem Thinks So
Fans have begun speculating about what they’re calling the “alphabet resurrection theory”—a bizarre but intriguing pattern connecting characters with names starting with A who have died tragically or mysteriously. Could Abigail be the first in a chain? Names like André DiMera and Adrienne Kiriakis are starting to surface in fan theories. Dr. Rolf’s lab, long tied to supernatural science, could become the epicenter of a series of jaw-dropping returns.
But this time, the mastermind behind Abigail’s disappearance may not be Rolf at all—meaning Salem is heading into uncharted territory.
A New Player, A New Alliance
With an unknown puppeteer hiding Abigail away, the stakes skyrocket. If she returns, will she remember everything? Could her mind have been altered? Will she come back herself—or someone entirely new?
And what of the people who love her? Jennifer Horton, Thomas, Charlotte, and Chad will all face consequences they never expected. EJ’s history with Abigail adds another layer of unpredictable drama. And Clyde’s potential awakening could blow the secret wide open.
Salem is bracing for impact.
Part Two: Thursday, November 20th, 2025 — Chad Makes a Desperate Move
As the resurrection theories consume Salem, Thursday’s episode shifts focus to the emotional fallout unraveling inside the Horton home. Chad arrives seeking answers, support, anything to steady himself—but instead finds a storm waiting for him.
Jennifer, already burdened by weeks of painful decisions, excuses herself the moment Chad enters. The distance between them has grown to a chasm. Chad doesn’t even have time to process before Jeremy steps into the room, dressed in black leather, radiating tension and mystery. Is he the stalker haunting the family? The audience doesn’t know—but the suspicion lingers.
Jeremy advises Chad to “take the high road,” but then gently suggests he move out temporarily to ease the children’s stress. Chad’s calm breaks instantly. To him, this is betrayal—a push out of his own home, out of his children’s world, out of the last pieces of Abigail he still clings to.
Before the fight explodes, little Charlotte bursts in, proudly showing her Thanksgiving artwork. The moment softens Chad’s rage, grounding him in the love he still has.
But peace doesn’t last.
Jennifer’s Breaking Point
Jennifer heads to the Kiriakis mansion to speak with Justin about something she has been dreading. She believes she has no choice—she must file for custody of Thomas and Charlotte. Chad, she fears, is becoming unstable, overwhelmed, and unable to prioritize the children’s emotional safety.
Justin warns her: this decision could destroy Chad.
Her voice breaks… but her resolve stands. “I won’t let anything else be taken from them.”
The Custody Bombshell
Returning home, Jennifer finds Chad playing sweetly with Charlotte—perhaps the calmest he has been in weeks. But that calm shatters when Jennifer hands him a stack of legal papers.
Custody filings.
Chad’s world collapses in seconds. The betrayal, the heartbreak, the fear—it all crashes down on him as he stares at the documents.
His voice is low, cold, shaking with fury.
“I’ll see you in court. I’m not letting you take my babies.”
The Night Falls — And the Fight Begins
Jeremy later warns Jennifer that Chad’s heartbreak is deeper than she realizes. That he overheard Chad saying goodbye to the children through the bedroom door. That Thomas never came out. The pain is suffocating—but Jennifer stands firm.
At the town square, Kate spots Chad walking toward a hotel, carrying a bag, his shoulders heavy.
He finally admits the truth: “Jennifer is suing me for custody.”
Kate tries to ask questions, but Chad can’t speak. Not tonight. Not when everything he loves is slipping through his fingers.
He walks away alone—toward a hotel room filled with fear, regret, and the knowledge that the war for his family has only just begun.
As the mystery of Abigail’s disappearance collides with the custody battle tearing her family apart, one thing becomes clear:
Salem is on the verge of a revelation that will change everything.
And whoever is behind Abigail’s possible return…
It’s someone no one sees coming.
