Days of Our Lives Who Died Under the Floor The Truth Leaves the DiMeras SPEECHLESS Days of Our Lives
Salem is about to plunge into one of the darkest, most psychologically disturbing chapters the series has delivered in years. Between December 8th and December 19th, Days of Our Lives will unfold a chilling spiral of secrets, captivity, and a long-buried horror that rises straight out of DiMera history. What begins as a tense abduction storyline erupts into a full-blown nightmare—one that will leave fans shaken and the DiMeras forever changed.
For weeks viewers have watched the sinister web tightening around Chad DiMera, Kristen DiMera, and Tony DiMera, who remain trapped in a claustrophobic underground prison by an unseen enemy. But their ordeal is only beginning. In the next two weeks, this disturbing saga grows darker, more twisted, and ultimately more revealing than anyone imagined.
THEO CARVER BECOMES THE NEXT VICTIM
Salem will be rocked when Theo Carver becomes the newest captive dragged into this underground hell. Theo—one of the town’s gentlest, most innocent souls—finds himself tossed into the cold, foul darkness with the DiMera prisoners. The manner of his abduction is shrouded in mystery, making his sudden appearance even more disturbing.
When Theo finally regains consciousness, dizzy, scared, and aching from whatever method was used to subdue him, the first thing he sees is the grim faces of Chad, Kristen, and Tony. The brutal reality hits him instantly:
They are all prisoners, and whoever is behind this is playing a twisted, planned game.
Chad carries the devastating responsibility of explaining everything to Theo—how long they’ve been trapped, how their captor communicates (or doesn’t), and how their situation is deteriorating by the day. Theo’s arrival doesn’t just increase their numbers; it changes the entire dynamic. Chad and Tony immediately shift into protectors, while Kristen’s mental state, already stretched thin, begins to crack under the pressure.
KRISTEN DIGS INTO MADNESS — AND UNEARTHS HUMAN REMAINS
Desperation pushes Kristen into a reckless state of mania. Whether triggered by a sound in the dirt, a shift in the cold stone beneath them, or simply the madness of confinement, she begins clawing at the packed earth of their prison floor.
With bare hands or makeshift tools, Kristen digs as if trying to claw her way into—or out of—her own destiny.
What she uncovers stops the breath of every captive:
Human remains buried beneath their cell.
A bone fragment. A decayed piece of cloth. Something unmistakably human and horrifying.
In one instant, their underground chamber is revealed not merely as a prison—
but as a tomb.
This discovery plunges the group into a new wave of terror. Their captor is not just dangerous…
He—or she—has killed before.
WHO DIED UNDER THE FLOOR? A TERRIFYING MYSTERY EMERGES
The identity of the skeleton becomes the central question. And the theories are as chilling as the discovery itself:
- Is the body a long-lost victim of Stefano DiMera’s dark empire?
- A family enemy executed and buried, forgotten to history?
- A missing Salem resident whose disappearance was never solved?
- Or someone connected directly to the captives themselves?
The more they speculate, the more sinister the situation becomes. Whoever caged them here has an intimate connection to DiMera history—a connection soaked in blood.
Kristen, Chad, Tony, and Theo are forced to accept one horrifying truth:
They are trapped in the same space where someone else died.
And their time may be running out.
DECEMBER 19TH SHOCKER: THE RETURN OF PETER BLAKE
As fear reaches its breaking point underground, the surface world faces its own seismic announcement. On December 19th, Days of Our Lives brings back a character whose past is steeped in DiMera infamy:
Peter Blake returns — now played by Dan Gauthier.
Peter, Kristen’s brother and Stefano’s adopted son, is a name synonymous with obsession, betrayal, and lethal ambition. His history with Jennifer Horton alone could fill years of storyline, and his disappearance after a dramatic prison escape left dozens of unresolved threads.
His return at this exact moment—with his family trapped underground and a corpse beneath their feet—cannot be coincidence.
But the question is chilling:
Is Peter the mastermind behind the kidnappings?
Or is he the final victim about to be thrown into the darkness with his siblings?
If Peter resurfaces as their captor, then everything Kristen and the others have endured is an elaborate punishment engineered by someone who knows them intimately.
If he returns as another prisoner, then someone powerful enough to outmaneuver even Peter Blake is orchestrating this nightmare.
Either possibility sends shockwaves through the DiMera legacy.
THE CRYOGENIC CHAMBER MYSTERY — ROLF’S TERRIFYING SECRET
Meanwhile, at the Dr. Tom Horton Clinic, another storyline begins burning hotter than ever.
Dr. Wilhelm Rolf—Salem’s mad scientist and chronic boundary-breaker—has been spotted working through the night, buried in experiments that terrify even the bravest staff members.
At the center of his secret lab lies one haunting object:
A fully sealed cryogenic chamber belonging to the DiMeras.
Security is tighter than ever. Access restricted. Surveillance active 24/7.
And inside the chamber…
someone is frozen. Preserved. Hidden.
Fans are already exploding with theories:
- A DiMera once believed dead?
- A political or corporate enemy with vital information?
- A victim of the same mastermind who imprisoned Chad, Kristen, Tony, and Theo?
Rolf’s history of resurrection makes everything possible—and far more dangerous.
THE CATACOMBS OF THE DIMERA MANSION: A PERFECT PRISON
The kidnapping of the DiMera family members appears to have been executed with military precision. Surveillance malfunctioned at exactly the right moments. Staff vanished from their posts. And the captives were moved through passages that only someone intimately familiar with the mansion could navigate.
These underground tunnels—built generations ago—are filled with secrets the DiMeras hoped would never resurface. Instead, they are now being used as a labyrinth of terror.
A prison carved from DiMera history itself.
A POWER VACUUM AT DIMERA ENTERPRISES
With the family held captive, DiMera Enterprises is thrown into chaos. Board members scramble for control. Old rivalries reignite. Opportunists smell blood in the water.
Stock prices waver. Corporate alliances form in secret. Hidden enemies crawl out of the shadows.
And at the center of all the speculation sits one name:
Peter Blake.
His disappearance. His influence from afar. His sudden reemergence.
His involvement seems undeniable—yet impossible to fully pin down.
PETER BLAKE: MASTERMINND OR TARGET?
Years ago, Peter’s prison escape showed just how cunning—and well-connected—he truly was. His name even resurfaced in the 2019 DiMera Enterprises vote, proving he has remained tethered to the family empire from the shadows.
So when he returns on December 19th, fans will finally get answers to questions that have lingered for years:
- Did Peter orchestrate the abductions?
- Are the bones Kristen found tied to him?
- Does he know who is inside the cryogenic chamber?
- Is he returning to reclaim power—or to beg for rescue?
Either way, his arrival detonates a powder keg already lit by Rolf’s experiments, the DiMera storyline, and the chilling mystery of the corpse beneath the floor.
A DARK WINTER AHEAD
As these storylines merge—
the frozen mystery,
the underground prison,
the remains beneath the soil,
and Peter Blake’s explosive return—
Salem braces for one of the most shocking winter arcs the show has ever told. Secrets will surface. Family bonds will shatter. And the truth about who died beneath the floor…
will leave the DiMeras speechless.
The next two weeks promise jaw-dropping twists, emotional confrontations, and revelations that will forever reshape the DiMera dynasty.
