REVEALED AT LAST – Who’s Been Locking The DiMeras In The Crypt!
Salem’s biggest mystery gets solved on Monday’s Days of Our Lives—and the answer will shock everyone! Could it be? Is it really Peter Blake?! The rumors are swirling and we can’t wait!
Peter (now played by Dan Gauthier) is Kristen DiMera’s biological brother and one of Stefano’s adopted children, making him part of the DiMera legacy. But clearly, being part of the family hasn’t stopped him from systematically grabbing his relatives and throwing them into the family tomb!
Friday’s cliffhanger showed Peter himself getting dumped in the crypt—bound and gagged! When Chad and Theo discovered him, they had no clue who this stranger was. But Kristen recognized her brother immediately and rushed to embrace him. Once freed, Peter claimed he’d wanted to visit sooner – a couple decades sooner, apparently, as he’s been missing for more than twenty years – but EJ had supposedly kidnapped their mother Rachel Blake, preventing him from coming! His story sounded shady from the start, with vague details about when and where he supposedly saw their mom.
Peter hasn’t appeared in Salem for a couple decades. His last major storyline involved setting up Jack Deveraux for his “murder” and forcing Jack and Jennifer into hiding with a traveling circus. After prison time, Peter vanished—but resentment against the DiMera clan apparently festered!

Holly’s Paris Dreams Get CRUSHED When Tate Drops A Bombshell
Tate Black faces an awful task Monday on Days of Our Lives—telling Holly Jonas their romantic Paris getaway is OFF!
Holly and Tate planned this winter break trip as a fresh start after the Sophia Choi nightmare. They bought tickets, made arrangements, and Holly was counting down days! But Monday, Tate shatters those dreams!
Two factors forced Tate’s decision. His Salem University grades crashed to a 1.9 GPA, landing him on academic probation! Taking a vacation while academically failing isn’t an option!
Additionally, Brady asked Tate to prioritize Rachel’s Bayview Christmas. Rachel shot EJ, attempted harming Sarah, and now faces psychiatric treatment. Learning she won’t be home for Christmas devastated Rachel, and Brady wants Tate helping make the holiday bearable for his troubled sister.
Tate’s choosing family duty over romance—admirable but painful! Holly endured Sophia’s schemes, a dorm fire destroying her belongings, and watching Tate agonize over a baby that wasn’t his. Paris represented their relationship’s salvation!
Now Holly might feel discarded! She may resent Tate prioritizing Rachel over their relationship, despite understanding it’s honorable. Could this cancellation destroy their already-fragile romance permanently?
Marlena Gets Comfort From Paulina About Rachel’s Crisis
Guilt consumes Marlena Evans over Rachel’s situation, but Paulina Price provides crucial emotional support Monday!
Marlena concealed Rachel’s EJ shooting because Kristen requested secrecy. Both hoped Rachel’s memories would return when emotionally ready for processing. But Marlena’s unexpected hospitalization for Lyme disease left Rachel without psychological guidance when memories DID resurface!
Rachel spiraled dangerously, targeting Sarah. Brady discovered his daughter’s capabilities and chose Bayview admission. Now Brady blames Marlena—believing earlier honesty could’ve prevented Rachel’s escalation. He’s banned Marlena from Rachel’s psychiatric team, though permits grandmother visits.
Marlena questions every choice, wondering if breaking Rachel’s confidence immediately might’ve prevented disaster. Paulina—experienced with complicated family secrets causing unintended consequences—perfectly understands Marlena’s anguish. Monday brings reassurance that Marlena acted reasonably given available information!
Belle Offers Brady Guidance Through His Chaos
Brady needs Belle’s wisdom desperately! Between Rachel’s psychiatric care, banning Marlena from treatment, relocating to the Kiriakis mansion, and confusing feelings about Sarah—Brady’s overwhelmed!
Belle may counsel Brady about eventually forgiving Marlena, strategies for Rachel’s healing, his developing Sarah connection, or balancing Tate’s needs against Rachel’s crisis. Brady values Belle’s perspective, and she understands complicated family dynamics from personal experience with custody battles and difficult relationships!
Monday sets everything in motion for Christmas week’s dramatic events as Salem processes Peter’s betrayal, prepares for the crypt rescue, and watches romantic complications explode!
