Days of our Lives ends the week with Johnny in the hot seat thanks to his favor to his father. According to spoilers for Friday, July 10, 2025, Brady and Steve do more investigating, plus Leo tries to play the sympathy card.
Getting to the Bottom of Things

Johnny (Carson Boatman) knows that Chanel (Raven Bowens) needs some cheering up, so he has a gift for her...or maybe even multiple gifts. Chanel is surprised to see that Johnny and Paulina (Jackee Harry) bought her some fashionable wigs while she undergoes chemo. Hair loss is commonplace, but there's no reason for Chanel to feel down about it.
When Chanel models the blonde wigs, Brady (Eric Martsolf) stops by. He and Steve are deep into their investigation, trying to figure out how the coriseal ended up in Holly's bloodstream. The water sample only showed arsenic, so something isn't adding up. Between that and the book on Sarah's (Linsey Godfrey) desk, they know that they have a mystery on their hands.
With Johnny being the newest CEO of DiMera Enterprises, Brady starts with him. The coriseal is connected to DiMera Pharmaceuticals, so what does Johnny know? Surely, Chanel (Raven Bowens) will start to grow suspicious after all these questions, but there's little doubt that Johnny will continue to lie for now. He may also realize that he is in over his head.
Johnny never wanted this and now he finds himself doing his father's dirty work again with seemingly no real way out.
Leo's Games, Steve's Assurances

When Leo (Greg Rikaart) sees Javi (Jacob Martinez) at the Brady Pub, he reverts to his old ways and fakes feeling dizzy to gain Javi's sympathy. He has another concussion, so it's not odd that he would be feeling this way. However, it's all a lie, and Javi will soon see that.
Leo doesn't like resorting to trickery but he feels so down on life and down on his luck now that he can't help himself.
Stephanie (Abigail Klein) is also not having the best day. She still feels out of sorts over everything that happened with Owen (Wes Ramsey) and Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins), so Steve assures his daughter that she is not alone. However, that doesn't mean Joy isn't going to be a big problem.
Is Stephanie right to be annoyed by Joy? Will Chanel forgive Johnny for doing EJ's bidding? Let us know what you think in the comments.
