Summer Twists Rock Salem as DAYS Drops Sizzling Sneak Peek Featuring Big Returns
TV Insider first reported on the show's brand new summer sizzle reel. This preview of what's ahead includes what happens after Sophia (Rachel Boyd) gives birth to her and Tate's baby. Here's the story that Sophia's sticking to: 'The adoptive parents were with me when I gave birth. They wanted to take her home right away.'
But Sophia is telling nothing but lies. In a very This is Us-like development, it looks like the teen may have left her baby somewhere safe…for someone else to care for. 'Whoever's baby this is, she left him in the safe-haven box at the fire station,' a uniformed Javi (Al Calderon) says as he holds the baby. Later in the trailer, it looks like Javi and Leo (Greg Rikaart) may take care of the baby.
Other storylines tackled in the preview are the 'Who Shot EJ' mystery, which moves on to Johnny's trial. While Rachel (Alice Halsey) testifies, it seems like Marlena (Deidre Hall) may hold the key to wrapping that story up. 'You know who shot EJ, don't you?' Belle says to her mom.
Meanwhile, those thugs who are after Doug III (Peyton Meyer) must pop up again. Because both Ari (Marissa Reyes) and Holly (Ashley Puzemis) are kidnapped. Who will ride to their rescue? And the Kiriakis clan tries to prevent their empire from crumbling.
MORE: Here's what's going on this week on DAYS.
After a spring filled with big returns due to John's death and Bo's coming out of his coma. This summer will provide even more, including Sami (Alison Sweeney), who gets to reconnect with her mom for the first time since Marlena lost the love of her life.
As reported months ago, Gwen (Emily O'Brien) is headed back to Salem. Is she in cahoots with EJ (Dan Feuerrigel) this time around?
The trailer briefly jumps ahead to November to preview the show's 60th anniversary. 'With the opening of the Dr. Tom Horton Free Clinic, my grandfather's legacy will continue to serve the community,' Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) announces. In the audience are Mike Horton (Roark Critchlow) and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford).
Will (Chandler Massey) makes another return, as does Eric (Greg Vaughan), which means twins Sami and Eric get to reconnect, too. Will he tell her what's going on with him and Nicole (Ari Zucker)?
MORE: Salem's Queen of sass: DAYS' Cherie Jimenez celebrates one year of Gabi greatness.
Spotted are plot twists like a darker Sophia Choi, a Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Tony (Thaao Penghlis) team-up, and a potential surprise pairing for Paul Telfer's Xander. In addition, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) kiss! So do Chad (Billy Flynn) and Cat (AnnaLynne McCord).
Somebody might get stabbed, and something's wrong with Marlena. What does her crisis have to do with Stefano DiMera being alive? And what about this mysterious Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) ending?
'It's almost time, Father.' Assuming this is Rolf, who is he looking at? It can't be Stefano, right?
DAYS is giving fans plenty of reasons to stay inside this summer and beyond.

Kenny Chesney's Blockbuster Album Earns Its First New Award In Decades
Kenny Chesney's No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems reaches five-times platinum status, marking its ... More first new RIAA certification in over 20 years. Kenny Chesney performs during the first ever CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards at the Gaylord Entertainment Center in Nashville, Tennesee. 6/12/02 Photo byIn 2002, Kenny Chesney released No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems, and the album would prove to be not only his breakout commercial success, but also one of the biggest country releases of its era. Years after the project turned Chesney into a star and a household name, Americans are still consuming the full-length — and the title earns a special new award from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) that shows that no matter how much time goes by, people haven't moved on from the project. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems: 5x Platinum No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems has been certified five times platinum by the RIAA, which means it has now shifted five million equivalent units between actual sales and streaming activity. Many of those — several million copies — are pure purchases, while the most recent million were likely largely made up of plays on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, which have taken over as the go-to consumption site for millions of Americans. First Certification in Over 20 Years No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems earns its first certification from the RIAA in more than two decades. The full-length was named a four times platinum winner in April 2004, and now, in July 2025, it's advanced to five times platinum status, adding another one million equivalent copies. The set was first named gold, and then platinum, on June 4, 2002, just months after its release. Later that year, it went double platinum, and it only needed about two years to hit four-times platinum status. Kenny Chesney's Most Successful Albums Three of Chesney's albums are tied as his highest-certified, at five-times platinum each. No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems matches both When the Sun Goes Down and his Greatest Hits compilation. Neither of those efforts has advanced in several years, so this ranking could change again soon. Multiple New Certifications for Kenny Chesney At the same time that No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems reached quintuple platinum, Chesney's The Road and the Radio pushes from triple platinum to quadruple platinum. 20 of his songs also score new awards from the RIAA, with a handful going gold for the first time, while his biggest hit jumps to five-times platinum.

Backstreet Boys deliver stunning concert to devoted fans at Sphere in Las Vegas: Review
LAS VEGAS – 'Sometimes I wish I could turn back time, impossible as it may seem,' the Backstreet Boys crooned on their 1997 smash 'Quit Playing Games (With My Heart).' At their Sphere residency, which kicked off its 21-date run July 11 at the visual playground in Las Vegas, the quintet absolutely reveled in nostalgia, turning back time for a sold-out crowd that proudly rocked Backstreet Boys T-shirts or all-white outfits in a nod to the "Millennium" album cover. The sight of Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean caused a level of ear-splitting adoration that has been trailing the guys for 30 years. But, as with every live performance at the Sphere, this was more than a mere concert, it was a thrill ride, and the vibrating haptic seats and nonstop visuals elicited shrieks in their own right. More: Backstreet Boys setlist: All the blissful pop songs from Sphere Las Vegas residency The nearly two-hour joyride came with a futuristic spaceship theme – a nod to their bazillion-selling 'Millennium' album, the celebratory theme of these Vegas shows – from the moment the fivesome launched from below the stage for the wonky pop-funk of 'Larger Than Life.' From there, this mission control was set to stun – as in stunning – for a romp through pristinely sung ballads overflowing with yearning (Carter and Littrell can still sell an emotion with clenched eyes and balled fists) and gleaming pop anthems buffed to a melodic sheen. As challenging as it can be to appreciate the artists as much as the visual elements at the Sphere, the Backstreet Boys kept fans' enraptured with a set design that maximized fan interaction. A pair of catwalks jutted from the oval stage, allowing the guys to roam into the crowd while hitting their dance moves. 'We are full of gratitude tonight,' said Richardson, who pulled his shoulder-length cascade of hair into a man bun during the show. 'I've cried at least four times tonight already,' added McLean, his tough guy exterior counterbalanced with a pink knit cap and blue painted nails. Those emotions were evident in Richardson and Littrell during 'The Perfect Fan,' an ode to moms (earlier in the concert, Dorough gave a shoutout to his 91-year-old mom who was in the audience). As childhood photos of the guys scrolled by, Richardson choked up missing some opening lyrics and Littrell pinched the bridge of his nose to prevent tears. The joy emanating from the largely millennial devotees was palpable, from the white clothing blanketing the stands to the breathless commentary throughout the concert. 'I can't breathe!' shrieked one woman at the opening of 'Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely,' while 'No One Else Comes Close,' a silky early-career ballad that teeters on its tenuous sexuality, prompted commentary usually heard at Chippendales. And, let's face it, the Backstreet Boys were – and still are – masters of perfectly harmonized bridges ('I Want It That Way') and glorious key changes (the underappreciated 'Shape of My Heart'). While the Sphere setlist aimed to appease every level of fan – 'Hey' from 'Millennium 2.0' and the deep album track 'Siberia' from 2005's 'Never Gone' being the two mavericks of the bunch – the adrenaline of the final batch of songs would enthrall even the snarkiest music purists. 'I Want It That Way' marked the first time a Sphere concert has involved a moving apparatus. The guys stood atop a platform that rose astoundingly high (seriously, who could blame Littrell for leaning against a metal bar anchored in front of him?) during the finger-snapping pop behemoth while lasers zigzagged around them. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sphere (@spherevegas) They remained aloft for 'Get Down (You're The One for Me')' in a recreation of the song's 1996 video, including a massive mirror ball and hundreds of video squares that stacked to the top of the venue. The Backstreet Boys own the distinction as the first pop act to play the Sphere, which has hosted U2, the Eagles, Dead & Company, Phish and Kenny Chesney. That their popularity has barely waned in nearly 30 years is commendable. But this new triumph is proof that what might feel like a fad in the moment can become a legacy.

Benny Blanco admits he never saw Selena Gomez's show 'Wizards of Waverly Place' until they started dating: 'I knew she was a kid star'
Wizards of Waverly Place made Selena Gomez a star, but her fiancé Benny Blanco admitted that he never watched the show. On the latest episode of the Therapuss With Jake Shane podcast, Blanco said he asked Gomez to watch her Disney Channel sitcom ahead of her appearance on the reboot, Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. "I knew she was, like, a kid star, but I had never seen any of it," he said of his fiancée. The music producer's only familiarity with the show was with its theme song, as Billie Eilish had used the tune as inspiration for her track "Bad Guy." Initially hesitant, Gomez agreed to watch the original Wizards with Blanco, who said she showed him "a few good scenes.""I get it," he said. Blanco also shared that he had never heard of the Jonas Brothers until the group came out with "Sucker" in 2019, despite Gomez dating Nick Jonas when they were both Disney kids. Blanco attributed this to the fact that he was older than Disney Channel's target demographic when Gomez and the Jonas Brothers were associated with the network. Gomez returned to her role as the mischievous Alex Russo on Wizards Beyond Waverly Place last year and is expected to appear in the upcoming second season. Listen to the entire podcast episode with Benny Blanco below. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
