Days of our Lives spoilers, March 18: Are Xander and Theresa ready for war?

Here are your Days of our Lives spoilers for Tuesday, March 18, 2025.

What to expect on Days of our Lives

As far as Xander (Paul Telfer) knows, Theresa Donovan (Emily O'Brien) is behind bars for trying to cheat him out of his birthright, among other things. Imagine his surprise when he runs into Theresa in Horton Town Square. He can't believe she has been released already and is no longer paying for trying to ruin his life.

Theresa and Xander have been enemies for years — ever since Victor (the late John Aniston) made his long-lost son his gardener while Xander thought he was only Victor's nephew. Theresa falsely accused Xander of attacking her then and battle lines were drawn. Now, Theresa is back ready to make her mark in Salem again — and might even want her job back at Titan. Of course, that would also cause problems with Alex (Robert Scott Wilson), considering she lied to him about his identity, as well.

Xander gives Theresa a warning to stay out of his business and out of his life, but Theresa is always looking for trouble and making Xander miserable is one of her favorite pasttimes.

Stephanie's worst nightmare

Stephanie (Abigail Klein) might be relieved that Joy (AlexAnn Hopkind) isn't pregnant with Alex's baby — or so she thinks — but that doesn't mean the possibility is not still on her mind as evidenced by her latest dream. Stephanie imagines that a very pregnant Joy stops by her apartment. She wakes from her dream with a start and alarms Alex. Stephanie is happy to realize she was only dreaming — even if it was a nightmare.

Alex and Stephanie have no idea that Joy lied to them and the pregnancy test really did say she is now with child. Joy will try to hide this surprise pregnancy as long as she can while she starts her new job at Titan. Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) is on hand to help Chloe's little sister get situated, but will he notice she is in a pretty bad way emotionally and realize what is really going on? Might Philip soon end up posing at Joy's baby daddy, which will make things quite complicated, indeed? Time will tell...
