DAYS Spoilers: Javi and Leo Are About to Fight the DiMeras in Salem’s MESSIEST Custody Battle Ever!

By Andrew Thomas 10/17/2025


THE DIMERAS ARE COMING FOR BABY TESORO—LEO’S CRIMINAL PAST ABOUT TO DESTROY HIM

TL;DR: DAYS Spoilers reveal Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) and Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) brace for a courtroom war as Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) move to challenge their guardianship of Baby Tesoro. Accusations of forged papers, Leo’s sketchy past, and Melinda’s messy legal history promise Salem’s juiciest custody battle yet.

DiMeras Go Full Boat Legal Drama

Johnny and Chanel have officially filed to dissolve the guardianship, claiming adoption papers were falsified and Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) looked the other way. Translation: it’s not just about the baby. It’s about who gets to play God in Salem’s next scandal.

Leo’s Reputation on Trial

Leo Stark’s criminal past is front and center. Word is, the DiMeras’ legal team will highlight his history of fraud, deception, and too-many martinis to question his fitness as a parent. Leo might call it “flair,” but the court may have another “F-word” in mind: “felony.”

Javi’s Moral Compass — or Moral Compass Adjacent?

Javi insists this is about love and family, not leverage. But his connection to Salem’s most unpredictable families — Hernandez, Stark, and DiMera — makes that hard to swallow. Is he protecting Tesoro, or is he looking out for the man in the mirror?

Melinda’s Undoing?

Enter Melinda Trask, whose questionable talents at paperwork could destroy everything. Her signature sits on every controversial document tied to this adoption. If she cracks under questioning, Javi and Leo’s entire defense will collapse faster than a DiMera truce.

Who Will Salem Side With?

Fans are split: Team Leo loves his redemption arc and snark-as-armor parenting style, while Team DiMera wants Baby Tesoro raised under the family’s empire (and probably an army of nannies). Either way, Salem’s next trial will have more drama than ten weddings and a blackout combined.

And just when you think you’ve chosen sides? Don’t blink. This is Salem — where custody battles end in explosions, secrets, or sudden resurrections. Baby Tesoro’s future may depend on whichever scandal hits first.
