Will ‘Days of Our Lives’ air a new episode on July 4, 2022?

Viewers tune in every day to watch their favorite Salem characters. Yet, in recent weeks, the NBC soap opera has been preempted because of news and sporting events. With Monday being Independence Day, fans wonder if there will be a new episode.

According to TV Guide, Days of Our Lives will air a new episode on July 4, 2022. There will be plenty of fireworks on Monday’s episode and throughout the rest of the week.

What to expect from the July 4, 2022 episode?

The July 4, 2022 episode of Days of Our Lives won’t be a celebratory one for two Salem families.

Grieving widower Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) receives support from his friends Will Horton (Chandler Massey) and Sonny Kiriakis (Zach Tinker). Tony and Anna DiMera (Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley) return for the solemn occasion. Meanwhile, Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) and JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) clash over Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien).

Meanwhile, Ciara’s brother Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) is in danger. His baby mama Jan Spears (Heather Lindell), is keeping secrets from him, and she feels the walls closing in on her. The villain has a trick up her sleeve when she lures Shawn to the docks.

However, Jan’s plan may backfire. By the end of the week, Shawn meets with his estranged wife, Belle Brady (Martha Madison). The couple might be taking steps toward reconciliation because Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) warns Belle’s current beau EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), to prepare for heartache.

Speaking of EJ, he makes a confession to his half-brother Chad this week. Could his confession have something to do with the arrest Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) makes in Abigail’s murder?
