Days of Our Lives, the popular NBC Peacock series, is set to celebrate Independence Day 2025 in grand style. The soap opera has a historic tradition of marking the Fourth of July with memorable moments. The previous years have seen the likes of Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) and Lani Price (Sal Stowers) making history in Salem, Will Horton (Chandler Massey), and the Brady and Horton families hosting barbecues, and Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) and Hope Williams Brady's (Kristian Alfonso) iconic first kiss on July 4th, 1983. 

DOOL sees the Salemites will continue to celebrate the national holiday with picnics at the lake, downtown fireworks, and more. In 2008, Bo Brady had a meaningful conversation with his father-in-law, Doug Williams (Bill Hayes), about his daughter Chelsea Brady (Rachel Melvin) dating an older man, Dr. Daniel Jonas (Shawn Christian). In 2019, Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) was asked to judge whose burger was the best between Rex Brady (Kyle Lowder) and Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan), both vying for her attention. 

Days sees the most historic moment was in 2020, when Eli Grant and Lani Price tied the knot on the Fourth of July week, making them the first African American couple to ever get married on screen on the soap opera. Eli and Lani's love story is still going strong, and fans are excited to see them back soon.

Days of Our Lives sees this year, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) might have a big moment under the fireworks during Salem's 4th of July celebration. This could be a very romantic evening for the couple, with more family drama to come in the following weeks.
