Days of Our Lives spoilers for September 28-October 2, 2026 stunned Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) sinks to a new low with a brand new plan to destroy Alex Kiriakis’ (Robert Scott Wilson) marriage. Plus, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) may cross a big line she’s been warned not to cross.
Also, next week, September 28th through October 2nd, we’re going to see Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) go blind and some key memories return and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) take a big risk for Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). So, let’s dive into it.
And as we always do on the day of the early edit, first we’re going to go over what’s happening in the last couple of days of this week and then we’ll get into what’s coming up next week.
Days of Our Lives spoilers: Leo & Javi get together
So let’s talk about it. Thursday, September 24th Days of Our Liveswe’re going to see Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) testing the waters. So it looks like they’re going to start rekindling their romance now that Gus (Michael Ocampo) and Dmitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) are both out of the way. The question is, are Gus and Dmitri gone for good or will Javi and Leo get back together, come back and get in their way?
Also, Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh) tells Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) not to go back. Johnny doesn’t want his younger sister Sydney to be dragged into the EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) mess. Basically Johnny was stuck neck deep in it now. But Sydney is a daddy’s girl and will probably stick around to help EJ sort this out or to help Johnny sort things out.
DOOL Spoilers: Chad supports Belle
Belle Black (Martha Madison) relies on her boyfriend Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) when she’s worried. So, Belle may be worried about Marlena and her opinion of the Dominic Marino photo from 1992. Or maybe Belle shares with Chad this scary news about Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) and Dominic and the overlap they found out about him.
Because Sydney told her sister Belle and Grandma Marlena she had heard Dominic’s name. But Sydney said she never met him. And then Belle told Sydney and Marlena that Sami Brady’s (Alison Sweeney) boyfriend Dante Vitali and Dominic Marino were dating classmates. So that means Dante and Dominic are both smart.
Cat Greene’s loyalty to EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is questioned this week. Cat criticizes EJ about how he knows exactly what’s going on and Cat says she does too. So I wonder after this argument if Cat and EJ end up in bed together because an argument leads to nookie on soap. We’ve all seen it. If Cat wants to stay close to EJ, she can take her honeymoon scheme to the next level by jumping into his bed. Even though Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) directly ordered Cat not to have sex with EJ.
Days of Spoilers: Paulina Goes Rouge
Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) directly opposes the wishes of Lani Price (Sal Stowers) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens). We know that Paulina has been considering trying to get a pardon from Lani from the governor and we will see if Paulina has anything to do with her daughter’s life or just one. They may have given her some advice. Maybe Chanel and Lani have talked to Paulina about Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and they are worried that she is not taking their advice.
Friday, September 25th Days of Our LivesKate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) officially to the Spectators by Chad. I think she’s a Metro editor, a city editor. Kate’s Leo is working on podcast concepts and he’s excited. Kate can also use the file Spectators platform to strike back at EJ DiMera. Because of what he did to the Kiriakis family.
Also, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) decide to give up their broken relationship. Now that Philip has forgiven Gabi for cheating and she gave Philip that $5 million loan that helped him save the money Titan. That was a game changer. And I wonder if Gabi is going to invite homeless Philip to stay with her at Hernandez’s house.
Marlena is troubled by a new nightmare. She has had these random memories of her time on the island under Stefano’s control and the quilt with the Celtic cross on it. So, we see more evidence that Marlena is Dominic’s mother. Maybe a video of Marlena with a baby bump or even holding a baby.
DOOL Spoilers: Bearers of Bad News
Then Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) and Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) give Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) bad news about Dominic. After Steve talks to Bo and Hope, we’re going to see Steve go over to Marlena and he tells her that they were able to find Dominic Marino’s birth certificate. Steve shows Marlena a digital copy. And Marlena’s reading out Stefano DiMera is Dominic’s father. And Marlena says, “And the mother.” She just looks shocked. So it seems to be her name there. But we will know by the end of the week.
Belle is going to be very shaken to find out that she and her ex EJ share a brother, which also means that Belle and her current boyfriend Chad now share a brother, which is very strange. But very typical soap opera. I’m interested to see if Dominic is going to want a relationship with Belle, or if he hates her, like he seems to hate EJ because Dominic is clearly plotting against his older brother.
Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) and Sarah suspect foul play. They know that EJ is behind this investigation into Destiny’s death, but I wonder if we will see Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) return if Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) goes ahead and asks him to intervene on Sarah’s behalf with Destiny’s family and stop this farce.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Dominic’s Story Revealed?
Then the week of September 28 to October 2 onwards Days of Our Livesmaybe Marlena has more flashbacks. Maybe about her time on Stefano’s island related to Dominic, maybe as a child. Also, Sydney is going to make herself at home in Salem. She has decided to stay for a while longer, and I think it is going to turn into a long-term visit and not just a short stay. And by the way, Titan it might not be safe after all.
Dominic could make a move on the bleaching company and Philip said they just need to get the money he won from the casino before EJ’s due date to pay off the loan. Therefore, Dante can delay the move. Because Dominic asked him to. He can even buy out the loan under EJ or something like that. I suspect that Stefano’s new son is trying to fulfill his father’s wish by ending the Kiriakis family personally and professionally.
Days spoilers: Theo accepts Gabi’s offer?
Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) may decide to take that job at Gabi Chic. He was telling Abe that Gabi wants his computer to follow the rabbit hole to the IP address of whoever Leo found on the dark web about the fake product. So, this might be weird for Theo since he had that unrequited crush on Gabi and now she’s back with Philip. So, that might be difficult. But he’s targeting Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) right now, too. Actually, he’s focusing on not trying to focus on Stephanie.
Dante appears to be helping Dominic destroy EJ. And we are going to find out if Sami is a pawn in the game. Maybe Joy will be able to trick him through these medical tests with those relaxed muscles her dad Craig sent her. So, she might be able to keep that fake paralysis going for a while longer. Joy should be out of the hospital soon and she could pressure Alex to stay with her until she recovers. So, maybe he’ll take her home to the place where he’s been keeping Kelsey.
Philip and Xander work to rebuild Victor’s empire. Let’s see if so Titan slip through their fingers. And we’ll see if Philip is done with gambling or tempted back into addiction. Xander is going to risk things for Sarah. It could end in danger with EJ over Sarah. It’s harder for Johnny to keep the truth from Chanel. And Theo and Stephanie may cross that line, especially if she goes out. Because Alex has to do even more hands-on care with Joy.
