Days of Our Lives Spoilers Next 2 Weeks: Secret Plans Spring Leaks, Old Lines Get Crossed, and a Startling Admission Rocks Salem
Spoilers Updated: 10-5-26 at 6:00 PM ET
SALEM’S SECRET KEEPERS ARE RUNNING OUT OF PLACES TO HIDE
Johnny faces a tough decision with Chanel by his side, Joy’s plans hit a snag when Sarah and Tate get involved, and Marlena makes a startling admission to Belle. Here’s everything brewing in Days of Our Lives over the next two weeks.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: This Week (October 5-9)
Monday, October 5
On Days of Our Lives, Johnny DiMera walked into the Salem police station and gave Belle Black and Jada Hunter a statement about the Coriseal contamination and the cover-up that followed. He told them he had no part in the original crime, but he did leave that clue to save Holly. His lawyer walked out when Johnny insisted on going ahead, and Belle told him they don’t have anything yet to charge anyone with. Johnny vowed to tell what he knows anyway. Chanel Dupree was worried, but she stood by her husband.
Over at the hospital, Joy Wesley hid her pills from Kate Roberts and said she had nowhere to go once she’s discharged, since rehab places won’t let her bring Kelsey. So she called Alex Kiriakis and asked if she and Kelsey could stay with him. Stephanie Johnson, who had just been handed a date night by her husband, rolled her eyes and then nodded yes, and Alex told Joy it was very temporary. Alone with Kelsey’s photo, Joy promised it will not be. Kate also went over the final paperwork for Maggie Kiriakis‘s sale of the mansion and asked whether Maggie was sure about what she put on the disclosure form.

Tuesday, October 6
Rachel Black gives Brady Black cause for concern, Roman Brady surprises Kate, and Theo Carver agrees to lend Gabi Hernandez a hand, with Tajh Bellow stepping in as Theo for this one episode. Philip Kiriakis has a plan up his sleeve.
Wednesday, October 7
Sarah Horton and Tate Black throw Joy’s plans into jeopardy, Jada Hunter and Shawn Brady share a romantic moment, and Leo Stark‘s good day takes a sudden turn. EJ DiMera confronts Rita about Dominic Marino, and Brady lands in a spot that forces a tough call.
Thursday, October 8
Dante Vitali arrives in Salem and surprises Sydney DiMera, and Paulina Price stands firm and refuses to turn her back on Lani Price. Chanel asks Johnny to make her a promise, Marlena Evans delivers a startling admission to Belle Black, and Jada presses EJ with questions.
Friday, October 9
Joy is unhappy with the discharge orders Kayla Brady Johnson hands her, Stephanie and Alex steal a private moment, and Belle turns to Chad DiMera for help. Kristen DiMera tracks down Sophia Choi, alive and waiting tables as “Amelia” at a diner in Paducah, Kentucky, and Steve Johnson receives concerning news from Johnny.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Next Week (October 12-16)
Expect Johnny’s confession to snowball. He went to Rafe on October 2, then gave Belle and Jada a statement on October 5 and lost his lawyer over it, and with Chanel asking him for a promise and Steve getting concerning news from him by Friday, none of this is going to stay contained. We’d bet it lands on EJ’s doorstep sooner than anyone is ready for.
Watch for Joy’s carefully managed situation to get harder to maintain. Sarah and Tate are now in the mix, Stephanie nearly walks in on her at a bad moment, and discharge orders she hates could box her in, so don’t be surprised if the people who have been quietly helping her start asking what exactly they were helping with.
We’d bet on the Dominic mystery getting a lot more personal. Marlena’s startling admission to Belle, EJ squeezing Rita, and Dante’s arrival in Salem all point toward a bigger reveal, and Steve and Brady are determined to get the DNA proof. Someone is going to run out of cover very soon.
Then there’s Kristen. Finding Sophia alive in a Kentucky diner hands her a problem she thought she had buried, and we’d bet that discovery doesn’t stay in Paducah for long.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: The Big Stories Right Now
Joy’s House of Cards
Joy’s muscle relaxers arrived in a package from her father, and she was groggy by the time Kayla told her the nerve conduction results were abnormal. She claimed she just hadn’t slept. Alex has kept Stephanie at arm’s length to protect the custody deal, leaving Stephanie stuck on the sidelines, and on October 5 Joy talked her way into Alex and Stephanie’s home with Kelsey after hiding her pills from Kate. Alex calls it very temporary. Joy, talking to Kelsey’s picture, does not sound like she agrees. Now Sarah and Tate put Joy’s plans in jeopardy, a preview has Stephanie knocking on her door at exactly the wrong moment, and Kayla’s discharge orders leave Joy with little to smile about. When a story like this starts to unravel, it tends to take everyone nearby with it.
Johnny’s Impossible Choice
Johnny helped cover up EJ’s illegal activity, and he promised Chanel he would tell her everything once he set things right. Sydney urged him to let the FDA investigation play out rather than turn on their father, but Johnny decided coming forward was the better gamble. On October 2 he went to Rafe, told him the FDA complaints were legitimate and that EJ knew about Coriseal, and Rafe promised to stand by him. On October 5 he gave Belle and Jada a statement at the police station, owned up to the clue he left to save Holly, and kept going even after his lawyer walked out. Belle says they don’t have anything yet to charge anyone with. Chanel stood by him, she asks him for a promise on Thursday, and on Friday Steve gets concerning news from him. Whatever comes next, he is risking his marriage, his family and his freedom.
Dominic Marino and Marlena’s Secret
A birth certificate listing Stefano and Marlena as Dominic’s parents has turned Marlena’s dream about Stefano’s island, which she wasn’t sure was a dream or a memory, into something much harder to dismiss. She asked Steve to keep it quiet, told Brady herself, and Belle has already apologized for pushing too hard. Then on October 2 Marlena demanded to know from Rita whether Dominic is her son with Stefano, and EJ walked in and heard the question. Now Marlena makes a startling admission to Belle, and EJ confronts Rita about Dominic, which suggests he is hunting for answers of his own. Dante’s arrival in Salem adds fuel, since he was Dominic’s boarding school roommate. The Stefano game keeps getting more tangled, and everyone has a stake in how it ends.
Philip’s Plan and Gabi’s Offer
Philip saved Titan with a gambling windfall and handed Maggie her ring back. He told Maggie the gambling was a one-time thing, and he promised Kate and Gabi he won’t gamble again. He is also back with Gabi, and now he has a plan, which should make everyone a little nervous. Theo agrees to help Gabi, so a new partnership is taking shape alongside the romance. Kate’s plan to assist Maggie shows the family is circling the wagons around Philip, whether he likes it or not. The poker chip he keeps twirling suggests the temptation hasn’t gone anywhere.
Brady’s Worry Over Rachel
Rachel gives Brady cause for concern on Tuesday, and a preview has her in a hospital bed in pain, telling Brady, “No, I want mom,” when he promises Sarah will take good care of her. Kristen has been gone for months, and her daughter wants her more than ever.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers FAQs
Will Joy’s plans survive Sarah and Tate?
It looks doubtful, since the spoilers say her plans are put in jeopardy. Joy has already had to explain away how groggy she was after her test, and discharge orders she dislikes could push her into a corner.
What is Marlena’s startling admission to Belle about?
The show hasn’t said, but it follows weeks of Marlena wrestling with Dominic’s birth certificate and her island memories. It may well circle back to Stefano.
What happens now that Johnny went to Rafe?
He told Rafe the FDA complaints were legitimate and that EJ knew about Coriseal, and on October 5 he gave Belle and Jada a statement about the Coriseal cover-up and owned up to the clue he left to save Holly. His lawyer walked out, and Belle says they don’t have anything yet to charge anyone with. Chanel asks him for a promise on Thursday, and Steve gets concerning news from him on Friday, so the fallout is only starting.

Yes, it will be sad that she is dying. She was very unfair in her decision to treat Paulina like nothing. Paulina was strong to pull away & deserves recognition.

Chad did a wonderful job telling Cat what he really thought of her. He didn’t hold anything back. She should have told Chad from the beginning who she really was. I think his family would have accepted what she was doing.
