Days of Our Lives Spoilers Next Two Weeks: Stephanie Johnson Betrays Alex Kiriakis

TL;DR: Days of Our Lives spoilers next two weeks: Alex works out that Stephanie erased Joy’s frantic voicemail, then walks in on a shirtless Theo asleep on her couch. Meanwhile EJ loses the hospital and Holly gets framed.

Alex Kiriakis Comes Home To A Shirtless Theo Carver

Days of Our Lives spoilers next two weeks put the ugliest scene in Salem on one living room couch. Alex Kiriakis works out that his wife, Stephanie Johnson, deleted a frantic voicemail from Joy Wesley on the night Joy crashed her car with baby Kelsey inside. Joy and Kelsey both come through it. Alex does not come through it nearly as well.

Here is where the writers get cruel. On the same stretch of episodes, Theo Carver is drowning. Abe has finally confessed that he cut a deal with EJ to shove his own son out of the DiMera Enterprises corner office, and Theo takes that news to Small Bar and drinks it down with Stephanie. He is too far gone to drive, so he crashes on her couch. Then Alex gets home from the hospital and finds him there with his shirt off.

Two scandals, one room, and only one of them is actually a betrayal. Fans hunting every angle on this mess can find more Salem chatter over at our friends covering the show, because this one is going to be argued about for a while. Alex has spent this entire year clawing his way into being a real father to Kelsey. Stephanie hit delete on the one call that mattered.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers Next Two Weeks: EJ DiMera Loses The Hospital

Over at University Hospital, the walls close in. Kayla tells EJ DiMera that the state board has revoked his ownership rights, which strips him of the one lever he was using to bend toxicology results his way. He erupts at Johnny, then turns startlingly soft with Cat, who is supposed to be running a trap on him and is instead catching feelings. Nobody in Salem is playing the hand they meant to play.

The cruelty does not stop there. Tate Black goes digging through the bag belonging to Holly Jonas and finds pills that were planted to make her look like an addict. He and Sarah confront her. She is poisoned, terrified, and now being called a liar in her own hospital bed, and those pills trace straight back to the tainted Coriseal cover-up. Days of Our Lives spoilers next two weeks suggest Tate and Holly may not survive it as a couple, because she is not going to forgive a boyfriend who believed the pills over her.

Did Stephanie Johnson Cheat On Alex Kiriakis With Theo Carver?

No. Nothing in the spoilers says Stephanie and Theo slept together, and the drunk crash on the couch reads as exactly what it looks like, a friend who could not drive home. That is the trick this story is pulling, and it is the thing nobody else is saying out loud. The couch is the noise. The deleted voicemail is the crime. Alex is walking into a room where the innocent thing looks damning and the damning thing already happened.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers Next Two Weeks Point Toward A Reckoning

Elsewhere, Lexie Carver confesses to Marlena that Rolf’s miracle was only a loan and she is dying again, then drops the same bomb on Kristen DiMera. Kristen is already unravelling over Rachel’s release from Bayview and what EJ might do about it. Chad and Belle finally crack a piece of Stefano’s chessboard puzzle, Gabi finds unlikely common ground with Gwen, and Leo runs straight into Javi and Gus in the worst possible way.

Then Xander Cook Kiriakis and Kristen get closer while plotting EJ’s ruin, Gabi reaches for Ari and comes back empty, and Lani and Eli get a rare soft landing with a belated anniversary necklace. My gut tells me EJ losing the hospital is the loose thread that unravels the whole Coriseal cover-up. Don’t be surprised if Johnny is the one who pulls it.

Which betrayal cuts deeper, the voicemail or the couch? Drop your verdict in the comments and let the rest of Salem argue with you.

The Voicemail Is The Betrayal, The Couch Is Just Furniture

We are going to say the unpopular thing. Theo asleep with his shirt off is a nothing burger, and Alex is going to spend a week screaming at the wrong crime. Stephanie deleted a call from a woman in a wrecked car with his daughter in the back seat. That is the line. You can love Stephanie, and plenty of people do, and still admit she cannot come back from that with an apology and a sad face.

The other side of this argument is just as loud, and it goes like this: Joy has been leaning on Alex for months, Stephanie is watching her marriage get colonized by a co-parent, and one panicked delete does not undo a year of trying. Both of those can be true. Pick your side and come fight about it on our Facebook page, because this one is splitting the room clean down the middle.
