Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers Apr 20-May 1: Kristen Turns Violent – Jeremy Falls Hard and Gets Smitten!

Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for April 20 – May 1, 2026 stun as Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is getting violent and Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) being totally smitten.

Days of our Lives Spoilers Monday, April 20th: Theo Leaves His Journal Behind

On Monday, April 20th, we’ve got Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) journaling at the pub and then Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) shows up and joins him. So, Theo is being really open with her. They’re having a nice conversation and after he and Gabi talk for a while, Theo takes off, but he accidentally leaves his journal behind. Gabi notices it under the menu, but Theo’s already gone. Gabi turns it around and sees that Theo was writing about his feelings about her.

Plus, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) talks with Rafe about the DiMera honeypot and EJ DiMera‘s (Dan Feuerriegel) sick scheme. Chad DiMera‘s return as Connor Floyd debuts in the recast role could throw Cat’s honeypot plan off. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) turns to Jeremy for comfort again.

And we have Stephanie walking out on Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) for a second time and again leaning on Jeremy. The baby stuff with Trey and the talk about kids and Chad, I think it was just too much for Stephanie and Alex both. Plus, Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) and Lani are excited to see each other. And this, of course, is right as the breast lump crisis is emerging. So, Chanel and Lani spend time catching up.

DOOL Spoilers Tuesday, April 21st: New Chad Debuts

Tuesday, April 21st, we’ve got Cat shocked to see new Chad in Salem with new Thomas and the same Charlotte. Connor Floyd and Alexander Boyd make their debuts as Chad and Thomas DiMera officially on Tuesday, but we may get a glimpse of them on Monday. Autumn Gendron resumes the role of Chad’s daughter. She hasn’t changed.

Gabi and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) enjoy some romance, but is Theo going to be on Gabi’s mind after she read his journal? Of course, she loves Philip, but Gabi’s dirty corporate secret could break them the moment it comes out.

Also, EJ kicks Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) out of the DiMera mansion with her divorce from Dimitri Von Leuschner (Peter Porte). She’s not a DiMera, and EJ’s had it with her sexing Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) all over his house. EJ tossing Gwen out may frustrate Xander, though, because he was spying while over there fooling around with Gwen. Meanwhile, Leo Stark (Greg Rikkart) is drunk on wine and stalking Javi’s new boyfriend online.

Days Spoilers: Leo Grills Gwen

Also, Leo chats up his ex bestie, Gwen. Leo’s trying to dig out info about EJ now that Gwen is annoyed because EJ booted her from the mansion. Leo starts prodding in, you know, poking around saying that Gwen lived under the same roof as EJ. You know, she was around the science lab. Leo wants to know what Gwen knows.

But is she going to tattle on EJ? That would be crazy if she did. Later, Leo takes Gwen back to his room at the Salem Inn. Theo meanwhile hopes his mom Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) finally wakes up and Theo is again sitting vigil at her bedside holding his mom’s hand and kissing it and praying for her to wake up.

Days of our Lives Spoilers Wednesday, April 22nd: Lani Checks in with Kristen

Wednesday, April 22nd, Lani Price (Sal Stowers) checks in with Kristen now that she’s back in Salem to stay. Eli and twins Jules and Carver are also going to be with them, but we don’t have a spoiler on when their air dates will be. Kate Robert’s (Lauren Koslow) tells Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) some more lies. Kate set up Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman).

She humiliated Bonnie Kiriakis (Judi Evans) at the book launch. She embarrassed Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth) as well, so Kate should be worried. Roman is going to be livid once Kate’s lies are exposed. Marlena Evans (Diedre Hall) asked Xander some hard questions, and I wonder if he’s going to confess he saw Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) are closer. Marlena may point out Xander’s hypocrisy since he’s been sleeping with Gwen for a while.

Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Tate Black (Leo Howard) argue. She’s still aggravated at Tate because he’s still with Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate still wants Sophia in prison for drugging him and Holly. Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) takes action about Chanel’s health. I wonder if Johnny’s going to press Chanel to get an appointment or maybe Johnny just goes around Chanel and calls Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and tells her about the breast lump and has her schedule a mammogram because she orders an ASAP radiology test.

Thursday, April 23rd: May Sweeps Kicks Off On DOOL

Then on Thursday, April 23rd, May sweeps kicks off. We’ve got new Chad questioning Gwen and it may be about her living at the mansion and being around EJ a lot. Chad is not exactly a big fan of Gwen’s.

Julie and Jeremy talk and I wonder if he’ll tell Julie that Stephanie keeps turning to him. Julie may warn Jeremy not to get that attached to a married woman. You know, don’t make anything of this. Michael Roark’s last air date on Days of our Lives is April 29th.

Leo invites Javi Hernandez (Al Calderone) out to do something with him. I can’t imagine that he’ll say yes to anything like a date with Leo since Javi’s got a new guy. I’m kind of expecting a polite refusal. Stephanie gets a firearm lesson from her dad, Steve.

I’m a little worried Stephanie may shoot somebody by accident, even with Steve’s lesson. Hopefully Stephanie doesn’t put a bullet in Alex. Meanwhile, EJ is totally blindsided. This could be about his dad Stefano’s will or something to do with Chad.

Friday, April 24th: Joy Wesley Returns to Days

Friday, April 24th, Sarah tears into Xander. He may be prodding her about getting closer to Brady. Might be about dodgy dealings at Titan if Maggie Horton (Suzanne Rogers) vented to Sarah about him and Kate doing dubious deeds. Alex and Stephanie start to smooth some of the issues over in their relationship.

But then she leaves to run an errand, and Alex answers a knock at the door thinking Stephanie left her keys. But it’s not his wife. It’s Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins), his baby mama. And of course, he has no idea about the infant that she should have that should be a couple of months old by now.

Brady is angry, but probably not totally surprised to hear the awful accusations that Kristen slung at his stepmom, Marlena. So, Doc may try to calm Brady down, but he may see that he needs to find a permanent solution to the Kristen problem, maybe just getting her out of all their lives.

And speaking of her, EJ is angry to get a slap in the face from his psycho sister Kristen. And unhinged sociopath Sophia gets a kill order. Kristen calls Sophia and orders her to take the shot. No emotion, no mess. Presumably, this is about killing Johnny.

Week of April 27th-May 1st: First Full Week of May Sweeps on Days of our Lives Spoilers

The week of April 27th through May 1st is the first full week of May sweeps. And of course, Joy Wesley’s back and we should get a glimpse of her baby pretty soon. I wonder if she named the kid Alex Jr. or if it was a girl, maybe Alexandria. That would be kind of interesting.

Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) will reading is going to have surprises in store for EJ, for Kristen, Chad, Johnny, possibly Theo, and others. Interested to see if Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) and Anna DiMera (Leann Hunley) make it home for it.

Lexie is due to wake up. Long overdue, honestly. And since this is the first full week of sweeps, it’s the perfect time with Theo giving up his job and basically sitting vigil at her bedside. EJ’s gotten everything that he wanted with this Lexie thing.

Now, I don’t think that he’s running some kind of con on Theo. Like seriously, you know, EJ loves Lexie. Doesn’t love Kristen, but he does love Lexie. And I do think he is making a good faith effort to wake her up and give her and Theo time together, the life together they were cheated out of.

Days Spoilers: Cat & Chad Still Doomed

Cat’s still hot for Chad, but unless Thomas changes his tune, Chad still can’t date Cat. Plus, Leo and Gwen may be roommates. We’ll find out if Dimitri leaves Salem quietly or lurks to make more trouble. And until Gwen gets her divorce settlement, she may be broke and really need a place to live. And Michael Roark exits Salem as Jeremy Horton in this week. So, his plan was to head back to New York to see his dad, Mike. We’ll see if that comes to fruition.
