Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers July 20-31: Lexie’s Heartbreaking Deathbed Crisis & Leo Panics

Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers for July 20 – 31, 2026 scare with Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) collapsing in public and being rushed to the hospital where she is on her deathbed soon. Plus, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is in panic mode and determined to save his bestie Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien).

Also, in the two weeks from July 20th through the 31st, expect to see EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) trying to tie up loose ends as things continue to unravel for him. Plus, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is desperate to avoid consequences and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) faces an emotional shocker.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Holly in the Hot Seat

On Monday, July 20th, it’s the last day of July sweeps. And we know that Tate Black (Leo Howard) found the pills in Holly Jonas’ (Ashley Puzemis) bag on Friday. So, we’re going to pick back up with that on Monday. And of course, we know that EJ planted the Coriseal while Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) are away. Tate has to tell Sarah about the pills he found.

She’ll confirm they’re Coriseal and they assume the worst of Holly. So then Tate and Sarah confront Holly about the pills. And Holly’s asking Sarah if she can go home, Sarah says she can’t. And when Holly asks why not, Sarah says because of the pills and waggles the little packet of drugs that EJ planted. So Holly’s going to be stunned when Tate says he found them in her bag. Holly insists the pills are not hers. They will not believe her.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: EJ Sets Holly Up & Apologizes to Cat

And when Tate asks if they can talk, Holly explodes at Tate in front of Sarah. And Holly’s going to explode at Sarah. Also, she feels like everybody is accusing her except EJ, which is really sad because he is the one who’s setting Holly up. Also, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) gets an apology from EJ. And this may be because she’s stressed out.

She’ll lose her job if EJ can’t keep the hospital. Not that Cat’s really stressed out about it, but EJ may tell Cat he’ll straighten it out. And EJ may be feeling cocky since he’s got Gwen on ice, so she can’t finish the deal to buy the hospital. And of course, Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) will wonder why Gwen is ghosting her.

DOOL Spoilers: Lexie’s Terminal Collapse and Escape Plans

Leo admits something to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) in therapy, something difficult, and it may be Leo saying that he realizes he’s lost Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez) for good. Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Belle Black (Martha Madison) discuss the clue from the chess set and the letter and they realize that all the clues are pointing to Italy. Sounds to me like we’re going to get a trip to Venice or wherever. But of course Days of our Lives can’t afford a location shoot. So, they’re going to set dress one of those Salem rooms to look like an Italian hotel, I’m sure, and just use stock footage of Europe.

So, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) is listening as Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) is griping. I suspect this is her venting to her FBI brother Rafe about the counterfeit bag that Gwen bought. And of course, she showed Gabi a couple of websites that were selling her fake merchandise. On the plus side, Gabi should have a large deposit in her bank account, which is her inheritance from Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) estate.

Days Spoilers: Foster Apologizes to Julie

Then on Tuesday, July 21st, we’ve got Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) getting an apology from Foster. I’m sure it’s about him bailing on the concert. Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) and Lani Price (Sal Stowers) have a nice time celebrating their anniversary. Eli surprises Lani with a gorgeous necklace and a fun afternoon at the Salem Inn. Gabi stuns Xander and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) when she drops the bombshell on them that she’s got the money.

But she’s taking back her offer to bail out Titan. Gabi will not invest her DiMera inheritance in them. And Xander and Philip are shocked and they want to know why she changed her mind. So, I wonder if Xander’s going to push Philip to guilt Gabi into investing. I doubt Xander’s going to let her walk out the door without him doing all he can to change Gabi’s mind.

Kristen has this brilliant idea that she and Lexie need to leave Salem together. She already warned Kristen about EJ’s plan to snatch her up and Lexie’s going to need a caretaker as she withers away and dies. So, the DiMera sisters may cook up an exit plan. Of course, it’s going to go awry, but they both have to say goodbye to loved ones first.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Kayla Makes Cat and Offer

Then on Wednesday, July 22nd, Cat gets an offer from Kayla. Is this Kayla offering Cat a job where she can stay at the hospital once EJ’s officially out? Of course, Cat really probably doesn’t want that job because she works for the ISA and she’s only there to spy on EJ. Gabi teams up with Leo. I suspect it’s about Gwen. This week, Leo stops by Gwen’s room at the Salem Inn and he realizes her bed wasn’t slept in.

So, Leo knows Gwen didn’t make it back the night before, and he may tell Gabi that Gwen warned him if something happened to her, that EJ did it. Holly angrily denies taking pills and keeps insisting they’re not hers. Tate and Sarah don’t seem to believe her. We’re going to see a crying Holly with her bags packed. And it looks like she might actually walk out of the hospital when Sarah’s back is turned.

Tate’s back, too. Sarah asks for Xander’s help. But I wonder if Sarah will tell Xander about the drugs that Tate found in Holly’s bag and ask if Xander saw the pills since he’s the one who packed her things. If he confirms that Holly’s bag was empty before he packed it, that might signal to Sarah that there’s more to this.

EJ’s worried and talks things through with Rita. This may be about him losing the hospital or Johnny being so upset with him or maybe about EJ’s guilt over setting up Holly.

DOOL Spoilers: Goodbye Moments and Exposed Conspiracies

Thursday, July 23rd. We have Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) telling Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) his feelings. So, it sounds like Shawn is falling for Jada. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) is venting to Belle. I’m sure it’s another tirade about Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins). Speaking of that, Chad is there for Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) who’s feeling torn on all sides.

Kristen has a sweet moment with Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote). And as Brady watches with tears in his eyes, Kristen is hugging Rachel and telling her, “You are my heart and my greatest treasure.” And Kristen tells Rachel that she wants her life to be bright and beautiful. Clearly, Kristen’s planning on ditching her daughter, and Brady may realize this is some sort of goodbye.

Lexie and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) renew their vows. Lexie seems to want this final moment before she bails on Theo and Abe so they don’t have to watch her die all over again. But Lexie isn’t going to make it out of Salem. And she and Kristen’s whole plan to run off isn’t going to work out. Instead Lexie is going to wind up in the hospital and we’ll see. But she may collapse at the vow renewal.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Johnny Goes Off on EJ

Then on Friday, July 24th, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is blasting EJ with accusations. He’s asking Johnny, “What’s this about?” And he wants to know if EJ planted the drugs in Holly’s bag. Well, of course EJ did, but will he actually tell Johnny? He’s been pretty transparent with him, but I don’t think the more criminal things like kidnapping Gwen and things like that are things that EJ will share with his son.

Sarah and Xander share a peaceful moment. Despite them getting closer, Sarah and Brady will soon swap “I love yous.” And Kayla and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) are worried about what is ahead. There’s trouble at the hospital with Coriseal. There’s the EJ stuff, trouble with Stephanie’s marriage that’s not going away ever, and lots more happening. Leo convinces someone to help him.

This may be about Gwen, especially if this person is the lawyer that Gwen used to hold that stack of EJ’s secrets and receipts that can expose him. Leo’s supposed to get them after Gwen’s been gone a certain amount of time, but Leo may try to get those materials earlier to force EJ’s hand, so he has to give Gwen back.

Days Spoilers: Lexie’s Final Days and Unraveling Conspiracies

The week of July 27th through the 31st, Kristen’s time is just about up. After Lexie collapses, she’ll wind up at the hospital after the vow renewal with Abe. That was supposed to be their final moment before Lexie slunk off to die with just her sister at her side. Abe and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) are panicking as Lexie begins to slip away. They’re facing losing her again.

And while Abe is going to rage at EJ when he comes to the hospital, as this goes on, he and Theo may ask EJ if there’s any way to stop what’s happening to Lexie. So, their desperation may have them looking for any solutions to keep her with them, even if that means turning to EJ. Gabi may offer Theo her support once she hears what’s going on with his mom, Lexie. And Holly is frustrated with her life with the lawsuit, with Sarah and Tate and Brady and others, thinking she’s taking pills.

So, Holly may consider bailing on Salem because life is too hard for her there. Cat does more hypnosis with Marlena soon, and we’ll find out just how deep she got in with EJ in Italy, and Belle and Chad could take the DiMera private jet to Italy following the next clue they get. But there was that Irish symbol as well, so we’ll see how it goes. Also, soon we’re going to see the guy who’s keeping track of them on spy cameras who’s orchestrating the delivery of all these clues.
