Days of our Lives Early Spoilers May 25-29: Gabi Gets Dumped & Paulina Exits!

Days of Our Lives spoilers for May 25-29, 2026 stun as Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) is confronted and she may be dumped. Meanwhile, Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) packs her bags and is ready to exit her marriage.

We will also see more on Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) eyeing an opportunity when it comes to romance. Plus, Anna DiMera causes a lot of trouble. And EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) wonders if he’s going to come out of this resurrection mess unscathed or if he will face charges.

Now, let’s get into what is coming the week of May 25th, and as we always do on early edition day, we’re going to start with what is coming the rest of this week, then dive into next week. So…

Days of Our Lives Spoilers Wednesday, May 20th: Belle & Chad’s Big Date

On Wednesday, May 20th, it is the last episode of May Sweeps. We’ve got Belle and Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) going out for a dinner date. They matched on Salem Singles back in November of 2025. So, this date for Belle and Chad is 6 months in the making. They sit having wine in Horton Town Square. And Belle and Chad find themselves staring at something or someone nearby.

Could be one of their exes, EJ or Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), or possibly both. EJ out with Cat. Gabi goes to make Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) an offer, and he may not be able to refuse it since he is a struggling single dad. Gabi may offer Liam a little stack of cash to either leave Salem with his kiddo or just to dump Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) and never go out with her again. Of course, she’s going to be really mad at Gabi over this stunt because, you know, she’s going to find out.

DOOL Spoilers: Amy Desperate for Justice

Cat has questions for EJ as she told Rafe she’s worried what EJ might recall if he gets a hypnosis session with Marlena. And with Chad and Belle staring, it might be at Cat and EJ. Also, I wonder if he’s going to tell Cat about the hospital board opening an inquiry into his secret science project. And I do wonder if EJ will confide in Cat and if she can squeeze some info out of EJ that might help the ISA with their investigation.

Amy is mourning her daughter Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) on Wednesday. So, we’ll see if Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) team found her body and whether Amy and Jason Choi (Steven O. Young) are going to keep pushing D.A. Bell to press charges against Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) for cyber bullying. Also on Wednesday, Arianna and Holly talk. They’re both struggling with guilt about Sophia’s alleged suicide. And we may see Ari and Holly having different takes on how things went down with Sophia, and they may bicker.

Thursday, May 21st on Days: Xander Runs an Idea by Gwen

On Thursday, May 21st, Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) has a suggestion for Gwen Rizech (Emily O’Brien). Now, remember, she pressed Xander on wanting more than just cheeky fun, so he may offer a compromise to Gwen. Also, remember Leo Stark (Greg Rikkart) and Gwen ran into Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) at the Salem Inn looking disheveled. So, I wonder how long until Gwen realizes that Xander was playing hide the Loukaniko with Kristen. That’s Greek sausage, by the way.

Anna DiMera (Leann Hunely) is a very frustrated woman and Tony DiMera (Thaao Phenglis) tries to reason with her. Now, we know Anna didn’t want to come back to Salem for Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) will reading and she wants to leave ASAP, but Tony may tell Anna he’s got to sort the CEO situation first. Gabi told Tony no, but Theo just told Gabi she would be a great CEO.

This week, Anna is going to head over to Titan and she drops a bombshell on Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). So, I wonder if Anna tells Philip that Gabi planted a bug in the CEO office for Tony and that Gabi’s the reason Tony was able to nearly topple Titan. Anna may think that this will get Gabi to come back to DiMera and take the CEO spot.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Philip Comes Clean to Gabi

We’re also going to see Philip telling Gabi the truth on Thursday. This may be about what Anna tells him that dropped Philip’s jaw, or he may come clean on the Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Bonnie Kiriakis (Judi Evans) book scheme. Meanwhile, Paulina goes to meet Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford). Obviously, Paulina and Lexie both love Abe Carver (James Reynolds), so this should be a very interesting meetup on Days of our Lives.

Lexie wasn’t too keen on Paulina’s shady past when she read about what she did in Salem. But Lexie did admit to Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) that she’s been not quite an angel either. And Theo is pressing his dad, Abe, to not put off a decision about Lexie versus Paulina. So, we’ll see if Lexie is going to be Abe’s choice or if it’s going to be Paulina.

Abe hinted to EJ that he would stick with Paulina, but we know Theo would prefer his dad with Lexie. And this week, Paulina tells Abe that she is moving out and her bags are packed. So, it sounds like she’s ready to exit her marriage after her chat with Lexie. The question is, will Abe agree to let her go?

Days of our Lives Spoilers Friday, May 22nd:

On Friday, May 22nd, Xander surprises Sarah. She already treated Xander’s kinky sex injury. I’m sure Sarah knows he was lying because he had ligature marks on his wrist. So, I wonder if Xander’s going to tell Sarah he and Gwen are done and over. I’m guessing he’s not going to admit to smashing Kristen because Sarah hates Kristen even more than she dislikes Gwenny.

Kayla and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) discuss their long-running romance. Expect loads of flashbacks of Kayla and Patch over the years. Mary Beth Evans has hit her milestone 40 years as Kayla. We’ll also see Steve ask if Kayla’s ready for another adventure. And she tells Steve with him by her side, she’s always ready. He and Kayla and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) are supposed to be packing off to China for Tripp Dalton (Lucas Adams) wedding to Wendy Shin (Victoria Grace).

I’m also wondering if Stephanie is going to leave her gun casually in the desk drawer and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) finds it and freaks out when she’s back from China for just leaving a gun unsecured. Now, his daughter Kelsey is going to be visiting and she can’t grab it yet, but it’s very careless.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Gabi: Philip Kaput?

Gabi confesses on Friday. She may finally tell Philip the truth about working with Tony. We know that Gabi has wanted to come clean to Philip for a while. And unless it’s a fantasy sequence in Gabi’s head, things are about to get dicey because Philip tells Gabi he’s done. Philip says he doesn’t want anything to do with her and tells Gabi, “Pack your things and get the hell out.” She’s completely shocked. So, wait to see if this is a fake out promo scene or the real deal and Philip and Gabi are truly done.

I know Theo would be excited if they split. Gwen is surprised to see her dad, Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford), at her door at the Salem Inn on Friday. And Gwen asks, “Why is Jack there?” Maybe it’s about father-daughter bonding, or it may be about Lexie’s resurrection. By the end of the week, Xander circles back around to Kristen and wants more despite the excruciating pain from their last intimate encounter.

And I wonder if Leo or Gwen will spot him with Kristen. Stephanie checks in on Alex. So Stephanie may be calling from China if they’ve left by then because she’s got to go to her brother’s wedding. And she told Alex to stay in Salem and not go along and just spend time bonding with Kelsey.

Week of May 25th-29th on DOOL: Stephanie Heads to China

The week of May 25th through the 29th, we could see Marlena Evans (Diedre Hall) putting EJ under hypnosis. He really wants to know more about his time in Italy at the hospital with Cat, but of course she’s worried EJ will remember something that will out her as ISA. Holly may need a lawyer soon, and I’m sure Justin Kiriakis (Wally Kurth) would take the case. Steve, Kayla, and Stephanie are heading off to China, and I wonder if something will happen with Alex while she is gone out of town.

Jack may want something from Gwen. Looks like Jack came to Salem with an agenda. Ari may grill Liam if he takes a step back from her. No doubt she’s going to find out Gabi approached Liam with an offer and Ari’s going to be big mad.

But if her mom just got dumped by Philip, things could turn really explosive between mother and daughter. They’ve been fighting a lot lately. Paulina is planning to move out, but will Abe stop her? Theo is there to comfort Gabi and we know he wants lots more from her. And Alex, Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) and Kelsey share some sweet moments bonding.
