Days of our Lives Early Spoilers Jan 19-23: Brady Drops Explosive Ultimatum – Dimitri Brutally Framed!

Days of our Lives early weekly spoilers for January 19th through the 23rd expect Brady Black‘s (Eric Martsolf) ultimatum and Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) getting framed.

We start with what is coming the rest of this week and then we’re going to talk about what’s coming next week. We’ve also got some big casting news for you that we will get to in just a minute.

Wednesday Spoilers: Gabi Hernandez’s Kiss and Gwen Rizczech’s Plot Against Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera

On Wednesday, January 14th, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) is listening to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart). He’s acting as a sounding board for some advice. Obviously, Leo wants Gabi Hernandez (currently Cherie Jimenez) back, but now Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera has kissed him. This is interesting because Leo also just did some “bro bonding” therapy with Xander Cook (Paul Telfer). I wonder if Leo is going to be hung over when he and Chad are talking.

Chad may encourage Leo to tell Gabi about the kiss, but little do they know, Dimitri already did that. Meanwhile, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) asks her best friend Arianna to join a sorority with her. We know Holly soon goes blonder, gets snarkier, and starts being nasty to her boyfriend and her BFF. Is Holly going to turn into a Stepford sorority sister?

Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) questions Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and may need some details to set Dimitri up to look like the crypt kidnapper. She wants to get him locked up so she can keep all the money. I bet Kristen will have no issue helping Gwen take down Dimitri.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Sophia Gets Help

Plus, Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) ropes Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) into helping her escape. She is going to pretend to be Sophia during bed check. Rachel already helped Sophia by stealing a stack of cash from her father, Brady Black’s wallet. Sophia claimed she needed a new cell phone, but she may have wanted the money for something else. We’ll see if she gets busted based on other spoilers for this week.

Finally, Brady talks about Basic Black with Tate Black (currently Leo Howard). Brady may just be reminiscing about John Black’s (Drake Hogestyn) legacy, or he may be asking Tate to consider an internship at Titan to work within Basic Black and keep John Black’s company alive. Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) would probably push for that even if Xander pushed back.

Thursday Drama: Sarah Horton Blasts Xander Cook and Brady Black’s Ultimatum

On Thursday, January 15th, we see Sophia Choi wearing a black hoodie and sneaking around Horton Square. Maybe she is looking to buy a cell phone, or maybe she has more devious deeds in mind because Arianna sees her. This is a friend who is supposedly catatonic, yet she’s creeping around when she should be locked up in Bayview. I wonder if Sophia will attack her or pretend to be lost. She’s pretty good at lying on her feet.

Maggie Horton Kiriakis goes ranting to Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) this week, most likely about Xander firing Brady Black. I also wonder if Maggie will tell Julie that she senses a blossoming romance happening between Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Brady. Additionally, Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) has some advice for Rachel Black. I wonder if Jeremy is going to visit Bayview to tutor Rachel or drop off classwork. Jeremy knows the consequences of being a troublemaker and may advise Rachel to stay on the straight and narrow.

Sarah blasts her ex-husband, Xander Cook. I’m sure she thinks he had no right to fire Brady. I expect Xander to justify it as a business decision, but I doubt Sarah buys it.

Brady opens up to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). I think he’s going to tell her what the therapist at Bayview said: he has to make both Rachel and Kristen DiMera understand that he is never getting back with Kristen.

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) gets congratulations from her best friend, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu). I wonder if Stephanie is going to ask Jada to be her maid of honor. Stephanie is also going to fill Jada in on the stalker situation and the dark web threats. Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) wanted to take this to the police, so Jada is the perfect person to talk to, though she may hand the case to Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer).

Friday Spoilers: Lab Break-ins and Leo Stark’s Revenge

On Friday, January 16th, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) tries to break in somewhere, likely the lab. Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) is supposed to be headed to Alamania to question Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) about the CCTV footage from the crypt. Rafe told Cat Greene that she should try to get into that lab while her boss, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), is out of town in Italy. It would be interesting if she gets in and finds her brother working down there.

Gabi Hernandez gets some upsetting news. I wonder if Leo Stark admits that Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera kissed him and he felt something. Unless, of course, the bad news is that Sophia Choi has snatched baby Trey. I expect that is coming.

Gwen Rizczech gets the third degree from Leo at the end of the week. It looks like Dimitri has already told Leo that he is pretty sure Gwen kidnapped him. Leo doesn’t care that she kidnapped Dimitri; in fact, he wants Gwen to repeat the crime. Leo tells Gwen, “Please make Dimitri disappear once and for all.” He wants his happily ever after with Gabi and knows Dimitri will be an ongoing problem.

Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) has a heart-to-heart talk with Theo Carver. She may tell him about her frustrations with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) over this high-risk pregnancy. They may also talk about whether Theo Carver intends to return to DiMera as CEO. Abe Carver (James Reynolds) wants Theo Carver away from the DiMeras, but the winter promo shows Theo Carver standing strong with them. Plus, Johnny has a tip for Rafe Hernandez that might help with the Alamania excursion.

Days of Our Lives Casting Shock: Four Major Actors Fired

Before I get into the action for next week, I have some major news. Four cast members were fired. Four actors came back from their Christmas break to find out they were canned from Days of our Lives.

It involves two couples: Johnny DiMera, Chanel Dupree, Tate Black, and Holly Jonas were all axed from the show. Since they film nine to ten months ahead, we won’t see these exits until October or November of 2026. We don’t have firm exit dates yet, but check back tomorrow for a full video on these firings.

Early Spoilers January 19-23: A Stalker’s Trap and a Shocking Shooting

For the week of January 19th through the 23rd, Brady Black wants to figure out what is next. Is he going to bartend at the pub, do volunteer work, or spend more time with Rachel Black at Bayview?

Liam may be hiding a dark secret. I think Sarah Horton is going to follow up on how he got that cut on his hand because it seemed very suspicious.

Stephanie Johnson, Alex Kiriakis, and Steve Johnson get ready to set a trap for her stalker. However, we know their plan is not going to go well. Stephanie is going to wind up kidnapped from the hospital when Alex and Steve are not there to watch her. Plus, Shawn-Douglas Brady is going to wind up shot, and the groundwork for all of this is being set up right now.

Kristen DiMera may help Gwen Rizczech get rid of Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera in exchange for dirt to use against EJ DiMera. Gwen is thinking about framing him for the kidnapping, but they could always just hand him over to Rafe Hernandez.

Brady is likely going to start with Kristen to make it clear he won’t ever be with her again and ask her to help convince Rachel, but I don’t know if Kristen is going to play ball. Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Chad DiMera’s dinner date is coming soon, and EJ will be back from Italy to find out how badly Gwen has screwed up in his absence. I wonder if he stopped in Alamania himself to look for info on Peter Blake’s (Jason Brooks) possible accomplice.
