Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers Jan 12-23: Dimitri’s Steamy Romantic Move – Kristen Enraged & Unleashes Fury!

Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for January 12-23, 2026 reveal Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) getting romantic and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) being absolutely enraged.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Dimitri Shocks Leo

On Monday, January 12th, we’ve got Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera shocking Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart). We’re going to pick up again where we left off Friday with him putting a big old kiss on his ex who just married Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon).

And then Dimitri shocks Leo even more after the shocking kiss. Dimitri may tell Leo that he’s divorcing Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) and going to stick around Salem. Certainly, he’s going to say he is not ready to give up on Leo.

Leo’s Unexpected Encounter with Xander on DOOL

After that shocking and off-kilter chat with Dimitri, we’re going to see Leo running into Xander Cook (Paul Telfer). It looks like they are outside Marlena Evans’s (Deidre Hall) apartment. Maybe both of them needed to talk to her. But the two guys end up together, Leo and Xander, at Brady Pub sharing their woes and a bottle of booze.

And if Leo tells Xander what Gwen did with Dimitri, I can’t imagine that he will be surprised at all. Javi, meanwhile, is down in the dumps in Horton Town Square when Dimitri finds him and makes a bad day worse. I’m sure he’s going to tell Javi that he won’t give up until Leo is his.

And Javi is going to get some comfort from Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) on Monday. She’s also busy comforting an upset Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) who has been fired by Xander. His dad’s legacy business, Basic Black, seems to be finished. Sarah may have more comfort for Brady behind closed doors when they’re back at the mansion later.

Maggie Confronts Xander Over Titan Business and Basic Black’s Fate

Meanwhile, Mama Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) is going to lay into Xander. Of course, she’s livid that he fired Brady. Maggie’s take is that maybe Brady hasn’t been at work as much as he should, but he’s got to focus on Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). Xander is going to say no matter what, it’s business. Titan can’t keep Basic Black afloat. Times are really tight and they can’t afford a losing division.

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) has an idea, but Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) are going to hate it. I wonder if she’s going to insist on resuming the book tour and suggest maybe they can use the trip to lure and trap her stalker. She doesn’t want to be locked down and she doesn’t like Alex taking this decision out of her hands. I agree.

Next week, Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) is going to see Stephanie and Alex’s engagement announcement in the Salem Spectator and he’s looking pretty annoyed by it. Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) walks up as he’s glaring at his tablet, and I wonder if Jeremy will share his frustrations with her.

Cat’s Investigation and Dimitri’s Deception of Rafe

On Tuesday, January 13th, we’ve got Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) with questions for Gwen. Now, as far as she knows, Cat works for EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and has no idea she works with Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and is working for the ISA. So, the questions may seem just casual curiosity and benign. Cat may be asking about EJ—where he’s gone, when he’ll be back—or about Dimitri’s sudden return to Salem.

Elsewhere, Dimitri is making up a story for Rafe. Now, he may be trying to implicate Gwen, or he may be covering for her because he plans to get revenge on his own. Brady gets an update from Rachel’s doctor on Tuesday on Days of our Lives. Of course, Brady’s very concerned that Rachel seems to be on a seemingly endless stay at Bayview, and he wants his little girl home, but she did try and murder her uncle. So, yeah.

Sophia Plots a Bayview Escape and Kristen Seeks Sarah’s Help

Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) wants Rachel to do her a favor. We know Sophia is plotting a breakout. Rachel asks what Sophia is going to do and she needs Rachel’s help.  It looks like she may get a stack of cash for Sophia somehow and is also going to enable the escape to happen. Kristen persuades Sarah about something.

Maybe it’s to go ahead and let her out of the hospital. Kristen wants to go home. She’s distraught about Peter Blake’s (Jason Brooks) death. Or it could be something to do with Rachel or maybe even Brady. Also, next week, Liam is up at the hospital. Looks like his son may need some medical attention, but Sarah wants to know what’s up with Leo’s It looks like it’s pretty badly cut, and I wonder if Sarah’s about to get suspicious.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Kristen DiMera Questions Gwen Rizczech and Sophia Choi’s Secret Scheme

Wednesday, January 14th, we’ve got Kristen questioned by Gwen. Of course, right now, as she’s grieving, Kristen is focusing solely on EJ. That’s where all her hatred is aimed. And Gwen may consider double-crossing EJ if Kristen can help her keep her cash. Of course, EJ is going to be super mad about the whole Dimitri debacle.

Sophia gets Rachel to help her get out of Bayview. She’s going to hide in Sophia Choi’s room again to fool the nurse at bed check. Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Brady are talking about Basic Black this week and of course he’s upset Xander fired him. Brady is beyond upset that his dad’s company may be shuttered.

Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) begs Arianna Hernandez Horton (Marissa Reyes) to join a sorority with her and rush week. This sorority thing could be what turns Holly into an annoying little Stepford sorority sister who is annoying Ari and Tate. Leo leans on Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn). Of course, he wants Javi back, but then Dimitri kissed him. So, I wonder if Chad’s going to advise Leo to open up and tell Javi everything and follow his heart.

Days of our Lives Thursday Spoilers: Sophia Choi Returns to Salem and Xander Cook Explains the Firing

Thursday, January 15th, we’ve got Julie listening to Maggie ranting. I’m sure it’s about Xander firing Brady. Sophia is creeping around Horton Town Square in a black hoodie, but Ari recognizes her. Sophia is supposed to be catatonic and at Bayview. So, will she talk to her or just run away from Ari? Xander gets an earful from Sarah, obviously, about firing Brady.

I’m sure Xander is going to explain it was a work issue. I think it was to some extent, but Sarah also knows that he’s jealous. And then Brady is going to open up to Marlena about being fired and the update from Rachel’s doctor. We also have Stephanie getting congratulations from her bestie Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) on her engagement to Alex. Jeremy has some advice for Rachel. I wonder if Jeremy upbringing brings schoolwork to Bayview.

Friday’s High Stakes: Leo Grills Gwen and Cat Attempts a Break-In

Friday, January 16th, we’ve got Javi getting upsetting news. Leo is grilling Gwen. I’m sure Dimitri told Leo all about the dirty deeds he thinks Gwen has done. But that’s kind of okay with Leo. He’ll keep quiet if Gwen will do it again. He wants her to re-kidnap Dimitri and get him out of town so Leo can just settle down to happily ever after married life with Javim

Cat tries a break-in. Could be down in the secret lab since EJ is gone. Could be the DiMera tunnels. Theo and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) have a heart-to-heart. I think she’s going to tell him about her frustrations with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and her pregnancy. And Johnny has a tip for Rafe. Wonder if it’s going to be some DiMera dirt.

Upcoming Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Kidnappings and Business Collabs

The week of January 19th through the 23rd, we have Liam hiding what may be a dark secret—probably still out committing crimes. I do wonder what’s going on with his son. Stephanie may be setting up a trap for her stalker. But we do know she’s kidnapped by Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) at some point in the upcoming weeks. But Steve is so focused on Jeremy, he’s looking at the wrong guy.

Brady could talk to Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) about a collab for Basic Black and Gabi Chic. He may not want to go back to Titan, and Gabi’s company is now independent, so maybe Brady finds a way to save Basic Black. Theo may butt heads with Johnny about coming back to DiMera. Gwen and Kristen are going to be conspiring. I wonder if Kristen might help Gwen get rid of Dimitri in exchange for some dirt on EJ.

Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Chad have an upcoming dinner date that could be really interesting. And EJ is going to find a real poop show when he’s back from Italy. Gwen managed to screw things up and put their whole scheme at risk because she wanted petty revenge on Leo. Is EJ and Gwen’s partnership about to hit the skids? We’ll see. And more on the mystery tube person soon.
