Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers Jan 5-16 & Beyond: Dimitri Explodes in Rage – Brady Gets Brutally Fired!

Days of Our Lives two-week spoilers for January 5th – 16th have Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) raging and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) getting fired.

Days of our Lives 2-Week Spoilers: Leo Gets the Shock of His Life

On Monday, January 5th, we’ve got Dimitri stunning Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) right after he gets married to Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon). Meanwhile, Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) is there smirking and watching, hoping for chaos. I wouldn’t be surprised if she pulled out a bucket of popcorn to watch the theater that unfolds.

However, she’s also going to face backlash. It won’t take too long before people figure out she’s the one who brought Dimitri back to wreck Leo and Javi’s happily ever after. If you remember, Gwen kept looking down at her phone during the ceremony, and I think she was annoyed that Dimitri didn’t make it in time to interrupt.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Jeremy Gets Advice

I do think Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) may have some things to say to Gwen? and other people will as well. Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) gets some advice from Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes), which may be to make the most of the fresh start the new year brings. Jeremy and Julie are ringing in the new year together at the Horton House, and Julie is really hoping that 2026 will be a happier year.

Brady and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) also ring in 2026 together. They’re kissing and alone in a bedroom, so there may be more happening as these two potentially hit the sheets. Tate Black (Leo Howard) is surprised when Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) returns from Paris unexpectedly, and I wonder if this is when her new blonde hair and bad attitude surface.

New Year’s Miracles and a Stalker in Horton Town Square

On Tuesday, January 6, Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) get a New Year’s miracle as Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) wakes up, but he looks a little unhappy. Something is definitely there. Stephanie Johnson’s (Abigail Klein) stalker makes an appearance at New Year’s in Horton Town Square.

Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is in his dark hoodie and gloves, creeping through the square carrying something. It looks like a travel coffee mug, but it could be more poison for Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) or a homemade bomb. It is Salem, so there’s literally no telling. Gwen gets an earful from her hubby, Dimitri for her evil antics, and he will soon get a kiss from Leo in the DiMera living room.

Elsewhere, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) gets Leo to open up. It may be about his complicated feelings over Dimitri’s return, especially since it looks like Dimitri never stopped loving Leo and didn’t really dump him. Meanwhile, poor Javi is bawling in the park this week, scared that Leo is going to leave him for Dimitri.

Wednesday Drama: Kristen’s Tough Choice and Titan Power Struggles

Wednesday, January 7th, we’ve got Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) doing some brainstorming. It may be about the DiMeras or the ongoing issues tied to EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) reaches a difficult decision, and since Brady visits her at the hospital this week, she may talk it over with him.

This may be about Kristen pushing forward and officially taking Peter Blake (Jason Brooks) off of life support. Meanwhile, Alex pushes back on Xander Cook (Paul Telfer). This could be about Bonnie Lockhart’s (Judi Evans) knockoff erotic novella that’s a clear lift of Stephanie’s book, or it could be about Xander firing Brady, which also happens this week on Days of our Lives.

Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) has some upsetting news for Bonnie. And I wonder if Kate’s going to tell Bonnie that her naughty book is a no-go. She may push Bonnie towards DiMera to publish it instead of Titan. We know Kate is trying to undermine Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and use his inexperience as a CEO against him and DiMera as part of her plotting with Xander.

Thursday Romance and a Shocking Awakening for Peter Blake

Thursday, January 8th, Chad and Belle Black (Martha Madison) are supporting each other as they try to move on from the disasters their lives were in 2025, including problematic romances. Chad and Belle matched on Salem Singles a few weeks back and never circled around to it, but it looks like they are now. These two may finally have a real date.

Stephanie freaks out on Alex, possibly regarding her writing career, the stalker, or their new engagement. Plus, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) make plans, but she’s still sitting on the secret that she betrayed him and Xander to Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis).

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Peter Rages

Also this week, Kristen is with her big brother, Peter, after he’s unplugged. Suddenly, he wakes up, grabs Kristen. And rages at her. Rafe gets a proposition from Kristen, who wants revenge on EJ, whom she blames for her daughter Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) being in Bayview.

Will Kristen turn into Rafe’s personal spy if he can get Rachel out of the psych hospital? I think she’s going to stay put. Theo is awake and considering what it means to be a DiMera, which his dad, Abe, won’t like. Theo being the CEO of DiMera almost got him killed, but I think he is going to stick with it and push Johnny DiMera out.

DOOL Friday Confrontations: Xander Fires Brady and Leo Rejects Dimitri

Friday, January 9th, Johnny gets some pushback from Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens). She is not going to consider terminating the pregnancy. And I think she will reiterate that she wants Johnny out at DiMera.

Sarah catches up with Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) and may tell her mom about her and Brady. I wonder if Xander overhears because he freaks out on Brady on Friday. He’s going to fire him over getting involved with Sarah. And that’s going to make Maggie livid as well.

Leo proves how much he loves his new husband, Javi. And I think Leo is going to reject Dimitri to his face. Gwen gets into it with Dimitri, but he gets the best of her. She may have trouble controlling him, especially with EJ out of town in Italy with his daughter Sydney DiMera (Avery and Cade Seger).

Spring 2026 Spoilers: Major Recasts and the Stalker’s Identity Revealed

For January 12th through the 16th and beyond into early 2026, spoilers say Dimitri is plotting to get Leo back and take him from Javi. There’s no telling what he may do, but we know that Dimitri eventually gets a kiss from Leo.

Great-grandma Kate, want Arianna Hernandez (Marissa Reyes) to spy for her since she is DiMera’s newest intern. Stephanie and Alex start making wedding plans, but her book tour is demanding and he’s got a busy work schedule trying to keep Titan afloat. Owen the stalker is waiting in the wings, ready for his opportunity to strike against Alex and snatch Stephanie. That kidnapping could be coming soon.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: Theo Stunned

In the coming weeks, Theo’s life flips upside down. Jada is going to lean back towards Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) and away from Theo after Shawn is shot in the line of duty. Of course, Theo’s mom may be resurrected. The DiMeras reel over the identity of the crypt bones. Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) kisses EJ.

Then, he is going to reveal the “tube person” to Gwen and then Paulina. The big question is: is it Lexie Carver (Renee Jones)? Xander and Gwen are going to get together, but that romance will be short-lived, as will Brady and Sarah’s. Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) escapes from Bayview because she wants her baby and Tate. And Holly is one of her targets as well. Rachel’s legal punishment may involve a longer time in Bayview with some time off-screen.

Days of our Lives Spoilers: New Actors Join Cast

There is a new Rachel Black debuting in March. We’re also going to get a new Thomas DiMera and a new Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) debuting in April, as well as a new Arianna Hernandez. No word yet on who’s playing the new Arianna, Thomas, or Rachel, but the new Chad is going to be Connor Floyd, who left Y&R to take on the role.

Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) may know something bad about both Jeremy and Owen. Shawn is shot in the line of duty with Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux (Casey Moss) there as well. And it may tie to Stephanie’s kidnapping. Finally, Owen is soon revealed as the stalker after Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), Alex, Stephanie, Rafe, and Shawn were certain that it was Jeremy.
