Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that we’ve got a shocking 2026 preview to share, so let’s discuss the funeral drama, resurrection chaos and abduction horror to come.

At Titan, Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow) and Xander Kiriakis’ (Paul Telfer) will move forward with her sneaky plan, which is apparently unethical yet legal.

Xander approved Kate’s mysterious scheme involving Johnny DiMera’s (Carson Boatman) lack of CEO experience and Bonnie Lockhart Kiriakis’ (Judi Evans) new novel.

As for EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel), he’ll work on his resolution to repair his relationship with Johnny in the new year.

That’ll bring some challenges, but Johnny and Chanel Dupree DiMera’s (Raven Bowens) marriage issues could leave him needing someone to lean on.

Johnny is terrified about the health risks of Chanel’s pregnancy, but she resents him for being so pessimistic about this news.

Chanel thinks they should be thinking positive thoughts, but Johnny’s stuck in the negative zone for now.

Of course, there’s a good chance a baby emergency is in Chanel’s future.

There could be a scary situation for Trey DiMera (Joseph Ihlenf and Jordan Perdue) too, especially if Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) unleashes more chaos during one of her escapes from Bayview.

Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) will get dragged into some getaway drama at some point as well, so Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Tate Black (Leo Howard) will be shocked to learn Sophia’s been faking her inability to talk.

Over with Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis), she’ll finally reach her limit when it comes to all this Sophia mess and whatever other problems Tate throws at her.

Holly will lash out and leave Tate taken aback over her new attitude.

Arianna “Ari” Horton (Marissa Reyes) will also notice a change in Holly, so she’ll have some harsh things to say as a result.

Holly and Ari’s friendship will head downhill quickly, so Ari will seek comfort in Gabi Hernandez’s (Cherie Jimenez) arms.

Gabi may eventually need some comfort of her own since her relationship with Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) is set to explode.

Back with Xander, more conflict will erupt with Maggie Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) – particularly after he fires Brady in a jealous fit of rage.

Xander will have a big issue with Brady and Sarah Horton’s (Linsey Godfrey) deepening feelings for each other.

As for Gwen von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien), she’ll restart her alliance with Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), who’ll officially be a free woman soon.

Gwen and Kristen will toast to getting everything they want, which will lead to Gwen landing in Xander’s bed.

Meanwhile, Days spoilers say Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) will make trouble for Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon), especially when he steals a kiss from his former flame.

The bones from the DiMera crypt will also be identified, so could this lead to Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) finally being put to rest properly?

If those bones belong to the DiMera patriarch, Stefano’s funeral may be the one that’s coming up for the DiMera clan.

DOOL spoilers indicate that Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) will regain consciousness and rejoin the DiMera family before this servicel gets underway.

As for Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), she may find herself torn between her ISA mission and any real feelings that might be developing for EJ.

Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) will no doubt remain protective of Cat in the middle of it all.

Over with Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein), she’ll decide on a speedy marriage to Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson), but more stalker mayhem is brewing.

Days spoilers say Stephanie will be chloroformed and kidnapped, so Alex will blame Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) and launch a showdown.

Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols), on the other hand, will develop a theory that involves Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey), Stephanie’s former captor and someone who was totally obsessed with her.

Was Owen behind the creepy letters and this growing threat to Stephanie’s safety?

Steve will attack Owen and demand answers in hopes of getting to the bottom of all this.

Regardless, Stephanie will make it home one way or another, so stay tuned for updates on her abduction ordeal and the aftermath.

Back with EJ, he’ll unveil who’s inside the strange resurrection tube.

It’ll presumably be Lexie Carver (most likely played by Nikki Crawford) who gets a second chance at life.

EJ will show Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) the revival he’s pulled off and no doubt leave her worried about how Abe Carver (James Reynolds) will react to his former flame coming back.

Theo should be over the moon to reconnect with Mama Lexie, but Days spoilers say a sad shocker’s brewing that’ll put Shawn Brady’s (Brandon Beemer) life on the line.

It seems Shawn will face a gunshot wound in a police shootout, so maybe he could be saved by Dr. Wilhelm Rolf’s (Richard Wharton) experimental treatment protocol, too.
