Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers update for the week of January 26-30 indicates that Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) will reveal a kidnapper twist

while Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) slams Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) makes a confession.

Following EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) return to Salem, he’ll find out from Rafe that the bones found in the crypt are Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo).

Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) will be distraught over that news, but she’ll rebuff EJ’s attempt to console her.

Over with Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), she’ll deal with some growing worries about Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens).

Between Chanel’s risky pregnancy and the potential for more marriage issues with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), Paulina will have good reasons to be concerned.

Abe Carver (James Reynolds) will continue to mentor Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop), but then Rafe will deliver a major curveball.

There’ll apparently be some evidence that ties Liam to the DiMera kidnappings, including Theo Carver’s (Tyler Joseph Andrews).

It sounds like Peter Blake (Dan Gauthier) paid Liam to help him pull off his plan.

Since Liam is always desperate for cash, he presumably did what he had to do and made some extra money.

Other Days spoilers say Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) will acknowledge some milestones together with a little celebration.

Later, Marlena will confront Xander about his recent treatment of Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and let it be known that she won’t allow Basic Black’s legacy be tarnished.

Belle Black (Martha Madison) suggested Marlena should oversee things, so she may insist on it during this conversation with Xander.

Over with Johnny, Days spoilers say he’ll make the mistake of trusting Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow) when she’s setting him up for a huge fall at DiMera Enterprises.

Johnny will have some positive updates for Bonnie Kiriakis (Judi Evans) regarding her novel, but publishing it could mean walking right into Kate and Xander’s setup.

While Chanel has a tense reunion with Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) at Bayview, Days spoilers say Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) will deliver a warning to Arianna “Ari” Horton (Marissa Reyes).

Gabi may think Ari needs to keep her guard up since she thought she saw Sophia in the town square.

Ari can’t confirm that, but DOOL fans know she indeed witnessed Sophia making one of her Bayview escapes.

Of course, Gabi might also voice concerns about Ari’s sorority plans now that Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) is pushing Ari to rush with her.

As for Stephanie Johnson’s (Abigail Klein) stalker, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) will inadvertently alert the person responsible through the picture frame with a listening device.

While Gwen von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien) reaches out to Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) for help dealing with Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte), Leo will find himself fixating on his complicated feelings for Dimitri.

Finally, Sarah will confess something to Brady.

We’ll see Sarah get honest and perhaps admit she’s worried about Rachel’s reaction if they continue going down this romantic road.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say Brady won’t want to let Rachel dictate his love life, so he may beg Sarah not to push him away.
