A Salemite is rising from the dead, the bones from the DiMera crypt are identified, and a trap is set for a stalker, according to Days of our Lives spoilers. Plus, Abe learns some disturbing news, and Gwen contacts an ally in hopes of bringing down the Von Leuscheners. Here’s your DAYS video preview for the week of January 26-30, 2026.
Back to Life
Gwen (Emily O’Brien) has a chat with Dr. Rolf (Richard Wharton) about his secret project, which apparently involves raising someone from the dead. “You brought the brat back to life,” gasps an incredulous Gwen.
Bones Identified
Meanwhile, EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) returns to Salem and has a burning question for Rafe (Galen Gering). “Do you know who the bones belong to?” EJ asks him. “The bones belong to your father,” responds Rafe, referring to the late Stefano DiMera.
Setting A Trap
Steve (Stephen Nichols) sets his plan in motion to snuff out Stephanie’s (Abigail Klein) stalker. And he’s absolutely certain it will work.
“He will definitely show up for this,” Steve explains to his daughter and her fiancé, Alex (Robert Scott Wilson). “We’ll make sure he sees an opportunity to get Stephanie alone, and that’s when we’ll nab him.”
There’s just one problem. The stalker is bugging Stephanie and Alex’s apartment and hears their entire plan.
Ulterior Motive

Rafe delivers some troubling news to Abe (James Reynolds). It looks like Liam (Hank Northrop) may not be the man Abe thinks he is. “It looks like the man that you’re tutoring may have helped kidnap your son,” announces Rafe to a stunned Abe.
Old Feelings Die Hard

Finally, Gwen makes a mysterious phone call to someone and poses an intriguing question. “Do you still hate the Von Leuscheners as much as you used to?” she asks someone. Apparently, the woman (who may or may not sound a lot like Louise Sorel’s Vivian Alamain) does. “More,” she retorts. It looks like things aren’t about to bode well for Dimitri (Peter Porte).
