A calculated escape plan goes seriously awry, and secrets are uncovered that could change everything and impact some Salem couples, according to Days of our Lives spoilers. Plus, EJ’s manipulation of Holly continues, and Gwen’s BFF, Leo, may be the only one who can save her. Here’s your DAYS video preview for the week of July 27-31, 2026.
Unwelcome Visitor
Sarah (Linsey Godfrey, who’s nominated for a 2026 Daytime Emmy) walks into Holly’s (Ashley Puzemis) hospital room and finds a visitor she detests: EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). “I thought I told you to stay away from Holly,” she spats at EJ.
Declaration of Love
Abe (James Reynolds) and Lexie (Nikki Crawford) share an emotional moment. “I love you so much,” says Abe. “I love you too, Abe,” declares Lexie as her eyes well up with tears.
Change of Plans
Meanwhile, Lexie and Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) plan to switch places and make their getaways takes a surprise turn. It seems Kristen, who’s gagged, has been abducted by a henchman. He seethes, “Have a safe flight.”
Applause Earned
Apparently, Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) implements a new game plan involving Alex (Robert Scott Wilson). She smiles and says goodbye to her baby daddy as he leaves the pub, prompting Ari (Vico Escorcia), who’s overheard everything that’s gone down, to start sarcastically clapping at whatever it is Joy’s done.
Bag It
At the Titan offices, Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) have another chat. She’s no longer certain that Titan was behind her purse branding scam. “So you’re thinking someone at DiMera is responsible for the counterfeit bags,” deduces Philip.
Untrue Confession?
Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) pays Rafe (Galen Gering) a visit and delivers a document. “What’s this?” Rafe asks her. “Gwen Rizczech’s written confession,” responds Cat. But what exactly has Gwen (Emily O’Brien) confessed to, and is the paperwork legit?
Guilty Party
Leo (Greg Rikaart) has a theory about Gwen’s disappearance and who could be the culprit behind it. “How are you so sure it’s Dimitri who took her?” questions Chad (Conner Floyd). “Because I texted him to see if he knew where she was, and this was his reply,” explains Leo, thumbing through his phone to show Chad Dimitri’s response.
