Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of February 9-13, 2026 tease major goodbyes and a welcomed hello ahead of Valentine’s Day in Salem.
Chad’s Ready To Leave Salem
While Billy Flynn isn’t saying goodbye to Salem just yet, Chad is already planning to leave. It’s been a long couple of years for the character, between wondering if Abigail (Marci Miller) was alive, falling for the woman who pretended to be her, and fighting for custody of his kids.
The confirmed death of his father may be the final straw for the DiMera, who, after a chat with Tony (Thaao Penghlis) on Tuesday, will make plans to leave by Thursday. But with Connor Floyd gearing up to make his DAYS debut, something tells us Chad won’t be gone for long.
Kristen’s Chaos
Despite Stefano’s (the late Joe Mascolo) death weighing on her mind, Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) number one thing is Rachel (Alice Halsey). She’s worried about her daughter’s well-being, what with still interacting with Sophia (Rachel Boyd) and a dislike for psychiatrists.
After being ganged up on by Brady (Eric Martsolf), Marlena (Deidre Hall), and Belle (Martha Madison) on Tuesday, Wednesday will see Kristen finally offer joint custody to Brady. The exes have been clashing over Rachel’s care, but joint custody may make things a whole lot smoother for Rachel’s recovery.
Odds and Ends: Valentine’s Day Edition
Valentine’s Day comes a tad early in Salem, starting on Wednesday when a broken-hearted Leo (Greg Rikaart) is left spending the day of love in a therapy session rather than with his husband.
As V-Day continues on Thursday, it appears EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) will ask Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) out on a proper date, while couples Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson—don’t miss his appearance in a Super Bowl commercial this weekend!) and Stephanie (Abigail Klein) get romantic.
Elsewhere, Eli (Lamon Archey) will surprise Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) with another pop-in on Monday, while EJ receives a special gift after he and his family say a final farewell to their father.
