Blood ties bring new alliances, but being a DiMera comes with a price, as the iconic Salem family welcomes Dominic, the newest addition to their clan, according to Days of our Lives spoilers. Meanwhile, Holly searches for proof that Sophia is really alive, Gwen worries that Leo is in grave danger, and Abe receives concerning medical news. Here’s your DAYS video preview for the week of November 9-13, 2026.
Welcome to the Family
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) is stunned when he meets the newest member of the DiMera family at Lexie’s memorial. It’s the much-ballyhooed Dominic Marino (Kyle Pryor, here are seven things you need to know about DAYS newbie), who immediately introduces himself. “Hello, brother,” he greets EJ.
Tony (Thaao Penghlis) and Anna (Leann Hunley) seem a bit perplexed about Dominic’s roots. “Well, if you don’t mind my asking, who is your mother?” asks Anna. Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Belle (Martha Madison) both look on without saying a word.
In Search of Sophia
Meanwhile, Holly (Ashley Puzemis), who’s sure that Sophia (Rachel Boyd) is alive, reaches out to her ex-friend’s mother. “Thank you so much for meeting with me,” she says to Mrs. Choi (Shi Ne Nielson). Will Mrs. Choi, who knows Sophia isn’t really dead, admit the truth to Holly or continue to keep mum about the situation?
Medical Crisis
Abe (James Reynolds), who’s been experiencing some medical issues, has another appointment with his doctor, Kayla (Mary Beth Evans). The pair talk, and Kayla clearly delivers some news that Abe isn’t quite ready to share with anyone quite yet. “When the time is right, I will,” he promises Kayla.
Leo Crisis
Steve (Stephen Nichols) runs into a concerned Gwen (Emily O’Brien). “Why would you be worrying about Leo (Greg Rikaart)?” he asks her. Will Gwen open up to the private eye or keep what she knows to herself? At the same moment, a body falls into the Salem River. Might it be Leo’s?
Family Strategy
A family meeting is called at the mansion. Tony sips on his drink and coyly tells Dominic, “It’s the DiMeras against the world.” Later, Dominic stands in the living room alone and glances over at Stefano’s portrait on the wall. Then he focuses his attention toward the chess game on the table and strategically makes a move. It’s obvious that Dominic is playing a very calculated game.
