Blame is placed, secrets are exposed, and one name could change everything, according to Days of our Lives spoilers. The action centers around a triumphant return that falls flat, a pair of powerful confrontations, and the surprise reveal of yet another Stefano DiMera heir. Here’s your DAYS video preview for the week of September 21-25, 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Philip’s triumphant return to Salem hits a major snag when he discovers what happened to the Kiriakis mansion.
- Holly confronts Mason over Sophia, while Cat demands answers from EJ about their complicated situation.
- Steve uncovers proof that Dominic is Stefano’s son, but the identity of his mother could be the bigger shock.
Luck Runs Out
Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) return to Salem, still on a high from their trip to Monte Carlo and big winnings at the casino. “I couldn’t have done it without my lucky charm,” declares Philip as he nuzzles up to Gabi.
Later, Philip heads home to the Kiriakis mansion, ready to save the day, only to find it completely empty. “You didn’t hear?” announces Alex (Robert Scott Wilson). “The house is sold.”
Searching for Answers
In her hospital bed, a desperate Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) decides to look up information about her condition. She searches for a nerve conduction study.
Should I Stay or Go?
Across town at the park, Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh) reconnects with her older brother, Johnny. “Should I stick around?” she wonders aloud. To her surprise, Johnny responds, “You know, I wouldn’t if I was you.”
Cold Confrontations
Holly (Ashley Puzemis) decides to confront Mason (Brandon Butler) about his negative attitude toward her. “Do you think I’m to blame for Sophia’s death?” she asks him point-blank.
Mason comes clean. “You played a big part in it,” he responds matter-of-factly.
Meanwhile, Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) decides to have it out with EJ (Dan Feuerriegel, who recently teased his character’s status a year from now) about where things stand between them. “You know damn well what’s going on, and so do I,” announces Cat.
Shocking Discovery
Steve (Stephen Nichols) pays Marlena (Deidre Hall) a visit at the penthouse and fills her in on the latest. “We were able to find Dominic Marino’s birth certificate,” he reveals to her. Then he hands Marlena his phone so she can see a copy.
“Father’s name: Stefano DiMera,” reads Marlena aloud. “Mother’s name…” she continues before stopping abruptly. Is the reveal anything anyone saw coming?
