Just when Alex figures out a way to help Stephanie forget about her recent troubles and find some joy in life again, Joy Wesley shows up at his door. And he meets her baby. Here’s your DAYS video preview for the week of April 27-May 1, 2026.
Key Takeaways
- Joy shocks Alex with a baby reveal at the most inopportune time.
- Gabi goes on the attack, while Stephanie and Jeremy grow closer after their ordeal.
- Kristen’s deadly scheme escalates as Sophia targets Johnny, and chaos erupts across Salem.
Surprise Meeting
Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) shows up on Alex’s (Robert Scott Wilson, here’s what you may not know about him) doorstep, and he’s understandably surprised to see her there. “Joy,” he calls out.
Then, he gets an even bigger surprise when she wheels in a stroller, and there’s a beautiful baby girl inside it. “I actually wanted to introduce you to somebody,” says Joy.
Mad Mama
Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) isn’t happy when she finds Liam (Hank Northrop) at the pub with Ari (Vico Escarcia), and she makes her feelings crystal clear. “You stay away from my daughter,” she growls, wagging her finger in his face. “Do you hear me?”
The Wrong Idea?
At the shooting range, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) practices firing her new gun at a target, while Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Brady (Eric Martsolf, who got emotional over a Brady moment) look on. But that’s not the most explosive thing that happens to her this week.
Later, while commiserating with Jeremy (Michael Roark) in the park about their kidnapping, the pair gets closer. So close that Jeremy decides to lean in for a kiss. Has he gotten the wrong idea about where things stand between them, or is Stephanie actually feeling something for Jeremy, too?
Goodbye Note
Brady pays a visit to the Choi house and shares an emotional moment with Sophia’s (Rachel Boyd) mother, Amy (Shi Ne Nielson). “What is it?” asks Brady when Amy finds something her daughter has left for her. “It’s a suicide note,” responds a shaken Amy.
Killer Plot
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) looks quite pleased with herself as she sips a drink in the DiMera living room. Meanwhile, things are unraveling around town. Javi (Al Calderon) shows up at the hospital, appearing very unsteady on his feet.
“Javi, are you alright?” questions Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). Suddenly, Javi’s eyes roll back, and he collapses to the floor.
Meanwhile, Sophia has no choice but to carry out Kristen’s evil plan. Namely, killing Johnny (Carson Boatman). She knocks on his apartment door, and when he opens she sprays something toxic in his face. Johnny promptly covers his eyes and cries out in pain.
