Days of Our Lives early weekly spoilers for May 4th through the 8th divulge Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) being exposed and Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) exiting under a cloud of shame.
As we always do on early edition day, we talk about what’s coming the rest of this week. Then we dive into what is ahead next week.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers Wednesday, April 29th: Jeremy Freaks Stephanie Out
So, on Wednesday, April 29th, we’ve got Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) asking Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) to do a rush job on the paternity test. This is a carryover from Tuesday when Alex told Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins), “Let’s knock out this test ASAP.”
Although honestly, I don’t think that Alex is doubting Joy or doubting that Kelsey is his baby. But Stephanie Johnson‘s (Abigail Klein) not handling it well at all. So, the proof is important.
We’re also going to pick back up from Tuesday with her and Jeremy when he hugged and comforted Stephanie after Alex broke the baby news. So, Stephanie is upset at a situation that Jeremy engineered, you know, not the pregnancy, but the whole thing with the reveal.
I mean, Joy isn’t buying what Jeremy’s selling, you know, but I do think he’s a little too optimistic. And he misreads a moment with Stephanie, and he kisses her. Now, she looks disturbed by Jeremy’s kiss. And I wonder if Stephanie’s going to have some freaky flashback since she was just envisioning shooting Owen, and she had to kiss him during the kidnapping. We’ll see if she pulls her gun on Jeremy.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Stephanie Rejects Jeremy
This is Michael Roark’s last day as Jeremy. And in addition to Michael Roark’s exit, we know that Rachel Boyd, who plays Sophia Choi, and Peter Porte, who plays Dimitri, both have been dropped from contract status to recurring.
But given that both of their storylines are clearly drawing to a close, that’s not terribly surprising. So, back to Jeremy. You know, hopefully Stephanie doesn’t shoot him, but I do think she’s going to shoot Jeremy down. Stephanie may actually figure out that Jeremy was behind Joy showing up with Alex’s baby in Salem since his dad dated Joy’s mom.
Also, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) do some father-son bonding. And I wonder if Johnny’s going to tell his dad about Chanel Dupree DiMera‘s (Raven Bowens) mammogram. Lani Price (Sal Stowers) and Chanel have a heart-to-heart sister chat. And Kristen tells Sophia to do it, to take out Johnny. Kristen calls Sophia and says, “This gets done tomorrow. No emotion, no mess.”
DOOL Spoilers Thursday, April 30th: Johnny in Danger
Then on Thursday, April 30th, we’ve got Stephanie taking comfort from her mom, Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans). I’m sure this is about a lot of things, including the Jeremy incident, Joy showing up with Alex’s baby, the kidnap trauma, PTSD, all of that. Sarah gets Chanel ready for her mammogram.
And knowing that Raven Bowens was fired and Chanel is leaving late this year, I don’t think this bodes well at all. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) gives Marlena Evans (Didre Hall) some very exciting news. Could be about him getting his PI license or fingerprint proof against Sophia or that Brady overrode Kristen’s ban on Marlena visiting Rachel Black (Lorelie Olivia Mote) at Bayview.
Johnny tries to reason with Sophia who’s at his door, sprayed him in the face. Looks like with mace, she gets the better of him. So, Sophia has Johnny prisoner and is following Kristen’s orders and she’s ready to hurt him. Jada enjoys a show from Shawn. And I’m hoping it’s a gun show.
Friday, May 1st on Days: The Search for Sophia Kicks Off
Friday, May 1st, we’ve got private investigator in training Brady and Salem top cop Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) teaming up to find Sophia. And I wonder if they’re searching for her to arrest her for the supplement swap the fingerprint evidence might be in. Amy Choi (Shi Ne Neilson) is answering questions from Brady when he comes looking for Sophia.
And Amy shows him a suicide note that she says Sophia left. Now, we know she was bickering with Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) and set up a fake account to bully herself online after lying to Tate Black (Leo Howard) about Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) bullying her. So, clearly Sophia is laying lots of groundwork.
The note blames Holly for saying she’s dead to her. And Sophia carries on about how she’s hurting, sick of the bullying, and tired of begging forgiveness. So Brady reads the note where Sophia says, “Everybody’s better off if she’s dead.” This all smells like an elaborate ruse to me. Tate is there to encourage Holly. I wonder if they’ve seen the anti-Sophia stuff she posted online or if Brady tells them about Sophia’s suicide note.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Javi at Risk
Hero Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) realizes Johnny is in big trouble. But also by the end of this week, Javi collapses at the hospital unless this is a carryover into next week and Days has messed up their promo again. Sarah’s freaking out asking if Javi is all right. So, I wonder if he had a reaction to what Sophia was spraying on Johnny. We’ll see.
Sarah is supportive as Chanel goes through her mammogram. I wonder if Johnny’s going to miss the test as he’s been taken captive by Sophia or if Chanel planned to go by herself all along. And Kristen gets her revenge. She is smirking at the DiMera mansion waiting for EJ to get a call with bad news about Johnny.
Week of May 4th-8th: Second Full Week of May Sweeps on DOOL
The week of May 4th through the 8th, it is the second full week of May sweeps. And Holly may be blamed if Sophia manages to fake her death by suicide. The note she left for her mom Amy was most likely a frame job. I think Sophia is planning her ultimate revenge. I think like all her schemes, it’s not going to pan out, though. You know, she is planning to take a payoff from Kristen to start a new life after framing Holly and I guess killing Johnny, but I don’t think it’s going to work out for either Sophia or Kristen on Days of our Lives.
Leo Stark (Greg Rikkart) learns about Javi’s collapse and runs to be at his side. We’ve only got a couple more weeks of Al Calderon before he is out and recast Javi is introduced. We have Jacob Martinez stepping into the role. Marlena is not impressed at being named a beneficiary in Stefano’s will, but it looks like EJ has her convinced to show up, get it over with, and finally get some closure. Also, I’m looking forward to what Marlena digs out of EJ’s head about Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) in the hospital since even Cat doesn’t seem to remember everything that happened between her and EJ when they were both in Italy recovering.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Stefano DiMera Twist Coming
Tony DiMera (Thaao Penghlis) is back for the will reading and Cat is coordinating with executor Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) to make sure everything goes as intended. I am super excited to find out what shockers Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) put in his will because you know the Phoenix always surprises. Theo continues to visit his mom, Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford), hoping that she will wake soon and hopefully we finally see her eyes open during May sweeps. That seems most likely.
Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) continues to trash talk EJ and wonders if Abby Deveraux (AnnaLynne McCord) was in the person pod. Theo is sidestepping him because he knows his mom Lexie was the pod person, but I do suspect that EJ may have Abby in a pod somewhere. You know, EJ might have stolen her from Clyde Weston (James Read). Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) is increasingly suspicious of Kate Howard (Lauren Koslow), who’s been lying and denying.
Days of our Lives Spoilers: Chad & EJ May Team Up
I’m curious to see if Chad has a hot take on what Kate did to Johnny because, you know, they’ve really changed up Chad’s character. I’m sure you guys have noticed when they changed over to Connor Floyd, we are seeing Chad back and kind of more aggressive and more confrontational, particularly with EJ.
And so that’s why I’m really interested to see if he comes at Kate or if they have that same pseudo, you know, mom and son vibe that they’ve always had because I think we’re going to see Chad pivoting in other interesting ways. Meanwhile, Kristen thinks she’s getting away with a whole lot of things.
But she doesn’t realize the walls are closing in. Brady’s ready to make a move against her, possibly to snatch custody away. And if there is proof she was working with Sophia to hurt Johnny, we could see Brady and EJ working together to keep Kristen away from both their kids and put her behind bars.
