Days of Our Lives 2-week spoilers for February 16 -27, 2026 reveal Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) makes his exit and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) gets romantic.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Monday, February 16th: Gabi’s Discovery and Romantic Complications
On Monday, February 16th, we’ve got Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) lifting Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) spirits. She now knows that Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) kidnapped Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) and kept them apart deliberately, forged the divorce papers, and kept him captive until he died. That’s a whole lot for Gabi to deal with. But she and Philip are heading to Miami soon to get steamy on a little getaway.
Plus, Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) has now convinced Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) that he has been set up, and they decide to work together to prove Dimitri’s innocence in the DiMera kidnapping case. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) gives Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) some more instruction—more hands-on golf lessons. That’s going to get a lot more handsy very soon.
Brady’s taking it slowly with Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). He’s being cautious. Everything is very complicated, but they do share a kiss after their impromptu Valentine’s Day lunch on Monday. EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) spend some time together, and we’ll see if EJ tries to dissuade Susan of her theory that Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) is somehow influencing EJ from beyond the grave.
Also this week, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) has a Valentine’s Day date with Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson), but he’s sitting there looking at her and imagining that he’s out with Gabi instead. Terrible, right? Poor Jada. She notices Theo Carver getting lost in thought and wants to know where he went. And if he’s smart, he’s not going to say, “Oh, I was thinking about another woman.” That won’t go well, especially not with Jada. She’s had the worst luck with men.
DOOL Spoilers: Tuesday, February 17th: A Stalker Lurks while Steve and Kayla Celebrate
Tuesday, February 17th, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) are honeymooning. Looks like they’re just doing it at their little apartment. Alex is thrilled to be her husband, but what’s creepy is the stalker. Presumably, Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) is probably listening in on them while they’re talking about their marriage and then getting ready to consummate their marriage. It’s very disturbing, and this could be what provokes the guy to finally take action.
Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) and Jennifer Horton (Melissa Reeves) wish Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) the best. They’re in town to see off Chad DiMera and the kids, but now Jeremy is supposedly leaving, too. But he won’t get too far. Another stalker incident may be what derails his exit because, as we know, Jeremy is not gone for good until April 29th.
Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) celebrate their Heart’s Day anniversary at the Bistro. And of course, they got married the last time on Valentine’s Day a couple years ago. They did a funny video talking about how Steve was a creep when they first met and that he broke into Kayla Brady’s apartment and ended up watching her change into some kind of negligee.
It was a very funny little thing where they were playing their characters. Check out Peacock’s Instagram account and you can see all the little funny Valentine’s Day videos they put out. There was one with Jada and Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer). There’s one with Alex and Stephanie. There’s a bunch of cute little ones. Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) also have a table at the Bistro toasting and enjoying V-Day.
Billy Flynn’s Emotional Days Exit: Chad DiMera Leaves Salem
And Chad, Thomas DiMera (Cary Christopher), and Charlotte DiMera (Autumn Gendron) leave Salem. This is the final air date for Chad and Thomas. Jack and Jennifer say goodbye to the kids and hug them and Chad. But before he says bye to them and Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes), we’re going to see Chad saying another goodbye on Days of our Lives.
He goes out to Abigail Deveraux DiMera’s (AnnaLynne McCord) grave, which is still empty, and says that he is going to take a piece of her and Salem with him. Chad puts a pink little Valentine’s Day conversation heart on Abby’s grave and wishes his dead wife a happy Valentine’s Day.
Then at Julie’s house, Chad picks up the wedding photo of him and Abigail and is crying over it. We will see a new Chad and new Thomas in April. No word if we are going to get a new Charlotte.
Also this week, Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) plants a kiss on Arianna “Ari” Grace Horton (Marissa Reyes). Gabi’s head is going to explode over this. You know, Ari’s got a fake ID. She’s out partying. She was with Bad boy Doug Williams III (Peyton Meyer). And now Liam, who is older, a felon, and has a kid. This is just messy.
Days of Our Lives Wednesday, February 18th: Xander and Gwen Spark while Kristen Battles Brady
Wednesday, February 18th, Xander and Gwen are sparking. She shoves him on her bed and strips him off and they do the deed. I’m guessing it’s going to mean a lot more to her than it does to Xander, though. Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) tries to trigger EJ’s memories, probably about the Italian hospital and their Wuthering Heights bond.
Gabi takes care of Philip. More hot stuff in Miami for these two. And Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) and Brady talk to Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). If you remember, Dr. Gregory told Brady to stand firm with her and Kristen about his love life being off-limits to their manipulations, but I doubt that Rachel and Kristen are going to take it well or respect his boundaries.
Thursday and Friday Spoilers: Escapes, Espionage, and DiMera Dollars on DOOL
Thursday, February 19th, Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) keeps gleefully plotting Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) downfall. Sophia is monitoring the mess she has made on social media and loving every minute of it. Xander’s feelings for Sarah aren’t going to go away, even after he spent the night with ex-Gwen.
Leo and Dimitri activate their plan to prove his innocence in the DiMera kidnappings, and they need to get on a jet plane. And again, Dimitri’s in an ankle monitor. Million-dollar bond? Are they just going to ignore that and let it go off?
Sarah and Brady try and sneak in another smooch, but they may be seen. Rachel or Kristen may spot them. And Gwen updates her gal pal Kristen. They’re catching up and they’re both probably feeling really good about what they’ve got. Gwen had Xander in her bed. Kristen’s living with Brady, but these girls are toasting before their chickens have come home to roost.
Friday, February 20th, EJ DiMera has questions for Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) about Cat. Is he suspicious? You know, was her poking him about the hospital—did it do something to send his spidey senses tingling? And I wonder if EJ wants to know if Cat is being nosy, asking questions in places she shouldn’t be.
Leo & Dimitri on a Mission
Leo and Dimitri jet to Alamainia to get answers. We’ll see. But Leo and Dimitri are going to find out they’re not welcome in Vivian’s house, and that is made clear. But we don’t expect to see her. Louise Sorel is done for now. Her henchmen are going to be picking it up from here. And I wonder if EJ DiMera might actually lend a hand because he wants Vivian to be punished, not Dimitri.
Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) has surprising news for Gabi when she’s back. She may be rolling in DiMera dollars soon. And Ivan Marais (Ivan G’Vera), Madame Vivian’s henchman, makes a call to tie up loose ends. So, Liam may be in danger. And Ivan is plotting with the other henchman, Klaus. He’s the one with the scar on his face. Gabi and Jada chat about how happy they are with their new romances. Things are about to go badly with those.
DOOL February Sweeps Finale: Kidnappings and the Woman in the Tube
February 23rd through the 27th is the last week of sweeps, which ends on Wednesday. Liam needs to watch his back. Vivian and Ivan could be after him now to make sure he stops talking to the cops. Theo’s crush on Gabi could inspire him to break up her and Philip since he’s sitting on a huge secret.
Tate Black (Leo Howard) sees Holly spiraling out, but doesn’t know how to help her stop it. Ari also notices Holly’s behavior and is not a fan. And if Ari pledges the sorority that Holly wanted, that could cause more stress. Stephanie is kidnapped at work soon. And of course, Jeremy is suspected.
EJ soon shows Paulina the woman in the tube. And of course, Rafe’s going to bust into the lab and see the people-sized test tube pretty soon. We’ll see if that happens before sweeps winds up or not.
And one last question: Are we ever going to get an update on Joy Wesley’s (AlexAnn Hopkins) pregnancy? She was carrying Alex’s baby when she left Salem and that baby should be due any day now.
