spoilers for March 2 – 6, 2026s we always do on early edition day, we start with what’s coming the rest of this week and then we dive into what is ahead next week.
Days of Our Lives Mid-Week Drama: Ariana’s Meet Cute and Liam’s Shady Dealings
On Wednesday, February 25th, it is the last day of sweeps, by the way. Arianna “Ari” Horton (Marissa Reyes) has a meet cute with Liam Selejko (Hank Northrop) and she kisses his cheek. The single criminal dad may regret taking money from Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel) and possibly also taking money from Stephanie Johnson‘s (Abigail Klein) kidnapper now that things are looking up in his life.
We’re also going to see Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) playing mean girl to Ari, who is going to lay into her and tell Holly the attitude is not cute and to drop it now. Plus, Liam gets an offer from EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). This may be something like an ultimatum, like “come clean or else.” He may offer a payment to Liam, understanding that he’s broke.
I think EJ is worked up about him taking money to help with the DiMera kidnappings. This is unless, before this happens, they sus out that Liam may have done some dirty work for Stephanie’s stalker, like delivering the photo frame, if they fingerprint it or something. Plus, Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) is there to encourage Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), but that could make her feel even guiltier for planting the bug, wrecking Titan, and then lying to cover it up. Now Gabi is getting into a romance with Philip while still lying by omission every single day right to his face.
The Search for Stephanie Johnson and the Secret DiMera Lab Mystery on DOOL
Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) are going to join in the search for Stephanie. We know that EJ said the cops could search the lab, but there’s also the super secret lab within the lab. I’m wondering if this is when Rafe sneaks in and sees the big blue human test tube while he’s searching for Stephanie.
Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) has that ISA tool to read the code on the door, but EJ said that he would let her brother open up and give them access to the lab to just check and see if Stephanie is there. Meanwhile, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is trying to convince Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porte) of something.
I wonder if it’s to give up on getting evidence in Alamainia since none is forthcoming. Vivian won’t see Dimitri and things are looking really bad. Leo may think that Dimitri just needs to cut bait and run.
Sophia Choi’s Blackmail Scheme and Rachel Black’s Legal Jeopardy on Days
Meanwhile, Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) blackmails Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). We’re going to see the tween getting a call, and Sophia tells Rachel she has to give Holly a gift, but Rachel can’t tell Holly that it’s from Sophia. I don’t know if it’s more of those nice skin supplements or if it’s something even worse. If Rachel gets into trouble, it could mess up her hearing and then she’s going to wind up in juvie or back in Bayview.
Thursday’s Emotional Fallout: Holly Jonas’ Viral Scandal and Chanel Dupree’s Health Scare
Thursday, February 26th, we’ve got Tate Black (Leo Howard) comforting Holly. She’s already distraught about the video of her just screeching at the sorority girl and the whole trending “Holly Jonas is a b-word” hashtag. Plus, Holly is of course upset that Ari chewed her out and that she’s doing well with Rush while Holly is not. Holly is the one who brought Ari into the whole Rush thing.
Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) tells Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) that he’s sorry so he won’t make it a habit. This may be about him missing the doctor appointment. Of course, right after the appointment, while she was talking to Paulina Price (Jackée Harry), Chanel started having some cramps. I think she’s just stressed out over everything that’s going on. Hopefully, the baby’s going to be just fine.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Abe Carver and EJ DiMera’s Secret Pact Over the DiMera CEO Position
EJ and Abe Carver (James Reynolds) talk about their shady little side deal they have going on about the DiMera CEO job that nobody but the two of them knows, unless EJ DiMera maybe told Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney). As we know, EJ wants Johnny to keep running DiMera long-term because he sees that as a doorway back into his son’s life.
Meanwhile, Abe wants his son Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) out of DiMera for good. He doesn’t want Theo to come back as CEO, and reviving Lexie Carver (Renee Jones) may play into all this. Theo, meanwhile, continues to get support from his stepmom, Paulina. If Theo wants to resume the CEO position and thinks that his health recovered enough to do it, Paulina may say, “Follow your gut.” But that might tick Abe off. The timing of it coming before Lexie Carver awakens on Days of our Lives, I don’t think, is any coincidence.
Friday DOOL Spoilers: Is Jeremy Horton Really Stephanie Johnson’s Kidnapper?
Friday, February 27th, we’ve got Steve and Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) out searching for Stephanie along with everybody else. The kidnapper has stashed Stephanie in some kind of industrial-looking store room. The cop that was drugged described a generic doctor, saying the guy was tall with light eyes.
Jada prompted him and asked the cop, “Could it be Jeremy?” because he knows what Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark) looks like because of the BOLO, and the cop says yes. So, case closed, I guess. With everybody making assumptions, Leo and Dimitri have some concerns to discuss. I wonder if Leo will push Dimitri to just take his money and run so he won’t be locked up for the kidnapping.
The Return of Owen Kent and Steve Johnson’s Frantic Search on Days
Meanwhile, Stephanie tries to get free. She’s tied to that chair and stashed away in that icky store room. All this Jeremy stuff is insane. Steve showed Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes) a photo of a man wearing a mask who was dressed similarly to Jeremy on Halloween as a mad scientist. Again, I think Spirit Halloween in Salem probably sold more than one of those outfits.
Julie sees it and immediately was certain that Jeremy is guilty. His face wasn’t shown. I don’t think that’s enough to get an arrest without his face being shown or some identifying characteristic like a scar or a tattoo. Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) and Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) head out looking for Stephanie as well. Brady helped save Stephanie from Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey) years ago, if you don’t remember.
Plus, on Friday, Owen Kent is back. Very soon, Steve grabs a guy in the park with a black hoodie expecting Jeremy. But it’s Owen. I think Jeremy being in a black hoodie on the most recent episode is just another red flag that this is ultimately Owen. It may be next week though when we see Steve get a hold of Owen.
Early Spoilers for March 2-6: Overdose Fears and the Lexie Carver Reveal on Days of Our Lives
The week of March 2nd through the 6th, we have to worry about whether Holly is going to overdose again. Signs point to a hospitalization for Holly soon. She’s taking very strong medication that was not prescribed for her. Ari keeps thinking about hunky Liam and she may go looking for a date with the older single dad.
I wonder if Gabi is going to find enough handwriting samples for Rafe to have the FBI lab prove the divorce document was faked. Rafe is nearly ready to try out his new Versix combo serum soon. Plus, It’s nearly time for EJ to show Paulina who he’s got in the tube and shock her. My guess remains that it’s Lexie Carver.
Shawn-Douglas Brady and Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux Face Mortal Danger While Stefano DiMera’s Will Surfaces on DOOL
Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) and Jack Junior (JJ) Deveraux (Casey Moss) may face danger as they work with Liam to find the scarred man who hired him. Klaus should be in Salem soon to tie off loose ends, and he may be the shooter who wounds Shawn, but he may have actually been aiming for Liam.
It’s nearly time for Stefano DiMera’s will to be read. EJ is certain he knows what’s in it, but does he really? Or did Stefano pull some last-minute shenanigans and alter the will? Stephanie is still missing and Owen Kent is in town. We’ll finally get a better glimpse of who’s responsible for all of these deeds. Stephanie and everybody else assumes it’s Jeremy. I still don’t think it is. We’ll find out.
Romance for Brady Black and Sarah Horton as Alyvia Alyn Lind Exits the Show on Days
Brady and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) are ready to make love and that may drive Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) to extremes. We know Alice Halsey is leaving. As of June 11th, 2025, she was on the set of her new show, “Little House on the Prairie,” doing table reads. They are taping nine to ten months ahead. We should see her wrapping as Rachel in the next, I’m guessing, four to six weeks.
