Oh, my Salemites! Your favorite veteran soap opera journalist is here, absolutely buzzing with excitement for what’s coming to our beloved Days of Our Lives the week of August 10th through August 14th, 2026! Having watched since day one, I can tell you this week is shaping up to be a classic Salem whirlwind: high-stakes corporate espionage, deeply personal family struggles, and perhaps even a hint of a familiar face returning to stir the pot. Grab your coffee, because we’re diving deep into the drama that only Days can deliver!
From the moment that iconic hourglass flipped, Days has been delivering the goods, and August 2026 is no exception. We’re talking about revelations that could shake the very foundations of Salem. Let’s get right to it – here’s your exclusive breakdown of what’s hitting Salem next week!
Monday, August 10: DiMera Secrets & Chad’s Confidante
Kicking off the week with a bang, we hear that EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and the ever-scheming Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) are on the hunt! Our intel suggests they confront someone about a mysterious, potentially damning secret document. Knowing the DiMeras, this can only mean one thing: a massive power play is afoot! Could it be tied to Stefano’s forgotten will, or a loophole in the DiMera Enterprises charter? Remember Ava’s past manipulations within the family; teamed with EJ, they are practically unstoppable. My gut tells me this document could expose a long-buried secret that threatens the entire DiMera legacy!
Meanwhile, Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), still navigating life as a single dad after the tragic loss of his beloved Abigail, finds himself confiding in Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). Chad’s been through so much, and leaning on Stephanie – with her PR savvy and no-nonsense attitude – is exactly the kind of grounded presence he needs. Could this be the start of a new romance for Chad? After all, a new connection would be a welcome sight after all his heartbreak, but let’s be real, no DiMera romance is ever simple!
Tuesday, August 11: Xander & Sarah’s Struggle, Steve & Kayla’s Concern
Oh, my heart goes out to Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey)! Spoilers indicate they face a significant setback in their journey to expand their family. After everything they’ve endured, they truly deserve a happy ending. Could this be related to fertility issues or a new health scare for Sarah? And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) re-enters the picture, offering “support.” We all know Gwen’s “support” usually comes with a hefty dose of manipulation. Is she truly turning over a new leaf, or is she just waiting for the perfect moment to snatch Xander back? My money’s on the latter!
Across town, our beloved supercouple, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady Johnson (Mary Beth Evans), receive unsettling news from a specialist. Is it a new health crisis for a family member, or perhaps a clue about a long-lost relative? Whatever it is, if it concerns Steve and Kayla, it’s bound to be serious and will undoubtedly send ripples through the entire Johnson-Brady clan, just like so many times before.
Wednesday, August 12: DiMera Boardroom Battle & Brady’s Woes
The DiMera drama heats up mid-week as Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus) and Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) go head-to-head with EJ over a crucial board vote at DiMera Enterprises. You just know this is going to be a classic DiMera boardroom showdown, fueled by years of rivalry and ambition. Gabi and Stefan have fought tooth and nail for their place, often at EJ’s expense. Who will emerge victorious? My money’s on Gabi finding a way to outmaneuver EJ – she always does!
Meanwhile, Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) is once again caught in the never-ending carousel of his love life, confiding in Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) about Theresa Donovan’s (Jen Lilley) erratic behavior. It sounds like a custody battle for Tate could be brewing, reminiscent of their past struggles. Theresa always has a flair for the dramatic, and if Tate’s well-being is at stake, you can bet she’ll pull out all the stops. Will Chloe be Brady’s rock, or will this reignite old feelings?
Thursday, August 13: Marlena’s Premonition & Alex’s Bold Move
Get ready for chills, because our resident psychic, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), senses a new psychic disturbance in Salem! This can only mean one thing: a new threat is looming, or perhaps a powerful, mystical artifact has made its way to town. Marlena’s premonitions are rarely wrong, and when she warns John Black (Drake Hogestyn), you know it’s serious. Could this be connected to the secret document EJ and Ava are chasing, or a new villain with a supernatural bent? With Doc at the helm, we know Salem stands a fighting chance!
On the Kiriakis front, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) makes a bold move to impress someone, possibly trying to take over a division of Titan. We know Alex is eager to prove himself, often cutting corners or stepping on toes. This move
