Expect a world full of drama on Days of our Lives this week as stories collide with multiple lives on the line. The hottest Salem plots for the week of August 10 to 14, 2026, feature big changes for the Carvers, as well as big moves in Alamania, plus so much more.
A New Life?

It's a big week for Chanel (Raven Bowens) as she tries to be the voice of reason for Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and a good friend for Stephanie (Abigail Klein). She tries to get Alex to see Stephanie's point of view and why Joy's (AlexAnn Hopkins) constant problems are becoming too much. But she has her own issues to deal with at home as Johnny's (Carson Boatman) guilt weighs on him and Chanel needs more of a break.
By the end of the week, Chanel has a relaxing dinner with Lani (Sal Stowers) and Johnny at the Bistro, but then things seem to get precarious as Chanel feels labor pains. Is this the real deal or a false alarm?
Finding Lexie

As Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) starts to realize that something is up with his mother, he rushes to the DiMera mansion and demands answers from Rita (Maggie Carney). Chad (Conner Floyd) is right by Theo's side when they confront Rita, who shows an ounce of compassion and leads them to Lexie's room.
When Chad and Theo find her, Lexie is in some pretty bad shape and doesn't have long. They manage to find Abe (James Reynolds), who gets to Lexie in time to say goodbye, which is exactly what Lexie didn't want.
Finding Leo (and Gwen)

It's Rafe (Galen Gering) to the rescue when he also ends up in Alamania and immediately locates Gwen (Emily O'Brien) and Leo (Greg Rikaart). The problem is, they have to maneuver themselves away from Dimitri, who has all types of contingencies in place so that he can have Leo for himself. Rafe also makes Gwen a tempting offer. Will she end up becoming an FB informant?
Back in Salem, Rafe's sister works with the Kiriakis brothers to try to rescue Titan, but that will be easier said than done now that EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) has called in their loan. What tricks do they have up their sleeve?
