Days of our Lives' Kristen is still lurking around Salem, but she is still determined not to be found. According to spoilers for Thursday, August 6, 2026, Kristen makes a big move, while the Kiriakis brothers may celebrate a little too soon.
Mother Knows Best?

It's unusual to just about everyone that Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) would vanish just when Rachel (Lorelei Mote) is finally home and free from Bayview. That's all Kristen had wanted for months, but when the big day arrived she was nowhere to be seen and now everyone thinks that she skipped town.
EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) knows why Kristen is missing, but he has no idea where she is. And Kristen is not about to miss any opportunity to see her daughter. It's a good thing EJ's mom is around and looks exactly like Kristen despite the bad teeth. Kristen does what she has done so many times before and dons a Kristen disguise to sneak in and see Rachel.
Rachel is not sure why Uncle EJ's mother is there at first, but Kristen will reveal herself to her thrilled daughter. Of course, she will burden Rachel with yet another secret and ask her to keep this visit quiet, but Rachel is bound to say something that will set EJ on Kristen's trail.
Titan Almost Saved?

Xander (Paul Telfer) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) knew that Gabi's (Cherie Jimenez) money was en route to the Titan accounts, but they tried to save the celebration till morning. Well, it's now the next day and the Kiriakis brothers want to pop the champagne, but their celebration soon comes to a crashing halt.
Meanwhile, Gabi is quite pleased with herself as she taunts EJ and takes pleasure in watching his frustration. She loves that her DiMera inheritance can save an enemy company, which drives EJ insane. So, does EJ do something underhanded to ruin the good mood?
He holds Titan's debt and can easily make it even harder to repay. Does he make some phone calls or does he convince Gabi to change her mind? Is there anything he can offer her that can actually make her turn on Philip?
Is Kristen playing with fire? Do you want to see Philip and Xander take down EJ? Sound off in the comments.
