Days of our Lives starts off November sweeps with a surprise when Dominic Marino comes to town. According to the latest spoilers from Corday Productions for Monday, November 2, 2026, Rita has a secret meeting and Sydney may find a big secret.
Who Is This Masked Man?

Rita (Maggie Carney) seems to be the key to everything when it comes to the Dominic Marino (Kyle Pryor) mystery. She sent Stefano's (Joseph Mascolo) ring to Dominic and lied to EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) about its whereabouts. Plus, she has been lying to Marlena and EJ for weeks about what she knows.
On Monday, she meets with a masked man at the Salem Inn, who appears to be Dominic Marino. The man of the hour has made it to Salem and seems ready to stake his claim to the DiMera name. He may have backed out of buying the Kiriakis mansion, but that doesn't mean he can't settle elsewhere.
What does Dominic want and is he as evil as his alleged father or does he take after his alleged mother more? Marlena (Deidre Hall) is hesitant to speak to and meet the man, but she may not be able to avoid him much longer since he appears to be in Salem to stay.
What Does Sydney Find?

Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) and EJ share a quiet evening watching movies and eating popcorn. EJ just had a terrible dream, so this is a welcome distraction to help keep his mind off of Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Johnny (Carson Boatman).
Cat and EJ also share a close moment, but that close moment does not last long. Sydney (Sydney Malakeh) appears because she has made a discovery and wants to talk to her father. Sydney already doesn't trust EJ and knows he has been lying to her about his involvement in the Coriseal mess.
However, Sydney also seems like the person who can keep her dad in check. EJ didn't listen to Johnny much, but he seems to want his daughter to have a better opinion of him. Will Sydney's presence in Salem help tame EJ or will Dominic's presence make things worse?
