Days of our Lives has an exciting episode on tap for Monday. According to the latest spoilers from Corday Productions for October 12, 2026, Kristen and Sophia have quite a chat and come to a decision. Plus, Alex has words with Joy.
Where Have You Been?

We are not sure of everything that Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has been up to since she left Salem, but we do know she spotted a photo on the Internet that looked suspiciously like Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd). So, she tracked Sophia down to a diner in Kentucky, where Sophia has been working as a waitress for the last few months. She even has a new hairstyle and calls herself Amelia.
She has to come clean when Kristen confronts her. Will we learn where Sophia has been all this time and how she survived? Or does she just lie to Kristen? Teasers say that Kristen and Sophia strike a deal, but that can't be a good thing.
Does Kristen need Sophia to tell EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) that she was not the one who ordered her to kill Johnny? If so, Kristen gets to go home to Rachel (Lorelei Mote), but what about Sophia? Will she get to go home too? That would certainly make helicopter mom Amy (Shi Ne Nielson) happy.
Joy's Close Call

Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) is standing as Stephanie (Abigail Klein) opens the door to her own apartment, but there doesn't seem to be much fallout from that. Instead, spoilers say that Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) draws a line with Joy. Does she fall to the floor the second she knows Stephanie is there and puts on an act? That seems to be something that Joy would do. All those acting classes have surely paid off.
When Joy sees Stephanie, will she lose it and claim that she is too close to Kelsey and therefore violating the court order? Does Alex draw a line in the way Joy treats his wife, who was only trying to help?
The entire incident clearly leaves Stephanie unnerved, but is she also suspicious? Something about this whole scenario has made little sense to her, but it makes even less sense now.
Are you glad Kristen and Sophia are back to cause havoc throughout Salem? Sound off in the comments.
