Days of our Lives keeps May hopping with a dramatic will reading the week of May 11 to 15, 2026. The fallout will affect Salemites for years to come because this just isn't about a last will and testament. Stefano's will isn't the only drama in store next week, so read on to see what other surprises are on the horizon.
Lexie's alive on Days of our Lives
Nobody was more surprised than the catty, mourning DiMeras when another one of Stefano's (the late Joseph Mascolo) offspring emerged from the not-so-secret tunnels in pink satin pajamas. This offspring was supposed to be dead, but who really stays dead in Salem, especially when you're a DiMera?
Abe (James Reynolds) and Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) will be most affected by this, but the entire DiMera clan will be stunned by Lexie's apperance. Will Abe learn that his wife had been keeping this a secret from him for weeks? How will that affect their marriage?
After the shock of her sister being alive wears off, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) finds herself dreaming of Sophia (Rachel Boyd) again. Is the girl's murder weighing on her conscience? It is also weighing on Holly's (Ashley Puzemis) conscience as Amy (Shi Ne Nielson) seeks her out. Holly feels responsible for Sophia's last choice, but neither her nor Amy know the half of it. The only people who know are Kristen and her goons.
As for EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel), his just tickled pink and proud of himself, but now it is time to move onto something else — namely figuring out what kind of past he really shared with Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord).
Marlena (Deidre Hall) is also everywhere next week as she gives advice all around. Paulina (Jackee Harry) is going to need someone to lean on, while Belle (Martha Madison) just needs some advice from her mom. Does Chad's (Conner Floyd) presence have anything to do with that? Should she pursue something with him? And does Paulina tell Abe and Theo what she knew?
