Days of our Lives brings the drama next week as May sweeps continues. According to spoilers for May 18 to 22, 2026, Kristen ups her deadly game, Alex and Stephanie bond, and Lexie wants some answers.
Days of our Lives' Kristen is about to do another bad thing
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has a one-track mind and refuses to give up on her quest to destroy EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) via murder, but she is not about to commit that murder himself. Instead, she wants Xander (Paul Telfer) to do it for her. But she needs him to kill EJ and not Johnny (Carson Boatman). He used to be her gun for hire (remember when he shot his psychiatrist at her wedding before she was his psychiatrist), but Xander is a changed man now, so will he do it?
Perhaps he will use the money to save Titan. Xander does have Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) to think about, as well as Victoria. While Brady does his best to support Sarah next week, Xander surprises her. Does that mean he is not about to do Kristen's bidding?
Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie (Abigail Klein) take a break from drama and angst next week for some romance, but the news of Alex's new daughter looms over them. Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) is trying her best to make it on her own, so Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) decides to check on her and help her out. Will the subject of what happened with Chloe come up?
Abe (James Reynolds) deals with Lexie's (Nikki Crawford) return next week and her demands to see Paulina (Jackee Harry). The returned-from-the-dead woman wants to meet the woman that her husband is still married to. However, Paulina is a little distracted by Chanel (Raven Bowens), who waits for the results of her biopsy.
