DAYS Video Preview October 5 to 9: Kristen and Sophia are BACK! Dante Comes to Salem, Johnny Tells All

Days of our Lives heads into a big week in Salem. According to the latest spoilers video from Peacock for October 5 to 9, 2026, Kristen pops up again, and this time, she has found someone. Plus, there is trouble galore back home for her family and others.

Rachel Needs Her Mom

Rachel (Lorelei Mote) is having stomach pains again, which means she is having emotional troubles again. Brady (Eric Martsolf) takes her to the ER, but she just wants her mom, who is still MIA. (Could pre-teen Rachel also be having another issue she needs her mom for?)

It's a good thing we see Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) again this week when she manages to track Sophia (Rachel Boyd) down at an out-of-town diner. Sophia is either wearing a wig or has dyed her hair and is calling herself Amelia, but she is definitely Sophia, even with the crazy Southern accent. We all knew she wasn't dead, but is she the one who has been texting Holly (Ashley Puzemis)?

Johnny's Confession

It's a big week for the DiMera clan when Johnny (Carson Boatman) takes his conscience to his Aunt Belle (Martha Madison). She is in for quite a surprise as Johnny tells all. His dad is up to his eyeballs in illegal activities, and he got Johnny mixed up in all of it. Theo bailed and now Johnny is doing the only thing he knows how to do to make things right.

This wouldn't be happening at all if it weren't for Sydney (Sydney Malakeh) and her advice to fight back. She didn't want Johnny to go to Rafe (Galen Gering), but she seems like the type of gal who just wants to do what's right. So, what will her attitude be when Dante Vitali (Franco Lo Presti) shows up in Salem? Sydney seems to have a very close relationship with her mother's fiancé...

Stephanie's Discovery?

Outside of DiMera Land, it appears that Joy (AlexAnn Hopkins) now lives with Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and has to fake her paralysis. That becomes difficult when the baby is crying and Stephanie (Abigail Klein) is outside the door.

Joy gets up to tend to the baby, but Stephanie is trying to open the door to her own apartment. Will Joy finally be caught in the act?

Are you looking forward to Sophia's return? Are you looking forward to Joy finally being caught? Sound off in the comments.
