Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of March 23-27, 2026, tease an emotional week in Salem as Rachel prepares for her hearing, Tate feels odd, EJ manipulates (as always), and Johnny and Chanel prepare for a good day. Will that day go terribly wrong?

Rachel's (Lorelei Mote) nerves about her hearing may prove to be spot on as the judge doesn't take too kindly to what happened last year. Before the hearing, Marlena (Deidre Hall) makes a discovery. Does it have anything to do with Rachel and will it affect the judge's decision?

Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) goes to bat for her daughter, but it could all be for naught as Rachel gets devastating news on Friday. Will she be forced to return to Bayview? That would make Sophia (Rachel Boyd) very happy, indeed. If Tate (Leo Howard) visits his sister again, will Sophia notice that something is off?

EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) is as sinister as ever and that ring on his finger is not helping the situation at all. He has Paulina right where he wants her when he makes threats. She has to do his bidding if she wants to make sure his Lexie (Nikki Crawford) "experiment" goes right.

In other Salem news, Liam (Hank Northrop) lies to Ari (Marissa Reyes), who is smitten by the young man. She also enjoys having someone around now that Holly (Ashley Puzemis) has moved out. Leo (Greg Rikaart) returns to Salem next week and runs straight to Marlena for some therapy. He is still torn between Javi and Dimitri (Peter Porte) while Dimitri remains in Alamainia. And finally, Belle (Martha Madison) may be surprised when Jada (Elia Cantu) asks Shawn (Brandon Beemer) to move in with her. She wanted to be the one to take care of her ex-husband after his gunshot wound, but Jada has now volunteered. We'd been wondering when that love triangle would re-emerge.
