DAYS OF OUR LIVES Preview: Kristen Locates an Alive Sophia, How Much Does Rita Know About the Birth of Dominic Marino?
Next week, expected surprises and schemes on Days of our Lives. In official spoilers for episodes streaming on Peacock from October 5-9, it looks like Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) has hunted down a very much alive Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd), while Marlena (Deidre Hall) admits a deeply concerning confession to her daughter Belle (Martha Madison), and more.
As previously reported, Tajh Bellow (ex-TJ Ashford, General Hospital) is stepping in for one day for Tyler Joseph Andrews in the role of Theo Carver and will share scenes with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), where Theo finally agrees to go along with Gabi’s plan, after she offered him a job.
Meanwhile, Gabi may have her hands full with Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) whose big win in Monte Carlo may have sparked his gambling addiction … all over again, but Philip reveals her has a plan.

Sydney (Sydney Malekeh) is in for a shock when Dante (Franco LoPresti) arrives in Salem. Why is he in Salem? Is he part of the unraveling of the Dominic Marino mystery, since we know he seemed like he was talking to the man in Monte Carlo?
Will Marlena ever figure out what Rita (Maggie Carney) is hiding about the mystery of Dominic, and if Marlena is truly his birth mother or did something more suspicious go on and how deeply involved is Rita in this whole story?
EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) finally demands answers of his own from Rita after overhearing on today’s Cliffhanger Friday her conversation with Marlena. Will Rita cop to anything?
Then as noted, while everyone thinks Sophia took her own life, after Kristen “murdered” her, Kristen is infuriated to find she is somehow alive working as waitress in a diner in Kentucky. Will Kristen try to kill Sophia yet again?
Take a look at some of the additional spoilers for next week’s action on DAYS below.

So, what do you think of Tajh stepping in for Tyler Joseph Andrews as Theo on DAYS? Perhaps, the soap opera liked his work that he might be considered for another role in the future bringing Bellow back to the soaps? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
Four cast members are officially on contract at Days of our Lives, according to the soap opera’s closing credits on Peacock and longtime Days expert and historian Jason 47.
Lauren Koslow (Kate), Sydney Malakeh (Sydney), Sal Stowers (Lani) and Jacob Martinez (Javi) are the names that appear in the closing credits in the contracted cast members section. Days of our Lives fans also note that the series tapes ten months in advance of streaming episodes.
As Days of our Lives fans know, Lauren Koslow has played Kate Roberts since 1996, and recently filled-in for Jess Walton in the role of Jill Abbott on The Young and the Restless when Walton was unable to travel from Oregon to Los Angeles during the specific tape dates. But now, Koslow has been re-upped to contract status as of the September 8 episode.

SIGNED, SEALED, DELIVERED
Sydney Malakeh is the newest member of the contract players when she debuted on contract status on the September 10th episode. Days fans first met Sami (Alison Sweeney) and EJ’s (Dan Feuerriegel) daughter in scenes in Monte Carlo around a gambling table.
As for Sal Stowers, the actress had been on contract from 2015-2022, then on recurring status with the soap, and would make appearances and limited runs since 2023. Soap fans first saw Sal as Cassandra Foster on Prospect Park’s revival of All My Children in 2013. Sal’s first new contracted episode was noted to be September 16.
Jacob Martinez, debuted on June 30 of this year as the successor to Al Calderon in the role of Javi Hernandez, and has now been bumped up to series regular as of the September 10 episode.

CREDITS
According to the referenced posting from Days of our Lives expert and historian Jason 47, he shared, “It took me four weeks to realize, but the same week that Sydney Malakeh (Sydney) debuted (9/7-9/11), “Days” also put Lauren Koslow (Kate), Jacob Richard Martinez (Javi) and Sal Stowers (Lani) on contract.”
Jason47 added, “This confirms the “errors” of Lani being listed in the credits the week of 9/7 but not appearing, and Kate and Javi appearing in the credits the week of 9/14 but not appearing. It also now makes sense why Javi and Sydney are being listed before Rafe and Philip in the credits.”
He also shared, “For the record, Lauren Koslow’s first date back on contract was 9/8, Jacob Richard Martinez was upped to contract on 9/10, Sydney Malakeh debuted on contract 9/10 and Sal Stowers’ first date back on contract was 9/16. The records will be fixed on the website in the coming days.”
So, glad to hear Lauren, Sydney, Sal and Jacob appear to be on contract with Days of our Lives (as of these episode airings)? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Yes! Please let Abigail be pregnant with Elvis’ baby – great potential for lot’s of characters reactions and Elvis is much more interesting with Abigail!!
Jennifer and Stefano as grandparents of the baby is too delicious for words.
I hope Abigail isnt pregnant…too many rarely seen children on this show as it is: Sami has 3 young ones, Abe has Theo, and Danial has Parker…Parker is off with Chloe and the other children are in school as the often used excuses…now i know there is some story possibilities with this often told plot but i still hope she has the stomach flu…then again what fun would the stomach flu be? Well, if preggers, how will Abigail explain it: will she admit E.J. the daddy or will she claim some random stranger or will Tad step in and help Ababygil, at her urging, of course…so i guess she will be prego!!!
I recently posted about Kristen possibly returning with a baby…now im not so sure about that if Abigail is preggers…that would be too much baby drama for me after watching all the baby drama on GH with baby Georgie, baby Ben and Sabrinas preggers storyline!!!
I love the drama but I would prefer Abigail not be pregnant. Agree with jimh’s post about too many unseen children. Am kind of over the already way too-tangled family trees. I;d like to see stories that do not involve reproduction, please.
I know that this comment may start a stir, but, I really can’t stomach Sami. She’s too immature. I’m not sad the actress is leaving. I know there are a lot of Ejami fans; but, I just don’t see the chemistry. Eileen Davidson-powerhouse, stellar performer, Ari Zuker-great with comedic timing, lots of chemistry with many other characters. It’s just my opinion…
You’re not the only one that doesn’t care for Sami – don’t get me wrong, nothing against Ali – and I’ve liked James Scott since he was on AMC, but I won’t miss Sami & her predictably-unpredictable ways. She’s 30 – on the verge of 40 and acts like she’s 14 (no offense to any 14 year olds who may read this). She needs to grow up & stop making bad choice after bad choice. I’m willing to bet Sami will be back for the 50th, but in the meantime, I hope they mature the character & stop writing her as such a cartoon. If/when she does come back, I’d rather see her with Lucas, he makes her tolerable and when they scheme together, it’s the stuff of soap legend!
I seriously doubt Abbey is pregnant. There are some twists to this story which will unfold in the up-coming weeks. I think EJ drugged Abbey into thinking they had sex at cabin to distract her from going to Hope to save Sami.
I also do not think they had sex in the shower because Sami appeared. I think EJ’s fear is that Sami will find out he drugged Abey the way his sister drugged Eric.
He will use one of the Dimera doctors to test Abbey for pregnancy. Yes, he goes along with the theory of pregnancy, but in reality he knows that is not possible and is more concerned about the drug in her system, which could put him in jail if revealed.
These are bits and pieces I received from a reliable source. Tme will tell regarding what really happened and why!!!
Wasn’t it extremely predictable that Abby would become pregnant? It’s really a soapy done to death formula – I think if Abby is pregnant she should have triplets, and when Sami finds out she should attempt to leave Salem but then gets abducted by Aliens. Yes I know it’s strange but it would be different from this tired same-old same-old they are coming up with right now.
2 reasons : I don’t mind this
#1. to rile Jenn – her golden ringed daughter is DiMera’d – dig in Abs & stand your ground
#2. by all accounts this sounds like AS’ Sammi is going to have a bang of a Year
if you take in to account Kristen returning as well.
fasten your seat belts
Are soap writers really this bereft, bankrupt, and devoid of ideas?? They have one of the most appealing younger actresses in Kate Mansi and they have absolutely no clue how to involve her in a popular love story and age appropriate activities. Really???? Remember when Days had young heroines like Hope and Jennifer and they built supercouples around them? Now they have had Abigail psychotically chasing after two men old enough to be her father. I dont find this entertaining or interesting or worthwhile at all.
Well I did love the look on Elvis’s face at the end of today’s show when Sami told him Abigail could be pregnant —- by just using his eyes James Scott convey what EJ would be thinking at the moment and it was obviously “O sh8t.’ it was priceless.
I believe she will be pregnant and it will force the truth of the affair out in the open, but I believe she will miscarry or will lose the baby at some point. Days tends to do that a lot when they want the drama a pregnancy can bring, but don’t really want another child to be born into the show’s history.
Of course they could be brave and actually do an intelligent story about abortion and the real emotional effect that decision has on many young women lives. At most they always have the young lady go to the clinic but at the last minute change her mind– but lots of women don’t change their minds and exploring their story would be a refreshing breath of honesty for a soap to follow. I think Abigail would be a the perfect character for this story to be told through, and although other soaps have done it, it has been a while-
“… lots of women don’t change their minds and exploring their story would be a refreshing breath of honesty for a soap to follow. I think Abigail would be the perfect character for this story to be told through”
I, agree… especially… when this would give Kate Mansi…. some amazing material… a young woman… coming in to her own… her choices…. if they choose not to go down the obvious… ala another younger woman/older man… route… like Abs did with Austin. which, was quite entertaining… and had a lot of comedic good time laughs
great idea.
I think she is pregnant with Chad’s child. She should have an abortion if she is. Good storyline to show women have the choice. Not a good idea for her to have a baby. Would ruin her life.
I hate this mini arc.I am hopeful it all ends in April. Abigail will likely not be pregnant.The show has done so many pregnancy stories – they are all redundant.
I hope that EJ confesses to Sami asap. It is quickly resolved that Abigail isnt pregnant and begins dating one of the new 20 something males.
It would be best that EJ confesses to Sami that he had 2 encounters with a woman truly one night stands while she shut him out. Never revealing it was Abigail.
Abigail and EJ decide it is best for all to just forget this ever happened. No one else finds out – except for Stefano who may hold it over EJ’s head. But otherwise, a full happy ever after wedding happens in May for Ejami. And james and Ali leave for a long 4 month honeymoon in time to return to say goodbye to Salem – as they are moving their family out of Salem. EJ turns over Dimera Enterprises to the new 50-70 year old lead and Kristen that is coming aboard Days.
We bid farewell to the iconic ejamily in happy way. Leaving room for a return at the 50th celebration.
I sooooooo hope that Abigail is pregnant. It would serve that sneaky, self-righteous *#%@! Sami right! I have always despised the pairing of EJ and Sami — they have absolutely no chemistry. Every since she left that totally honest man (besides being incredibly handsome and sexy) RAFE — I lost all interest in the show. I did go back a couple months ago…and was happy to see the writers had finally found Rafe a woman — just to find out THEY have absolutely no chemistry!! Jordan is such a loser. Oops, I was a big SAFE fan, but I better get back to EJ/Abby…I would like to see Sami flip off EJ before she bows out at the end of the year. I would like to see Abby flip off EJ and find a young stud her own age. Then I might consider continuing to watch the show. Please don’t continue to write EJ and Sami as a happy family — at the very least they are dysfunctional!
It sucks!!!!!!!!! I am sick of this story. I want sami and ej to be happy. Plus the age difference in real time is sick. I may stop watching besides the fact allisons departure.
I would love to see abby preggos I do believe she really is preggos she was lied to no thanks to stephano being in cucoots twith her nurse
My thought too – with Stefano involved & the doctor clearly on his payroll, there is a LOT more to this story than we know – Abby is pregnant & there is no WAY Stefano will allow anything to happen to a grandchild – he knows Samantha very well & he’s going to do everything he can to protect Abby as well as the baby.
i would love to see thersea sticking it to Jennifer at her dinner party with that flyer of Jennifer
I do not want Abby to be pregnant. Jeez, is that the one attempt by the writers for the character to keep them connected? Abby is a selfish child for creating this situation. Why should Ejami pay for this random fling? Ejami has suffered enough! If Alli is leaving, I want James to go with her. Let them ride off into the sunset happy and in love. I can’t deal with EJ and Sami not together. I will be heart broken. EJAMI FOREVER!
