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.
Monday, October 5
Joy worries about her future.
Alex surprises Stephanie.
Chanel supports Johnny through a difficult decision.
Tuesday, October 6
Rachel gives Brady cause for concern.
Roman surprises Kate.
Wednesday, October 7

Brady is forced to make a difficult call.
Thursday, October 8
Paulina refuses to give up on Lani.

Friday, October 9
Stephanie and Alex steal a private moment.
Steve gets troubling news from Johnny.
So, what do you think will happen when Kristen finds that the woman she thought she murdered and framed (making it looking like a suicide) is alive and well and working in a diner far away from Salem? Was Rita more involved with Stefano DiMera than we even know? Who is the birth mother of Dominic? Is it really Marlena or did someone else carrying her child? And what of Dante? Why is he back in Salem? To get at Philip, or something else? Weigh-in via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Tajh Bellow Fills In for ‘Days of our Lives’ Tyler Joseph Andrews in the Role of Theo Carver
After an earlier post on Thursday, October 1 about General Hospital alumni Tajh Bellow’s (ex-TJ Ashford) upcoming project from Issa Rae’s HOOPAE Digital, comes word that Bellow is temporarily stepping into the role of Days of our Lives Theo Carver to fill in for Tyler Joseph Andrews on the Peacock streaming soap opera.
According to TV Insider, Bellow will be making a one-day appearance next week on the October 6 episode of DAYS as Andrews was unable to make the tape date that was shot 10 months ago on a day last December. Andrews (pictured below) took over the role of Theo in September of 2025.
In Bellow’s upcoming episode as Theo, he will share scenes with Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez). A DAYS spokesperson tells the outlet that Bellow “stepped seamlessly into the role, and the cast and crew were grateful for his professionalism and commitment, albeit for only one episode.”

TAJH WILL BE SEEN IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN OCTOBER
As General Hospital fans know, Tajh played the role of TJ Ashford from 2018 to his last appearance in December of 2024. Along the way, he received two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performances as TJ, the last being in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
In addition, bellow along with Y&R alum Loren Lott will be seen starting on October 14 in the new Love Island spoof series, The Compatibility Experiment. The show will drop exclusively on TikTok and the PineDrama platform.
The Compatibility Experiment gives a satirical look at reality dating shows, think Love Island! The story centers around Kelvin (Bellow) and Camila (Lott), whose relationship is put to the test when they join a reality show to try to win a the million dollar prize.
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.

voted daniel he is an amazing doctor
No offense, but Days is not what is used to be or could be. So many actors/characters who are on now stink. Below is my Days wish list.:)
1. Actors I want to return?
Don Craig(played by Jed Allan.)
Mike Horton(played by Micheal T. Weis.)
Bill Horton
Roman(played by Wayne Northrop.)
make Josh Taylor Chris Kositchek again
Steve Johnson
Shane Donovan
2. Actress I want to return?
Marlena Evans
Liz Curtis
Melissa Horton
Jennifer Horton
Kayla Johnson
Kim Donovan
Center the show around the Hortons. End the Dimera crap. Let EJ, Kate, Chole, Nicole, Brady, go. Bring on Victor Webster as Nicolas Alamain. Get Bo and Hope back together. Bring back Blondes and Shenanigans. Bring on Nicolas Coster as Justin’s long lost dad and get him together with Louise Sorel ( Vivian). Add family, social storylines, love and humor Please LOL!!!!! Oh yes and have Hope find out that Julie is her Mother. Not even Doug knew. Only Alice, Adie and Alice knew. That would be a great storyline.
.
Yes, please and thank you – other than Julie being Hope’s mother. That would destroy the memory of Addie, and the Horton legacy is already sorely missing from this show.
Bring back Bill (the guy who played him for Alice’s funeral was a good casting choice), get anyone other than Jamie for Laura; there is also Tommy, Sandy, Julie’s brother Steven; the list of missing Horton’s goes on and on.
Bring back Liz! Gloria Loring is a wonderful actress and this 45-year viewer misses her on the show.
I have been watching this show since I was little in the early 70’s(Yes I am showing my age lol.) The show was centered around the Hortons. It was so beautifully written. It was about family, social storylines, love, romance and it had humor.
The show is a shell of what it used to be. There are so many actors who are on it now who stink. Their characters have no soul. It is also hard to see Kayla, Justin and Adrienne wasted. It has become a show about blackmail, secrets, paternity test Oh ya and the Dimeras.
The only bright light is Maggie and Victor. They are sweet and cute together.
When Alice was dying and the family came back to say their goodbyes it was so meaningful, heartwarming and so sad. It was the well written, acted and meaningful show that I grew up watching.
HRMitchell so nice to see someone who remembers Days the way I do and who knows what a glorious show it once was. It is also great to see someone who remembers Julie’s brother(played by Stephen Schnetzer .) Do you remember when Marlena and Don’s son DJ died of crib death? I was little when I saw it.I remember it so well. I saw again on Youtube. Still Heartbreaking.
This clip represents how wonderful Days once was and could be again.

If Days was produced the way it was 30 years ago the ratings would be amazing.
All the soaps have forgotten about their history. They all need to get back to basics, great writing, and hire actors and actresses who can act not just those who look good.
Actually this soap is about the Horton granted (i also want more Horton to come back) but ONE family doesn’t make this show. There are THREE powerful families since years who have built this show. They are the Horton of course but also the Brady and the Dimera and let’s not forget the Kiriakis which are important also in their own way. So we can have the Horton and the Dimera, we can have a show about family, social storylines, romance AND drama, blackmails, secrets in order to give conflicts, to be exiting and entertaining…sorry i don’t want to watch “the little house in the prairie”, i don’t want to be bored otherwise i stop watching so i want all the package with above all character driven storylines..and that it is up to the writers who right now are quite incompetent IMO.
I am not saying the show should be Little House LOL!!! I am also not saying the Horton’s should be the only family. The show was created with the Hortons, something Mr. Corday and the writers have forgotten.
The show has lost its heart. Yes blackmail is interesting to a degree, but that is all the show has become. There is no humor, no romance that make you want to watch and tape, so you don’t miss it. Heaven forbid two characters have a conversation about something other than a secret, a man, blackmail, or who’s the daddy LMAO!!!!
I want character driven storylines too, but with characters who are complex, interesting, and acted by actors who can actually act. Who are not Ken and Barbie.
Mr. Corday needs to get a clue. He brings back Justin and Adrienne only to waste them. They have such an amazing history with the show. Heaven forbid the writers explore it. They bring back Kayla only long enough because of Stephanie’s crap. Changing paternity, oh that’s original LOL!!!! Then they give us a taste of Shane and Kim. Those few days with them ( no pun intended) where great.
If the show got back to good old fashioned storytelling that was more than blackmail and secrets with complex characters and amaing actors they would get millions of viewers back who have long given up on the show, and the ratings would be amazing!!!!!!
Let’s start by bringing back Liz Curtis, and Marlena Please!!!!!!:)
.
James Scott overall Actor…He is the most talented soap actor to come along in a long time and he is just so good looking.
Renee Jones performance as doctor…Always loved Lexie.
Joe Mascolo as veteran actor……this one was hard because I love John Aniston and Suzanne Rogers too.
I agree with you on all categories…but it is a tossup for me between Joe and John cuz I just love Victor’s dry wit!!!
But yes, hands down….James Scott is the best actor to EVER be on daytime television..in all of my 40 years of watching! 🙂
Damn we share the same perfect taste in Days actors!!
James scott 100% Agree with you
1)EJ
2)Lexie
3)Victor
I disagree w/Sally, I probably wouldn’t be watching the show if it centered around the Hortons. I like that it’s a lot Darker than it used to be.
The Dimera’s are a very talented family LOL. James Scott, Joe Mascolo and Renee Jones are all exceptional actors, some of the best on the show and I never tire of watching them. John Aniston would have been my second choice for veteran actor
Yes, the actors are exceptional, but EJ is a character that should not even be as old as Will. SORASing a character taht much breaks any connection long-time viewers have, and in the end, it is long-time viewers that keeps a show on the air.
This is one 45-year viewer that has stopped recording it, and if I happen to miss it, oh, well – nothing much lost.
Oh please he is certainly not the only who has mess up sorasing, if you know the show’s history you know that Mike Horton, yeah a HORTON has been sorased, desorased i can’t even number how many times but Mike was a great character nonetheless like Ej Dimera is a great character that a talented actor succeed to make a flesh out, dynamic no matter the sorasing..i can name some other characters who had not been hurt by a sorasing but who are pretty dull and played by some bad actors..so i prefer by far the great character played by a charismatic, great actor who has been sorades.
I have been watching 25 years. Was watching when Philliip was born (went from 4 to 15) as well as EJ and others who have been sorased over the years. At least Ej was gone a long time before they brought him back unlike Phillip and others. Thanks to JS acting I don’t feel any connection was broken. Sorasing can be annoying but IMO there are worse things, like bad acting and poor, drawn out or repeat SL. I for one am glad they sorased Ej cuz if not I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the amazing Ejami chemistry that has kept me watching the last 4 years.
James Scott overall Actor!He is the best days had
i love james scott! i love ej dimera:)
1)EJ
2)Lexie
3)Stefano
james was and remains the best thing I’ve seen in this series from the day she started
1. Ej
2. Lexie
3. Stefano
I’ve always loved Lexie and her ability to stand up to her father and love him at the same time. James Scott is an amazing actor and one of the reason I watch Days religiously. And Stefano. . .no words needed.
1) James Scott – no contest
2)Mark Hapka – love the Dr Horton
3)John Aniston – best snark ever – 2nd – Joe Mascolo
There are a number of very talented actors on Days, but James Scott rises far above the rest. The passion and effort that he puts into his acting has been evident in every scene since he started on this show in 2006. James has the very special ability to convey an unspoken message in a scene that requires no dialogue. He is truly an asset and Days is very lucky to have him.
James wins hands down!
Best Actor: JAMES SCOTT (EJ DIMERA)
Favorite Doctor: Mark H. (Nathan Horton)
Favorite Vet: Joe M. (Stefano DiMera) [with John A./Victor Kiriakis very close behind! Very close 2nd!]
I have to agree with your choices of Joe and John – they both do so much with the very little they are given to work with.
James performances overshadowing !James knocked it out of the park!
i love Lexie And Stefano
james amazing actor.I really think he deserves emmy.What was All My Children thinking when they let him go?
Go ej.
The pic of EJ and Sydney is too cute.
I never thought of Shawn christian as a hottie. JAMES SCOTT IS MY HOTTIE.
I voted for all the DiMeras!! They are what makes this show dynamic and compelling to watch. James Scott as Ej is the most talented actor in my opinion he puts in his heart and soul into his character. Lexie Carver as the doctor and Stefano as the veteran. The DiMeras these days are the most entertaining on this show.
James scott is overall actor the best days ever have! period!! James performance is makes he’s character believable, just amazing.
James Scott is the best actor!!
So great to see Vic w/ a real story and not just the grumpy old man junk they gave him for way to long!
James Scott is #1!!!! There is no competition.
James scott- He is the best actor on the show,very complex and appealing.
Lexi- I love Lexi, she is the best doctor, she just needs a good story.
Stefano- He is amazing, veteran all over, I love the dimeras.
1. James Scott
2. Renee Jones
3. Joe Mascolo
It’s been so good seeing Renee Jones off the shelf and back on my TV screen fairly regularly. That woman needs her own storyline. James Scott and Joe Mascolo are both fantastic (which goes without saying, in my humble opinion). A trifecta of amazing talent. 🙂
James Scott is the best actor on Days. His performances are always top notch. He makes you want to watch a certain scene over and over. I watch DAYS because of James and the Dimeras. Give us EJAMI battling Stefano and Kate and that will be emmy worthy.
James Scott’s EJ and Matthew Ashford’s Jack are the two best characters “Days” has ever seen, in my opinion. I believe that in both cases, the actors gave those roles much more than was originally intended, and the characters became huge thanks to brilliant performances. I would be very happy to see Matthew Ashford back opposite Melissa Reeves again, by the way.
yes Matt Ashford was great too…but still think James Scott is the best by far…until James, i”d have to say Matt was my fav!
I totally agree with you, Ej and Jack played by Scott and Ashford are some of the best characters this show had thanks above all to their performers. Complex, multi-layered, played with lot’s of subtext..can be bad and good, between antihero and villain (well the early years for Jack/Matt after that they quite mess up the character but Asford managed to still make Jack enjoyable above all because of his acting talent charisma and great comedic timing). However Jack was much better written than Ej because the writing was talented in early 90’s..but Scott thanks to his talent manages to make his character complex and captivating..imagine if Scott would have played a character on this show in 90’s..it would have been..just delicious..but right now at least we have him playing all the right notes and subtlety even with this crap writing and for that kudos James Scott..you can be a star outside of Daytime you have the talent.

Galen Gering
Alison Sweeney
Eric Martsolf
These are the ppl who I feel have ,without question, really “brought it” with some amazing performances!! Love them!!
Really Galen Gering OMG !! He’s ok but not best actor. sorry
Yes, Really. Let me restate it incase it wasnt clear…
I think Galen Gering is phenomenal!!
Im certainly entitled to my opinion and entitled to support him here or anywhere else I choose to for that matter! I didnt comment about any one elses choice!!
Yes…I think Galen Gering is the best actor on Days…
i would love to see james scott and alison sweeney get back together again. the galen thing is too old fashioned. sami is a bad girl in need of a bad boy like ej
Yes, you are I said sorry and that’s your opinion. For me James scott is the BEST actor on days my opinion.
KenseysMom
Love your choice of Galen especially after those emotional hospital scenes with Lindsay. Wow!!!
Peter always pulls me into his character and Eric has delivered with his dark Brady turn. Great men delivering fabulous performances!
I love Galen, too. He delivers on those very emotional scenes, the comedic banter, and the romantic leading man role. I only wish he were on much more than he is now.
More than he now ? fact and you can check it, the best demo of days of our lives was when galen rafe was not there! But each opinion ,galen good actor not great and I’m sure I would not give him a prize! people dont care abaut him!
I agree with you, Waverly, and KenseysMom. I love Galen, too. I have really enjoyed his performances. He was definitely outstanding in the hospital scenes after Arianna’s accident and in today’s show during her memorial service.
To each his own i think Gering is the weakest actor on this show.
All his emotional scenes did no anything for me..actually it was quite laughable (and i am an actress..) He also lacks of screen-presence and chemistry with his acting partners..it is lame and pretty weak..but good for him if he has his fans, even the worst of us have to be liked..lol..his “acting” we call that “hair model acting”..the guy should give his place to someone who can act and has presence..ah well anyway in every soaps you have bad and dull actors..it is for this reason that lot’s of people make fun of this genre..so i guess Gering has his place as a bad soap actor..lol
oups i meant the emotional scenes did do nothing to me, niet nada just some laughs of mockery..it was pretty bad..
agree with your synopsis of gering. he is ok but the chemistry of sweeney and scott is what keeps me watching.
James Scott without a doubt!! Favorite doctor, Lexie 1st, then Nathan, Veteran, I voted Victor but Stefano is a very close 2nd. John Aniston has had better lines lately.
A DiMera sweep from me
James Scott
Renee Jones
Joe Mascolo
My votes go to Galen Gering, my favorite actor and character on Days, Crystal Chappell, and John Aniston.
Chappell and Aniston ok they are good actors but Gering seriously ?! Lol hey everybody likes who they likes but ..seriously you has to be a passion fan..otherwise..lol Ok i kid..Gering is pretty bad but it is your choice..why not..it is just your choice..not a acting teacher’s choice or a casting director’s choice or an academy choice thankfully ! lol
Best Overall Perfomer – JAMES SCOTT!!! He is just amazing and hott!
Favorite Veteran Performer – JOE MASCOLO! Love the Dimera men!!!
Favorite Doctor – DANIEL! He is the lifesaver of Salem! He saved more lives in the past 2 years than all the other doctors combined. Bo, Victor, Philip, Theo, Kate, Chloe, Melanie, EJ, Stefano and he was there to help Stephanie and Maggie…. Without him half the characters would be dead. Lol!
James Scott by far is the best actor Days has had on the screen in a long time! He takes me to Salem and I see and feel what EJ is going through because of his unrequited love for Samantha Brady. He now is a father first and foremost and wants to be with his children. Sami Brady is being horrible keeping him from them. I think Lexie is a wonderful, caring doctor. Joe Mascolo is my favorite veteran actor. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a DiMera Day!
Best actor without a doubt is James Scott. He is definitely one of the best the show has.
Thanks for the polls, Michael. Galen Gering gets my vote in any catagory he is in.
I also love John Anniston and Joe Mascolo.
James Scott all the way! He’s tall, dark and handsome, charming and naughty but nice! Shawn Christian as Dr. Jonas is my favorite doctor – he’s an awesome surgeon with wonderful bedside manner. I love John Aniston as Victor with all his snarky comments! Go Days! Get back to #1 in ratings!
Dany & Marcy ….well just woke up and forgot I had checked that lovely little box to continue receiving replies to this thing!! What a way to wake up. What on EARTH is wrong with you people?? Honestly. Bad home lives? Hate your job?? What is it that makes all of you EJAMI fans so vile? The folks that you are berating,after their comments of support for GALEN GERING, made NO refrence to their distaste for James Scott or the zillion reasons why we dont like HIM!! Why the need to continuously do that in regards to Galen? I dont think children are allowed to post here, right Michael? So lets not behave like them.
I will leave this by saying first…Michael Im sorry to keep this sillyness going but its so darn hard to see the continued bashing of Galen and anyone that supports him. To the EJAMI clan? Good for you. Glad you support yer guy. Bet he appreciates it. I for one cannot watch him on screen. LOOOONG before there was a “Rafe” on the show..I couldnt. NO Im not a passions fan. In fact Ive never watched a soap EVER till I caught Galen and Ali during the Safehouse scenes….been glued ever since. My opinion. My choice. Please Please…stop the bashing. No one CARES about your obsession with JS. I realize you are passionate about him for whatever reason…but they are YOUR reasons and not shared by the universe *gasp*
Thanks and yes…I remembered to make sure I WONT be receiving anymore replies to this thingy!!
Michael, Bless your heart, Thanks for having this…..poll…and tell our Galen he may not have won..but his fans love him 🙂
Firstly, not all James Scott fans are EJAMIs and not all have obsessions, unlike the 5 Galen fans.
All of you that think James Scott is a better actor than Galen Gering have your own opinion but those of us that think otherwise should have respect. This is a public poll you know. Those of you that mock Galen don’t have any right to, he’s just as good as, if not better than James Scott.
crystal chappell is a fine woman and great actor. her amazing webseries, venice, should not be missed. she is so very creative.
