Days of Our Lives 2-Week Spoilers for May 18-29, 2026 surprise when Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) loses it and blasts someone with their incredible betrayal. Also, Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) is packing to leave unless something major changes.

It’s Belinda from Soap Dirt and we’re going to go into everything that’s happening these two weeks with Philip and Gabi and Paulina, Abe and Lexie and Xander, Kristen, and many more. But first, please click subscribe if you are not following us yet. Okay, let’s get into it.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Monday, May 18

On Monday, May 18, we will pick up Friday’s episode. We’re back at the Salem Inn, and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) is working on Xander Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) to kill EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). Kristen makes him a tempting gift and she and Xander start making out. But it looks like things aren’t going well for him and maybe Kristen is playing it safe because Xander’s arm or shoulder is injured and he’s headed to University Hospital to get it fixed. And it looks like Sarah has to deal with her Xander and she may have questions about how the injury happened.

And from Friday, Gwen goes to have coffee with her ex-girlfriend Leo and talks about her frustration with Xander, but she better talk about her anger with EJ about the Versix deal because Leo is going to ride on that. Sarah and Brady are getting closer, but I suspect they are on the way to nowhere. Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) tells Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) something that’s hard for him to hear, and I think it’s about Stephanie and her feelings about children.

And the question is, even if she doesn’t want children of her own, can she accept the daughter of Alex and Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) in her life? Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) doesn’t want Paulina to worry about her biopsy because of all of Lexie’s stress. Chanel already knows full well that it will be a cancer diagnosis, but she may not break the bad news to Paulina just yet.

Tuesday, May 19

Tuesday, May 19, Alex reassures Stephanie and they enjoy some romance, but their troubles are far from over. And Philip comes in with Joy and he’s going to see cute little Kelsey. Apparently, Philip and Joy have some history due to his past with Chloe Lane, his older sister. Also, little Kelsey is family to Philip as Alex’s daughter. Also, this week, Joy took it out on the park with Lani. So, you may have watched Trey during Chanel’s biopsy. Then, Lani tells Joy that Chanel has a lot on her plate right now and to give her space.

Meanwhile, Abe Carver (James Reynolds) thanks EJ for bringing Lexie Carver back. I wonder if EJ will tell Abe that Paulina has known for a long time. And Lexie decides she wants to meet Abe’s new wife, Paulina. Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) opened for Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). And obviously, it’s about Lexie’s return.

Wednesday, May 20 Days of Our Lives

Wednesday, May 20, is the last day of the May sweeps. And we’ll see Gabi make Liam a promise. I wonder if Gabi will use some kind of cash payment if Liam agrees to dump Arianna Horton (Vico Escorcia) and no longer date her. Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) and Belle’s postponed date is happening. They are sitting in the town square enjoying wine when something catches their eye. Cat worries about what EJ might remember if Marlena puts him to sleep.

So, we saw the cat asking Marlena for help. Amy is devastated and grieves for her daughter Sophia Choi (Madelyn Kientz). So, we will have to see if his body was found downstream at that time. Plus, Arianna and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) talk about their complicated feelings for Sophia, who was a walking nightmare.

Thursday, May 21st

Thursday, May 21, Xander proposes to Gwen. You may want more from Xander. Maybe he’s giving Gwen a compromise, but it looks like Xander is going back to Kristen on the same day, albeit hurt. It looks like Xander might be ready for round two. Tony tries to calm his distraught wife, Anna. He’s done with Salem, but Tony wants a new CEO at DiMera Enterprises before they leave.

So, Anna will go over to see Philip The Titan. And Ana tells Philip something that surprises him. Like, jaw dropping, mouth hanging, just stunned. So, Anna might expose Gabi’s corporate espionage to him. We’ll see if this is something that Tony asks Anna to do even if he’s gone rogue.

Philip shares the truth with Gabi. And I wonder if Philip will agree that they named Johnny after Bonnie’s letter. Paulina visits Lexie in her hospital room. And this week, Abe is surprised when Paulina says she’s leaving. And I wonder if that comes after his conversation with Lexie. Also, Theo tells Abe that he can’t keep putting off his decision about whether to leave Paulina and be with Lexie or stick with Paulina.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Friday, May 22nd

On Friday, May 22nd, Xander surprises Sarah. I wonder if Xander and Kristen’s new engagement will be available. Sarah absolutely hates Kristen since she kidnapped her, hid her on that island, drugged her, and really ruined her life. So Xander sleeping with Kristen is worse than him having sex with Gwen. Gabi agreed. She may be forced to tell her boyfriend, Philip, the truth. Philip tells Gabi that he is done and wants nothing more to do with her. He tells her, “Pack your things and get the hell out.”

Philip is furious with Gabi outside the Bistro. However, there is a possibility that this anger of Philip may be Gabi having a little nightmare. We will see because you know how Days of Our Lives he likes to trick us sometimes with fake promo stuff. Anna and Tony are in the square staring at the scene. So maybe the thing about Philip being mad at Gabi is real because Anna goes to Philip this week and says something shocking and Tony might sneak in.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Kayla’s 40 Years in Salem

Kayla reminisces with Steve about their decades-long romance. We’ll be getting a lot of classic scenes of their love story, including when they bring baby Stephanie home. This is Kayla’s 40th year in Salem, so it’s a big milestone for Mary Beth Evans. Steve wants to know if Kayla is ready for another trip and she says with him, yes. Gwen is caught off guard when her father Jack Deveraux shows up at the Salem Inn. He and Gwen have been doing better, but of course his wife Jennifer can’t stand Gwen.

Also, we are just a few weeks away from the fourth anniversary of Abby’s death. So maybe it has something to do with that. But Gwen is surprised and asks Jack why he is there. And she might not be happy about Gwen hooking up with Xander. And I wonder if Jack wants to rebuild his relationship with Gwen or if this might have something to do with Lexie’s return. If Jack has the idea that Gwen was working with EJ, he might also want to know if Abby might be resurrected. Stephanie checks on Alex. Their troubles seem far from over despite their best efforts.

Week of May 25-29

Then we have the week of May 25 to 29. We will have Memorial Day in Salem. We will see if there are big barbecues or fireworks or a trip to the lake. I also wonder if people are celebrating Sophia’s dead body because it needs closure. Jack may ask Gwen for help. He might want to take a peek to see if Abigail’s is inside someone since he and Chad are digging her grave and Abby’s remains aren’t there.

Chad already talked to EJ about the possibility of waking Abby up and he said it wouldn’t happen, but that might be a lie. Eli is overdue to join Lani and the twins in Salem. Ari may lose Liam because of Gabi’s plan, but if he pays her to give up his daughter and Ari finds out, it’s obvious that he’s going to lose her to Gabi.

Lexie gets a lot of visitors as her old friends can’t wait to see her back in the land of the living. I expect Marlena, Kayla, Roman, and others will all want to see him. And of course, his little brother EJ will stop by to explain exactly what he did and how happy he is that he’s back. Gabi may need some comfort from Theo. And Amy continues to demand justice from Sophia as Kristen continues to kill.
