Days of Our Lives early edition spoilers for next week show that Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is on a rampage, and Andrew Donovan (Colton Little) delivers terrible news.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Xander Cook and Philip Kiriakis’ Devious Plan for DiMera Enterprises

Let’s first talk about the rest of this week before we dig into next week’s early spoilers. So, on Wednesday, March 12th, we’ve got Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) talking to her mama Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers), and she is worried.

I wonder if it is about the big devious plan that Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) are cooking up to take over DiMera Enterprises. She probably thinks the brothers are going overboard.

Sarah tried to get Philip to dial it back, and he just wants to be Xander’s brother. Plus, they’re actually getting along. You know, so maybe she should just let it go and see what happens. But Xander and Philip are busy discussing their DiMera plans on Wednesday.

They’ve got Wei Shen on the hook, and I wonder if he was able to convince some others on the DiMera board that they should all buy into this Titan takeover. It looks very promising on Days of our Lives.

Chad DiMera & Cat Greene’s Budding Romance and Billy Flynn’s Departure from DOOL

Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) are getting closer, and we’ll have to see just how close, just how soon. And by the way, if you have not heard, Billy Flynn has left Days of Our Lives – he walked away.

He got himself a brand new role over on CBS daytime on The Young and the Restless. However, because Days of our Lives is now filming about nine months ahead, we’re still going to see Chad in Salem through January 2026.

This is not a good sign for Chabby fans. Unless, of course, they write Chad out. And they say Chad and Abby Deveraux move to Paris or something.

Pregnancy Tests, Ominous Announcements, and Stephanie’s Warning on Days of our Lives

Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) makes a suggestion to Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) on Wednesday. And Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) gets her pregnancy test results. Is she expecting or not? Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) warns Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson).

By the way, Joy may be pregnant, and he is completely gobsmacked. And then later on Wednesday, Joy catches up to Alex and Stephanie with an announcement. I mean, she’s got to be pregnant, right?

Why would you announce that you’re not pregnant? As it turns out, Joy said she’s not pregnant on Days of our Lives. But she really is and I guess that’s because she knows Alex doesn’t want her.

Marlena Evans and Steve Johnson’s Quest for Answers & Johnny DiMera Confrontats Daddy EJ on Days

Thursday, March 13th, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) is absolutely determined to get the answers that she needs. She wants to know what happened to her beloved John Black (Drake Hogestyn).

So on Days of our Lives, Marlena and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) pack up and leave town. Looks like they are going to go up to DC. They’re going to confront Shane Donovan (Charles Shaughnessy).

And Marlena is vowing to hunt down John. She’ll find him herself if she must. And she tells Belle Black (Martha Madison) about her plans. Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) issues an apology to Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens). But the question is about what?

Will she also share the Belle and EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) news with her? That would be kind of interesting. And Johnny DiMera gets confrontational with his dad, EJ, on Thursday of this week on Days of our Lives.

So, I wonder if Johnny’s been hearing more Arnold accusations from Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) or Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). Or it could be Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) who blabs. Or, it could be any of the other people in town that know what he’s been up to.

EJ Confesses, Belle Seduces & Doug 3 Plot on Days of our Lives

On Friday, March 14th, EJ confesses something to Belle. She wants to save her job after the whole Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) thing. After Gabi came up and said, oh, by the way, Belle’s sleeping with EJ.

Of course, Belle doesn’t like Gabi’s accusations that she’s letting EJ slide on this Arnold-Rafe thing. Gabi said it’s because they’re in bed together. But, EJ’s not going to confess anything juicy or illegal that would help Belle make a case against him.

And guess what? Despite Belle insisting that this thing between her and EJ is over, she is right back in his bed by the end of this week. So, maybe Belle’s going to try and sex a confession out of him on Days of our Lives.

But I can’t imagine that’s admissible in court. Meanwhile, Doug Williams 3 (Peyton Meyer) is plotting with Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) on how to force Melinda Trask (Tina Huang)’s hand. They want to get back Julie Williams’ (Susan Seaforth Hayes) necklace.

Roman & Kate Expose EJ’s Past to Johnny on DOOL

Johnny talks to his grandpa Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), who tells him EJ is not who he thinks at all. Roman flat-out tells Johnny that EJ’s a rapist when he tries to defend his dad as being not as bad as Arnold.

And when Johnny is thunderstruck and kind of doubtful of Roman’s accusation, he gets unshakable confirmation. Because, Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) is right there, and she backs up Roman.

On Days of our Lives, Kate tells Johnny, yes, EJ is a rapist. And she says his mom, Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney), was his victim. So, count down to Johnny punching EJ right in his smug, handsome, dimpled face. Did I say handsome? He’s so handsome.

Sophia, Tate, and the Obstacles to Adoption

Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) and Tate Black (Leo Howard) are trying hard to remain optimistic. That’seven though Amy is an obstacle to their planned adoption. Plus, Theresa Donovan (Emily O’Brien) may also prove problematic now that she’s back.

There’s not a pot that that woman will not stir, and I expect it to start soon.

Days of Our Lives Week Ahead Spoilers March 17-21: Stolen Necklace Stress & Dire News About John’s Fate

The week of March 17th through the 21st on Days of our Lives, Melinda’s stubborn refusal to give up the stolen necklace is a huge source of stress. Doug 3 and Holly are worried. Plus, there’s still a chance Tate could tell somebody that Doug stole from Julie.

So, Holly is more eager than ever to try and solve this problem. She really wants to help Doug  3 out of this jam. Also, Andrew Donovan is rumored to give Steve some really dire news about John’s fate on Days of our Lives.

Andrew may reveal why John went missing. This may be just a terrible status update on this ISA mission from Andrew.  So, Andrew’s news may be that the ISA suspects John may be dead. But is Andrew giving out info that Shane doesn’t want released?

And there may be another twist ahead. Something like — oh, it looks really dire. Then, it looks more hopeful. Then, it pivots to confirm that it’s dire. That’s the way I’ve heard it’s going to go.

Marlena and Steve are also going to face off with Shane. Who is of course the ISA director. They demand a clear answer on what happened to John while he was out on this mission on Days of our Lives next week.

Jada’s Guilt, EJ’s Amnesia Serum, and Johnny’s Brutal Assault on DOOL

Jada continues to hang on to her guilt about sleeping with Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer). But she knows she needs to come clean to Rafe. She just is trying to work up the courage. So, Jada persists in helping Rafe recover his memories.

And we’ll see if EJ’s plan to wipe out Rachel Blake’s (Roslyn Gentle) memories with that amnesia serum works out. Even if Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) or Rachel herself don’t stop EJ, I’m not sure how that serum works on a crazy brain.

And the mess with Joy, Stephanie, and Alex is not quite over yet. And it may not be over for, you know, eight to nine more months. And EJ is absolutely stunned by Johnny DiMera’s brutal assault. He attacks his dad, but, you know, can he really blame Johnny?

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Who Shot EJ? Gabi Emerges as Top Suspect

And this next week on Days of our Lives, there’s lots of action coming that sets up EJ’s shooting. And there are several threats against him that line up the suspects. They’ll be part of this whodunit.

And Gabi has pulled out into the lead. She’ll be at the top of the list. I don’t think she will shoot him. But I think she will be the top suspect because she’s threatened him with a gun. There’s lots of witnesses when she did it. And she did it more than once.

Plus, Gabi made a very dire death threat in front of both Paulina and Belle. And once EJ is shot, I’m sure Belle is going to want to bring the shooter to justice. So, Gabi may be on her list. Rafe may be on that list, and Johnny DiMera as well.

Be sure to come back for more Days of our Lives spoilers and news.
