Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, October 21, 2026, bring trouble for Dante Vitalli (Franco LoPresti), more close calls for Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins), and a possible change of heart for Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) isn’t about to let Sami’s (Alison Sweeney) new fiancé walk into her life without a warning, while Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) has an offer for Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). Meanwhile, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) gets a small glimmer of hope.
EJ Warns Dante Not to Hurt Sami
EJ DiMera and Dante Vitalli recently crossed paths when Dante unexpectedly turned up in Salem and made his way to the DiMera mansion. Coming home to find the man his ex-wife is preparing to marry—and the man who will soon be stepping up as a stepfather to his children—was certainly a moment EJ won’t forget anytime soon!
Having spent years married to and in love with Sami, EJ knows better than anyone the wild roller-coaster ride that comes with loving a woman like her. Despite their messy past, EJ still cares for Sami deeply.
The years, memories, and bond they share as parents to their children will never fade, and that alone gives him every reason to keep a protective eye on her. According to Days of Our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, October 21, EJ pulls Dante aside to issue a stern warning: do not hurt Sami! Will Dante take EJ’s warning to heart, or will he tell the DiMera patriarch to mind his own business?
Joy Narrowly Escapes Getting Caught, Plus Philip’s Offer to Stephanie
Meanwhile, Joy is playing a very dangerous game with her elaborate scheme in Salem. If she isn’t careful, her web of lies is going to come crashing down around her!
Stephanie already almost caught her red-handed, and even though Joy managed to wriggle out of it, the little bit Stephanie did witness has her entire radar on high alert. Now, after barely dodging a bullet with Stephanie, Joy finds herself in a tight spot again as she narrowly avoids getting caught by Alex (Robert Scott Wilson)! How much longer can Joy possibly keep up this paralyzed act before someone finally catches her in the act?
Speaking of Stephanie, look for Philip to approach her with a brand-new proposal. What kind of offer does Philip have up his sleeve, and will Stephanie be willing to hear him out?
Brady Gives Kristen a Glimmer of Hope!
Over on the Brady and Kristen front, Days of Our Lives spoilers tease that Brady gives Kristen a small glimmer of hope. Is this regarding their daughter?
Ever since Brady discovered that Kristen used Sophia (Rachel Boyd) in a plot that nearly got her own nephew, Johnny (Carson Boatman), killed, he has been looking at her in a completely different light.
Brady knows Kristen has always crossed boundaries and gone to extreme lengths to get what she wants, but targetting her own family was a line far too deep for him to overlook. His immediate reaction was to cut off her access to Rachel (Lorelei Olivia Mote) entirely.
Is Brady finally starting to soften his stance, or is this glimmer of hope just a temporary truce for Rachel’s sake? Let us know what you think in the comments!
