Early Days of Our Lives spoilers January 19-23: Brady issues explosive ultimatum—Dimitri is brutally framed!

the days we live in Early weekly spoilers for January 19-23 predict Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) will deliver an ultimatum and Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera (Peter Porter) will be framed.

We start by talking about what’s going to happen for the rest of the week, and then we’ll talk about what’s going to happen next week. We’ve also got some big casting news for you, which we’ll be breaking in a minute.

Spoilers for Wednesday: Gabi Hernandez’s kiss and Gwen Rizchic’s plot against Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera

On Wednesday, January 14, Chad DiMera (played by Billy Flynn) is listening to Leo Stark (played by Greg Rikart). He acts as a sounding board for some suggestions. Apparently, Leo wanted Gabby Hernandez (now Cherie Jimenez) back, but now Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera has kissed him. This is interesting because Leo also just had some “bro bonding” therapy with Xander Cook (Paul Telfer). I wonder if Leo is hungover when he talks to Chad.

Chad may have encouraged Leo to tell Gabby about the kiss, but little did they know, Dimitri had already done so. Meanwhile, Holly Jonas (Ashley Przemis) invites her best friend Arianna to join a sorority. We know Holly will soon turn blonder, become snarlier, and start to resent her boyfriend and her best friend. Will Holly become a Stepford sorority sister?

Gwen Rizchic (Emily O’Brien) confronts Kristen DiMera (Stacey Haiduk) about the details that might be needed to make Dimitri look like a basement kidnapper. She wants to lock him up so she can keep all the money. I bet Kristen wouldn’t hesitate to help Gwen take down Dimitri.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Sofia Gets Help

Additionally, Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) enlists Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater) to help her escape. She will pretend to be Sophia while checking beds. Rachel has helped Sofia steal a bunch of cash from her father Brady Black’s wallet. Sophia claims she needs a new phone, but she might want to use the money for something else. We’ll see if she gets caught this week as other spoilers reveal.

Finally, Brady talks about Base Black with Tate Black (now Leo Howard). Brady could just be reminiscing about John Black’s (Drake Hogestyn) legacy, or he could ask Tate to consider an internship with the Titans in order to work on Basic Black and keep John Black’s company alive. Even if Xander objects, Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) may push for this.

Thursday Drama: Sarah Horton slams Xander Cooke and Brady Black’s Ultimatum

On Thursday, January 15, Sophia Choi was spotted sneaking around Horton Plaza wearing a black hoodie. Maybe she wanted to buy a cell phone, or maybe she was up to something more shady because Arianna saw her. Here’s a friend who is said to be catatonic, but she’s walking around when she should be locked up in Bayview. I wonder if Sophia will attack her, or pretend to be lost. She is very good at lying on her feet.

Maggie Horton Kiriakis ranted to Julie Williams (Susan Seavers Hayes) this week, most likely about Sander’s firing of Brady Black. I also wonder if Maggie will tell Julie that she senses a romance blossoming between Sarah Horton (Lindsay Godfrey) and Brady. Plus, Jeremy Horton (Trevor Donovan) has some advice for Rachel Black. I wonder if Jeremy will go to Bayview to tutor Rachel or drop off his homework. Jeremy, knowing the consequences of being a troublemaker, might advise Rachel to keep her integrity.

Sarah slams her ex-husband Sander Cook. I’m sure she doesn’t think he has the authority to fire Brady. I hope Xander can justify this as a business decision, but I doubt Sarah will accept it.

Brady opens up to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). I think he would tell her what the Bayview therapist said: He had to make both Rachel and Kristen DiMera understand that he would never be with Kristen again.

Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) is congratulated by her best friend Jada Hunter (Elijah Cantu). I wonder if Stephanie will ask Jada to be her maid of honor. Stephanie will also update Jada on stalker situations and dark web threats. Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) want to report the matter to the police, so Jada is the best person to talk to, although she’ll likely turn the case over to Sean Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer).

Spoilers for Friday: Lab break-in and Leo Stark’s revenge

On Friday, January 16, Cat Green (Annalyn McCord) tried to break into somewhere, possibly a lab. Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gerin) is supposed to travel to Alamania to ask Vivian Alamain (Louis Sorel) about the CCTV footage from the basement. Love tells Carter Green that she should try to get into the lab while her boss, E.J. DiMera (Dan Ferrigal), is out of Italy City. It would be interesting if she went in and found out her brother worked there.

Gabby Hernandez got some disturbing news. I wonder if Leo Stark admitted that Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera kissed him and that he felt something. Unless, of course, the bad news is that Sofia Choi stole baby Trey. I predict this is coming.

Gwen Rizczech received her third degree from Leo this weekend. It looks like Dimitri has told Leo that he’s pretty sure Gwen kidnapped him. Leo doesn’t care that she kidnapped Dimitri; in fact, he wants Gwen to do the same thing again. Leo tells Gwen, “Please make Dimitri disappear forever.” He wants to be happily ever after with Gabi and knows Dimitri will be an ongoing problem.

Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) has a heart-to-heart with Theo Carver. She might tell him about her frustration with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) over this high-risk pregnancy. They may also discuss whether Theo Carver plans to return to DiMera as CEO. Abe Carver (James Reynolds) wants Theo Carver to leave the DiMeras, but the winter promo shows Theo Carver siding with them. Plus, Johnny offers some advice to Rafe Hernandez that might help with the trip to Alamannia.

‘Days of Our Lives’ casting shock: Four main actors fired

Before I get into next week’s action, I have some big news. Four actors were fired. Four actors returned from Christmas break to find themselves fired the days we live in.

It involved two couples: Johnny DiMera, Chanel Dupree, Tate Black and Holly Jonas were all written off the show. Since they film nine to ten months in advance, we won’t see these exits until October or November 2026. We don’t have a firm exit date yet, but check back tomorrow for a full video on these firings.

Early spoilers for January 19-23: Stalker’s trap and shocking shooting

The week of January 19-23, Brady Black is trying to figure out what happens next. Will he work as a bartender, do volunteer work, or spend more time with Rachel Black in Bay View?

Liam may be hiding a dark secret. I think Sarah Horton will follow up on how the wound on his hand happened because it looks very suspicious.

Stephanie Johnson, Alex Kiriakis and Steve Johnson prepare to set a trap for her stalker. However, we know their plan isn’t going to go smoothly. Stephanie will be kidnapped from the hospital when Alex and Steve aren’t there to watch. Plus, Sean Douglas Brady will finally take the shot, and the foundation for all of that is being established now.

Christian DiMera may help Gwen Rizczech take out Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera in exchange for dirt against EJ DiMera. Gwen is considering framing him for kidnapping, but they could always hand him over to Rafe Hernandez.

Brady will most likely start by making it clear to Kristen that he won’t be with her anymore and ask her to help convince Rachel, but I don’t know if Kristen will be in the game. Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Chad DiMera’s dinner date is coming up, and EJ is coming back from Italy to see how badly Gwen screwed up in his absence. I wonder if he stopped by Alamania himself to look for information on Peter Blake’s (Jason Brooks) possible accomplices.
