Romance, confrontations, and more in Monday’s episode of Days of Our Lives.

Here’s what’s coming up on Days of Our Lives for Monday, January 26, 2026. From a confrontation to romance, you can’t afford to miss it. Fans can expect Kristen to put Sarah on notice while EJ rips into Gwen. Soap Opera News has the scoop!

EJ Layss into Gwen

EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) has been out of town, but he’s still on a mission. He wastes no time getting into it with his partner in crime, Gwen (Emily O’Brien), when we next hear from him.

Gwen knows how EJ operates. He does not take kindly to being double-crossed or left out when they are supposed to be working together.

That’s exactly where things start to go wrong. Gwen appears to overstep, and that puts her squarely in EJ’s line of fire. When EJ feels betrayed, the fallout is never small. Gwen may be about to face his full wrath for whatever reason.

Cat and Rafe Compare Notes in Secret

Meanwhile, Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) and Rafe (Galen Gering) continue working quietly behind the scenes. The two have been meeting in secret, comparing notes and conferring on their respective cases. There’s trust there, but also plenty of unanswered questions.

Have either of them made real progress? That part is still unclear. For now, they keep digging, hoping the pieces will finally fall into place.

Johnny and Chanel Make Time for Romance

Elsewhere, Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) have plenty to celebrate. They recently christened their little one, and another baby is already on the way. Even so, they decide it’s time to slow things down and enjoy some much-needed romance.

After a recent rough patch, reconnecting feels important. Sometimes a little love and laughter can go a long way.

Kristen Puts Sarah on Notice

Days spoilers for January 26 also tease trouble brewing between Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). Kristen makes it clear she has something to say, and it’s unlikely to be friendly.

With Sarah growing closer to Brady (Eric Martsolf), that puts her firmly in Rachel’s (Alice Halsey) world. Kristen is not shy about reminding people where they stand, and she may be about to make sure Sarah knows her place. This one has tension written all over it.
