Days of our Lives spoilers for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, tease a big day for Brady and his son, as the two manipulative women in their lives get to work.
What to expect on Days of our Lives
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Sophia (Rachel Boyd) are now teamed up to wreak havoc on those who wronged them, or at least those whom they perceive to have wronged them. For Kristen, it’s EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel), but she isn’t too happy with Brady (Eric Martsolf) right now at the moment.
In fact, Brady and Kristen clash about how to handle Rachel. Brady needs Kristen to calm down and not worry their daughter anymore, but Kristen is a wreck as she worries about Rachel being back in Bayview. The parents go head-to-head, which won’t bode well for Rachel if she gets wind of them fighting.
Meanwhile, Sophia is ready to get her revenge on Holly (Ashley Puzemis), but she might find that it is easier said than done. Tate (Leo Howard) and Holly have their own plans, with Tate playing a trick on Sophia that she may easily fall for. Tate is not about to allow Sophia to get away with what she’s done.
As for Holly, she does her best to make amends with Ariana, but Ari is hurt by the way Holly treated her, so she might not be as forgiving as Holly had hoped. Can this friendship be saved?
Stephanie’s fears come to light
After telling Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) that she wanted a gun and to learn how to use it, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) realizes that she may need more help than she thought, so she talks to Marlena (Deidre Hall) about her ordeal with Owen Kent (Wes Ramsey).
Stephanie seems to have some sort of understandable PTSD and is not sure how to handle her feelings. Marlena suggests that she confide in Alex. All he knows now is that Stephanie is determined to stay safe, but he does not know about her deep emotional fears. She can’t even handle Alex touching her, but Stephanie doesn’t want to insult him, so she won’t tell him. Can Marlena get Stephanie to understand that being open about one’s feelings can help?
