Days of our Lives is filled with heartbreak, mystery, and drama on Friday, June 26, 2026. According to the latest spoilers, Brady and Kristen deliver terrible news, while Belle tries to solve a puzzle.
Rachel’s Devastation
Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Kristen (Stacy Haikduk) have the unenviable task of telling Rachel (Lorelei Mote) that her friend has died. Despite Sophia (Rachel Boyd) using Rachel to do her dirty work, Rachel had grown attached to the teen and thought of her as a real friend. With all Rachel has been through, this will be devastating news.
The doctors thought that Rachel was well enough to hear this, but were they correct or will learning about Sophia set Rachel back? Considering that Kristen is the one responsible for what happened to Sophia, her reaction could cause Kristen to start imagining the zombie version of the girl for a bit.
Brady remains completely oblivious to what really happened to Sophia and just wants his daughter to get better. However, should Kristen and Brady be visiting her together, since they will invariably argue right in front of her, making things worse?
It’s going to be an emotional time at Bayview as Kristen and Brady try to navigate things with their troubled daughter.
Unsolved Mysteries
While Brady deals with his daughter, his sister Belle (Martha Madison) deals with the chess set mystery. Belle and Chad (Conner Floyd) dig a little deeper after finding that Italian lira in the chess board’s secret compartment. They know that Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) is trying to tell them something, but they have no idea what.
Chad also now knows that the board is similar to one that Theo used to play with when he was younger. Does the familiarity have anything to do with this particular set and why Stefano left it for John (Drake Hogestyn) and Marlena (Deidre Hall)?
Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) is also trying to solve a mystery, so she asks Xander (Paul Telfer) if there is any more word on the DiMera Pharmaceutical records. Since EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) is so worried someone will find them, he tries to trip up Xander and put him on the spot. Does he mention Kristen in front of Sarah and her trysts with Xander at the Salem Inn?
Have we seen the last of Sophia? Is it time for Rachel to come home? Let us know what you think in the comments.
