Days of Our Lives spoilers are in for the week of August 24, 2026. Expect Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) to reconnect.

Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) has a gift for Belle Black (Martha Madison). Plus, Ari Horton (Vico Escorcia) just happens to overhear telling information. Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Key Takeaways

• Jack returns and reconnects with Gwen.
• Ari overhears telling information.
• Belle receives a special keepsake.
• Johnny and Chanel name their baby girl.
• EJ confronts Dr. Rolf.

Jack Deveraux Returns

First up, Jack will return to Salem, where he will reconnect with Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien). Gwen didn’t believe JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) when he said the family was relieved she was safe. So, it sounds like Jack will come in person to prove JJ words are true.

In addition to Jack coming back to town, two children have been recast. Thomas DiMera is now being portrayed by Cole Gersmeyer. Meanwhile, Pippa Blaylock is playing Charlotte DiMera.

Baby Girl DiMera

At University Hospital in Salem, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens) will welcome their new addition. Expect the couple to also give their new daughter a very special name.

Even though the DiMera and Carver families are welcoming a new life, they are also saying goodbye to Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford). Meanwhile, expect EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) to face Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton).

Romantic Dates

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of August 24 reveal that Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) will set up a romantic night for Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu).

Conflict & Division

Meanwhile, Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) reaches out to Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews).

However, on that same day, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) drops the baby off with Bonnie Lockhart Kiriakis (Judi Evans), wanting alone time with Stephanie. So, what exactly will Alex walk in on?

What Else to Expect

As for the rest of the week, Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) is questioned by Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes).

Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) has some relationship advice for Javi Hernandez (Jacob Martinez).

Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) trips into EJ. Elsewhere, Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) pressures Johnny to be honest with Chanel. 

Ari ends up overhearing a conversation. She also is cornered by Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow), who wants a favor. Jack and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) get caught up. 

Finally, Marlena has a special gift for Belle. There should also be some chessboard mystery developments. I wonder if the keepsake is connected to the chess mystery, which concerns me a bit. In any case, stay tuned!
