Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of January 19 suggest some curveballs! For one thing, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) makes an evil alliance. Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) follows up on a hot tip.

Plus, Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) plays phone games. However, Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) could get the blame. Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Leo Stark’s Evil Alliance

Let’s start off with Leo, whose happily ever after with Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) was rudely interrupted. In a surprising twist, Leo didn’t want Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) back. While Leo does still have an attraction to his ex, he knows his future is with Javi.

However, Javi is terrified of getting his heart broken. The EMT needs to be totally sure that there are no unresolved feelings between Leo and Dimitri. The last thing that Javi wants is to get hurt again.

However, Leo doesn’t know how to get rid of Dimitri. The man keeps ruining everything with Javi, especially with that big, exaggerated mouth. That leads to Leo asking Gwen to make Dimitri disappear.

Sophia Choi’s Phone Games

Sophia got Rachel to steal from Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Then, Sophia had the little girl cover for her during bed checks so she could go out and buy one.

Ari Horton (Marissa Reyes) noticed Sophia and called her name. However, Sophia just kept on walking without even hesitating. 

When Sophia got back, Brady was grilling Rachel. Even though Rachel feels guilty about lying and stealing from her father, she did celebrate with Sophia. So, the college student is likely going to use the phone to play some mind games.

Will it be with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree-DiMera (Raven Bowens)? Or with Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis)?  In any case, Rachel might get the blame for it.

Rafe Hernandez’s Hot Tip

Days of Our Lives spoilers for next week reveal that Johnny will give Rafe a hot tip. Right now, Rafe is wondering about Dimitri’s kidnapping story.

In any case, this will likely lead to Rafe following up on that tip from Johnny. Will it lead to answers, or just more questions, though?

What Else to Expect

Stephanie Johnson’s (Abigail Klein) plan should have the stalker surfacing soon. However, could Stephanie or Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) end up disappearing?
