Rachel Black Shaken

Let’s start off with Rachel, who is supposed to be getting released from Bayview. Although this is what Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) has wanted since the beginning, things are different now.

For one thing, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) keeps making it clear to Kristen that he can get to Rachel anytime, anywhere. 

It’s not like Kristen can say what she did to make EJ target Rachel. However, Marlena knows that Kristen is really panicked.

Then, Kristen made Marlena promise to look after Rachel if anything happened to her. So, this is making Marlena wonder what kind of trouble Kristen has gotten herself into.

Lexie Carver’s Bombshell

Over with Lexie, she will drop a bombshell on Kristen. Could Lexie inform Kristen about the conversation she overheard between EJ and Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) talking about Kristen.

Lexie was awake and heard the latter part of the chat, although she quickly covered when EJ noticed. 

Next, we will see Lexie drop a bombshell on Kristen. Could Lexie decide to take matters into her own hands and share some powerful intel with her sister?

Holly Jonas’ Temptation

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Thursday, July 16 reveal that Holly will struggle under mounting pressure. Holly has been a victim but thanks to EJ’s tampering, people are starting to think that the girl is taking drugs again.

This happens a lot in addiction, where a recently sober person will keep getting accused of being high. It can really push someone to relapse for real, especially if they aren’t believed. So, how much more will Holly be able to take?

Sarah Horton’s Frustration

Holly already kicked Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) out of her hospital room. While Sarah wants to believe Holly, the evidence suggests otherwise. So, Sarah will vent to Brady Black (Eric Martsolf).

Brady might be able to offer some advice as he’s a recovered addict, just like Holly. 

Cat Greene’s New Perspective

As for Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord), she sees EJ in a new light.

Which storyline are you looking forward to seeing the most on Thursday, July 16, 2026?
