‘Days Of Our Lives’ Spoilers Friday, August 14: Heartbreaking Discovery, EJ’s Elimination Scheme, Chanel’s In Shock

Days of Our Lives spoilers are in for Friday, August 14, 2026. We can expect the next episode to include a heartbreaking discovery.

Meanwhile, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) plans an elimination scheme. Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Key Takeaways

• Theo and Chad discover Lexie in the DiMera tunnels.
• Still, before that, Rita tries to stop Theo before he finds his dying mother … but Chad will intercept.
• Johnny struggles with the secrets he’s keeping, as Chanel goes into labour.
• EJ schemes to eliminate a threat.

Heartbreaking Discovery

Let’s start with Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews). Fans know that Theo went to vent to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) about Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford).

Marlena couldn’t allow Theo to continue spiraling without knowing the truth. So, now Theo knows Lexie is dying all over again.

Marlena also pointed Theo in the direction of DiMera. So, Theo and Chad will likely find Lexie. 

Rita Lesley’s Face-Off

Theo still has the code to the tunnels, but he will face a complication. Apparently, Rita Lesley (Maggie Carley) will encounter Theo and try to stop him.

Rita is a huge fan of EJ’s and will do whatever is necessary to protect him. At the same time, it was clear to see that Rita has a lot of love for Lexie.

So, I wonder if Theo will convince Rita that hiding Lexie is the wrong thing to do?

Chad DiMera’s Shock

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Friday, August 14 reveal that Chad will end up intercepting.

It sounds like Chad will join Theo as they head down to investigate the tunnels. Of course, they will find Lexie, but I’m sure she will justify her decision.

Johnny DiMera’s Secret

As for Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), he is furious with his father’s actions. At the same time, he wants to protect him.

At some point, Johnny might have to make a difficult choice about the secrets he’s keeping. 

Difficult Delivery

As for what else to expect, it’s about time for Chanel to go into labor. However, I wonder if her delivery could have some difficulties.

Chanel has really been through the wringer with the chemotherapy. While the doctors say the benefits outweigh the risks, I’m not sure how they believe that.

So, a soda is bad, but chemo is safe? Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me, but moving on.

What Else to Expect

Finally, we also have EJ, who is determined to get rid of yet another arsenic/Coriseal problem.

That could lead to some complications for John Oliver’s character, as EJ is determined to keep his secrets, so stay tuned!

Plus, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) gets some shocking news. What could this be about?

Which storyline are you looking forward to seeing the most during the week of August 17, 2026?
