By Amandah HancenOn Jan 9, 2026

Days of Our Lives spoilers are in for Monday, January 12, 2026. In the next episode, fans can expect Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) to have a controversial idea.

Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers) confronts Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer). Plus, Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) shocks Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart).

Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera. (Make sure to check out our WEEKLY DOOL spoilers, here!)

Dimitri von Leuschner’s Shocker

Let’s start with Dimitri, who got an unexpected visitor as Gwen Rizczech von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien) was going out the door. Gwen had a little snarky comment when Leo walked in.

Even though Leo doesn’t want Dimitri back, there was a kiss anyway! Dimitri certainly doesn’t listen very well. The man was told that there is no future for them.

Instead of respecting that, Dimitri kissed him. So, what is Leo going to do now?

Stephanie Johnson’s Idea

Fans know that Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) interfered in Stephanie’s business again. The young man should know by now never to do anything on her behalf unless she’s okay with it first.

While Stephanie understands Alex’s concern, she still wants to go on the book tour. The woman will offer up a suggestion.

However, both Alex and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) will reel over it. I wonder if Stephanie will go with Xander’s idea about getting extra security.

Maggie Horton Kiriakis’ Confrontation

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the next episode reveal that Xander has just fired Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Even though I love Xander, Brady is right.

The man is just attacking Brady for getting close to Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). It was a crushing blow to see those finalized divorce papers, but Brady shouldn’t have been fired.

Maggie will confront Xander once again. While Xander might claim the business is in trouble, that won’t be a good enough reason for Maggie.

Sarah Horton’s Comfort

As for Brady, he will go back home and see Sarah. Brady will tell her about what happened when he showed up in Xander’s office. Sarah will be furious and could confront Xander herself.

The woman will want to make it perfectly clear that Xander is being childish. This certainly doesn’t help Xander score any points with Sarah or the baby, for that matter.

Brady and Sarah already shared some steamy scenes for New Year’s Eve. When Sarah tries to comfort Brady, could passion follow?
