Days Of Our Lives Spoilers Thursday, October 1: Public Accusation, New Theory, Dangerous RiskDays of Our Lives spoilers are in for Thursday, October 1, 2026. In tomorrow’s episode, we will see Melinda Trask (Tina Huang) publicly accuse Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey).

Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) has a new theory. Plus, Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) takes a dangerous risk. Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

5 Key Takeaways

  • Melinda publicly accuses Sarah of wrongful death
  • Brady promises to keep Marlena’s secret
  • Steve brings a new theory to Belle
  • Philip makes a confession to Maggie
  • Joy takes a dangerous risk to fake her paralysis

Public Accusation

Let’s start off this post by talking about Sarah. The doctor got a heads-up that Melinda was going to hold a press conference.  During this televised appearance, Melinda will publicly accuse Sarah of wrongful death.

Apparently, Destiny Rowland’s (Sarah Bartholomew) parents have asked Melinda to sue. However, we also know that someone edited Destiny’s testing records, and it wasn’t Sarah. 

Brady Black’s Promise

Over with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), she’s freaking out over the birth certificate shocker. The lady cannot even begin to process that she had a child with Stefano DiMera (last played by Joseph Mascolo). 

Steve promised to keep Marlena’s secret with the condition that they let Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) in on the news. Of course, Brady promises to keep quiet about this.

New Theory

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Thursday, October 1 reveal that Steve will develop a new theory. The man will bring this theory to Belle Black (Martha Madison).

However, as they continue digging, there could be an unexpected twist. As far as Belle’s switch goes, I think I like her much better as an investigator rather than a lawyer! 

Confession Time

As for Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier), he will make a confession to Maggie Horton Kiriakis (Suzanne Rogers). The redhead already found out about how Philip got all that money.

However, he might admit that he’s going to help Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) with an undercover operation.

When Maggie finds out the operation has to do with gambling, she will worry and rightly so. Just because Philip was able to stop himself in Monte Carlo doesn’t mean it will happen again.

The next time, Philip could lose himself just like he did all those years ago.

Dangerous Risk

Finally, we have Joy, who is still in the hospital. The lady is faking paralysis to keep Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) away from Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein).

Joy was going to take muscle relaxers but the appointment was moved up. So, she will take a dangerous risk.

Could the lady get into the hospital’s medical cabinet and take a dangerous drug? Will Joy end up putting her life in danger?

Which storyline are you looking forward to the most on Wednesday, September 30, 2026? Keep watching the soap to find out what happens next.
