Days Of Our Lives Spoilers Thursday, September 3: Special Dance, Rachel’s Gift, Marlena’s MemoryDays of Our Lives spoilers are in for Thursday, September 3, 2026. In tomorrow’s episode, we will see Salem host a daddy-daughter dance.

Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) gets a gift from her mother. Plus, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) has a mysterious memory. Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Key Takeaways

  • Rachel receives an unexpected gift from Kristen before the daddy-daughter dance.
  • EJ surprises Belle and Chad, complicating their trip to Italy.
  • Marlena is shaken by a mysterious memory that could be connected to Stefano, John and the chess set mystery.

Special Dance

Let’s start off with the daddy-daughter dance. There has been lots of talk about it. Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) is one proud father.

So, expect Xander to take Victoria Kiriakis (Angelica Nero). There is also Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), who will be taking Rachel to the dance as well. 

Unexpected Gift

Over with Rachel, she will be looking forward to the dance with her father. However, Rachel won’t be able to wonder about her mother. It seems Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) manages to send a special gift to her daughter. 

However, I wonder if Rachel is going to have to admit where this gift came from. If Kristen wears the Susan Banks (Stacy Haiduk) disguise again, she could get busted! Kristen doesn’t handle those false teeth very well!

EJ DiMera’s Surprise

Days of Our Lives spoilers for Thursday, September 3 reveal that EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) will have a bit of a surprise for Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd).

It seems that Belle and Chad will get a surprise on their way to Italy. EJ shows up, but it’s not clear if he arrives in Italy on his own, or if he crashes the jet. 

In any case, Belle and Chad’s romantic investigation will suddenly get crowded. I also wonder if Belle could have a hard time with her former feelings for EJ. Fans know how hard it was for Belle to stay away from him.

Marlena Evans’ Memory

Finally, we have Marlena, who will get a surprise of her own. The lady will be boggled by a mysterious memory.

Considering that Belle is on her way to Italy to investigate the chess set clues, could the memory have something to do with Stefano DiMera (last played by Joseph Mascolo)?

I’m starting to wonder if Marlena will somehow feel pulled to go to Italy as well. After all, the chess set mystery centers on Marlena’s history with Stefano and John Black (Drake Hogestyn). It just doesn’t seem proper with Marlena still in Salem, so stay tuned!
