Days of Our Lives Spoilers Week of July 13: Rachel’s Release, Baby Crisis, Holly’s Next Problem

Days of Our Lives spoilers are in for the week of July 13, 2026. We can expect more marriage problems for Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is about to face his downfall.

Meanwhile, Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) has a new problem. Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Key Takeaways

  • Stephanie’s decision to delete Joy’s urgent voicemail threatens to destroy her marriage to Alex.
  • EJ’s carefully built scheme begins to unravel as the walls close in around him.
  • Rachel is poised for release from Bayview as Kristen scrambles to keep her safe.
  • Holly’s recovery is overshadowed by another painful accusation that she relapsed.
  • Chanel grows suspicious of Johnny, while Lexie prepares for an emotional goodbye with her family.

Stephanie Johnson’s Marriage

Let’s start off by talking about Stephanie and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). Stephanie has been venting about Joy Wesley’s (AlexAnn Hopkins) emergencies regarding the baby.

Joy has been calling Alex a bit too much, even when they aren’t real emergencies and shouldn’t be Alex’s problem. At the same time, what Stephanie does next damages her marriage beyond repair.

It seems like Joy will leave an urgent voicemail for Alex only for Stephanie to delete it.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the baby has a real medical emergency. Oops. It seems Stephanie’s actions prevent Alex from getting to the hospital in time.

So, you bet that Joy is going to blame Stephanie, and perhaps even Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) as well.

Rachel Black’s Release

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of July 13 reveal that we might also see Rachel Black’s (Lorelei Olivia Mote) release from Bayview.

However, Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) has been worried about EJ targeting Rachel. That leads to Kristen turning to Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) on a protection plan.

Lani Price-Grant’s Romance

There will also be Lani Price-Grant (Sal Stowers) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey). The two will have some romantic moments. However, if Eli falls asleep again, I worry Lani might look for passion elsewhere.

Chanel Dupree DiMera’s Future

As for Chanel Dupree DiMera (Raven Bowens), she will want to get close with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) as well.

However, Johnny is also doing EJ’s dirty work regarding the arsenic.  At some point, Chanel is going to suspect Johnny is hiding something from her. 

Lexie Carver’s Fate

Over with Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford), it looks like her end is coming sooner rather than later. 

The lady still hasn’t told Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) that she’s going to die all over again. There is also Holly Jonas’ (Ashley Puzemis) future.

Even though she’s being treated for the arsenic poisoning, Holly will once again be accused of doing drugs.
