Days of Our Lives Spoilers Week of Aug 3: Joy’s Crisis, Gwen’s Desperation, Lexie & Kristen’s Fates

Days of Our Lives spoilers are in for the week of August 3, 2026. We can expect Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) to face yet another crisis.

Meanwhile, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) make a desperate move. Plus, what are the fates of Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford) and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk)? Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Key Takeaways

  • Joy is blindsided by heartbreaking news as Alex steps in to help.
  • Leo and Gwen make a desperate move to survive in Alamania.
  • Lexie’s shocking collapse leaves Kristen’s fate hanging in the balance.
  • Holly uncovers the truth while Brady and Steve hit another dead end.
  • Chad and Belle delay their Italy plans as new crises erupt across Salem.

Joy Wesley’s Crisis

Let’s kick off this post with Joy, who will have another crisis. It sounds like it’s not a flat tire or anything to do with the baby. This time, Joy gets devastating news.

Of course, Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) jumps in to support her. So, it must be something truly heartbreaking. Maybe a death in the family? I’m actually surprised Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin) hasn’t returned yet.

Double Danger

Over at the airfield, Lexie showed up as promised, but was already pretty weak. Lexie went to get Kristen free out of the shipping container.

Then, Lexie collapsed. Someone is bound to see Lexie lying on the ground. So, what is going to happen to Lexie as well as Kristen? 

It sounds like Lexie vanishes anyway. On Wednesday, Lexie says goodbye. Yes, the spoiler states it exactly like that, so we aren’t sure if this is to Salem, Kristen, or if it is meant in another way. 

Leo Stark’s Rescue Mission

Days of Our Lives spoilers for the week of August 3 reveal that Leo is on his way to save Gwen. The young man gets to Alamania and does find Gwen. However, the two will be in grave danger. The two end up making a desperate move. 

What Else to Expect

As for the rest of the week, Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) and Belle Black (Martha Madison) press pause on their Italian plans. Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) turns to Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) for advice. 

Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) opens up to Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein). I actually like this unexpected friendship. 

As for Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis), she finally discovers the truth! However, Brady and Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) will hit another dead end. Plus, Kristen manages to secretly visit Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote). 

As for Stephanie, she turns to Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) for guidance. It sounds like the situation with Joy isn’t going to get any better, so stay tuned!
