BREAKING NEWS! Alex is dying, an old enemy shows up and wants to kill him Days of our lives spoilers
Welcome back to the channel—your home for every shocking twist, emotional explosion, and pulse-pounding reveal coming out of Days of Our Lives. We’re the crew that eats, sleeps, and breathes Salem drama, and today we’re diving into one of the darkest and most adrenaline-charged storylines the show has delivered in months. Buckle up, because what’s unfolding around Alex Kiriakis is nothing short of catastrophic.
This isn’t just another recap. This is a full deep-dive into a storyline dripping with danger, betrayal, and life-or-death stakes. Alex Kiriakis—beloved, flawed, charismatic, and complicated—is hanging on by a thread. Someone is hunting him. Someone wants him dead. And worst of all? That someone may not be a mysterious stranger… but an old enemy resurfacing with a vengeance.
So let’s break this wide open. Who wants Alex dead? Why now? And what threat from his past is about to drag him into a nightmare he might not survive? Let’s unravel it all.
THE SHADOW OVER ALEX KIRIAKIS
Alex Kiriakis, played with fierce energy by Robert Scott Wilson, has always walked a dangerous tightrope. His life has never been simple—not with his Kiriakis bloodline, not with his messy romantic history, not with the long list of people he’s wronged, intentionally or not. Being Justin Kiriakis’ son comes with privilege… but it also comes with targets.
Recently, all signs have pointed to Alex being on edge—more paranoid, more protective, more aware that something is wrong. At first, it seemed like he was simply worried about Stephanie Johnson’s safety. Stephanie, who has already endured more trauma than most Salem residents, has been receiving disturbing signals: late-night calls, creepy gifts, silhouettes lurking in the distance. Naturally, Alex jumped into protector mode.
But now it’s become horrifyingly clear.
The stalker was never after Stephanie.
They were baiting Alex.
And now Alex is running out of time.
ALEX’S NEAR-DEATH ESCAPES — NOT ACCIDENTS, BUT WARNINGS
The last few episodes have made one thing obvious: someone wants Alex dead, and they’re done playing games.
Let’s break down the chilling attempts on his life so far:
1. The Sabotaged Car
Alex slid behind the wheel of his luxury sedan, ready to clear his head. But as rain hammered the windshield, the brakes gave out. The car fishtailed toward the cliff—and for a terrifying moment, viewers thought this was the end. Alex barely pulled off a miracle recovery.
That wasn’t bad luck.
That was a message.
2. The Poisoned Drink
At the Titan Industries gala, someone tried again. Alex raised his glass for a toast—then collapsed in agony as the poison tore through his system. Stephanie’s scream echoed through the room. Paramedics rushed in. Tests later revealed it wasn’t an allergy or a fluke.
Someone had chosen a toxin that kills fast… and quietly.
3. The Blood-Red Threat Letter
Delivered straight to Alex’s penthouse—no fingerprints, no clues.
Just one sentence:
“STOP DIGGING, OR DIE.”
This isn’t a prank. This is a declaration of war.
But from whom?
THE SUSPECT LIST BLOWS WIDE OPEN
Alex has made enemies—plenty of them. Some recent. Some from long-buried storylines. And some that fans never expected to see back on their screens.
Let’s break down the most likely culprits.
XANDER COOK – THE RIVAL WITH A LONG MEMORY
Xander is unreliable, unpredictable, and always two steps away from snapping. His resentment toward Alex has been simmering for months. With their shared Kiriakis ties and their competition at Titan, it wouldn’t be shocking if Xander decided eliminating Alex was the fastest route to power.
Picture him alone in his apartment, glaring at Alex’s photo, whispering:
“You stole everything that should’ve been mine.”
He’s dangerous. He’s impulsive. But is he the threat? Possibly. But maybe too obvious.
JEREMY HORTON – THE JEALOUS EX WITH A SHORT FUSE
Jeremy’s presence in Salem has already caused unease. He’s openly resentful of Alex’s relationship with Stephanie. He’s shown up in places he doesn’t belong. And he’s been caught glaring across rooms like a man ready to snap.
But even though he looks like the logical choice…
Days rarely picks the predictable suspect.
Jeremy may be guilty of jealousy, but murder? Fans aren’t convinced.
EJ DIMERA – THE MASTER OF REVENGE
If Alex crossed EJ, even unintentionally, that would be enough to put him on EJ’s radar—and no one survives that. EJ’s war with the Kiriakis family spans decades. He’s orchestrated kidnappings, manipulations, and “accidents” that were anything but.
Imagine EJ in his dimly lit office, swirling a glass of liquor, quietly ordering:
“No more warnings. Finish the job.”
He has the resources. He has the rage. And he has the motivation.
THERESA DONOVAN – THE WOMAN SCORNed
Theresa’s return to Salem has been turbulent. She has a long, messy past with Alex—and she has never taken betrayal lightly. Jealousy has driven her to extremes before, from drugging Brady to manipulating entire storylines in her favor.
Imagine Theresa in a cheap motel room, assembling something sinister with shaking hands.
Her voice trembling as she mutters:
“You should’ve stayed with me, Alex.”
If Theresa feels Alex abandoned her emotionally, she might have snapped.
LEO STARK – THE CHAOS AGENT
Leo lives for drama. He manipulates, he provokes, and he blackmails with the skill of a seasoned villain. If he believed Alex had something incriminating on him, Leo might try to silence him before the truth came out.
But is Leo violent enough for attempted murder? History says yes.
OR IS IT SOMEONE FROM ALEX’S PAST… RETURNING FOR PAYBACK?
This is where things get terrifying.
Several long-buried enemies could be resurfacing:
- A former lover Alex betrayed
- A business rival from his time before Salem
- A relative connected to the darker side of the Kiriakis empire
- A presumed-dead villain whose return would shock the fandom
Days loves a resurrection storyline—and nothing would hit harder than an old foe stepping out of the shadows, whispering:
“Miss me, Alex?”
STEPHANIE’S ROLE — LOVER, TARGET, OR HEROINE?
Stephanie is unraveling. She senses Alex is hiding the extent of the danger. She feels the walls closing in. And as she combs through clues, she becomes more convinced that the threat is about to strike again—harder.
Picture Stephanie in her PR office late at night, scanning security footage frame by frame. Suddenly, she pauses—
A blurry figure.
A familiar ring.
A chilling smile.
Her breath catches.
Her hand shakes.
She whispers:
“Oh my God… it’s them.”
But before she can warn Alex… the killer makes their next move.
THE FINAL SHOWDOWN — IS ALEX ABOUT TO DIE?
Spoilers tease a scene that will leave fans gasping:
A dark alley.
Thunder cracking overhead.
Alex bleeding, barely conscious.
A familiar voice snarling:
“You destroyed my life. Now I’m ending yours.”
Alex tries to fight back, but he’s fading fast.
Will Stephanie find him in time?
Will a last-minute hero intervene?
Or… will Alex Kiriakis become the next tragic death in Salem?
Rumors swirl that Alex may not survive this confrontation. Others say he’ll live—but lose his memory, resetting his storyline entirely. And of course, a shocking reveal may expose the killer as someone no one saw coming.
FINAL THOUGHTS — WHO IS TRYING TO KILL ALEX?
Is it:
- Theresa Donovan, unhinged by jealousy?
- EJ DiMera, furious over a business betrayal?
- Xander, wanting to reclaim Titan?
- Jeremy, spiraling into obsession?
- Or a resurrected villain from Alex’s past?
This storyline is about to explode, and we are here for every second of it.
