Days of our Lives spoilers for the week of February 2-6, 2026 tease a big goodbye and a master plan.

Salem Says Goodbye To Stefano

Stefano’s (the late Joe Mascolo) death has been hanging over The DiMeras for years, unsure whether he was truly gone or if The Phoenix would rise again. But now that the mysterious bones in the crypt have been identified as the DiMera patriarch’s, it’s time his family says a final goodbye.

While many in Salem would love to dance on Stefano’s grave, others are mourning this newfound truth about Salem’s ultimate villain. Friday will bring his memorial, which will be felt across Salem by both Stefano’s loved ones, and his enemies.

As if that’s not enough DiMera drama for one week, Monday will bring more clashing between Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) over Rachel (Alice Halsey), while Susan (Stacy Haiduk) is forced to admit she was wrong about Stefano being alive.

Vivian’s Not-So-True Story

Over in Alamannia, Rafe (Galen Gering) and Eli (Lamon Archey) have their sights set on Vivian (Louise Sorel) for some answers. After the duo question her on Tuesday, she’ll have an awfully convincing story for them on Wednesday, leading to Gabi’s (Cherie Jimenez) family having to comfort her, presumably when they learn that Stefan (Brandon Barash) is also truly dead.

Odds and Ends

On the Gwen (Emily O’Brien) and Dimitri (Peter Porte) front, Gwen will kick off the week by telling EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) her plan to take down Dimitri. This plan of hers will go live on Thursday, but not before Dimitri’s attempt to seduce Leo (Greg Rikaart).

Kate (Lauren Koslow) will end the week in what sounds like a jealous rage after she catches Roman (Josh Taylor) comforting his ex Marlena (Deidre Hall) once again.

All this while Holly (Ashley Puzemis) and Sophia (Rachel Boyd) finally reconcile, and Liam (Hank Northrop) is forced to apologize to Abe (James Reynolds) after Rafe gets the truth about the DiMera kidnappings out of him.
