3 Game-Changing ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Moments Ahead – Week of January 5-9

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal there are three must-see moments for the week of January 5, 2026! Fans can expect Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte) to get the upper hand on Gwen Rizczech von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien). Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) surprises Tate Black (Leo Howard).

Plus, Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) gets a win and a loss. Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Holly Jonas Returns

Let’s start off with Holly, who comes back to Salem. The college student went to Paris to spend the holidays with Nicole Walker Brady (last played by Arianne Zucker). Tate was supposed to go with her.

However, between Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) and failing college, the young man needed to stay in town.

Since Holly surprises Tate, she must come home early. While things might be good for a little bit, Tate could bring up Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd).

Sarah Horton’s Romance

Over with Brady, he will experience both a win and a loss in the upcoming week. One features Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey). Fans know that the friends have been getting a lot closer lately. For New Year’s Eve, Sarah and Brady will share a kiss and perhaps even something more!

However, I do worry what Rachel will say when she learns the friendship has turned into a romance.

Brady Black’s Loss

While Brady scores a win in the romance department, he will have a professional loss. Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) calls Brady into Titan Industries. When Brady shows up, Xander simply says, “You’re fired.”

Well, that won’t sit very well with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)! I wonder if Brady’s firing will come up during a therapy session. It also won’t make things any smoother with Sarah! While they are divorced, they still have a child together. Sarah currently has full custody, but if Xander plays his cards right, he could earn some time with the baby. Not if he goes around beating everyone up and firing his family members, though!

Dimitri von Leuschner’s Leverage

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that another must-see moment centers on a shocking return. Dimitri is back in Salem and has shown up right after Leo Stark’s (Greg Rikaart) wedding to Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon).

Personally, I adore Leo and Javi together. It turns out that Leo will prove his love to his new husband.

However, as for Dimitri, he points the finger at Gwen. Later, the man will get the upper hand on the master manipulator.
