3 Huge ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Moments You Can’t Miss – Week Of Jan 12-16

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal there are three must-see moments for the week of January 12, 2026. Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) gets unexpectedly pulled into the stalker storyline.
Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) wants to join a sorority. Plus, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) tries to make a deal with Gwen Rizczech von Leuschner (Emily O’Brien). Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.
Sophia Choi’s Escape
Let’s start off with Sophia, who will plot with Rachel Black (Alice Halsey). It seems that Rachel has a job for the little girl to do, one that includes money. Then, Rachel hides in Sophia’s bed while the college student escapes.
Rachel doesn’t look too pleased in a preview clip. The little girl is holding a wad of cash, but what does Sophia have her buy?

Stephanie Johnson’s Bold Move
Sophia’s escape is tied to Stephanie Johnson’s (Abigail Klein) storyline. The public relations princess is now engaged to Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). In the upcoming week, Stephanie will come up with an idea, which explains her publicizing the engagement. Stephanie is likely trying to draw the stalker out.
Ari Horton’s Shocking Sight
What does Stephanie’s stalker have to do with Sophia’s escape? Well, we have already seen a slender person wearing all black secretly recording Alex and Stephanie.
It seems that when Sophia zooms through Salem on foot, she is also wearing all black. Sophia could easily be mistaken for Stephanie’s stalker. I don’t think they are the same person as the person wearing the leather jacket outside Stepahnie’s hotel room had very broad shoulders.
However, when Ari spots Sophia in the Horton Town Square, things could get very messy! Especially if something happens to Alex around the same time as Sophia’s sighting.
Holly Jonas’ Sorority Scheme
Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that another must-see moment focuses on Ari and Holly. The blonde will want to join a sorority at Salem University. However, Holly wants Ari to join, too. I can’t really see Ari joining a sorority.
The girl didn’t even want to walk on stage to get her diploma. However, she might accompany Holly at a party to check things out. I can foresee some chaos and drama, though.
Leo Stark’s Desperate Deal
As for Leo, he is determined to get rid of Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte). The villain is ruining Leo’s new marriage to Javi Hernandez (Galen Gering). Leo went there to tell Dimitri goodbye, not to get a kiss. If Javi Hernandez (Al Calderon) hears about the kiss, he could get the wrong idea. I just hate seeing Javi so devastated.
However, Leo suggests a deal to Gwen. The young man wants Gwen to make Dimitri disappear all over again. Nothing could go wrong, right?!
