Days of Our Lives Spoilers April 16: Kristen and Sophia Have Dangerous Plans

Answers, strategies, frustrations, and more in the next episode of Days of Our Lives.

Here’s what’s coming up on Days of Our Lives for Thursday, April 16, 2026. Fans can expect Brady and Sarah to spend quality time together, and more. Read on, let Soap Opera News break it down for you.

Leo Wants Another Chance

Javi (Al Calderon) is back in Salem, and little by little, he’s getting caught up on everything he missed while he was gone.

One of the biggest things? Leo (Greg Rikaart).

Leo had taken a trip to Alamainia with Dimitri (Peter Porte) to help prove his innocence. That part actually worked out. But what didn’t work out was Leo’s hope that he and Javi would find their way back to each other.

Instead, Javi ended things over the phone.

That hasn’t stopped Leo from wanting to be with him, though. He’s made that very clear.

Now that Javi is back in Salem, the two are finally going to come face to face. Leo is expected to lay it all out there. He will insist that it’s always been Javi and that he still wants a future with him.

But Javi isn’t just jumping back in. Not so easy. He has questions. A lot of them. And he wants real answers. So, will anything Leo says actually change how Javi feels?

Kate and Xander’s Risky Alliance

Meanwhile, another hot story brewing is Kate (Lauren Koslow) and Xander (Paul Telfer) teaming up.

They’ve formed what they think is a “genius” plan to save Titan, but let’s be real, it’s messy. And it’s already causing damage.

Bonnie (Judi Evans) ended up paying the price when her book signing turned into a total disaster, and Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) isn’t exactly thrilled that he was played in the process.

Now, Kate and Xander are getting serious, sitting down to strategize and figure out their next move.

Trouble All Over Salem

Elsewhere, Johnny manages to frustrate Chanel (Raven Bowens), though exactly how that plays out is still under wraps.

At the same time, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) spend some quality time together.
But don’t get too comfortable.

Days spoilers for April 16 reveal that Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) is busy pulling Sophia (Rachel Boyd) into her latest scheme. She lets her in on a pretty devious plan.

And Sophia? She’s not just listening.

She reveals she has a plan of her own, but she might need a few extra resources to pull it off.

Which means double the scheming and double the trouble could be on the way.
