Days of Our Lives Spoilers April 23: EJ Faces a Shock

Gun safety, questions, plans, 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 23, 2026. Fans can expect Steve to walk Stephanie through gun safety and more. Read on, let Soap Opera News break it down for you.

Target Practice with Patch

Safety first! After the trauma she’s been through, Stephanie (Abigail Klein) is officially a gun owner, but she’s not going into this blind. Her dad, Steve (Stephen Nichols), is stepping up to walk her through the ins and outs of gun safety. While Patch is the best mentor a girl could ask for when it comes to protection, you have to wonder if holding a weapon will truly bring Stephanie the peace of mind she is searching for.

Heart-to-Hearts at the Horton House

Over at the Horton house, Jeremy (Michael Roark) is finding a sympathetic ear in Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes). He opens up about something, and we’d say this might be about his complicated feelings for Stephanie.

Obviously, there’s no one better than Julie to offer a bit of “tough love” wisdom. Jeremy has been working hard to clear his name and prove he’s a changed man, and he’s won in that department. But since he and Stephanie went through the same ordeal, it’s hard for them not to bond in a certain way.

Chad’s Return and a Gwen Grilling

Meanwhile, Chad (Conner Floyd) is back in Salem (with a fresh new face, no less!), and he isn’t wasting any time getting to work. He’s got some pointed questions for Gwen (Emily O’Brien), and knowing Chad, he won’t be satisfied with half-answers. Can she be honest?

Leo’s Digital Sleuthing and EJ’s Bad Day

Meanwhile, Leo (Greg Rikaart) is still caught in a bit of a romantic tailspin. After spending some time stalking Javi’s (Al Calderon) new man online, he’s shifting gears and trying to make actual, real-life plans with Javi. We’ll see if Leo’s charm is enough to secure a date or if he’s destined for more “Dear Diary”. After all, Leo loves to write.

Finally, keep an eye on EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), who is about to get the shock of his life. He’s been throwing his weight around the mansion—even kicking Gwen out—but the tables are turning. They often say that the higher you sit, the harder you fall! So, is EJ about to fall? Or as spoilers put it, is he just about to be blindsided?
