Salem is bracing for one of the darkest and most emotionally charged storylines in Days of Our Lives this year. Alex Kiriakis—already

struggling after weeks of physical decline, mysterious symptoms, and tension within the Kiriakis mansion—now faces a deadly twist that no

one saw coming. According to explosive new spoilers, Alex is dying… and just when his family rallies to save him, a sinister figure from his past resurfaces with one purpose: to finish what they started.

This isn’t just a medical emergency. This is a targeted takedown.

 

 

Alex Collapses — Doctors Deliver the Worst News

Everything begins when Alex suddenly collapses during an argument with Maggie and Justin. What initially seemed like stress or exhaustion quickly spirals into a full-blown crisis as Alex is rushed to University Hospital.

Kayla runs a battery of tests, and the results are grim:

 

Alex is suffering from a rare, rapidly progressing neurological condition, one that appears to be triggered—not natural.

In other words: someone poisoned him.

Kayla warns that unless they identify the exact toxin and find an antidote, Alex’s organs will fail within days. Maggie is hysterical, Justin is furious, and Theresa—already blamed for so many disasters—pleads with the family to believe she had nothing to do with this.

But if not Theresa… then who?

 

 

The Sinister Return: Charlie Dale’s Father Arrives

Just as the Kiriakis family hunts for answers, an unexpected and deeply unsettling visitor arrives in Salem:

Alan Wilson — father of the late Charlie Dale.

Alan’s appearance immediately sends shockwaves through the community. He disappeared after Charlie’s death, vowing revenge but never resurfacing… until now.

And he’s not subtle.

Alan corners Theresa in an alley behind the pub, delivering a chilling warning:

“Tell Alex I’m not done with him. This ends the way it should’ve years ago.”

Theresa runs straight to Brady and Justin to report the threat, but the damage is done. Alan is back. And he’s hunting.

Fans will remember: Alex was involved in covering up key evidence during Charlie’s chaotic downfall. Now, it appears that Alan believes Alex holds ultimate responsibility for everything that happened to his son.

And he wants blood.

Alex Learns the Truth — and His World Collapses Again

While fighting for his life, Alex is told the truth: his decline wasn’t natural. Someone deliberately poisoned him. Kayla believes the toxin was administered slowly over weeks to mimic illness.

Alex immediately suspects Theresa—of course—but her genuine fear and emotional turmoil are unmistakable. Even he begins to doubt she’s responsible.

That’s when Marlena returns with information from the police:
Alan Wilson was spotted in Salem hours before Alex collapsed.

Alex, weak and barely able to stand, realizes the nightmare isn’t his failing body — it’s the man waiting to kill him.

Alan’s Deadly Plan — “He Won’t Leave That Hospital Alive”

Spoilers say Alan is preparing a final strike. He’s convinced Alex won’t die fast enough from the poison, and he wants to ensure the job is done before the Kiriakis family links him to the attack.

In terrifying scenes set to air next week, Alan infiltrates the hospital disguised as a maintenance worker. He navigates the hallways with a syringe hidden in his sleeve, heading toward Alex’s room.

Meanwhile, Justin and Brady piece together a clue: a security guard recalls a suspicious man lurking near the parking garage. Realizing Alan is already close, they race to the hospital—

—but they may already be too late.

Will Alex Survive? Or Is This His Final Exit?

Spoilers suggest a massive showdown is coming.

A leaked script note teases:

“A fight, a scream, a fall… and then silence.”

Fans are now debating whether Alex will survive this storyline—or whether Days of Our Lives is preparing viewers for a shocking death.

Justin and Maggie’s reactions in upcoming episodes are described as “devastating,” leaving fans even more anxious.

However, another rumor circulating behind the scenes hints that Alex may pull through—but with a permanent injury that changes his life forever.

Nothing is confirmed yet. But one thing is certain:

Alan Wilson is out for revenge, and Alex’s fate hangs by a thread.

A Must-Watch Through the End of November

With Alex’s life slipping away, Alan plotting a final kill, and the Kiriakis family erupting in panic and blame, Salem is heading into one of the most intense arcs in months.

Will justice triumph?

Or will Alex Kiriakis become the next tragic name added to Salem’s growing list of casualties?

Stay tuned — the danger is far from over.
