Days of Our Lives Comings and Goings For The Week Of May 4, 2026, brings familiar Salem faces, a key recast, and more family drama. Tony and Anna return, Justin resurfaces, Amy Choi gets focus, and Javi’s new chapter finally has a debut date set.
Tony, Anna, And Justin Bring Salem Family Drama
Salem gets a classic DiMera boost this week. Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley return as Tony and Anna DiMera. Their comeback connects to Stefano DiMera’s will reading. That alone should stir major emotions across the DiMera family.
Their return gives Salem a touch of old-school glamour. Tony and Anna always bring charm, history, and sharp reactions. With Stefano’s name involved again, the DiMeras may face more buried drama. This visit could leave lasting ripples.
Wally Kurth also returns as Justin Kiriakis this week. Justin appears on Thursday, May 7. His scenes with Alex Kiriakis focus on fatherhood. That should give fans a softer Kiriakis moment.
Justin’s return adds warmth to a busy Salem week. The Kiriakis family often lives inside business drama. Still, these father-son scenes may slow things down nicely. Alex could need that grounded support right now.
Days of Our Lives Comings and Goings: Amy Choi Gets More Focus, Javi Recast Confirmed
Shi Ne Nielsen gets more screen time as Amy Choi. Amy’s scenes arrive during Sophia’s latest troubling chapter. Sophia went rogue last week after a dangerous move. Now, her mother may face painful fallout.
Amy receives upsetting news about her daughter on Tuesday, May 5. She also shares scenes with Johnny DiMera on Thursday, May 7. That pairing could create more tension around Sophia’s storyline. Johnny may get pulled deeper into the mess.
Meanwhile, Days of Our Lives has confirmed Javi Hernandez’s recast. Al Calderon’s exit news came last summer. Now, Jacob Martinez has landed the role. He will debut as Javi on June 30.
Jacob Martinez joins as Gabi and Rafe Hernandez’s cousin. He is a daytime newcomer with theater experience. His arrival could refresh the Hernandez family canvas. Javi’s return may also open new Salem trouble.
