Today, we’re diving headfirst into one of Days of Our Lives’ most gripping and mysterious storylines: the shooting of EJ DiMera.
A man with a complicated legacy, a web of enemies, and power hanging by a thread, EJ’s brush with death has left all of Salem reeling. The burning question on everyone’s mind is: **what happens when EJ wakes up—**and more importantly, will he remember who pulled the trigger?
EJ’s Battle for Survival
Since that fateful night, EJ’s life has been hanging in the balance. Once a ruthless lawyer and power player in Salem, EJ nearly died from a bullet that came dangerously close to his heart.
Thanks to Dr. Kayla’s surgical skills, the bullet was removed, but just when everyone thought he was in the clear, EJ suffered a sudden seizure—plunging him into a medically induced coma.
A Town Full of Suspects
As the investigation drags on, suspicion looms large over Salem. EJ has no shortage of enemies—from bitter family rivalries to betrayed lovers and scheming business partners.
Could the shooter be someone from within the DiMera family? Or was it someone from EJ’s past, seeking revenge for his countless manipulations?
The list of suspects is long—and growing.
Chad’s Role: A Brother Torn
EJ’s brother, Chad DiMera, has been at his bedside, torn between loyalty and lingering resentment. Their relationship has always been a powder keg—partnership and rivalry intertwined. If EJ wakes up, will he blame Chad? Or worse—will Chad become a suspect himself?
The Moment EJ Wakes Up
When EJ opens his eyes, everything will change. The long-awaited truth about who shot him may finally be revealed. Could it be someone he trusted? Someone he loved? Or will the reveal shake Salem to its core in true Days fashion?
But what if… EJ doesn’t remember a thing?
EJ Wakes Up With No Memory
Imagine EJ opening his eyes only to find the world unfamiliar—his past erased. No recollection of his crimes, betrayals, or enemies. No memory of Chad, Sami, or even his own father, Stefano.
In this shocking twist, EJ becomes a blank slate—vulnerable, confused, and easily manipulated.
Could this be Chad’s chance to take full control of DiMera Enterprises? Could a vengeful ex or family member use EJ’s condition to gain the upper hand? And what happens when EJ starts questioning his place in a legacy built on lies, power, and betrayal?
The DiMera Legacy in Turmoil
Without EJ’s sharp mind and iron grip, the DiMera empire could crumble—or be reshaped by those around him. His children, Johnny and Sydney, may see an opportunity to claim their inheritance.
Chad could rise as the new patriarch. But all of it depends on what EJ remembers… and what he forgets.
A Dangerous Game of Deceit
EJ’s memory loss gives his enemies the perfect cover. The person who shot him may be hiding in plain sight, pretending to care while plotting their next move. Could it be a jilted lover?
A jealous sibling? Or someone we’ve all overlooked?
Sami, Chad, and the Fallout
What about Sami Brady? Known for her manipulations and deep, unresolved love for EJ—will she seize this opportunity to win him back? Or will EJ’s new blank-slate perspective drive them further apart?
As for Chad, will guilt over their past stop him from taking advantage of his brother’s condition—or will he step fully into his dark side?
A Fresh Start… or the End of EJ?
As the drama builds, the question remains: Can EJ rebuild his life from scratch?
Or will his past come roaring back before he’s ready?
One thing’s for sure—nothing in Salem will ever be the same again.
What do you think, Days of Our Lives fans?
Are we witnessing a redemption arc for EJ… or the beginning of his ultimate downfall?
Could the shooter be someone no one saw coming? Or will the truth be more devastating than we ever imagined?
