Days of our lives spoilers: FINALLY! It wasn’t Johnny, it was Roman who shot EJ.
Hello everyone, and welcome back to TV Days Drama Digest! If you’ve been following Days of Our Lives, you know there’s never a dull moment in Salem—and the latest shocking twist has everyone asking the same question: Who shot EJ DiMera?
This isn’t just another whodunit; it’s a tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and long-simmering vendettas that could change the future of the DiMera family forever.
The town was rocked when news broke that EJ had been shot. EJ, a powerful and polarizing figure in Salem, has spent years accumulating enemies across both personal and professional fronts.
With a history steeped in controversial business dealings, manipulative relationships, and family drama, it’s no surprise that someone finally reached their breaking point. But who would dare go so far as to pull the trigger?
One of the first major revelations came from Gabi Hernandez, who confessed that she went to the DiMera mansion the night of the shooting—armed.
She admitted to bringing her service weapon with her, immediately placing herself at the center of the investigation.
But Gabi insisted she didn’t shoot EJ. According to her, she overheard EJ in a heated argument with a man whose voice she didn’t recognize. That one detail—a mysterious male voice—would become a critical piece of the puzzle.
Gabi’s account took another turn when she revealed she had seen Ava Vitali at the scene. Ava didn’t see Gabi, but the encounter left Gabi rattled enough to flee.
Her suspicion: Ava may have arrived with her own agenda—or perhaps she returned later to finish something sinister. Was Ava just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or is she hiding more than she’s letting on?
While Gabi, Rafe, Jada, and Ava all denied involvement in the crime, suspicion lingered. The police narrowed in on the detail of the unknown male voice in the argument.
At first, fans speculated it could have been Johnny DiMera, EJ’s son, given their strained relationship. But Johnny was eventually ruled out, leaving everyone wondering: Who was the man Gabi overheard?
That’s when one name started rising to the top—Roman Brady. Roman has long been at odds with the DiMera family.
His rivalry with EJ is no secret, fueled by years of conflict, family loyalty, and personal grievances. Could Roman, driven by a deep sense of protection for his loved ones, have finally snapped?
The possibility that he was the man arguing with EJ—and potentially the shooter—has turned the investigation on its head.
Roman’s motives run deep. He’s a fiercely loyal father and protector, known for taking matters into his own hands when family is threatened.
If he believed EJ had become a danger to those he loves, would he have seen this as the only way out? That emotional turmoil could have easily escalated into a confrontation—one with devastating consequences.
As the investigation drags on, Salem is in chaos. The shooting has sent shockwaves through the community, and no one feels safe.
The fallout will be massive—relationships tested, alliances broken, and secrets dragged into the light. Who really shot EJ DiMera? Was it Roman Brady pushed past his limits, or is another twist waiting to be revealed?
One thing is clear: this mystery is far from over. As fans of Days of Our Lives, we know that nothing in Salem is ever simple.
The truth will come out—but not without a cost. So stay tuned, because this drama is only just beginning. And don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to TV Days Drama Digest for more breaking updates on your favorite soap!
