DAYS OF OUR LIVES SPOILERS: EJ AND CAT’S FORBIDDEN ATTRACTION THREATENS TO DESTROY BOTH DIMERA BROTHERS!

Is EJ DiMera’s silent auction bid on Cat Greene just an innocent gesture to help his brother… or the start of Salem’s most explosive love triangle? I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor after seeing those promotional photos of Cat positioned squarely between the DiMera brothers! Talk about chemistry that practically SIZZLES through the screen!

THE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

Let’s not forget that EJ barely survived that shocking April shooting. Near-death experiences have a way of changing people in Salem (and honestly, who in town HASN’T died at least once?). Sources close to production tell me that Dan Feuerriegel has been delivering some of his most vulnerable performances yet as EJ grapples with his mortality and the wreckage of his past.

“After surviving a near-fatal attack, spoilers suggest he may emerge from his coma with a changed perspective,” one insider shared. And who better to help a reformed villain see life through fresh eyes than someone equally desperate for a second chance?

CAT GREENE: SALEM’S BLANK SLATE

Cat Greene isn’t just any newcomer. AnnaLynne McCord has transformed this character from “fake Abigail” to a woman determined to forge her own identity. Unlike practically EVERYONE else in Salem, Cat has zero history with EJ—no kidnappings, no blackmail, no baby-swapping drama between them!

For a man whose romantic history includes the tumultuous Sami Brady and Nicole Walker sagas, Cat’s blank-slate status could be exactly what the doctor ordered. She’s weathered her own storms—being forced by Clyde Weston to impersonate a dead woman isn’t exactly a walk in the park—and she understands what it means to seek redemption.

But let’s be real: Belle Black isn’t going to just step aside. Despite their recent split, Belle (Martha Madison) still harbors feelings for EJ. Remember when she admitted she couldn’t just turn her emotions off like a faucet? Yeah, that’s about to come back and bite everyone!

THE DIMERA BROTHERHOOD HANGS BY A THREAD

If you thought the DiMera family dynamic was complicated before… just wait. Chad (Billy Flynn) might’ve saved his brother’s life, but how would he feel if EJ stole the woman who’s helped him move forward after losing Abigail?

The last time these brothers fought over a woman—flashback to Chad and Abigail’s early days—it nearly destroyed them both. Are we watching history repeat itself? Because I’m getting major déjà vu vibes!

FANS DIVIDED OVER THE POTENTIAL PAIRING

Social media is absolutely BUZZING about this potential coupling! The #DOOL hashtag practically caught fire after those promotional photos dropped.

“Cat doesn’t interest me,” wrote Reddit user Crochetgardendog, voicing what many longtime viewers feel about this newcomer.

Meanwhile, Thestargazed suggested something that sent my soap-loving heart racing: “Maybe Cat can become the ‘new Nicole’ to Belle, making Belle jealous.”

OMG. Can you IMAGINE? Another epic DiMera love triangle with Belle forced to fight for EJ’s affections? Pass the popcorn, because I am HERE for this drama!

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THIS POTENTIAL SUPERCOUPLE?

If the writers take this route (and my sources say it’s definitely being considered), we could see EJ mentoring Cat professionally at DiMera Enterprises. Picture this: late nights at the office, sharing secrets, understanding each other in ways no one else could…

Or—and this is my personal theory—what if Clyde Weston resurfaces to threaten Cat’s family, and EJ becomes her protector? Nothing brings potential couples together like a common enemy! EJ’s savior complex would kick into high gear, reminiscent of his early days with Sami.

But the path that seems most likely? That gorgeous promo photo of EJ, Chad, and Cat wasn’t just for show. If Chad’s lingering guilt over Abigail keeps him from fully committing to Cat, she might find herself drawn to EJ’s more decisive nature. And we all know EJ has never been one to walk away from something—or someone—he wants.

THE FINAL WORD

While Belle and EJ’s chemistry remains a fan favorite, their fundamental differences—Belle as DA vs. EJ’s morally gray tendencies—create a natural breaking point. Cat’s arrival offers writers a chance to redefine EJ’s legacy through a relationship unburdened by decades of Salem history.

For this pairing to work, Cat needs to grow beyond her “victim” persona into someone who can match EJ’s intensity. And EJ’s redemption needs to feel earned—not just another temporary personality transplant that Salem specializes in!

One thing’s crystal clear: as Days approaches its 60th anniversary, a bold move like EJ/Cat could inject fresh energy into Salem’s most iconic family. Will they become the next great supercouple or crash and burn spectacularly?

Either way, I’ll be watching! What do YOU think about this potential pairing? Would you root for EJ and Cat, or are you firmly in the Belle camp? The battle lines are being drawn in Salem—whose side are YOU on?
