DAYS OF OUR LIVES: JOHNNY DIMERA’S GROWING SUSPICIONS ABOUT EJ’S SHOOTING

Johnny DiMera is struggling to believe EJ DiMera’s claims about his shooting, and the tension between father and son is about to reach a breaking point!

THE SON WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE

Ever since EJ woke up from his coma after being shot in the chest, he’s claimed not to remember who pulled the trigger. But Johnny isn’t buying it—and with good reason! How could EJ not see who shot him when the bullet hit him square in the chest? Someone would have to be standing right in front of him!

Johnny’s suspicions run even deeper than just doubting his father’s convenient memory loss. When EJ declared that he now wants to use his power for good, Johnny seemed equally skeptical of this sudden change of heart. After all, this is the same EJ DiMera who has schemed, manipulated, and bulldozed his way through Salem for years. A near-death experience changing him into a saint? That’s a tough pill to swallow—even for his own son.

IS EJ PROTECTING SOMEONE?

The real question on everyone’s mind: what if EJ actually remembers exactly who shot him but is choosing to keep quiet? The most compelling theory is that EJ might be protecting someone he loves deeply—possibly even Johnny himself!

Think about it—if EJ discovered that his own son had pulled the trigger, would he turn him in? Or would the notorious DiMera patriarch finally put someone else’s needs before his own and claim amnesia to protect his flesh and blood?

THE FAMILY DRAMA INTENSIFIES

While Johnny wrestles with his doubts about his father’s claims, Belle Black is set to make another confession to EJ. Given that she’s already admitted her love for him while he was in a coma, what more could she have to reveal? Could Belle somehow be connected to the shooting?

Meanwhile, Shawn Brady will receive news about his father Bo Brady’s condition. With all these family dramas converging at once, the DiMera mansion is becoming a powder keg of secrets ready to explode.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

If Johnny continues to press his father about what really happened the night of the shooting, will EJ stick to his story? Or will the pressure force him to reveal the truth? And if EJ is truly protecting someone—especially if that someone is Johnny—how far will he go to maintain the lie?

One thing’s for certain: in Salem, secrets never stay buried for long. Whether EJ is truly experiencing amnesia or orchestrating yet another DiMera cover-up, the truth is bound to come out—and when it does, the consequences could destroy this already fractured father-son relationship forever.
