OMG! EJ’s Shooter Revealed, Shocking Fans | Days of Our Lives Spoilers

Salem is in shock as the mystery behind EJ DiMera’s shooting takes a dark and unexpected turn. While viewers have been speculating for weeks about who pulled the trigger, a shocking theory has emerged that may blow the case wide open. It’s not a villain, a scorned lover, or even a rival DiMera—it might be someone no one ever saw coming: Rachel Black.

Yes, you read that right. The latest buzz points the finger at Rachel, the young daughter of Brady Black and Kristen DiMera. Though just a child, Rachel’s life has been anything but ordinary. Born into chaos and raised amid years of deception, unstable parenting, and intense custody battles, Rachel may be carrying emotional wounds deeper than anyone realized. Her behavior has been increasingly erratic over the past year—disobeying authority, displaying troubling emotional outbursts, and clinging fiercely to loyalty within her fractured family.

Now, speculation is swirling that Rachel may have been pushed too far. With the disappearance of her beloved grandmother, Marlena Evans, suspicions point to EJ being involved in some sinister scheme. Marlena was one of the few stable, loving influences in Rachel’s life—someone who tried to shield her from Kristen’s volatility and Brady’s chaos. If Rachel discovered that EJ was behind Marlena’s vanishing act, her grief and fury could have driven her to seek revenge.

And while it might sound far-fetched, unsettling clues are piling up. A missing weapon from the DiMera mansion. Small fingerprints found on discarded gloves. Tiny footprints near the garden where EJ was gunned down. Evidence that seemed insignificant—or even overlooked because no one expected a child to be capable of such violence. But now, with these details in mind, the puzzle pieces might be fitting together in a chilling way.

Fueling the flames of this theory is a casting shake-up. Alice Holly is stepping into the role of Rachel Black, replacing Finley Rose Slater. And insiders hint that this change marks a turning point for the character, ushering in a more intense, emotionally complex version of Rachel. Could this be setting the stage for a massive revelation—that the shooter was a little girl whose world had crumbled?

The implications are staggering. If Rachel did shoot EJ, the fallout will rock Salem to its core. Brady will have to face the terrifying idea that Rachel may have inherited not only Kristen’s eyes but also her dark impulses. Kristen, on the other hand, might do whatever it takes to protect her daughter—or coldly sacrifice her if it means saving herself. And EJ, should he survive, could respond with vengeance… or, in a shocking twist, choose to protect Rachel, recognizing the act as one of twisted family loyalty. After all, to the DiMeras, blood ties mean everything—even when they come at the cost of near-fatal betrayal.

As for Rachel herself, the big question is: will she confess? Could Salem witness a heartbreaking moment where she breaks down and admits what she did, or will she continue to hide the truth, haunted by flashbacks and guilt? With her recast looming, fans should brace for emotional fireworks and possibly a confession that will turn everything upside down.

The road ahead is full of suspense. Is Rachel truly the one behind the gun? Or is someone else pulling the strings in the background, using a vulnerable child as a pawn in a much bigger game?

Stay tuned, because the truth is inching closer—and when it finally explodes, Salem will never be the same again. For all the latest twists, updates, and jaw-dropping theories, be sure to follow Soap News and Spoilers. The answers are coming… and they may shock you to your core.
