Big changes are on the horizon in Days of Our Lives as Melinda Trask steps into a powerful new role, taking over EJ DiMera’s job as District

Attorney. The fallout from this development promises to shake up the lives of several Salem residents, especially the DiMera family.

It all starts when an explosion rocks the DiMera mansion. EJ is caught in the blast, but despite being knocked back by the shockwave, he

survives. Meanwhile, Melinda Trask, who is nearby, manages to escape unharmed and soon finds herself offered EJ’s DA position. This unexpected twist leaves EJ reeling as he watches his political power slip through his fingers.

EJ’s downfall is not entirely a result of the explosion. In fact, Stefan DiMera, EJ’s brother, plays a crucial role in his ousting. Stefan has been harboring resentment toward EJ for quite some time, especially after discovering EJ’s affair with Gabby Hernandez, Stefan’s wife. This betrayal pushes Stefan to expose EJ’s involvement in a past drug scandal.

Stefan approaches Mayor Paulina Price with damning information: EJ knew about a drug operation run by Clyde Weston and allowed it to continue. His inaction led to the deaths of several people in Salem, including the near-fatal poisoning of Holly Jonas, EJ’s stepdaughter. With this revelation, Paulina has no choice but to remove EJ from his position as DA.

Melinda’s rise to power is swift. She steps in as the new District Attorney, and it’s clear that she won’t hesitate to use her newfound authority to go after EJ. Melinda has long been waiting for the opportunity to bring EJ to justice, and now she finally has the chance to prosecute him for his past mistakes, including his failure to stop the drug trade that cost innocent lives.

While Melinda settles into her new role, EJ is left grappling with his losses. Not only has he been ousted as DA, but he’s also been cut off from his family’s company, DiMera Enterprises, where Kristen DiMera now holds the CEO position. With no job, no power, and his reputation in ruins, EJ is at a crossroads.

Despite his misfortunes, EJ isn’t one to stay down for long. He’s furious at Stefan for orchestrating his downfall and is determined to get revenge. One way EJ might strike back is by pursuing Gabby, further driving a wedge between her and Stefan. There’s a real possibility that EJ and Gabby could enter a full-blown enemies-to-lovers storyline, adding even more drama to the DiMera family’s already tumultuous relationships.

As for Stefan, his plan to get rid of EJ may backfire spectacularly. EJ is known for his ruthless nature, and now that he’s been pushed to the edge, there’s no telling what lengths he’ll go to in order to reclaim his power and punish those who wronged him.

With Melinda in charge, EJ out of a job, and tensions between the DiMera brothers at an all-time high, the stage is set for a gripping battle of wills. Will EJ find a way to claw his way back to the top, or will Stefan and Melinda maintain their hold on power? One thing’s for sure—Salem is in for a wild ride.
