Today, we’re diving deep into one of Salem’s most unexpected theories—one that could completely reshape what we thought we knew about Abigail’s tragic demise. While Clyde Weston has long

been blamed for her death, a chilling new possibility emerges: What if Katerina has been the true villain all along? If this theory proves true, it could uncover shocking truths that have remained

hidden for far too long.

Clyde Weston, recently shot under mysterious circumstances, had been on the verge of revealing a bombshell to Chad DiMera about Abigail’s death. Just as he was ready to spill the truth, Katerina intervened—her actions cold, calculated, and undeniably suspicious. Though Clyde survived the surgery, he remains in a coma, effectively silencing him before he could expose her secrets. Was Katerina afraid Clyde knew too much? Her impeccable timing suggests there’s far more to the story.

Katerina’s involvement becomes even more troubling when you trace her shadowy connection to John Black. Decades ago, John was involved in a harrowing incident in Greece where, under Constantine’s manipulation, he fired a gun. In the chaos, Katerina appeared to be an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire. For years, John has been haunted by fragmented memories, believing he may have shot two people—Constantine and Katerina. Yet Katerina’s survival and sudden reappearance in Salem calls everything into question. Was she truly a victim that day, or has she been orchestrating events from the shadows all along, manipulating John into carrying decades of guilt?

John’s recent trip to Greece only intensified the mystery as he sought answers to forgive himself and find closure. Instead, Katerina’s return raises unsettling questions about her true role in the past and present. Has she been controlling not just John’s guilt but also orchestrating a series of tragedies, including Abigail’s death?

Katerina’s manipulative nature is what makes her so dangerous. She deceived two of Salem’s sharpest minds—John Black and Steve Johnson—leaving them questioning their perceptions of reality. Every move Katerina makes appears calculated, part of a larger, unseen agenda. If she did have a hand in Abigail’s death, it wasn’t out of impulse but as a key piece in her twisted scheme. Was Clyde merely a pawn in Katerina’s game, manipulated into taking the blame to draw suspicion away from her? And by shooting Clyde, did she eliminate a loose end who was dangerously close to exposing her?

The intrigue deepens with John’s sudden appearance in Missouri—where Katerina was also present—connecting the past to the present in ways that remain unclear. Was Clyde’s shooting another calculated step in her larger plan? Or is there another missing piece that ties all of these events together?

If Katerina truly is the mastermind behind Abigail’s tragic fate, her motives remain a mystery. But one thing is clear: Chad DiMera won’t stop until he uncovers the truth. When Katerina’s web of lies finally unravels, the fallout will be devastating for Salem and everyone involved. Her secrets are beginning to surface, and the truth promises to shake Salem to its core.

As this gripping storyline unfolds, we’re left with burning questions: Will Chad expose Katerina’s role in Abigail’s death? Can John finally find peace with his haunted past? And most importantly—what other shocking truths is Katerina still hiding?
