Casey Moss Drops a Bombshell About EJ’s Shooter—and Shares Joyous Wedding News with Longtime Love
In an exclusive interview that left “Days of Our Lives” fans buzzing, Casey Moss—best known for his role as JJ Deveraux—revealed not one, but two major updates that have the soap world in a frenzy. The actor, who has been a fan favorite for years, dropped a huge bombshell about his character’s involvement in one of the show’s most gripping storylines, and also opened up about a momentous milestone in his personal life: his upcoming wedding to longtime love and former co-star, True O’Brien.
Moss, who returned to Days of Our Lives as JJ earlier this month, is at the center of a heart-pounding investigation into the shooting of EJ DiMera. The mysterious event, which left Salem reeling, has the entire town speculating about who could be responsible for taking down the infamous DiMera heir. In an unexpected moment of candor during the interview, Moss hinted at a shocking revelation that is sure to send shockwaves through the fanbase. In what seems like a slip-up, Moss confirmed that the shooter is none other than Ava Vitali, a character with a notorious history in Salem, including her past ties to the mob and several dangerous secrets.
The revelation came when Moss, speaking about the investigation, casually mentioned, “She just left town, ran off on Thursday.” His offhand comment instantly set off a firestorm of speculation among fans, who are now convinced that Ava is indeed the one who pulled the trigger on EJ. With Ava’s sudden departure, many suspect that her exit is a classic soap tactic—disappearing just before the truth is revealed.
While Moss’s on-screen life is embroiled in murder investigations and high-stakes drama, his off-screen romance with O’Brien is the picture of stability. The two met on the set of Days of Our Lives nearly a decade ago, where O’Brien played Paige Larson, JJ’s ill-fated love interest. Although their on-screen relationship ended tragically with Paige’s murder at the hands of the Necktie Killer, their real-life connection only grew stronger after the cameras stopped rolling. The couple has been together for nearly 10 years, and now, they are preparing for their upcoming wedding.
In the interview, Moss shared that their wedding will be an intimate and private affair. “It’s going to be small and private,” Moss explained. “I don’t want to do anything crazy, and True doesn’t want to do anything crazy. We’re just going to keep it to ourselves and not for everyone else.” Despite being no stranger to dramatic storylines on-screen, Moss made it clear that he’s involved in every detail of the wedding planning. “Throughout our relationship, we’ve always shared the responsibilities,” Moss said. “I don’t want to put it all on her. She has so much on her plate.”
Fans, who have followed Moss and O’Brien’s journey from co-stars to soulmates, took to social media to express their joy and congratulations. One fan wrote, “Casey Moss and True O’Brien, congrats on your upcoming wedding! Love you both!” Another added, “Finally! I am so happy for you both, love and admire you.”
As for JJ Deveraux’s return to Salem, fans are eager to see how Moss’s character will evolve in the coming weeks. JJ is currently investigating the shooting of EJ, which continues to unravel with each new clue. As a seasoned police officer in Salem, JJ must rely on his instincts and relationships to uncover the shooter’s identity, all while protecting those he cares about. Tensions are high, especially with the mysterious Gabby Hernandez, who may know more than she’s letting on.
Moss’s personal and professional lives are both reaching new heights. While the excitement surrounding his wedding continues to grow, fans are equally eager to see how his character will help unravel the truth behind EJ’s shooting. Could JJ be the one to bring justice—or vengeance—on behalf of those he loves?
As Moss prepares for his new chapter in life, both on-screen and off, it’s clear that fans have much to look forward to. With explosive twists in Salem and a joyous wedding on the horizon, Casey Moss is giving fans plenty to celebrate. Stay tuned to Days of Our Lives to see how the drama unfolds, and don’t miss the upcoming reveals—because in Salem, nothing stays buried for long.
