Days of Our Lives spoilers take a shocking turn as EJ DiMera finds himself on the receiving end of a bullet. While he’s made plenty of enemies over the years, the name circling the top of the suspect list is his own son—Johnny DiMera. After learning a devastating truth about his conception, could Johnny really have snapped enough to try and kill his father?
The Ultimate Betrayal
Johnny recently found out the horrifying truth—he was conceived through rape. EJ violated Sami, and that bombshell rocked Johnny’s entire identity. It’s one thing to dislike your father, but learning that your existence is rooted in violence sent Johnny spiraling. Viewers saw him lash out, even hitting EJ in a fit of rage. But is throwing a punch the same as pulling a trigger?
Johnny has always been level-headed compared to other DiMeras. Violence hasn’t been his go-to. But trauma like this changes people. Learning your father is both a criminal and the reason your mother suffered? That’s next-level devastation. So, could Johnny’s anger have escalated to something darker?
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: The Possession Twist
Days of Our Lives spoilers remind us that this wouldn’t be the first time Johnny lost control—literally. Back in 2021, the devil possessed Johnny, turning him into “JoDevil.” Under the devil’s influence, Johnny destroyed relationships, impersonated EJ, and caused chaos across Salem.
He even tried to seduce Gabi and framed EJ for crimes he didn’t commit. Eventually, Johnny’s real self began to resurface, but the devil wasn’t done. JoDevil jumped into Allie next, leaving Johnny unconscious. What if JoDevil has returned and is calling the shots once again?
The Devil Made Him Do It?
If Johnny is once again under the devil’s control, it could explain everything. His rage, his recklessness, and even the shooting. This wouldn’t be the first time the devil used him to commit unforgivable acts. And if the devil is back in Salem, Johnny might not even realize he’s the shooter. But if he does remember and is keeping it hidden? That opens up an entirely new web of lies and consequences.
Of course, there’s always the possibility that Johnny acted alone. The pain was real. The betrayal cut deep. Sometimes, even the kindest soul can turn dark when faced with horrifying truth. If Johnny did shoot EJ, it would break the DiMera family in ways that can’t be repaired.
But then again, we’re talking about Salem—where secrets always rise and the past never stays buried. Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest Johnny might be more dangerous than we thought—or he could be a puppet in a demonic scheme. Whether this was an act of vengeance or the devil’s doing, EJ’s shooting marks the beginning of another dark chapter. Stick with Soap Opera Daily for all the spine-chilling updates.
