DAYS SHOCKER: Is Rachel FAKING It All? Fans Fear the “Traumatized” Little Girl May Be EJ’s Real Shooter!

On Jun 28, 2025

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) is acting like a traumatized little girl. However, we have to remember that this is no normal little girl.

She is the daughter of Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk). The child also already has a well-developed history of stalking and kidnapping.

So, could this trauma act be just that… an act? Keep reading and let’s talk about what is coming up in the Peacock soap opera.

Rachel Black’s History

First, let’s talk about Rachel’s history. The little girl already sent threatening text messages to Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun).

Then, when Rachel met her grandmother, Rachel Blake (Roslyn Gentle), the two had Ava kidnapped and held hostage.

Most children, even the ones who commit bad acts, usually feel some kind of remorse, guilt, or empathy for the victim.

We have not seen this at all from Rachel. I’m starting to wonder if we are dealing with a little psychopath, honestly.

Ava Vitali’s Disappearance

Ava ended up breaking up with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) anyway. However, Ava soon after disappeared.

Fans know that Ava isn’t with Wendy Shin (Victoria Grace) and Tripp Johnson (Lucas Adams) in Hong Kong like she said she would be. I’m still suspecting that Rachel had something to do with Ava’s disappearance.

Remember, at the time, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) got rid of Rachel’s grandmother, whom she absolutely adored and schemed with.

Now that Kristen has made a deal with EJ, Rachel Senior is just fine. However, there is now the shooting to deal with.

EJ DiMera’s Shooting

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Rachel claims to have nightmares about a shooting. The little girl is also mumbling in her sleep, which sets off alarm bells for Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall). Rachel also told Kristen that she saw Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) point a gun at uncle EJ.

Fans know that Johnny confessed to Marlena and Roman Brady (Josh Taylor). One problem with Johnny’s story is he didn’t pull the trigger, then handed the gun to EJ.

Now there is one bullet missing from Roman’s gun. So, that either means Johnny is lying or someone else pulled the trigger afterward.

Innocent Act Crashes Down?

Rachel had stomach aches and headaches before Marlena asked her about the mumbling in her sleep. Rachel gave her story, and happily ate cake and ice cream afterward. While everyone assumed Rachel will be back to her old self, what if there is another explanation?

What if Rachel who pulled the trigger after Johnny left? Could Kristen and Brady’s little girl be responsible for EJ’s shooting, and is putting the blame on Johnny?
