EJ’s world continues to crumble, especially now that Roman and Kate told Johnny the truth about how he came to be. The Monday, March 17, 2025, episode of Days of Our Lives wasn’t a lucky one for EJ as Johnny raged against him and Jada and Rafe attempted to discover the truth about DiMera’s role in Rafe’s captivity. Plus, two guns are in the mix, and that’s never a good sign.
The Road to EJ’s Hell
The road to EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) getting shot is paved with threats, disappointments, anger, and thirst for revenge.
Let’s start with Johnny (Carson Boatman) and EJ, however. Johnny raged against his father for one particular sin of the past. He raped Sami (Alison Sweeney) in exchange for his help in saving Lucas’s (Bryan Dattilo) life. Johnny seethed, despaired, and unleashed holy hell on his father. Even if EJ wasn’t holding himself accountable for his actions, his son sure did.
Johnny railed against his father for his excuses. It sounded like EJ victim-blamed Sami, but then he deflected his actions and put them on Stefano (the late Joseph Mascolo). Ultimately, EJ knew he was to blame, no matter what the circumstances were at the time. Now, Johnny feels that he has completely lost his identity and faith in his father. And his love has turned to hate.
Oh, and he also said this: “I hate him, Chanel (Raven Bowens). I swear to God, if I had a gun right now, I’d kill him.”
Threat made.
