Wondering how EJ’s latest scheme on Days of Our Lives could reshape Johnny and Chanel’s future and pull Johnny deeper into the DiMera legacy? As tensions rise over a shocking shooting and manipulated evidence surfaces, EJ seizes the moment to protect his son while advancing his own agenda. His plan sets off emotional fallout, legal risks, and a potential power shift within the DiMera family.
Here’s a breakdown of how EJ’s moves could end a marriage and reclaim a son.
Does EJ want to end Johnny and Chanel’s marriage in Days of Our Lives?
EJ takes calculated steps that could end Johnny and Chanel’s marriage.
On Wednesday’s episode of Days of Our Lives, Belle and Jada watch doctored memory card footage showing Chanel threatening EJ. The footage is clearly edited. EJ uses it to shift suspicion onto Chanel and help clear Johnny’s name in the shooting investigation.
EJ knows the footage may not be enough to convict Chanel. However, it could raise reasonable doubt that Johnny was the shooter. He also sees the damage this could cause to Johnny and Chanel’s relationship. If Johnny starts to doubt Chanel, their marriage could fall apart.
EJ tries to make Chanel look guilty to free his son and pull Johnny back into the DiMera fold. After Johnny is cleared and returns home, EJ plans to convince Tony to appoint him as DiMera CEO. He wants to use Johnny’s renewed loyalty to involve him in a plan targeting Xander and Philip’s roles at Titan and DiMera.
Johnny has stayed out of DiMera family power struggles, but EJ sees this as a chance to change that. If Johnny’s marriage to Chanel falls apart, EJ expects him to turn to his father for support. This would make it easier to draw Johnny into the family business.
EJ did not commit the shooting. If the truth comes out and Chanel is cleared, Johnny and Chanel may rebuild their marriage. EJ’s manipulation could be exposed, leading to legal consequences and more damage to his relationship with Johnny.
