‘Days of Our Lives’ Shocker: Roman Suspects Kate May Have Tried to Kill EJ DiMera
April 17, 2025 | By TV Soapline News
In Salem, no secret stays buried forever — and in the latest explosive twist on Days of Our Lives, Roman Brady finds himself grappling with a devastating possibility: could Kate Brady, the woman he loves, have tried to kill EJ DiMera?
The storyline has taken a dark and unexpected turn following the mysterious hit-and-run involving Rex Brady, which left him hospitalized and sparked fury in his fiercely protective mother. Now, new clues suggest that Kate’s rage may have boiled over — and Roman is struggling with a growing suspicion that she may have taken justice into her own hands.
A Mother’s Fury, A City’s Suspicions
It all began with screeching tires and a sickening thud — a hit-and-run that sent Rex Brady to the hospital. While Rex survived the attempt on his life, what followed was even more unsettling.
Kate Brady, known for her sharp tongue and fierce loyalty, became consumed by a single name: EJ DiMera. Convinced that EJ was responsible for hurting her son, Kate’s simmering rage quickly turned into something darker.
“He hurt Rex. Don’t try to tell me otherwise,” she snapped, pacing the kitchen as Roman watched with concern.
Roman couldn’t deny that EJ had left a trail of pain in his wake. But as a former cop — and a man who’s seen what unchecked vengeance can lead to — he grew deeply unsettled. Especially when Rex made a chilling discovery.
The Gun in the Drawer: Rex’s Alarming Discovery
After recovering from the accident, Rex returned home early to reassure his mother — only to find her acting strangely. She was jittery, distracted, and clung to him just a little too long. But the real shock came when he went to grab a blanket and opened one of her drawers.
There, tucked hastily in the back, was a handgun.
“Mom?” Rex asked quietly, holding the drawer open. “What’s this?”
Kate froze before offering a shaky response: “Just a precaution. In case whoever hit you comes back.”
Rex didn’t buy it — and he immediately called Roman.
Roman’s Dilemma: Trust, Love, and a Loaded Gun
The call from Rex hit Roman like a punch to the gut. He knew Kate didn’t keep her gun loose in a drawer unless she planned to use it. And when he confronted her about it, Kate denied everything.
“You didn’t go after EJ, did you?”
“Of course not. What do you take me for?” Kate replied, but her voice trembled just enough to raise alarm.
Roman, ever the investigator, couldn’t shake the feeling that she was hiding something. And he was keeping secrets of his own — like the fact that his own gun had gone missing recently… and only one person might have known where it was.
Johnny’s Secret and the Night in Question
What Roman doesn’t yet realize is that his grandson Johnny DiMera may have borrowed his weapon — and for reasons still shrouded in mystery. Johnny has been acting suspiciously for weeks, distracted and distant, clearly burdened by something.
Meanwhile, EJ DiMera was discovered shot at close range inside his mansion, with no signs of forced entry. He survived the attack, but remains in a coma, leaving everyone asking: Who pulled the trigger?
The list of suspects is long:
-
Rafe Hernandez, whose career was nearly ruined by EJ’s schemes.
-
Gabby Hernandez, whose business empire was destroyed by EJ’s ruthless dealings.
-
Even JJ Deveraux, who suspects his cousin Gabby may have gone too far.
A City Full of Secrets and One Big Question
As Roman continues to unravel the truth, the tension in Salem mounts. Did Kate, in a moment of maternal vengeance, try to kill EJ? Was it Johnny, using Roman’s own weapon? Or was it one of EJ’s countless enemies who finally decided to strike?
For now, Roman is caught between loyalty and suspicion — and as more secrets unravel, the truth may destroy more than just reputations.
Because in Salem, no one stays innocent forever.
Stay tuned for more drama, revelations, and emotional confrontations as the mystery deepens. One thing is clear: Days of Our Lives is not holding back.
