Big Shockers! Rachel is the culprit, the secret is revealed Days of Our Lives Spoilers

Did Rachel Black Shoot EJ DiMera? The Shocking Twist Shaking Salem

Days of Our Lives fans are buzzing as the shocking shooting of EJ DiMera sends shockwaves through Salem.

Known for his power moves and ruthless schemes, EJ has made many enemies—but no one expected the newest suspect to be… Rachel Black.

Yes, that Rachel Black. The daughter of Kristen DiMera and Brady Black, Rachel is no stranger to chaos. Born into drama and raised amidst custody battles, betrayals, and emotional trauma, Rachel’s childhood has been anything but normal.

Now, she returns to the canvas—recast and reimagined. Played by Alice Hollyy, Rachel is no longer just a child. This new version of the character brings emotional depth, trauma, and a chilling sense of mystery.

Her return could be the beginning of a storyline darker than anything Salem has seen in years.

Rumors suggest that Rachel may have learned something devastating—that EJ was behind the kidnapping of her beloved grandmother.

For a young girl already struggling with fear and abandonment, this revelation may have pushed her to the edge.

Could Rachel, in a moment of pain and rage, have found a gun and taken justice into her own hands?

It’s a bold twist—but not out of place for Days. The show has never shied away from controversial, emotionally-charged storylines. And if Rachel did pull the trigger, it raises a chilling question: who’s covering it up?

Kristen? Brady? Both are capable of doing whatever it takes to protect their daughter. Kristen especially has a history of covering up crimes and manipulating the truth.

Is that why the investigation into EJ’s shooting has been full of dead ends?

And what happens if the truth gets out?

The DiMera family will erupt. Brady will be torn between protecting Rachel and doing what’s right. Kristen will fight to the bitter end to keep her daughter safe. And EJ—if he survives—will have to face the fact that the person who tried to kill him is family.

This twist sets the stage for a courtroom drama like no other. Can a child be held responsible for such a crime? Or will the web of family ties, secrets, and loyalties protect her from justice?

Whether or not Rachel is guilty, her return is clearly not just another character comeback—it’s a reckoning.
