Days of our lives spoilers: HOT HOT- Rachel drops new bombshell, admits EJ’s shooter wasn’t Johnny

🎭 TV Drama Digest Recap: The Rachel Black Fallout Shakes Salem to Its Core! 🎭

Devoted fans of Days of Our Lives, grab your popcorn—and your tissues—because Salem is unraveling faster than a Demera family secret. This week’s TV Days Drama Digest takes you deep into the eye of the storm: Rachel Black’s explosive accusation, Johnny’s crumbling world, Kristen’s looming downfall, and EJ’s brush with death that set it all in motion.

🔥 The Shot That Shattered Salem

EJ Demera—power player, master manipulator, and head of the Demera dynasty—was gunned down in what appeared to be a heated confrontation gone wrong. Rachel Black, the troubled young woman at the heart of the storm, claims she witnessed Johnny with the weapon just moments before the shot rang out.

But here’s the twist—we, the audience, know Johnny is innocent. He left the room in frustration, gun in hand, but crucially, before the shooting. Rachel’s testimony? Devastating. But is it truth… or calculated fiction?

😱 Rachel Black: Manipulator or Misguided?

Rachel has always been a complicated figure—part victim, part wildcard. Viewers have seen her spiral for years, caught between Kristen’s manipulations and a traumatic upbringing. But now she’s wielding her instability like a weapon, tearing at the fabric of Salem’s most powerful family.

Is she intentionally framing Johnny to protect someone else? Or is she a lost soul who can no longer distinguish fantasy from fact?

🧨 The Kristen Conundrum

Now comes the rumored twist: Rachel may be preparing to throw Kristen under the bus—her own mother.

Yes, Kristen, no stranger to villainy, might find herself accused of attempting to murder her brother. Rachel allegedly plans to shift blame, perhaps in a desperate act of self-preservation—or a masterstroke of manipulation.

If Rachel does this, it’s not just a betrayal. It’s a declaration of war inside the Demera family. And if Kristen ends up in Statesville based on Rachel’s word, it would mark one of the most tragic downfalls in the show’s recent history.

⚖️ Courtroom Chaos and Collapsing Loyalties

Johnny’s trial is approaching like a freight train, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Chanel is standing by her man, but Rachel’s accusations are taking a toll even on her ironclad faith. Meanwhile, Kristen teeters on the edge of ruin, and Stefan, Gabby, and Brady are circling like vultures, each with their own agendas.

The courtroom promises bombshells, betrayals, and a reckoning no fan will forget.

💔 The Fallout Is Far From Over

The consequences of Rachel’s actions are tearing Salem apart. The Demera mansion is divided, trust is eroding, and the Brady Pub is buzzing with speculation. Everyone wants to know:

• Who really shot EJ?
• Will Rachel turn on Kristen?
• Can Johnny be saved before it’s too late?
