Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Kristen is shocked to discover Rachel shot EJ
Did Rachel Black Shoot EJ Dera? A Shocking Twist in Salem
Welcome back to TV’s Drama Digest! Today, we dive into a wild fan theory that has Days of Our Lives viewers buzzing: Did young Rachel Black shoot her uncle, EJ Dera?
The speculation started with EJ’s words seconds before the gunshot: “What are you doing?”—suggesting he recognized the person, not an unknown attacker.
This small detail has led many to believe the shooter was someone close… perhaps even family.
Rachel, the daughter of Kristen Dera, fits the theory. As EJ’s niece, she has full access to the Dera mansion.
Insiders say Kristen keeps a weapon hidden, and Rachel might know exactly where it is. But why would a child do something so extreme?
The possible motive? The disappearance of Rachel’s grandmother, also named Rachel. Kristen suspects EJ was involved.
A heated argument between them may have been overheard by young Rachel—perhaps while she was hiding nearby. Hearing her mother accuse EJ could have confused and scared her, pushing her to act out of loyalty.
Salem’s kids are no strangers to chaos. Raised in a family full of lies and schemes, Rachel may have misunderstood the situation and taken matters into her own hands.
If Rachel did pull the trigger, the fallout could be massive. Kristen, known for protecting her daughter at all costs, might go into full cover-up mode—hiding evidence or blaming someone else. But could even she bear the guilt of what her daughter has done?
And what about the rest of the Dera family? If they find out the truth, Kristen could face backlash from EJ’s brothers, like Tony or Chad, demanding justice.
Whether EJ survives or not, Rachel could be left with deep trauma. Would Kristen risk everything—manipulation, blackmail, or legal tricks—to keep her daughter safe? And would EJ reveal the truth, or stay silent for the family’s sake?
No matter how this plays out, Salem is bracing for a storm. If Rachel is the shooter, the impact could shake the Dera family to its core.
Is this theory too far-fetched, or exactly the kind of drama that keeps fans hooked? One thing’s certain—nothing stays secret in Salem for long.
