Days of Our Lives SAD NEWS: EJ in Critical Condition, Johnny’s Desperate Plea in the Hospital

Chaos erupts at the DiMera mansion when a gunshot shatters the night, leaving EJ critically wounded and fighting for his life. What should have been another power struggle within the family has turned into a full-blown mystery with deadly consequences. As EJ lies unconscious in a hospital bed, the race to uncover the shooter begins—because in Salem, no secret stays buried for long.

Johnny is devastated. His relationship with EJ had already been strained, but now, seeing his father on the brink of death, the pain becomes unbearable. With EJ in a coma, unable to defend himself or reveal who pulled the trigger, the list of suspects continues to grow. Kristen is furious over Rachel’s disappearance and blames EJ, Ava is unstable and desperate, and Chad and Stefan both have lingering grudges. Even Johnny himself isn’t safe from suspicion, as his recent conflicts with EJ put him directly in the spotlight. Could his anger have driven him too far?

As the days pass, Salem is gripped with tension. The longer EJ remains unresponsive, the more his enemies have time to cover their tracks. But amid the whispers of betrayal, Johnny reaches a breaking point. In a heartbreaking hospital scene, he sits beside EJ’s bedside, his voice trembling as he pleads, “Dad, wake up. Let me fix this.” It’s a moment of reckoning—one that could either begin a path to redemption or mark the beginning of an even deeper tragedy.

When EJ wakes up, one truth will change everything. Will he name his shooter, or will his silence be the most dangerous weapon of all?
