Days of our Lives spoilers, April 3: EJ DiMera takes a bullet to the chest

Here are your Days of our Lives spoilers for Thursday, April 3, 2025.

What to expect on Days of our Lives

EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) thought he had won it all when she sat down for a drink in the DiMera living room. He said a toast to himself as he spoke to his father's portrait, but then he saw someone mysterious walk into the room.

That mysterious someone is set to pull the trigger on EJ, setting into motion a whole new story with a 'whodunit' theme. Multiple characters will be seen with guns on Thursday, including Roman (Josh Taylor) and Kate (Lauren Koslow). Ava is also seen getting rid of a gun in what is Tamara Braun's last airdate during this latest Salem run. Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) is also a suspect as she had already taken a gun to EJ a few weeks ago and was willing to do it again.

Rafe (Galen Gering) and Jada (Elia Cantu) also had motive, but they still wanted to bring EJ down the legal way.

Chad (Billy Flynn) finds EJ lying in a pool of blood on the floor. He calls the paramedics and rushes his brother to the hospital. Cat is there to lend her support to a frantic Chad. He and EJ were close at one time, so he might be the only person left in Salem who truly cares for the man.

Chanel fears for Johnny

Johnny (Carson Boatman) was also seen lifting the gun from the lockbox at The Brady Pub. He was as angry at his father as ever, but would he really shoot him? EJ seemed to fear the person he saw, but he wouldn't fear his son, right?

Chanel (Raven Bowens) sees Johnny in a distraught state and worries about her husband. She's coming off her own confrontation with EJ in which she read her father-in-law for filth. However, Chanel is not the violent type and was not seen with a gun. She will also need to be there for Johnny when he learns what happened to his dad.

If Johnny and Chanel were still hoping to salvage this adoption, EJ being shot right in his own home would be enough to scare Amy Choi (She Ni Nielson) away for the final time.
