ParticipantAfter much thought, and having read some spoilers, I think EJ’s shooter is Rachel—Brady’s and Kristin’s daughter. Here is why I think it’s her. When it was announced that a new actress would portray Rachel, the OG Rachel’s mother said the character was getting too dark for her to allow her daughter to play the role. Then I read that something will be “off” with Rachel. It’s not too hard to believe that Rachel could have faked being asleep and taken the gun Kristen took from Rachel Blake. Then used it to shoot EJ for getting rid of her grandmother. Rachel is always nosey and aware of what’s going on, I don’t think it’s a stretch to believe she would carry out revenge on EJ. This way, the character stays and because she’s a child, she doesn’t go to jail, but maybe somewhere for mentally disturbed children.

ParticipantThis sounds like a very plausible theory–makes total sense, especially with the upcoming “new” Rachel being brought onto the show. I hope it is Rachel because for once, maybe Kristen will seen what her sick obsession with Brady has done to her daughter and accept the blame. The fact that Kristen mentioned going to check on her daughter multiple times makes this theory even more believable.

ParticipantAfter watching the episodes since EJs shooting, it does seem like Rachel could be the shooter. She’s very observant of what is going on in her family dynamic, sneaky enough to get Kristen’s gun, use it to shoot EJ and then return it, and was ok with Grandma Blake knocking out Ava and holding her hostage. She definitely has some mental/emotional issues. Also, during the investigation they have mentioned several times that Rachel was upstairs asleep.
If Rachel did do the shooting, it will be quite a story as to who figures it out, Kristen, Brady, or the Salem PD. Perhaps she’ll even confess.April 8, 2025 at 8:22 pm #61541doolfan
ParticipantI wonder what Rafe found on the recording device he planted in the DiMera living room. Perhaps he knows who shot EJ or has some good clues about it.

ParticipantHe should know with that device in hand. I am on another board and the theories all seem plausible. A lot of people think when EJ said, “what are you doing?” That that was a clue it was someone in the house. He didn’t say what are you doing here. He was also seated, and the shooter seemed to be at eye level, not above him like an adult. These are all theories leading to Rachel. After watching yesterday’s show with Kristen getting caught with the gun, I fee like she might know that Rachel did it and she has to get rid of the gun. There also was an interview with Martha Madison and she said all of the suspects are red herrings. We haven’t seen Rachel as a suspect, so could be her. Other names thrown out that haven’t been referred to as suspects are Sophie and her mother. I seriously doubt it would be either one, but again, I think there is a need for it to be a minor character or a minor who couldn’t go to jail.

ParticipantI don’t think it’s Sophia or her mother. I still think it could be Rita but right now Rachel seems to be the most likely. It would also lead into some very interesting storylines for now and into the future.
With Gabi’s flashbacks we saw yesterday, I wonder if she saw who did it as she stood outside peering into the DiMera living room. If it was Rachel, that could cause Gabi to have a moral dilemma as to what to do and who to tell.

ParticipantI just want Rafe to see if his hidden camera caught anything. I also can’t wait for forensics to be done on the bullet.

ParticipantWhen the bullet wasn’t at Salem PD and then Kayla found it at the hospital, I had to wonder if there will be more to that story or if it was to just fill time and throw us off the track.

ParticipantWhat is the other board you are on? Do you recommend it?
