A Completely Uninformed (and Therefore Not a Spoiler) Theory on EJ’s Shooting

My initial theory was that one of the criminals targeting Doug³ mistakenly shot EJ. That would neatly set the stage for Holly and Doug³ to investigate the crime together, initiating a romantic subplot and offering Doug³ a path to redemption with Julie.

However, EJ clearly recognized his assailant—unless there were multiple shooters, which would be excessive even by Salem standards.

Revised theory: it was Sami. I feel like, the only way she knows that Johnny knows about the rape is if EJ told her. Rafe will uncover the truth via the bug he planted in EJ’s living room and opts to keep Sami’s secret (after they sleep together while he's on a 'break' from Jada).

When EJ regains consciousness, he chooses not to expose Sami. Instead, he leverages the situation to blackmail Rafe, protecting himself from prosecution.

I wonder if the new writers tweaked this storyline in anyway. Or changed who the shooter was

I just saw the DAYs official Instagram account reposted that nu-Rachel is starting next week.

An interesting time in the story for a recast in order to “take the character in a new direction”🤔
