If Salem has someone who knows how to turn chaos into strength, it’s EJ DiMera.

While Abe is raging, EJ is still calmly running a series of shady projects: from a hospital charity fund to a questionable “new drug research” program.

But what has the audience buzzing is not his job, but… his heart has just changed.

According to information from Soap Opera Digest, EJ seems to be “falling in love” with Belle Brady, who already has a complicated connection with the DiMera family.

Everything starts out harmlessly – a few jokes, a few longer-than-usual glances – but for EJ, the line between strategy and emotion is never clear.

At the same time, Gwen – the woman who owes EJ a favor, is forced by him to become his “special assistant”. It seemed like just an administrative job, but Gwen was actually helping EJ cover up dirty deals. Many fans speculated that she was the link connecting EJ and Theo – and if so, the situation became even more complicated.

One night, EJ held a closed meeting in his office, the dim yellow light shining on his calculating face. Gwen walked in and whispered: “Mr. EJ, Abe is investigating.” EJ curled his lips: “Let him go. The deeper he goes, the more he falls into the trap.”
This scene made the audience shiver: was EJ about to launch a counterattack that would knock Abe down, or was Gwen – who was forced to serve him – going to turn the tables?

The drama became even more intense when Belle appeared in the middle of the night, asking directly: “Is there anything else you haven’t told me, EJ?” – and he replied: “Only this…” and then approached.
