If we talk about the highlight of this week, nothing is more shocking than Kristen DiMera being kidnapped – no suicide note, no text, no evidence. Just a long, cold void in the film that makes the whole Salem shake.

Kristen is a character that no one can predict: mysterious, powerful, sometimes dangerous.

But her sudden disappearance makes everyone take a look again.

When the spoiler revealed the image of Kristen being hooded and dragged into a strange car, the audience immediately asked the question: Who was brave enough to kidnap Kristen DiMera?

Brady Black was the first to suspect something was wrong. When he couldn’t contact Kristen, he rushed to find Rachel – Kristen’s daughter – to reassure her. But Rachel was the first to say something that sent chills down the audience’s spine: “Mommy didn’t leave. Mommy’s in trouble.”

The scene of Rachel crying, leaning on Brady’s chest made many fans cry. Because for Rachel, Kristen was both a light and a dark place – but her mother. When her mother disappeared, Rachel’s sense of emptiness made the investigation spiral out of control.

Meanwhile, the Salem police began to narrow down the suspects. Strangely: there were no signs of assault at Kristen’s house – which suggested the perpetrator was someone she knew, or someone who could approach without raising suspicion.

Viewers also noticed the image of EJ DiMera appearing with an unreadable face, as if he was hiding something. Eric and Belle suspected EJ immediately, because the complicated relationship between EJ and Kristen was never clean enough to eliminate him from the list.

A small but important detail: a car appeared near the scene – the type of car that is usually only used by people in the DiMera family. This increased suspicion that Kristen’s captor was related to her own family.

DOOL fans believe this will be a long arc, one in which Kristen will be imprisoned in a secret location, facing a hidden enemy. It could be someone who has sworn to destroy the DiMera, or someone who wants to take something that only Kristen has.

The biggest question: Is Kristen being held hostage… or is she being silenced because she knows too much?
