Alright, fellow Salemites, grab your strongest coffee and settle in, because the latest Days of Our Lives spoilers hitting DailyDrama.com have sent shivers down my spine – and not just because it’s a chilly Monday morning! We’re hearing whispers, nay, full-blown shouts from the spoiler Gods that the week of July 27-26, 2026, is going to be HUGE for our favorite (or least favorite, depending on the day) DiMera prince, EJ! The intel suggests that Susan Banks (the incomparable Stacy Haiduk) pays a visit to EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) just before his ‘evil plans’ begin to unravel. Folks, if that doesn’t scream ‘impending doom and delicious drama,’ I don’t know what does!
Susan Banks is Back – And That Means Trouble for EJ!
Let’s be real, when Susan Banks shows up, it’s rarely for a casual cup of tea and a chat about the weather. Our beloved, eccentric, and psychically gifted Susan has a knack for appearing exactly when a DiMera is either in deep trouble, about to cause deep trouble, or needs to hear a truth bomb dropped directly into their arrogant lap. Remember her many ‘deaths’ and resurrections? Each time, she’s come back with a purpose, often tied to her son, EJ, or her ‘Elvis’ (John Black, played by the legendary Drake Hogestyn). Her maternal instincts, combined with her otherworldly visions, make her the ultimate harbinger of fate in Salem. If Susan is visiting EJ, it’s not to congratulate him on a successful quarter at DiMera Enterprises; it’s because she senses a storm brewing, and our dear EJ is right at its eye.
What ‘Evil Plans’ Are We Talking About, EJ?
Now, the million-dollar question: what exactly are these ‘evil plans’ that are about to blow up in EJ’s face? Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? EJ DiMera has a rich, complicated, and often nefarious history. From his early days as the son of Stefano DiMera (the one and only Joseph Mascolo) and his tumultuous relationship with Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney), EJ has always been driven by power, ambition, and a sometimes-misguided sense of what’s best for his family – usually himself at the top. Whether it was his fake marriage to Sami, his constant power struggles with Chad (Billy Flynn) and Stefan (Brandon Barash) for control of DiMera Enterprises, or his more recent machinations to consolidate power and influence, EJ consistently walks that fine line between anti-hero and full-blown villain.
Currently, EJ is married to Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), a woman who, let’s be honest, has always been drawn to the drama and danger of a DiMera. Is his unraveling tied to their marriage? Is he double-crossing someone in business? Has he found a way to manipulate Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) or even his own son, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), for his own gain? Could he be secretly working against Sloan Petersen (Jessica Serfaty) or even his own family members? The possibilities are endless when it comes to EJ. He’s a shark in a tailored suit, and he’s always circling.
The Prophetic Power of Susan Banks
Susan’s visits have a track record of setting major events in motion. I’m flashing back to her warnings about the DiMera curse, her insights into various possession storylines, and her uncanny ability to suss out a lie. When she appeared after EJ’s ‘death’ and resurrection, she was instrumental in helping him regain his memories and re-enter Salem society, albeit with a new face (Dan Feuerriegel took over from James Scott, and what a transition it’s been!). Her love for her son is fierce, but her moral compass, though sometimes quirky, usually points true north. If she’s there to warn him, it means EJ is truly on the precipice of something catastrophic.
What Does ‘Unravel’ Mean for EJ and Salem?
The word ‘unravel’ is key here. It suggests a slow, painful dismantling of EJ’s schemes, rather than an instantaneous explosion. This means we’re in for a treat, folks! We’ll get to see the meticulous deconstruction of whatever web of deceit EJ has woven. Will it be a public downfall? A personal one? Will Nicole finally realize that EJ’s charm hides a ruthless ambition that she can no longer tolerate? Will Chad or Stefan finally get the upper hand at DiMera Enterprises? My money is on a combination of all of the above, with significant repercussions for the entire DiMera family and beyond.
This spoiler has me absolutely buzzing with anticipation! The return of Susan Banks always adds a layer of delightful chaos and undeniable heart to any storyline. Her unique blend of humor, love, and psychic insight is exactly what Salem needs right now to shake things up. EJ has been flying high for a while, seemingly untouchable. But with Susan’s arrival, the writing is on the wall. The chickens are coming home to roost, and I, for one, can’t wait to see the feathers fly!
