Days Of Our Lives Spoilers: Eric Martsolf Hints At Rachel’s Possible Guilt In EJ’s Shooting

Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates tease that numerous fans are speculating whether Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) might be responsible for EJ DiMera’s (Dan Feuerriegel) shooting.

Eric Martsolf (Brady Black) seemingly dropped a hint regarding his TV daughter’s involvement; In a recent interview with SOD, Martsolf discussed the show’s choice to recast Rachel’s role.

Rachel’s Recast Will Arrive April 24

Rachel originally was played by Finley Rose Slater, and with Alice Halsey preparing to take on the role starting April 24, Martsolf opened up about his feelings. Initially, he admitted to having serious doubts about the decision to recast Rachel, especially since he believed Slater excelled in the role and was reluctant to part with her portrayal.

However, over time, Eric Martsolf came to grasp the rationale behind the change. It appears that this decision is rooted in the storyline and will become clear once the new material is presented on screen.

Rachel Has Matured With The New Actress In The Role

Martsolf discussed the evolution of the character with Halsey portraying Rachel, highlighting her significant contributions. While he couldn’t divulge any specific plot points for the show, he did suggest that Rachel might play a crucial role in the mystery surrounding EJ’s shooter.

‘What I can share is that Rachel’s character will become increasingly central and vital in upcoming story arcs that demand some serious acting skills,’ Martsolf mentioned.

Essentially, he recognized that Rachel needed to mature for the narrative’s progression. Halsey’s involvement suggests she will guide Rachel through more complex themes, prompting us to consider the implications of this development.

Rachel Supposedly Slept Through EJ’s Shooting

It is said that Rachel was asleep during EJ’s shooting, but we only have Kristen DiMera’s (Stacy Haiduk) account to rely on. Kristen might be shielding Rachel, or perhaps Rachel hurried back upstairs and slipped into bed unnoticed after the incident.

Rachel had a reason to confront EJ, given that he had sent her Grandma Rachel Blake (Ros Gentle) away and had been making threats towards Kristen.

It’s possible that Rachel lost control, grabbed a weapon, and shot at EJ that night. According to the spoilers for the days ahead, EJ’s strange behavior will take Kristen by surprise during the week of April 21-25.

What If EJ Remembers Rachel With A Gun?

What if EJ recalls a moment with Rachel involving a gun and chooses to keep that memory from Kristen? While EJ often comes across as a troublemaker, he has a tender side when it comes to his niece and may feel compelled to protect her.

Is it possible that Rachel attempted to eliminate EJ; regardless, Eric Martsolf is certain that DOOL fans will be thrilled with Halsey’s introduction.

Martsolf was immediately impressed by Halsey’s performance, leading him to predict some exciting developments on the horizon. Upcoming spoilers for the NBC Peacock soap suggest that Rachel might be concealing some unsettling information, so stay tuned for updates on this intriguing mystery.
