Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Is EJ DiMera Really Dead or Will Kristen Bring Him Back to Life?

Monday's episode of the long-time running NBC soap 'Days of Our Lives' showed Sami Brady saying goodbye to her husband EJ, who was laid out on a table at the Salem Hospital morgue, after being shot and killed in Salem Park.

However, as the news of the death spread out, further drama ensued, and the old DiMera phoned daughter Kristen with instructions, telling her that "time is of the essence."

Kristen snuck into the morgue to find her brother's dead body lying on a table. She then held out a syringe filled with a mysterious liquid and injected it into EJ's lifeless arm.

DOOL fans were now wondering if EJ's death was real or not. On social media sites, various rumors and theories have quickly been sparked, and some are arguing that EJ could have been intentionally put into a type of coma and that the serum will wake him up from his slumber.

Others suggest that the main character is really out of the show for good, and that he won't be making a dramatic comeback. The latter theory enraged some fans who argued that EJ deserved to go out with a "bigger bang."

It has already been known among DOOL viewers that James Scott's character as well as Alison Sweeney's Sami will be leaving the soap this month.

Now, rumors are suggesting that EJ could be faking his death, and that this would give both Sami and EJ an opening should the writers want to bring back Scott and Sweeney into the show at a later date. TV Fanatic also pointed out the possibility that the showrunners might have wanted to recast the roles in the future.

Stay tuned for more updates.
