On Days of Our Lives, EJ DiMera appears to be scheming to resurrect his late sister Lexie Carver as a means to influence her son Theo Carver's role at DiMera Enterprises. The storyline involves Dr. Rolf reviving a mystery woman from a test tube, with heavy foreshadowing pointing to Lexie. This move aligns with EJ's alliance with Abe Carver to keep Johnny DiMera in the CEO position.
In recent episodes of Days of Our Lives, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) is conspiring with Abe Carver (James Reynolds) to prevent Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) from returning to his CEO role at DiMera Enterprises following recovery from a traumatic brain injury sustained in a kidnapping. Theo has received clearance from his neurologist and expressed excitement about resuming work, though Abe worries about ongoing dangers associated with the family business.
EJ has promised Abe a plan to sideline Theo without revealing details, as the scheme involves Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) reviving a mystery woman preserved in a test tube in a secret DiMera lab. Speculation among viewers centers on this woman being Lexie Carver (Renee Jones), EJ's late sister and Theo's mother, who died from an inoperable brain tumor caused by toxin exposure during a kidnapping by Andre DiMera (Thaao Penghlis). EJ speaks affectionately to the figure and has name-dropped Lexie, fueling theories.
A winter promo depicts EJ showing a shocked Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) the woman in the tube, suggesting a dramatic reveal that could disrupt Paulina's marriage to Abe, given Lexie's past as the love of Abe's life. EJ's motivations include reuniting with his sister, ensuring Theo heeds Lexie's likely opposition to his DiMera involvement, and benefiting from the family power dynamics. Dr. Rolf has perfected a resurrection serum combined with Versix, a drug that aids brain cell regeneration, addressing past issues with flawed memories in revived individuals.
Meanwhile, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and EJ's assistant Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) are investigating the tightly secured lab at the hospital, unaware of the hidden inner chamber. Cat's brother, Dr. Mark Greene (Jonah Robinson), signed a strict NDA regarding the project. The storyline ties into broader DiMera maneuvers, with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) currently holding the CEO seat amid casting changes, including the impending exit of Johnny and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens) in about eight months.
This plot underscores ongoing family tensions and corporate intrigue at DiMera Enterprises.
