Days of Our Lives sees Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) threw the courtroom right into a frenzy when she burst in and falsely confessed to taking pictures her brother. Greater than something, Kristen desires the key that Rachel Black (Alice Halsey) shot EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) to remain hidden, however that appears not possible.
We’re going to speak about Kristen’s desperation to maintain up the ruse to guard Rachel. Actually, how lengthy is that this tragic secret going to stay hidden? It’s uncertain it will probably final eternally. Let’s get proper into how this might come out.
Kristen DiMera’s Stunning Confession: Defending Rachel Black
Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is a free man, and his aunt Kristen is within the slammer. She will not be an harmless individual by any means, however she’s often anyone who medicine individuals, molests them, tries to steal embryos, and performs blackmail video games. Taking pictures her brother is a little bit exterior of Kristen’s sample of conduct, however much more so, confessing to a criminal offense is.
Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) was occupied with her spontaneous, court-disrupting confession and calling it into query when he was speaking to his brother. After all, EJ was attempting to quell Chad’s doubts in order that he might maintain his phrase to Kristen to not let anyone know the reality.
The deal was EJ wouldn’t inform anyone what Rachel did. To be honest, EJ doesn’t wish to traumatize Rachel any additional. No less than EJ has the perception to grasp his personal actions did drive Rachel to drag that gun on him. Then once more, Kristen was neck deep in that Rachel Black mess as effectively.
Simply as EJ would do something to guard Johnny, Kristen is feeling the identical means about Rachel. Kristen operating in there to admit to taking pictures EJ simply earlier than the decision got here out was fairly selfless. Numerous dad and mom, I believe, would do what Kristen did.
The Secret Circle: Who Is aware of Rachel Shot EJ?
Proper now, only a few individuals know that Rachel shot EJ. There’s the sufferer himself, her mother Kristen, and Rachel’s beloved grandma, Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Corridor). All of them agreed to maintain it hush-hush in the interim—actually, eternally if they will—as a result of proper now, little Rachel has dissociative amnesia, in accordance with Marlena. The kiddo has no thought she shot Uncle EJ.
And discovering out that she did can be very traumatic for Rachel. All that being stated, I believe it’s solely a matter of time earlier than phrase begins spreading of who actually shot EJ. The large query is, will it grow to be extensively identified public data round Salem that Rachel shot EJ? Or will a couple of extra individuals discover out after which in addition they agree to sit down on that massive secret?
Kristen’s Secret Much like Philip’s on Days of Our Lives
It’s sort of like with the Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) forgery factor. First, it was him and Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel), after which Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) was pulled into it. After which it wound up with Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein).
Then Belle Black (Martha Madison), and Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). They have been all masking for Philip for one cause or one other. Though extra individuals have came upon to this point, it’s nonetheless not extensively identified in Salem that Xander Cook dinner (Paul Telfer) and the choose have been duped by Philip’s scheme. After all, Xander is aware of, nevertheless it’s nonetheless largely underneath wraps.
DiMera DNA: Kristen and Rachel’s Troubled Previous
That has me questioning who finds out subsequent that Kristen lied concerning the taking pictures to save lots of her solely baby, Rachel. Proper now, Marlena does see Kristen’s actions as selfless and protecting, the actions of a superb mother, particularly once they have been speaking about the perfect factor to do for Rachel’s psychological well being.
In most eventualities, Kristen is often all about Kristen. Though she genuinely loves Rachel, now we have seen Kristen commit quite a few dastardly deeds within the identify of affection on Days of Our Lives that harm her daughter. In a roundabout way like this, however that had her daughter as collateral harm, together with occasions when Kristen has been in jail and Rachel’s been heartbroken about it.
On the flip facet, we’ve additionally seen little troublemaker Rachel wreaking havoc and ruining her dad Brady Black‘s (Eric Martsolf) relationship. Now the tween child has gone and shot her uncle EJ, though he claims it was unintended. So there are points there, and I believe all of it comes from Kristen’s DNA, if we’re being trustworthy about that.
Rachel’s Misery and Sarah’s Revelation: The Reality Unfolds
Proper now, we’ve obtained Rachel very distraught that her mother Kristen is in jail for taking pictures EJ. It’s consuming her up. When Sarah noticed Brady and Rachel exterior the pub, Rachel informed Sarah she’s very unhappy about her mother being in jail, and Sarah gave Rachel a giant hug.
Some time again, our dependable leaker informed us that Sarah goes to seek out out from Rachel that she’s the one who shot EJ. However Sarah shouldn’t discover that out for some time as a result of Rachel herself nonetheless doesn’t do not forget that she shot EJ. I believe sooner or later it’s all going to return flooding again to Rachel.
Brady Livid with Kristen on Days of Our Lives
As for Brady, he has no cause to doubt Kristen’s confession as a result of Brady is aware of precisely how terrible Kristen could be, and he walked out on her in jail, promising she’d by no means see Rachel once more. I do assume Marlena might encourage Brady to point out some grace to Kristen, and that alone ought to increase Brady’s suspicions.
That’s not going to really feel fairly proper to him. I additionally suspect Marlena might encourage Brady to take Rachel to see Kristen whereas she’s behind bars for each of their sakes. However Kristen did make promise secrecy about Rachel. So Brady might get an inkling that one thing’s not fairly proper on Days of our Lives.
I don’t know if he’ll determine it out on his personal. I’m guessing Marlena received’t crack, however as soon as Rachel remembers and tells Sarah, I believe all bets are off. I do assume Sarah would possibly inform Brady the terrible reality simply so he could be a higher and supportive dad to Rachel throughout this ordeal.
Investigative Journalism in Salem: Chad and Leo Uncover the Reality
In the meantime, Chad nonetheless has questions. In Days of Our Lives spoilers for this week, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) and Chad are speaking about the entire Kristen confession whereas they’re on the Spectator workplace. Leo already desires to put in writing a novel or an exposé, a ebook about his time as a juror in Johnny’s trial.
Chad might encourage Leo to do some digging, some investigative journalism, and uncover the reality as a result of it simply doesn’t add up about Kristen. Once more, I believe Chad believes Kristen is able to taking pictures EJ. Half of Salem needed him lifeless, and the DiMeras have taken pictures at one another.
Nevertheless it’s the truth that Kristen confessed that’s wildly out of character for her and has Chad scratching his head. Plus, Leo stated Johnny was going to be discovered not responsible, and Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) EJ. With Gwen dwelling on the mansion, she might get suspicious.
She might even go see Kristen in Statesville, begin asking questions. Gwen additionally is aware of Kristen confessing will not be her common modus operandi. So it could possibly be that Gwen retains pushing Kristen, and he or she snaps and eventually tells Gwen the reality, but additionally swears her to secrecy. In that case, Gwen might attempt to discover a technique to get Kristen out of this jail sentence.
Rachel’s Future: A Juvenile Sentence and a Dramatic Return to Salem
I do count on Rachel to recollect, and when she does, there’s an opportunity she might even go confess to get her mother Kristen out of jail. Excellent news is Rachel would in all probability solely get a shorter sentence, not a life sentence. She’d in all probability be despatched to Bayview’s juvenile visitor wing.
Then, they might write Rachel out for a few years after which do a hiatus, convey her again as a young person recent out of Bayview to terrorize Kristen and Brady with excessive teenage antics. I believe that will be fairly attention-grabbing. I’m excited to see who finds out the reality about Rachel first.
