Days of our lives: SHOCK RETURN! Dead Wife RISES to Steal Abe – Paulina’s Worst NIGHTMARE!
Days of Our Lives: SHOCK RETURN! Dead Wife RISES to Steal Abe – Paulina’s Worst NIGHTMARE! 😱🔥💔
Salem is officially on edge—and honestly, who can blame it? The air feels heavier, secrets are bubbling over, and that eerie green glow coming from a hidden lab is haunting everyone’s dreams. If you’ve been glued to Days of Our Lives lately, you already know something massive is brewing. This isn’t just another twist. This is the kind of storyline that rewrites history, reopens old wounds, and turns love into a battlefield.
At the center of it all? EJ DiMera. Calculated. Ruthless. Brilliant. And this time, his plan may be his darkest yet.
A Resurrection with a Purpose
Let’s start with the most chilling image Salem has seen in years: a mysterious woman suspended in a high-tech tube, bathed in an unnatural green light. Dr. Rolf—Salem’s resident mad scientist—is back at work, treating death like nothing more than a temporary inconvenience. Serums, experiments, whispers of miracles… all signs point to resurrection.
But here’s the thing: this isn’t random science gone wild. This is targeted. Intentional. Strategic.
EJ DiMera isn’t watching from the sidelines for curiosity’s sake. He’s overseeing this madness because he has an endgame. And no, it’s not just about proving Rolf can cheat death again. It’s about revenge.
Why Now? Why Her?
There’s been plenty of speculation about who might be inside that tube. Some fans tossed around names like Peter Blake or even Shawn Brady as test subjects—and sure, those returns would be dramatic. But let’s be real: none of them would cause the earth-shattering emotional fallout we’re being teased with.
This story demands someone whose return would devastate Salem’s current power structure. Someone whose very existence would turn love into chaos and security into heartbreak.
That person? Lexi Carver.
The Case for Lexi Carver
All the clues point in one direction, and they’re not subtle if you know where to look.
Lexi’s death in 2012 was one of the rare Days moments that felt permanent. She died from an inoperable brain tumor, peacefully, in Abe’s arms. It was heartbreaking, final… or so we thought.
Fast forward to recent storylines, and suddenly miracle cures are back in play. We learned that the drug Versix could cure the very condition that killed Lexi—the same type of tumor Bo Brady survived thanks to experimental treatment.
Now ask yourself: if EJ discovered that such a cure existed, would he stop at saving strangers? Or would he move heaven and hell to bring back the sister he truly loved?
EJ’s behavior seals the deal. He doesn’t speak to the person in the tube like a villain gloating over a prize. He’s gentle. Emotional. Regretful. He apologizes—specifically about Theo.
Who else would that apology be for, if not Theo’s mother?
The Foreshadowing Is Loud
Soap fans know one thing for sure: when characters start being mentioned out of nowhere, it’s never accidental. Recently, Lexi’s name has been popping up more and more in conversations involving Abe and Theo. Lines about what Lexi “would have wanted.” Comments about how she’d feel if she were still alive.
That’s not nostalgia. That’s setup.
Then came the winter promo—the real smoking gun. Dr. Rolf looks at the tube and softly says, “I hope you’re ready, my girl.”
Game over. The mystery person is female.
And when Rafe Hernandez stumbles into the lab and sees what’s inside, the shock on his face says it all. That’s not a man seeing a criminal mastermind or an old enemy. That’s a man staring at a ghost.
EJ’s Real Target: Paulina Price
Now here’s where the story turns from emotional to downright diabolical.
EJ isn’t doing this out of pure love for his sister. This is EJ DiMera. There is always another motive. And this time, his target is Paulina Price.
Paulina and EJ have never been allies. Their clashes have been sharp, personal, and increasingly vicious. But things crossed a line when Paulina began encouraging Johnny to distance himself from his father—to reject the DiMera legacy entirely.
To EJ, that is unforgivable.
So how does he strike back at a woman who has money, influence, and the mayor’s office on her side? You don’t attack her power. You attack her heart.
Turning Love into a Weapon
Paulina’s greatest strength—and greatest vulnerability—is Abe Carver.
She loves him deeply. Their marriage represents stability, unity, and power in Salem. But EJ knows the truth that everyone else does too: Lexi Carver was the love of Abe’s life. His soulmate. The woman he never truly stopped mourning.
So what happens when Lexi wakes up?
She hasn’t aged. She remembers her life, her marriage, her son. She wants Abe. She wants her family back.
Abe, honorable and decent as he is, would be shattered. Even if he tries to stand by Paulina, his attention, his emotions, his heart would inevitably be pulled toward Lexi.
Paulina would be left watching her perfect world crack—humiliated, sidelined, and heartbroken.
And EJ? He gets to stand back and watch it all unfold.
A Hero and a Villain at the Same Time
The brilliance of EJ’s plan is that he wins no matter what.
To Abe and Theo, he’s the hero—the man who corrected a terrible wrong and reunited a family torn apart by death. After all, Lexi’s original death traces back to DiMera sins, to Andre and the toxic tunnels.
By bringing Lexi back, EJ erases that stain from the family legacy.
But to Paulina, he’s the villain who resurrected her worst nightmare and unleashed it into her marriage.
It’s emotional warfare at its finest.
What Happens Next?
As February sweeps approach, all signs point to an explosive payoff. The serum will work. There may be test runs—Peter, Shawn, or someone else—but Lexi is the endgame.
When she steps out of that tube, Salem will never be the same.
Paulina will fight. She won’t go down without a battle. But how do you compete with a dead wife who’s suddenly alive, untouched by time, and still deeply loved?
You don’t.
And somewhere in the shadows, EJ DiMera will be watching, glass of scotch in hand, knowing he orchestrated every painful second.
Final Thoughts
So what do you think? Is Lexi truly the woman in the tube, or is there one final twist waiting to blindside us all? Could it possibly be someone else—another long-lost soul from Salem’s past?
And if Lexi does return… where do your loyalties lie?
Team Paulina? Or Team Lexi?
One thing is certain: this storyline is about to spark a full-blown fandom civil war—and honestly? We’re not ready. 😈🔥
