In the August 10 episode of Days of our Lives, Johnny learned more secrets that all have to do with EJ and his dirty deeds. Johnny knows about Lexie and her dying wish, and he has opted to keep the secret to himself.
Key Takeaways
- EJ put Johnny in an impossible position.
- Johnny lied to Theo.
- The secret could change Johnny just as his family needs him the most.
Johnny Keeping the Secret Was Unexpected
Ever since Johnny (Carson Boatma) made amends with EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), his father has been putting him in impossible situations. First, EJ asked Johnny to help him cover up the part DiMera Pharmaceuticals played in the tainted Coriseal, including giving Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) a clue to help Holly (Ashley Puzemis).
The latest secret that EJ asked his son to keep, though, was a doozy. It was shocking that EJ came clean with his son about Lexie (Nikki Crawford) dying.
However, what was even more shocking was that Johnny actually agreed to keep EJ’s secret. Johnny lied to a very desperate Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) and Lani (Sal Stowers) that EJ knew nothing about Lexie.
There are a couple of reasons Johnny could be keeping Lexie’s dying wish and her whereabouts a secret. One is, of course, that his father asked him. Another reason is that Johnny feels like he is honoring Lexie’s dying wish.
The other reason might be that the reality of what is happening with Lexie hasn’t hit him yet. Johnny wasted no time running to Theo to lie, when he really should have taken a beat to process what EJ told him.
Keeping This Secret Will Cost Johnny
Whatever the reason Johnny has chosen to keep this massive secret, it will come back to bite him. Let’s be honest, Johnny isn’t really the keep the secret type of guy. In the past, when he has done that, it has eaten him alive.
Time is of the essence for Lexie. If Abe (James Reynolds) and Theo don’t learn the truth soon, it will be too late. That guilt will be something that Johnny won’t be able to live with for sure.
Johnny isn’t built like EJ or Sami (Alison Sweeney), who are both experts at lying, scheming, and secret-keeping. However, the longer he keeps this major secret about Lexie, the more he might turn into his parents, and the timing couldn’t be worse.
Chanel (Raven Bowens) is preparing to give birth and then continue cancer treatment. Johnny keeping this secret will impact his happiness. Not to mention what Chanel and Theo will say when the truth comes out, because this is Salem, and the truth always comes out.
Will it be too late for Lexie by then? Will Johnny be the one to reveal Lexie’s dying? Keep watching DAYS to find out!
