On the October 5 episode of Days of our Lives, Belle and Jada were giddy with excitement at the thought that Johnny had finally given them enough evidence to put EJ behind bars for good. What a shame neither one noticed that Belle just blew the whole thing.
Key Takeaways
- Johnny goes on the record about EJ’s role in the DiMera Pharma crimes.
- Belle’s questioning helps Johnny distance himself from his own involvement.
- Belle’s personal ties to Johnny and EJ could create a major problem for the case.
Johnny Goes on the Record Against EJ
Johnny (Carson Boatman) told Sydney (Sydney Malakeh) he’d made up his mind — he was ready to spill all about his dad’s role in Holly’s (Ashley Puzemis) poisoning and Destiny’s death.
Sydney wasn’t happy about it, but Chanel (Raven Bowens) was, so Johnny went ahead with it. He dismissed his attorney and told Jada (Elia Cantu) and Belle (Martha Madison) everything he knew. On the record.
Johnny Turns Whistleblower, But Is He Really the Hero?
Johnny went on and on about everything EJ (Dan Feuerriegel, who recently posted about his love of comics) did, and how Johnny was bravely coming forward to implicate the entire family company.
Belle asked Johnny questions. Very specific questions. Questions that helped Johnny articulate how he wasn’t even a little bit guilty for the crimes of his father. Even the ones he knew about, but kept quiet for weeks.
Belle’s Conflict of Interest Could Blow Up the Entire Case
It’s bad enough that Belle is Johnny’s aunt. (She may not be crazy about her sister, Sami [Alison Sweeney], but Belle loves Johnny.) It’s bad enough that Belle had an affair with EJ.
But the fact that Belle is Johnny’s aunt, had an affair with EJ, and is deposing him as the District Attorney is really, really bad. Like, bad enough to get the whole case thrown out by an even vaguely competent defense attorney. Belle and Jada are so excited. They really shouldn’t be.
