For many episodes, viewers have been eagerly anticipating the reveal of who shot EJ DiMera in Days of Our Lives. The previous developments witnessed Johnny confessing that he was present on the night EJ was shot. He also admitted that he had taken Roman’s gun and aimed at his father. However, he reiterated several times that he didn’t pull the trigger and that another individual was responsible for the shooting. Recently, Josh Taylor, who plays Roman, provided an interesting take on a potential suspect. Here are the details.
Josh Taylor says even Roman could have shot EJ in Days of Our Lives
In an interview with Woman’s World, Taylor discussed the cast’s transition from the emotional scene of paying John Black last respect to the now suspenseful storyline surrounding EJ’s shooting. He said, “That’s being an actor, and going to those different places is a very fun part of the job. We’ve done some really out there stuff on Days, like going to the island. I was part of that [2003] Salem Stalker story, and it was fun to play. It was also nice knowing I would come back!”
He further shared his thoughts on the ongoing mystery surrounding EJ’s shooting, noting that several potential suspects could have committed the heinous act, including himself. He added, “When I shot that scene where Roman put the gun back in the box, I thought of all different people who have access and realized, ‘Damn, that’s a lot of us that could have done it!’ Even I could have done it.”
Appreciating the suspenseful build-up in the EJ shooting storyline and Daniel Feuerriegel’s performance, he said, “It’s amazing how many people are possible suspects — and with good reason! EJ’s not exactly going to be voted most popular. What a great character, and Dan Feuerriegel’s so good at it.”
Apart from giving his take on the current storyline, Taylor also revealed that his friends from high school often ask him if he is planning to retire. However, he mentioned that he likely won’t anytime soon, as he is having a fun time.
