June 30 DAYS Spoilers Hint EJ's Loyalty to Johnny Could Cost Him Everything
Days of our Lives spoilers for Monday, June 30 end the month with EJ convinced that Johnny didn't shoot him — or, at least, that's his story, and EJ is sticking with it. Johnny (Carson Boatman) told Marlena (Deidre Hall) and Roman (Josh Taylor) that he pointed a gun at EJ, and there's a bullet missing from said gun. But he didn't shoot his dad. Marlena and Roman believe him completely. Their grandson is a good person! (When he's not possessed by the devil.) EJ (Dan Feuerriegel), on the other hand, does think Johnny tried to kill him. But EJ is so guilty about driving Johnny to it that he's willing to cover up — a crime Johnny claims he didn't commit. So everybody is on the same page. Why do the cops need to get involved? MORE: Find out what happens on DAYS next week. Jada (Elia Cantu) thinks she needs to get involved. To protect and serve, and all that. So she keeps pressing ahead. Which puts her at odds with Rafe (Galen Gering). Also at odds are Johnny's wife, Chanel (Raven Bowens), and her doting mama, Paulina (Jackée Harry). As long as Paulina is doing what Chanel needs — i.e., covering up her crimes and pulling strings to get her daughter's business a leg up — they're cool. But as soon as Mama steps out of line…. WATCH THIS: Did you know Soap Hub has a podcast?! Check it out here! From the moment Ari (Marissa Reyes) returned to Salem, she and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) have been at odds. Sure, Gabi overreached when her 18-year-old daughter sneaked out without telling her. But Ari was also picking up guys at bars (she was too young to be in, in the first place), so Gabi has a point about her making some bad life choices. But there's a truce in the battle, as the pair reconnect as mother and daughter… without an argument breaking out. Got a sizzling fan theory? Email news@ — yours could be our next hot topic!

Johnny is clearly confused and says it's all kind of a blur. He remembers getting to the mansion and holding the gun on his father.

Alex explains how he gave the manuscript to Kate, who accidentally left it at the hospital. He goes on to say no one who read it has any clue she wrote it. Before Stephanie can go off on him, Alex says Kate LOVED the manuscript and thinks it could be a best seller. This information clearly intrigues Stephanie. Roman and Marlena believe Johnny who is relieved to get the story off his chest. Roman doesn't understand how the gun got to the planter when Johnny gave it to EJ. Further, there is no explanation for the missing bullet. Roman says someone else must have used the gun to confront EJ after Johnny left the house.
