Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that Jake DiMera’s (Brandon Barash) sudden death could be on the way. There’ll be another DiMera family tragedy that brings shock, so here’s what we know so far.
DOOL Head Writer Ron Carlivati previously confirmed that a major character would be killed off in the not-too-distant future.
Now we’ve got new spoilers that confirm another death’s going to strike Salem during the week of July 25-29.
Days spoilers say this death will affect Ava Vitali (Tamara Braun) as well as Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), who’ll lean on Sonny Kiriakis (Zach Tinker) for support in the aftermath.
Ava is Jake’s current love interest, so it’s easy to see why she’d be upset.
Chad is also Jake’s brother – and though they’ve never been all that close, Jake had a genuine moment of connection with Chad after Abigail DiMera (Marci Miller) died.
Since this is coming on the heels of Abigail’s demise, that could make Chad particularly emotional about losing someone else he’s tied to.
Chad might even end up feeling a bit cursed and need Sonny’s reassurance that he’s not casting some deadly shadow over Salem.
Meanwhile, EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) will capitalize on a situation following another DiMera family tragedy, so that also fits with Jake.
EJ didn’t know Jake well enough to really care all that much and is always one to take advantage of a good opportunity.
Of course, we should point out that Stefan DiMera’s (Brandon Barash) comeback may be in the works.
Days insiders have been hinting at Stefan’s return, so it makes sense to kill Jake off and then have someone who looks like the twins resurface.
That could initially create a bit of a mystery about which brother has returned before he’s revealed to be Stefan.
Jake is arguably the inferior character, so many Days fans will welcome the switch for Brandon Barash if that’s how it all goes down.
It’s possible there’ll be another explanation, but Jake seems to be a likely contender when it comes to the shocking death that’s brewing.
Days of Our Lives spoilers say deadly drama will strike and lead to some chaos, so stay tuned to DOOL.
