Recently, EJ's mother Susan Banks (Eileen Davidson) arrived at Salem City and made a shocking announcement. She warned EJ that she has a bad feeling and she feels his life is in danger.

Meanwhile, NBC has also posted photos giving glimpse at "Days of Our Lives" (DOOL) October 6-10 episodes. One of the photos shows Sami Brady, EJ's wife, breakdown in tears. The couple recently reconciled and resolved all the differences. However, Stefano DiMera, the Salem City's crime lord and EJ's father, is not happy with this reunion. He thinks Sami is her biggest enemy and he is going to go after her.

Who kills James Scott's iconic character EJ DiMera remains to be seen. However, fans know that he has many rivals and enemies who want to take him down.
