Days of Our Lives: EJ and Rolf Bring Back More Pod People – Is Abigail Next?!

Days of Our Lives puts EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) and Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) plotting and planning to revive even more dead DiMeras. So, is Abigail Deveraux DiMera (AnnaLynne McCord) the next recipient of Rolf’s miracle medical serum once they iron out the kinks?

I think after the chat today between EJ and Gwen Rizczech, it sure seems like there’s a stack of person pods with many dead DiMeras waiting to be revived. So, we have a lot to unpack about who else is going to be dragged from the grave.

EJ And Rolf Happy About Lexie’s Progress

All right, so we’ve got EJ and Rolf pretty happy about the progress that their pod person, Lexie Carver, has been making. So this week, we saw Gwen super excited, thinking they’re about to cash in on the big payday from the investment that she made in this twisted science lab.

But EJ told Gwen that Rolf is concerned. Even though Lexie reached her hand out for her son Theo Carver‘s (Cameron Johnson) hand, they’re not seeing the level of brain activity and other signs of awakening consciousness that they are hoping to see with Lexie by now.

Days of Our Lives: EJ’s Bigger Plans?

So even though EJ’s focus is solely on his sister Lexie at the moment, I suspect EJ’s got bigger plans in the works. He explained that Lexie was the most viable patient to revive right now. So, her resurrection also was part of their dad, Stefano DiMera’s final wishes.

Now, we know that the Phoenix always felt really bad. Because Lexie’s inoperable brain cancer was caused by toxic fumes in the underground DiMera tunnels. That’s because years ago, Andre DiMera kidnapped Lexie, held her down in the tunnels long enough for her to be exposed to these toxins that wrecked her health and killed her. But hopefully with Rolf’s serum mixed in with the Versix, it’ll work a miracle for Lexie.

Now, I do expect she’ll finally wake up in May sweeps. I don’t know how long she may survive or not. But if you remember, the Versix by itself is what saved Bo Brady from the brink of death. And that was from a two-year coma. And he had that extreme sepsis.

Could Abigail Be in a Pod?

So Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Cat Green were also recently talking about EJ’s secret lab and the person pod they found during Stephanie and Jeremy’s rescue. And Rafe suggested that EJ and Rolf might be reviving Chad DiMera‘s (Connor Floyd) late wife Abigail when they discussed who might have been in that pod.

So Lexie’s not on their radar. Not only that. But new Chad, played by cutie Connor Floyd, also speculated that his brother EJ may be trying to bring Abby back from the dead. In fact, he confronted EJ about it and Chad was grilling him about the pod.

Days of Our Lives: Clyde Knows the Truth?

Now, we know that Abigail’s body was never recovered. Her grave was empty. They searched for her remains. They never found them. And do you remember what hillbilly mobster Clyde Weston said? Before he was shot and put in a coma by Cat’s mom, Clyde hinted that he knew where Abigail was. Now, he didn’t say dead or alive. But it was a hint that he knew.

So, even though EJ denied everything, Chad’s still got his suspicions right now. And he was told back when she was stabbed to death that Abigail was too far gone to use Rolf’s serum. That was back in 2022. Now, that could have been a lie or it could have been a case of EJ and Rolf couldn’t bring her back at the moment. But they hoped that they would have the medical know-how to bring Abby back in the future someday. So, they, you know, didn’t ever see her in the grave. They put her in a person pod and, I don’t know, buried sandbags or something.

But apparently Clyde somehow knows the truth of what happened to her and why Abby was not in her grave. Plus, there’s the fact that EJ and Gwen have ties to Abigail, which makes it intriguing. And of course, after Cat Green pretended to be resurrected not-so-dead Abigail, obviously Chad should be very skeptical.

Abigail And EJ’s Affair

And let’s not forget that Abby and EJ had a torrid affair back in 2014. That was when they were swapping actors around and Chad had left Salem for a bit. And Abby and EJ leaned on each other for emotional support and it turned into a full-blown physical relationship that happened even though EJ was engaged to Sami Brady at the time and EJ’s affair with Abby intensified.

They had all these secret hookups. There was that infamous sexy shower scene at the gym that Sami nearly interrupted. And if you remember, Abigail was obsessively infatuated with EJ at the time. And Abby tried to stop him from ending their affair.

Unfortunately for them, EJ and Abby’s affair was exposed in an article written by Will Horton. And when Chad returned to Salem that year, when Billy Flynn made his debut, he punched EJ for the betrayal and he confronted Abigail. Eventually Chad and Abby reconciled and there was no further funny business between her and EJ. And now we have new Chad and we could be getting a new Abby.

New Actress Hired At Days

Actress Sophia Mattsson who used to be on General Hospital, she’s a really good actress, blonde, statuesque. She was recently hired at Days of Our Lives with lots of speculation about whether she might be resurrected recast Abby. I saw some chatter that Sophia was going to play a new character. But I haven’t seen it in official channels and they could start her out as somebody with a different name with amnesia who later turns out to be Abby. There’s a lot of ways to go, you know, to get around that even if they did say that, trying to keep the mystery coming. So, I do think she’d be a good fit to be Abigail.

And Sophia Mattsson makes her debut early next year, which is long enough for them to work out any kinks in Rolf’s person pod and the medication protocol so they can start bringing back whoever is in the other person pods. So right now EJ has the hots for Cat. So does Chad. But with Rachel Black blabbing all that stuff to angry Thomas DiMera, you know, they’re not together right now. But we probably will see Chad and Cat together in the future.

Could EJ Brainwash Abigail?

So, if EJ sees Cat getting close to Chad, he might get jealous. And don’t forget, Rolf can brainwash people while they’re under his care. Remember, they did that with Stefan DiMera when he came out of the whole thing hot for Chloe. Because Leon bribed Rolf to mess with Stefan’s head so he wouldn’t pursue Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez).

So, if EJ’s salty about Chad and Cat, I wouldn’t put it past him to do something similar with resurrected Abby if they are bringing her back. You know, she was really into EJ back in the day. So, I could see him deciding to be vengeful and keeping Abigail for himself to screw Chad over.

Days of Our Lives: Chad Pushes EJ

Especially since the moment that Connor Floyd took over the role, we had Chad getting pretty aggressive with EJ in a way that he wasn’t usually when Billy Flynn was in the role. They had mellowed his brothers. But now new Chad is pushing really hard at EJ.

So, I think it would be especially interesting to have Abigail DiMera come back. And I think it would be interesting to have Cat and Chad as a couple by then and then EJ maybe having Rolf brainwash her and then staking a claim on Abby from the moment she wakes up from the person pod. That could be super super soapy. So, we’ll see how it goes.
