Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) will continue to plot against Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) and look for a path to more power. Nicole DiMera (Arianne Zucker) doesn’t realize it yet, but she’s becoming a pawn in EJ’s vengeful game.

Now that Nicole has a reporter job at The Spectator, EJ’s pushing her to do an exposé on Paulina following her horrible behavior in the Smith Island snowstorm.

Since Paulina was so reckless and endangered lives with radiation exposure, EJ feels she deserves to pay.

Although Nicole initially had some reservations, she ultimately got Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) on the phone to pitch the idea.

Of course, Days spoilers Chad may have some reservations of his own, especially since he’ll know this could stir up trouble with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman).

Johnny is married to Chanel DiMera (Raven Bowens) and happens to be quite protective of her mother, so he’ll be furious if Chad lets Nicole drag Paulina’s name through the mud.

Since this was EJ’s suggestion, that may get back to Johnny as well and leave him equally livid with his father.

Naturally, Johnny will save some rage for Nicole too if she goes through with Paulina’s takedown.

Paulina was recently treated for thyroid cancer, so Johnny may argue that she’s been through enough.

Unfortunately, Paulina will go through even more since Chanel is about to become seriously ill and land at the hospital.

Nicole knows what it’s like to have a daughter facing a major health crisis, so Paulina’s situation could tug at her heartstrings.

At the same time, Nicole may feel like this is all Paulina’s fault due to the radiation exposure.

Whether the exposé ultimately moves forward or not, EJ certainly won’t give up when it comes to removing Paulina from the mayoral position.

Since EJ will want to lead Salem instead, Days spoilers say he’ll hope to force a recall and run for mayor next.

EJ could change his mind at some point, but he’ll definitely have visions of more power during the week of April 29-May 3.

DOOL fans will see EJ play dirty, so he could seriously damage his relationship with Johnny in the process.

Johnny’s bond with Uncle Chad will inevitably take a hit too, so Nicole’s exposé could blow up the DiMera family in a big way.

Based on our Days predictions, EJ will be making plenty of shady moves in some upcoming storylines, so we’ll give you updates on all the DiMera scheming ahead.

Days of Our Lives spoilers say EJ will prove he can be just as sneaky as Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo), so don’t miss all the shocking news that’s still to come.
