While most of Salem is reacting to the news that EJ DiMera (James Scott) was killed in a mugging, others are potentially using the tragedy to their advantage in an effort to get what they want most on Days of Our Lives.

Theresa Is Summoned To John's Hospital Room

One such person may be Theresa (Jen Lilley) who will try to convince Brady (Eric Martsolf) that they should have a fresh start following the stress on their relationship from his father's coma. If she realizes Brady rejected Kristen again, despite knowing the grief she is currently experiencing, she will have a chance to easily slide back into Brady's arms. And though their relationship was ill-advised in the beginning, Brady could be receptive to her once again.

Brady could consider Theresa as someone suitable for his love once again after he finally decided to leave Kristen (Eileen Davidson) in his past. Their dramatic and tumultuous relationship, which saw Kristen raping his brother, Eric (Greg Vaughan), saw more ups and downs after Kristen came back to town and procured the drug that eventually helped John (Drake Hogestyn) wake up from the coma and save his life.

Kristen Leans On Brady Following EJ's Death

After hearing about EJ's death, Brady went to see Kristen to see how she was handling the news about her brother's demise, something Kristen took as a good sign-but he discouraged her by saying that he had no intentions of ever being with her again, because despite her grief and the good things she did for him since returning, he can't forget their sordid past-and even suggested she leave town for good and go be with her exiled father, Stefano (Joseph Mascolo).

Now, with the chapter on Kristen officially closed, he could find himself once again falling for Theresa's own evil schemes.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
