EJ DiMera Makes His Next Power Move

At the DiMera mansion, EJ meets with Dr. Jeffrey Russell for a private strategy session. This hush-hush meeting reveals EJ’s latest scheme—buying the hospital. That move would give him control over Dr. Russell’s research contract, something Russell has been desperate to escape. The plan isn’t just about business; it’s about control and long-term gain.

With the hospital under EJ’s thumb, he could gain access to the lab working on Versavix—the breakthrough sepsis drug. That drug could be a goldmine, but it’s also vital to Bo Brady’s survival. EJ knows the stakes are high, both financially and emotionally. But what he may not expect is resistance from others who won’t let him seize control so easily.

Kayla knows how to balance emotion and logic. She’s not about to let family fall apart—not on her watch. As EJ moves forward with his plan, Kayla may be the only one who can prevent total disaster.
