Various sources are talking about a possible recast of EJ DiMera's character on 'Days of Our Lives', and the likelihood of Michael Muhney getting the role.

Muhney was formerly part of the CBS drama 'The Young and The Restless', but was fired because of controversies involving his co-stars. He played the character of Adam Newman on the show.

Producers of the series have yet to confirm the rumor, but some fans are convinced that there's a big chance of it happening after events from the recent episodes.

DiMera was shot and killed by one of his henchmen, and Monday's episode showed him in the Salem Hospital morgue with wife Sami Brady saying goodbye.

News about his death reached his father Stefano, which prompted him to call his daughter Kristen for a favor. She then snuck into the morgue and injected liquid from a vial, the contents of which are still unknown, into EJ's arm.

Tuesday's plot has led fans to speculate that the death was fake. Some have come up with various theories on social media and online forums, one of which involves EJ actually being in a coma. The serum that Kristen gave will bring him back to life.

Others suggest that EJ is really dead, and that Brady and her children will move away from Salem and the DiMera family. Some say that this situation is more likely as the actress playing Brady, Alison Sweeney, is leaving the soap this month.

The television drama has been known to recast major roles since its debut on November 8, 1965. It airs every weekday at 1 pm on NBC.
