Cat & EJ on Days of Our Lives: New Power Couple or Just a Drama Bomb in Salem?
Recently, the Days of Our Lives fandom has been buzzing about one name: Cat Greene – the mysterious woman who suddenly appeared next to EJ DiMera, bringing a full spectrum of emotions: flirty, tense, and… dangerous.
Many viewers rushed to label them a “new couple”, but are Cat & EJ really a proper romance, or just a carefully built drama machine in classic Salem style?
A Relationship Born from Secrets and Lies
From day one, the connection between Cat Greene and EJ DiMera has been anything but simple:
-
On paper, their history is already twisted: both were patients at the same clinic in Italy, both went through surgery, and both were believed dead by their loved ones. During that time, Cat read Wuthering Heights to an unconscious EJ, creating a strange emotional thread between them before he even knew who she was.
-
Years later, they meet again in Salem, with EJ now a powerful figure and Cat working at the hospital. At a charity auction, EJ wins a date with Cat – only to give that date to his brother Chad DiMera, sparking a messy web of attraction, tension, and family complications.
It sounds like the setup for a sweeping romance, but behind it all is… espionage:
-
Cat is secretly working for the ISA, assigned to investigate EJ, especially his takeover of the hospital and the identity of the “mystery partner” behind him.
-
The twist? She ends up becoming EJ’s personal assistant at the hospital, spending every day close to the very man she’s supposed to seduce, watch, and possibly betray.
Right from the foundation, this is not a healthy “we met – we clicked – we fell in love” story. It’s a relationship built on mission, power, and deception.
When Chemistry Explodes: Love Story or Honey Trap?
In recent episodes, fans have noticed that the chemistry between Cat & EJ is clearly heating up:
-
They share post-work dinners, and EJ is clearly drawn to Cat. She feels “strangely familiar” to him, and he admires how she puts family first – something deeply important to EJ.
-
Cat, meanwhile, is torn between her mission and her heart: she suspects that EJ either genuinely has feelings for her, or that he’s unconsciously drawn to her because of their shared past in Italy.
But every moment of tenderness comes with a layer of danger:
-
In a shocking scene, Cat drugs EJ at the DiMera mansion: she hands him a drink, calmly watches him pass out on the sofa, then coolly remarks that “dinner will have to wait,” leaving him unconscious. This is clearly not your average office crush.
-
Many viewers and commentators see Cat as using a classic “honey trap” strategy – weaponizing attraction to dig for secrets, rather than moving toward a pure, romantic partnership.
In short: the emotions may be real, but the manipulation is real too.
Fans Are Shipping Hard, Writers Are Feeding the Chaos
In the fandom, the idea of Cat & EJ becoming an official couple has sparked heated debate. Some love the intensity and chemistry, others hate the toxicity and all the DiMera-family overlap.
A few reasons fans are both intrigued and worried:
-
Cat has a “void” marriage history with Chad DiMera, and now she’s entangled with EJ – Chad’s brother – while also investigating him. Anything romantic tied to the DiMera brothers is automatically messy.
-
There are fan theories and hints about possible complicated family connections around Cat, EJ, and other characters, making the idea of shipping them even more controversial for some viewers.
Meanwhile, spoilers and commentary seem determined to keep them in that “situationship” zone – not strangers, not a healthy couple, but something in between: perfect for love triangles, reveals, and betrayal.
For the writers, Cat & EJ are a flexible tool: they can be angled into a twisted love story, a revenge arc, or a ticking time bomb inside the DiMera empire.
So… Are Cat & EJ Actually a Couple?
If we speak in soap opera terms:
-
Yes, they’re clearly drawn to each other – emotionally and narratively.
-
Yes, they’ve had dates, charged moments, jealousy, and signs of real affection, enough for fans to ship them loudly online.
-
But no, they are not a confirmed, stable, straightforward couple. Their connection is still wrapped in secret missions, hidden agendas, and the constant threat of betrayal.
To put it simply:
Cat & EJ right now are not a wholesome romance – they’re a pair of characters engineered for maximum drama.
If one day the show officially crowns them as an OTP, it will likely be one of the messiest, most divisive romances Salem has seen in a long time.
For now, you can see Cat & EJ as:
-
For fans: a “guilty pleasure ship” that’s impossible not to watch.
-
For the writers: a high-grade drama weapon.
-
For the characters themselves: a dangerous game of heart, power, and secrets – and none of them know yet what the final price will be.
