Eric Breaks Down Kristen’s Devious Plan 

The Days of Our Lives actor dropped some insight into Kristen’s motives in an interview with Soap Opera Digest. He believes Kristen still deeply loves Brady despite all the chaos and scheming. “She was always trying to protect him. Most of what she’s done has been out of love,” Martsolf explained. Additionally, there’s no denying that the couple shared a rocky history.

They battled hard over custody of their daughter, Rachel. Nevertheless, Kristen’s feelings for Brady remain a driving force in her actions. They’re constantly at odds over how to co-parent, but Kristen’s quick thinking recently saved Brady from serious legal trouble. Brady was framed for knocking Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) down with his car.

However,  Kristen’s decision to get rid of the car was a game-changing move, right? Eric called it a “bold” choice and highlighted that Kristen’s scheming was what Brady needed at that moment. The DAYS actor also touched on the strange dynamic between Brady and Kristen. Furthermore, he noted that while Brady and Kristen mostly clash, they still care about each other when it matters.

“They almost can’t help but care for one another, especially in dire times,” Eric said. According to him, the real challenge is learning to handle the regular issues without letting their animosity influence them. Meanwhile, District Attorney EJ DiMera (Daniel Feuerriegel) is dead set on nailing Brady for the hit-and-run. Plus, Fiona (Serena Scott Thomas) is still holding the real secret.

She knows who was behind the wheel. However, it’s only a matter of time before everything unravels. But for now, Brady is facing an uphill battle! Thankfully, Kristen’s latest move has bought him some time. The question remains: how long can the truth stay hidden? Keep checking out Soap Opera Daily for more Days of Our Lives celeb updates.
