That\u2019s where Martha Madison enters the chat to give Soaps.com her take on Belle and EJ\u2019s relationship after that jaw-dropping conclusion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The cracks in their romance began to appear when EJ handed down <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/days-of-our-lives\/news\/793788\/why-did-belle-and-ej-break-up\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">his ultimate deception<\/a> in the courtroom after an afternoon delight at the Salem Inn. The budding supercouple\u2019s love stopped dead in its tracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s why we had to ask Madison if there was anything EJ could do <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/days-of-our-lives\/recaps\/793581\/ej-calls-mistrial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">to win Belle back<\/a> \u2014 even a tiny morsel of reconciliation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison had a very firm answer for us: \u201cI don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-793201\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ej-belle-days-jj.jpg\" alt=\"EJ belle days\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\"  \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe story is going to be told, but I think this is a very clear line in the sand,\u201d she says. \u201cYou know, he was willing to destroy her career, her reputation, to throw innocent people under the bus. I mean, that\u2019s as low as you can go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison thinks \u201cthat kind of betrayal is hard to come back from\u201d for Belle \u2014 it was the last straw in their relationship. EJ had consistently put his personal interests ahead of her legal reputation, and as Feuerriegel told us in a separate interview, \u201cBelle is more conscientious and has a much better sense of morality than EJ.\u201d That\u2019s where the final \u201cclash\u201d really comes into play for them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Madison adds, \u201c[Belle was OK] with all of these events that happened in years past, but I think for her, trust is everything, and she can\u2019t trust him. So, that\u2019s it for her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It may be the end of the road for Belle and EJ, but Madison promises that Salem will be feeling <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/days-of-our-lives\/news\/794353\/which-woman-shot-ej\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">the impact of the case<\/a> for a long time to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe reason I love this story so much is because everyone has a very clear point of view and everyone\u2019s interests are kind of intersecting,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s what makes great storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Just because the trial is over does not mean everything returns to normal for all the parties involved, but it seems to be the end of Belle and EJ.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cEverybody\u2019s relationships change through this story,\u201d Madison teases. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s why it\u2019s so good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss our full interview with Martha Madison in the video above, and see the <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/gallery\/days-of-our-lives-belle-black-timeline-through-years-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">trials and tribulations of Belle Black<\/a> through the years in the gallery below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Salem processes the shock of Johnny being exonerated and Kristen confessing to shooting EJ, it\u2019s time to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":89907,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[53099,49,48,53100,18638,53101,75,53102],"class_list":["post-89906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-belle-black","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-dan-feuerriegel","tag-days-of-our-lives","tag-ej-dimera","tag-entertainment","tag-martha-madison"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/89907"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
