Days Of Our Lives RUMOR: EJ Dimera Returning To Salem?

In a year of surprise returns at Days Of Our Lives, could the stage be set for the long-awaited homecoming of EJ Dimera? Rumors on social media picked up steam shortly after Chandler Massey returned as Will when Kristen Dimera (Eileen Davidson) appeared briefly at Susan’s house and confirmed what viewers knew all along–EJ is back among the living, thanks to a healthy dose of Dr. Rolf’s serum.

With Alison Sweeney back on the canvas as Sami, and the Dimera family in conflict over control of Dimera Enterprises, the timing couldn’t be better to bring EJ back into the fold. It would also seem that the casting of Stacy Haiduk as Susan Banks, EJ’s mother, could also hint at his imminent return.

DAYS could certainly use the character of EJ—last played in 2014 by James Scott—in an effort to rebuild the Dimera family. With Thaao Penghlis (Andre/Tony) currently out, and Billy Flynn (Chad) set to exit soon, Salem’s nefarious Dimera clan could certainly benefit from EJ’s return.
