On Wednesdays episode of "Days of Our Lives", EJ discovered Stefano's hidden papers revealing EJ is not Stefano's son. Reeling in shock, EJ confronted his father and the resulting conversation could only be described as heartbreaking. Stefano explained how and when he came across this information and told EJ he did not know who EJ's real father is. EJ struggled to understand why Stefano wouldn't accept him as a son despite the facts. Stefano gave one flimsy excuse after another to explain his abandonment of a son who has been so devoted to him.
EJ gave Stefano plenty of opportunity to say "This doesn't matter," "You're still my son," "We are still family," "I still love you," but No. Stefano didn't say anything like that, which was hugely disappointing. In fact, I was a bit shocked that not only did Stefano refuse to accept EJ but he continuously turned the devastation EJ was facing into what Stefano himself was going through by losing a son. Stefano couldn't have been more selfish and uncaring.
Years ago Stefano Dimera endeared himself to me forever when he broke down into tears after finding out his adopted daughter, Kristen Blake, had died. I loved him for that show of emotion. Where is that Stefano? I think the Days of Our Lives writer's have done a huge disservice to the character of Stefano. The Stefano we have known for years would not have treated his son this way - biological or not.
On a brighter note, we have not seen or heard mention of a DNA test for EJ and Stefano. This gives me hope that all of this is just some sort of charade and that this turn of events doesn't have to be permanent. Perhaps it will come out that Stefano was testing EJ all along. Perhaps Stefano is testing EJ's love and devotion to him and how far he can push EJ's loyalty.
EJ is a Dimera. Period. And I hope this disaster is fixed soon.
