James Scott, interview with Michael Fairman, June 18, 2010

  • James Scott: Alison is just wonderful. I can’t think of a better way to spend your time than kissing Alison Sweeney. It’s just a perfect way to spend an afternoon. And if things do go south, then that will be the one thing I will miss most.

Could Ian McAllister be EJ Dimera's Real Father?

We've all seen by now the awful scene in which Stefano Dimera says to himself that EJ Dimera is not his son. This has got to be the most hated manipulation of history on Days of Our Lives to date. EJ is a Dimera. Period. We don't need some pompous writer's thinking they can screw with our show. But to hell with them. They've all been fired and for that we can rejoice.  Unfortunately, we're stuck with this awful storyline and everyone is wondering who could be EJ's father.

The speculation has been John Black which I find offensive to my sensibilities considering that would make EJ a Brady and would ruin EJami for me. Besides....John? Really?

And then there's the speculation that EJ's father is Ian McAllister which makes me shudder.  For one, the character of Ian doesn't portray strength and power which I would think is an absolute must for EJ's father.  Secondly, just who the hell is Ian McAllister and does anyone really care? EJ Dimera is one of the most loved and most hated characters on Days. You don't bring in a nobody like Ian McAllister and give him such a powerful place in EJ's life. This would also disconnect EJ from any of the core families on Days of Our Lives and is a seriously bad move.

There's a rumor, too, that Lucas is Ian's son.  Remember..we were subjected to that awful trip down memory lane in which Lucas remembered Ian taking him skiing as a kid.  If Ian is both EJ and Lucas' father, then EJ and Lucas are brothers which seems a bit creepy as well considering both EJ and Lucas impregnated Sami at the same time.  Ick.

If we know anything about Stefano it's that he loves his family and his children whether they are adopted or biological.  If the writer's had stayed true to Stefano's character this bit of information Alice had kept secret wouldn't have meant a bit of difference to Stefano. EJ is Stefano's son making him a Dimera - period - no matter what any of the writers say.

  1. I hate this storyline too. EJ needs to remain as Stefano's son. Right when you have a good understanding of what's going on and who is who, they turn the whole show upside-down. I realize twists and turns are part of soaps, but you still need some degree of stability. What are the writers trying to do, kill off the Dimera blood line? As of right now, it looks like Lexi will be killed off by a brain tumor, and now EJ will not be Stefano's son. That leaves Chad, but he hates the thought of being associated with his father. Are they going to kill or somehow write Chad off too? Uhhgg...

  2. I agree that it seems as if the writer's are trying to kill off or rid Days of Our Lives of the Dimeras. My question then would be "What the hell will Bope and J&M do if they don't have Stefano to contend with?" Killing the Dimera's would render the two biggest super-couples useless, imo.

    I'm hoping this is all a test of EJ's loyalty to Stefano. That EJ is in fact Stefano's son and Stefano is testing the fabric of their relationship and the extent of Ej's love by rejecting him in this way. It's the only thing that makes sense really because the Stefano we've known over the years wouldn't reject EJ like this simply because he isn't blood.

  3. I have to say that I hope that Ian is EJ's real father. They've already trampled all over the family trees on this show. There were rumors that John Black was EJ's father, which would make him and Sami cousins. And besides, I'm almost 100% convinced that Ian is a Dimera, which would keep EJ in the family. It's the whole Phoenix symbolism....now that Joe Mascolo is retiring, which means the end of Stefano, someone will have to take his place, and I'm sure it will be Ian....although I don't like him very much......

    1. As long as Ian is a Dimera, I assume I'd be ok with it. But I really don't like Ian. I think he's a very weak character and he's just very creepy looking. LOL. Noone could replace Joe Mascolo, certainly not Ian Buchanan.

  6. Don't forget that the Horton's had E.J.'s baby picture -- perhaps he's another offspring of that randy Bill Horton making him Lucas' & Jennifer's half brother

  7. I think that EJ is a result of Maggie's stolen eggs which Alice Horton knew about, hence the pact with Stefano. There is the whole thing about the coin that John and Hope recovered. There is a woman's name is on it...Yvette. Could be EJ's "incubator" and the sperm donor could be John Black. After all when John was Roman he was involved with a Yvette DuPrés.
