EJami Family Time!

On Friday's episode of Days of Our Lives, EJ went to see Lexie at the hospital and overheard her speaking to Chad. EJ entered the room and sat with them as Lexie told Chad about her illness.  Chad was shocked and saddened by the news and decided Lexie was right about his involvement with his family.  Chad agreed that he needed to be there for Stefano, EJ, and for Theo. EJ was visibly upset although he tried to disguise the true reason. He told Chad that Chad would find now was the perfect timing to rejoin the Dimera Clan.

EJ left Lexie and Chad and headed over to Sami's apartment. He told Sami he would like to visit with the children. Sami could see EJ was upset and asked him what was wrong. EJ never really told Sami anything and Sami assumed EJ was upset about Lexie. She tried to comfort EJ as best she could and even tried to touch his arm at one point but EJ jerked away. EJ decided he should leave and not let the children see him this way but Sami insisted he stay and be around people who loved him unconditionally.  He wryly asked if she was one of those people and Sami said no, but she did so kindly and we all know she was thinking yes! :)  EJ decided to stay and spent the evening cuddled up on Sami's couch with Sydney in his arms and Johnny at his side watching a movie.  It was one of the sweetest scenes I've seen with EJ and his children.  Sami stood by looking on with a smile.

After the movie and the kids went off to bed, EJ decided to leave. Sami told him he didn't need to go and that he could stay and talk. He refused until she offered him some scotch at which point he shut the door and decided to stay.  Sami told EJ she was worried about him but wanted him to remember that he's not alone.  I thought it was fitting Sami said this to him since it's what EJ said to her when Sami was feeling low at the pub.

I'm looking forward to the "almost kiss" on Monday. Remember to support EJami! Watch live or same day DVR. Let's let the producers know we love Ejami through increased ratings!

EJ's Heartbreaking Rejection from Stefano Dimera

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's pleas for his father's love were so pitiful to watch. When EJ sadly stated "But, I love you," my heart broke for him. (Watch the scene here).  Kudos to James Scott for delivering a powerful performance and for allowing fans a glimpse at the lonely little boy inside EJ that is so desperate for his father's love and approval.

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.

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.
