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.
