Days of Our Lives puts EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) with a secret brother that Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) had with Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and a sibling rivalry that EJ does not even know about. And even worse, Dominic Marino could be planning to take everything from EJ, not just the Kiriakis mansion and not just the Phoenix ring.
Days of our Lives: EJ At a Low Point
Let’s get into this new sibling rivalry coming soon between EJ and Dominic. Right now, EJ’s world seems to be falling apart. This week, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) is ratting EJ out to Belle Black (Martha Madison). And it looks like Johnny is ready to testify against EJ for the pharmaceutical cover up that he did with George O’Halloran.
On top of that blindside coming his way, EJ’s plan to snatch up the Kiriakis mansion was thwarted and he was looking forward to crushing Titan. But that just fell apart as well. Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) scored big in Monte Carlo and was able to save Titan by paying off EJ’s loan even though Philip’s text to Xander Cook Kiriakis (Paul Telfer) to hold off on the house closing did not go through for some reason. Either way, EJ lost out on getting his revenge on the Kiriakis brothers.

And even worse, his secret brother, Dominic, is the one behind the purchase of the Kiriakis mansion. Plus, Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney)’s fiancée, Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti), is working with Dominic to try and make sure the Kiriakis family could not salvage their home.
But Philip just got lucky. What’s worse is Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) and Maggie Horton (Susanne Rogers) are plotting to overturn the sale of the Kiriakis mansion by saying there are defects in the property that prevent the sale from going through.
They’re hoping that they can refund Dominic the money and keep the house. We’ll see if that works out or not. Either way, EJ will not have it and he’s thwarted. And I do suspect when Dante shows up this week and surprises Sydney DiMera (Sydney Malakeh) that Dante may be in Salem to take possession of the Kiriakis mansion for his old boarding school buddy Dominic.
EJ Furious on Days
So, EJ already was raging about mystery man Dominic snaking the mansion out from under him. Remember, he went to Italy with Belle and Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) primarily because EJ was hoping to confront Dominic, and he’s frustrated he did not get to see the mystery man. Plus, he and Chad both found it strange how many of Stefano’s favorite things were casually lying around Dominic’s mansion.
And on top of EJ’s disappointments related to Philip and Xander Kiriakis, we know that EJ’s frantic about the missing prized Phoenix ring that Stefano used to wear on his pinky. That’s because Rita Lesley (Maggie Carney) sent that ring to the new heir apparent Dominic. And she’s been lying right in EJ’s face about it. Plus, Rita’s following Dominic’s orders and dropping clues for Belle and Chad to find him in Italy.
And the fact that Stefano’s will included this book quest to start the mystery also points to Dominic being the one meant to take over for the Phoenix, not EJ. Last week on Days of Our Lives, EJ overheard Rita and Marlena talking about Dominic being Stefano’s son with Marlena. And this week, we’ve got EJ confronting Rita about what she knows about Dominic.
EJ Grills Rita on DOOL
We’ll find out exactly how much that EJ overheard once he starts questioning Rita. So, EJ may suspect that his time as the presumed head of the DiMera family is in jeopardy and he may feel that Rita is no longer as loyal as she claims to be. And of course he would be exactly right about that. Also, Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) is questioning EJ this week. And I’m sure that’s about the statement Johnny made to the cops.
So, we’ve got the law breathing down EJ’s neck soon. We’ve got a messy confrontation with Rita. We’ve got his son turning on him. Plus, Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord) just quit and she’s been honeypotting him. Things do not seem great for the mighty Elvis Jr. right now. And I suspect that Dominic may be after more than just a house and a ring.
Sami Targeted on Days of our Lives
Dominic is well known in Europe for his dealings in the financial world with his hedge fund. He’s known to be ruthless. We also know that he is working with Dante, who’s engaged to EJ’s ex-wife and baby mama, Sami. That does not seem like a coincidence. I think Dante targeted Sami, to get close to her, to get close to EJ’s daughter, Sydney. And this may be all for nefarious reasons. And because Dante’s close to Dominic and doing his bidding, that’s why he could have started dating Sami as part of whatever he’s scheming up with Dominic.
So, EJ may lose everything before his younger brother’s done with him, which would fulfill Stefano’s legacy because he was so ruthless. I’m expecting we’re finally going to meet Dominic when he makes his way to Salem most likely during November sweeps, which starts October twenty-ninth.
Dominic Takes it All on Days
In addition to having his sidekick Dante get with Sami and get close to Sydney, plus the Kiriakis mansion grab, there’s a lot more possibilities for chaos. EJ just lost his rights to own the hospital. It’s been transitioned into receivership until another buyer can be found. Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) just lost her chance as a potential buyer. But Dominic could swoop in and buy up Salem University Hospital.
And of course, that would thrill a lot of people because Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) and Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) do not want EJ anywhere near the hospital. Plus, Dominic might buy it because his mom Marlena is a doctor there. That would hit EJ really hard. I also am wondering if EJ has been set up by Rita. She might be the reason EJ possibly goes down for the GabiChic purse counterfeiting ring.
Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) just hired Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) to trace the internet breadcrumbs back to the thieves and it may be a false trail designed to implicate EJ. So, we could also see Dominic waiting in the wings for another shot at Titan. There’s rumors and spoilers about Philip starting gambling again because he’s trying to help Gabi with this dark web thing. So, that might give Dominic an opening to get into Titan. Nobody seems to be on EJ’s side right now except maybe Sydney.
Dominic Connected to Clyde on DOOL?
And she loves EJ, but she also does not want Johnny going down for anything to do with EJ’s dirty deeds. Plus, he’s feeling very foolish for letting Cat get close to him with her past ISA ties. And EJ’s certain Cat is still ISA, and he’s not wrong. And I wonder somehow if Dominic knew about his brother EJ and Cat’s involvement while they were both hospitalized in Italy.
I mean, I would not put it past that Dominic might have known Clyde Weston (James Read) and have somehow been involved with him to get info on EJ. Who knows where this all ends? There’s tentacles everywhere. It seems like Dominic’s been lying and wait for the right time to strike at EJ. And that might have been when there was confirmation of Stefano’s death. That may be what have triggered Dominic to launch his big plan against EJ.
That seems to have different aspects, personal and professional. It would not surprise me in the least if Dominic works his way into Cat’s life as well. EJ does not trust Cat right now. But he’s still hot for her. And if she wound up as Dominic’s arm candy, that’s one more way for him to slap at big brother EJ. Bottom line, with Johnny turning on him, the hospital loss, the mansion sold, and Rita betraying him, EJ is circling the drain, and he does not even know it yet.
