5 Things You Didn’t Know About Days Of Our Lives EJ Dimera (James Scott)

NBC Days of our Lives spoilers and updates tease is he or isn’t he when it comes to EJ DiMera, last played by James Scott. The question fans want to be answered is, will EJ ever come back to the canvas? For the time being, no one knows if or when that will ever happen. He is now with Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) getting treatment after being involved in a horrible accident.

Sami is set to return to town soon, but there is no word on whether or not she will be alone or have EJ with her. Most likely EJ will remain where he is, at least for now.

In the meantime, that gives us an excellent excuse to learn more about the character! Here are five things you didn’t know about EJ DiMera.

#1 Days of our Lives Spoilers – EJ DiMera And Sami Brady Have A Complicated History

Did you know that EJ and Sami’s first marriage was one of convenience, not love? It’s true, these eventual lovebirds were initially betrothed so that EJ could remain in the country. As time went on they developed genuine feelings for one another, and their love story has become an all-time fan fave super couple plot on DOOL.

EJ wasn’t always a lawyer, as we remember him from his last days on the soap. In the beginning, EJ was a swarthy race car driver! The switcheroo happened when the writer who helped to develop the character of Elvis Jr. was let go and subsequently TPTB changed the direction of the character.

#3 DOOL Spoilers – EJ DiMera Was Raised By A Nanny

Bet you don’t know who EJ compared his nanny too? Hint: think of a pop culture governess. If you said Mary Poppins, you’re right!

#4 EJ DiMera’ s Early Workplace May Surprise You

After graduating from college, EJ worked in Cairo in the import/export business and he lived in India for a bit.
