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.
