On the November 9 episode of Days of our Lives, Dominic strongly suggested to EJ that he’d be taking over the DiMera empire. EJ exploded and told Dom that Stefano loved to pit his children against each other. Dominic is expecting a fight. But what if EJ takes the exact opposite approach?

Key Takeaways

  • Dominic believes he’s Stefano’s rightful heir to the DiMera empire.
  • EJ warns Dominic that Stefano enjoyed turning his children against each other.
  • EJ could surprise everyone by walking away from DiMera Enterprises.

Family Drama: EJ Fills Dominic In on Their Father’s Habits

Dominic (Kyle Pryor) told his newfound siblings that he knew a kind, loving Stefano. Tony (Thao Penghlis) and Chad (Conner Floyd) just looked unconvinced.

EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) flew into a rage, screaming that their beloved Father loved to pit his children against each other, watching them fight and waiting to see who came out on top before distributing a crumb of affection or, even more importantly, approval.

EJ sure made it sound like he’d be fighting Dominic for every penny of the family fortune, and every square inch of the family mansion. But what if EJ is much smarter than that?

Nothing Left: EJ’s Brilliant Plan

EJ has been fighting for decades to hold onto his spot in DiMera Enterprises, and all it’s gotten him is the whole town — and most of his family — hating him. So what if EJ takes advantage of Dominic popping up in Salem as his opportunity to just… step away?

Think about it. If EJ gives up control of DiMera Enterprises, everyone who hates him will have no more excuses to come charging into his home and reciting a list of all the things he’s done wrong — according to them.

Not to mention, if he steps away, Dominic would have to deal with the fallout from the tainted drugs… and whatever mess Johnny (Carson Boatman) made while he was in charge.
