The Kiriakises think they have found a clever way to make Dominic regret buying the mansion on Days of our Lives. Their plan is simple: make the place look like an expensive nightmare filled with leaks, mold, vermin, electrical problems, and even asbestos. That works if Dominic cares about resale value. If he wants the mansion because of Stefano, the DiMeras, or something hidden inside it, they may be doing him a favor.
Key Takeaways
- The Kiriakises sabotaged the mansion in hopes of making Dominic regret buying it.
- Maggie’s plan only works if Dominic actually cares about the property’s condition and financial value.
- Dominic’s ties to Stefano, the DiMeras, and Marlena suggest he may want the mansion for reasons unrelated to resale value.
- If Dominic is after something connected to the house’s history, the damage may only make him more determined to keep it.
Maggie’s Plan Assumes Dominic Cares About the Money
Maggie (Suzanne Rogers) gathered Xander (Paul Telfer), Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier), Sarah (Linsey Godfrey), Kate (Lauren Koslow), Brady (Eric Martsolf), and eventually Roman (Josh Taylor) to make the mansion look like a disaster. Pipes leaked, fake mold appeared, electrical problems were staged, and Philip even planted asbestos in the attic. Nothing says “please reconsider this purchase” quite like turning your old home into an environmental inspection report.
The problem is that the entire plan depends on Dominic behaving like a normal buyer. Maggie assumes he will see repair bills, legal headaches, and a property that suddenly looks far less attractive. Under ordinary circumstances, that would probably work.
But Dominic is not an ordinary buyer, at least based on what little everyone knows about him. Roman specifically connected Dominic to Stefano (Joe Mascolo), the DiMeras, and Marlena (Deidre Hall). Since Dominic’s interest in the mansion comes from that history, a little fake mold may not scare him away.

Dominic May Want Something the Kiriakises Cannot Damage
That is where the Kiriakises could be misreading the situation badly. If Dominic wants the house because Stefano once lived there, then the property’s actual value may be beside the point. He could be interested in its history, something Stefano left behind, or even something hidden somewhere inside the mansion.
In that case, damaging the property might only make Dominic more determined to take possession. The family is assuming he wants a beautiful mansion. He may actually want access to whatever the mansion represents.
And if Dominic realizes someone is trying this hard to keep him out, that could make him even more curious. The Kiriakises may think they are giving him reasons to walk away. Instead, they could be confirming that the house is worth fighting for.
