Days of Our Lives Speculation: Could Deimos Be Xander’s Daddy?

A new Days of Our Lives spoiler floating around cyberspace has Deimos delivering some shocking news to Xander next week. Learning of this Kiriakis family event got Soap Hub thinking…can there be another Kiriakis family secret? And does that secret involve a father and son?

Remember, until recently, Xander (Paul Telfer) and Deimos (Vincent Irizarry) were two unheard of members of the Kiriakis clan. While Victor has been around for decades, we never heard of this young nephew or this younger half-brother. We still know little about the brother who was supposed to father Xander, so who is to say it wasn’t Deimos?

Xander’s age has remained vague, and we’ve been told Deimos spent the last 30 years in prison before arriving in Salem, this year, but even that claim has seemed dicey. For a man languishing behind bars for three decades, Deimos had an awful lot of outside connections.

Remember Dr. Malcolm, the man involved in Bo’s death? Deimos apparently had some business ties with him, which seemed rather odd for a man in jail. When Deimos showed up on Victor’s (John Aniston) doorstep, he didn’t even seem to know his brother was free. Who is to say he wasn’t free for years without Victor knowing? Perhaps he even spent time in and out of prison. Those years still remain unclear.

Deimos’s longing for children has also come into play of late. He announced he wanted them with Nicole (Arianne Zucker), and she broke his heart telling him she couldn’t have kids. Then, he began obsessing over Chloe’s (Nadia Bjorlin) baby, insisting it was his (that one still remains a mystery). Deimos seems to want to raise an heir, but what if he already has one who is even more dangerous than him?

While this is pure speculation, it would certainly be a shocker, and add another layer to this villain story–which is getting really old, really fast. A new fatherly tie could certainly shake things up and get us tuning in for more.
