On the July 16 episode of Days of our Lives, Sarah and Brady were just shocked — shocked — that they were getting contradictory results from lab tests run by Salem University Hospital and the ISA. We have no idea why they’re so shocked. Has University Hospital EVER produced an accurate test?
Key Takeaways
- Sarah’s disbelief over conflicting lab results ignores Salem’s long history of inaccurate testing.
- University Hospital’s record of swapped and altered paternity tests predates EJ’s ownership.
- The latest lab mix-up reinforces why no one should blindly trust Salem’s hospital.
When in Doubt, Blame EJ DiMera
Whenever Sarah (Linsey Godfrey, a Daytime Emmy nominee for Supporting Actress) gets a result she doesn’t like, she throws a fit about how this is all EJ’s fault. The hospital was so great before EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) bought it! All patients always recovered, nobody ever had to pay a bill if they didn’t want to, and tests were not only run quickly, but they were also always accurate. Oh, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah. Give it a rest, sweetie. This was always the worst hospital in… whatever state they’re located in.
The Receipts Go Back Well Before EJ Saved the Hospital from Closing
Just among people currently on the canvas… Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) switched paternity tests on Abigail’s (Marci Miller) baby, to make it seem that Stefan (Brandon Barash) was the father, not Chad (now Conner Floyd)…. Sloan (Jessica Sweerty) changed paternity tests on Nicole’s (Arianne Zucker) baby to make it look like EJ, not Eric (Greg Vaughan), was the father…. Kate (Lauren Koslow) altered paternity tests to make it appear that EJ was the father of both Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Allie (Lindsay Arnold)… And all of this happened before EJ was in charge of the hospital.
Suspicious Test Results Shouldn’t Be So Shocking
And yet, despite all that — and despite knowing that her own baby, Mickey, was switched with a newborn Rachel (now Lorelei Oliva Mote), proving that the hospital also has terrible security — Sarah just cannot wrap her head around the idea that the tests she ran on Holly (Ashley Puzemis) might be wrong. When were they ever right?
