In the November 9 episode of Days of our Lives, Dominic’s presence rocked his family. Dominic attempted to play the nice guy as he talked about family, but he dropped a major bombshell that brought his niceness into question. The newest DiMera has shaken up the family, leaving Marlena prepared to face her biggest fears.
Key Takeaways
- Dominic used Lexie’s memorial to introduce himself to his family.
- EJ, Chad, Tony, and Marlena reeled from meeting Dominic.
- One big bombshell leads to more questions and fears.
Welcome to Salem, Dominic Marino
DAYS sneak peek photos teased Dominic (Kyle Pryor) meeting his family. Fans got to see it happen on Monday’s episode, and it did not disappoint.
Dominic walked into the pub and demanded EJ’s (Dan Feuerriegel) attention from the jump. After he introduced himself, Chad (Conner Floyd), Marlena (Deidre Hall), and Belle (Martha Madison) were shaken to their core.
When the real Susan (Stacy Hadiuk) met Dominic, she immediately got a bad vibe and made sure everyone in the pub knew it. Soon, Tony (Thaao Penghlis) and Anna (Leann Hunley) arrived just as Dominic was placed in the hot seat by EJ and Chad.
Claiming His Rightful Place in the DiMera Family
Although Dominic was forthright and admitted he knew Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) was his father, he insisted he wasn’t in Salem to bring chaos to the family. Dominic had hoped to be there before Lexie (Nikki Crawford) died, but that didn’t happen, so he made sure to meet his family at her memorial.
EJ wasn’t buying it, while Chad tried to keep the pace and Anna questioned what Tony knew about Dominic. Tony wasn’t as shocked as Chad and EJ at having another DiMera sibling, so Tony explained that when everyone thought EJ was dead, Stefano informed him there was a succession plan in place but didn’t give him details.
Marlena had a brief conversation with Dominic, who Belle kept at arm’s length and demanded assurance he was even her mother’s son. Dominic agreed to a DNA test as Marlena declared she didn’t know he existed.
Insisting he didn’t want to disrupt Lexie’s memorial, Dominic agreed to leave before the rest of the guests arrived. However, he dropped the bombshell that a codicil to Stefano’s will had been filed in court, leaving Dominic with a controlling interest in DiMera Enterprises, as well as other properties, and he planned to move into the DiMera mansion.
More Questions Than Answers Thanks to Dominic
For months, all anyone wanted was for Dominic to step out of the shadows, and now that has happened. The fallout has been soapy goodness, and it’s only just begun.
Dominic played nice with his new siblings and mother, but he clearly has an agenda. Staking his claim to DiMera Enterprises was a bold move at the memorial, as was his announcement that he planned to live in the family mansion.
There’s no question that Dominic knew EJ would come at him guns blazing, which he did, so Dominic took a different approach with his family. Dominic was heartfelt, sincere, honest, and calm as they talked to all of them.
It was honestly way too calm, cool, and collected, and that spells trouble in Salem. Signs point to Dominic being tasked with keeping Stefano’s legacy alive, aka tormenting his enemies like the Brady family. Even Marlena feared that was why Dominic was in town, and it’s her worst nightmare.
Dominic gave his new family something to think about, but his arrival raised more questions than it answered.
