On the October 1 episode of Days of our Lives, Marlena worried to Brady about the possibility of Dominic being her son, and what he must think of her. Marlena is very upset about this development. Here is why she really shouldn’t be.
Key Takeaways
- Marlena struggles to understand how she and Stefano could be Dominic’s biological parents.
- She worries Dominic may believe his mother abandoned him.
- A biological connection doesn’t necessarily make Dominic Marlena’s family.
How Could Marlena and Stefano Be Dominic’s Parents?
Marlena (Deidre Hall) wondered to Brady (Eric Martsolf) how she and Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) might be Dominic’s biological parents. She swore that during all the years he held her prisoner, he never touched her.
She wondered if another woman might have carried her embryo. (Does she remember how she and Tony [Thao Penghlis] originally thought they were Cassie and Rex’s parents, because a comatose Marlena had given birth to them? Kate [Lauren Koslow] and Roman [Josh Taylor] turned out to be the true parents.)
Stefano loves playing biological roulette! He’d have had no trouble at all harvesting an egg from Marlena, then using it to create their offspring via a surrogate mother.
Dominic May Share Marlena’s DNA, But Nothing Else
Marlena asked Brady if he thought Dominic knew about her. If Dominic believed his mother had abandoned him. Marlena was very perturbed. Don’t be perturbed, Marlena. This man, whoever he is, has nothing to do with you.
Even if he does have a tentative biological connection. So what? Marlena didn’t raise him. He means nothing to her. Brady, who is not Marlena’s biological child, is her son. She raised him. Brady has said, numerous times, that she was a mother to him.
Dominic Could Be Trouble Marlena Doesn’t Need
Dominic was Stefano’s science project. Odds are, he was taught to hate the Bradys. Which is why Marlena should stay as far away from him as possible. If there is one thing she knows, it’s that love makes a family, not DNA. Dominic is no son of hers, no matter what.
