Days of our Lives’ Kristen has been taking no prisoners as she pursues her vengeance against EJ. Kristen’s hatred for EJ just cost Theo the image of a grandfather he knew and loved dearly, and it has opened a can of worms for him.
Key Takeaways
- Theo has always held Stefano in high regard.
- Abe lied to Theo about his grandfather.
- Theo’s whole world was changed in an instant.
Learning the DiMera Truth
What started as Kristen (Stacy Haiduk, one of our picks for a Daytime Emmy nomination) issuing a warning to Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews) about EJ (Daniel Feuerriegel) turned into a bombshell that Theo never expected. The more Kristen accused EJ of being just like Stefano (Joseph Mascolo), the more Theo defended his grandfather and uncle.
In true Kristen fashion, she didn’t pull any punches as she told Theo that Stefano was responsible for the brain tumor that killed Lexie (Nikki Crawford). The news changed Theo in an instant.
Despite Abe’s (James Reynolds) thoughts on the DiMera family, Theo has always taken pride in being a DiMera. Theo saw the good in the family, especially his Nonno. However, he wasn’t oblivious to the fact that some of them, like EJ and Kristen, are not the greatest people.
None of that got in the way of Theo having love for his DiMera family. Kristen took that way from him with the truth, which now means Theo will have to evaluate everything.
Theo already started when he grilled Abe about not telling him the truth about Stefano’s involvement in Lexie’s death all those years ago. After a lifetime of believing one thing, Theo’s world has been rocked, and it will change him.
Kristen just forced a shift in her nephew. The question is how this impacts Theo. Could it be the news that pushes him to channel his inner dark side, or will it force him to cut ties with his DiMera family?
Anything is possible, but one thing is for sure. Theo isn’t the same person now that his image of Stefano has been shattered, and he knows his whole family has been lying to him for years.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only news that will lead to a shift in Theo. Lexie’s condition is getting worse by the day, and she doesn’t have much time left.
Theo will no doubt blame EJ for bringing her mother back and taking her away again. It will further add to how he views the DiMera family.
