Days of our lives spoilers: RUMOR! James Scott returns as EJ and Dan Feuerriege is leaving DOOL.
🔥 TV Soap News & Spoilers: Is James Scott Returning to Days of Our Lives?
Greetings, devoted fans of Days of Our Lives! Welcome back to TV Days Drama Digest, where every heartbeat, betrayal, and resurrection in Salem gets the spotlight it deserves.
Today, we’re diving into a rumor that’s set the fandom on fire: the potential return of James Scott — and even more jaw-dropping — the resurrection of the legendary Stefano DiMera.
Hold on tight. This is a wild ride.
🔍 The Spark That Lit the Fire
The Days fandom is used to twists — but this rumor hit differently.
It all began when whispers started circulating online: James Scott, the magnetic actor behind EJ DiMera (2006–2014), may be making a comeback. And not just any return — possibly connected to the resurrection of his father, Stefano DiMera, the ultimate villain.
“James Scott IS EJ. If he’s back, I’m cancelling everything to watch,” one fan tweeted.
The rumor snowballed on X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and fan forums. Fans dissected vague interview quotes, blurry behind-the-scenes photos, and “leaked” storylines like they were decoding secret DiMera files.
🧬 The Heart of the Rumor: EJ or Someone New?
At the core of it all was one burning question:
Would James Scott return as EJ, or as an entirely new DiMera?
EJ’s death in 2014 was a gut-punch for fans. Though Dan Feuerriegel took over the role in 2021, bringing his own powerful edge, Scott’s version of EJ remains iconic, especially for his electric chemistry with Alison Sweeney’s Sami Brady.
Some fans want Scott back as EJ — to reignite the fire. Others fear Feuerriegel’s version would be pushed aside, leading to tension in the fandom.
But then came a twist: What if Scott isn’t coming back as EJ at all?
Enter the theory: a new DiMera — a secret son, long-lost cousin, or dangerous enforcer sent to resurrect Stefano.
“Imagine James Scott as a darker, more dangerous DiMera — free from EJ’s past,” one Redditor speculated.
The possibilities? Endless. The drama? Guaranteed.
🔥 The Phoenix Rises: Stefano DiMera’s Return?
Every soap fan knows: death is just a suggestion in Salem.
Stefano DiMera, played by the legendary Joseph Mascolo until his death in 2016, was known as “The Phoenix” for a reason — he’s “died” more times than anyone can count.
And now… rumors swirl of yet another resurrection.
Could a tech-fueled twist — maybe AI, brain chips, or digital consciousness — bring Stefano back? Could Scott’s mysterious character be the one to unleash him?
“If Stefano comes back and James Scott is involved, I’m DONE — I’m watching every episode LIVE,” said one fan.
Even the most skeptical viewers admit: this is the kind of insane, over-the-top soap storytelling that works.
🧊 Cold Water, Harsh Truth
As thrilling as it all sounds… there’s a problem:
There’s zero official confirmation.
No press release. No teases from producers. No cryptic Instagram post from James Scott.
In fact, Scott left Days in 2014 to become a life coach, and by all accounts, he’s thriving. In a 2017 interview, he said:
“Acting was an incredible ride, but I’m where I’m meant to be now.”
His silence since then has fans wondering: Is this all just wishful thinking?
“We want to believe… but it feels like chasing ghosts,” one fan wrote.
💭 Dreaming Big: What If?
Let’s indulge in fantasy…
Imagine this:
A mysterious man arrives in Salem — suave, dangerous, unmistakably a DiMera. It’s Vincent DiMera, played by James Scott. He’s revealed to be a secret son of Stefano, raised in the shadows to fulfill the Phoenix’s vision.
He allies (and clashes) with EJ (Feuerriegel). They uncover an underground DiMera AI project meant to digitally resurrect Stefano.
Chaos erupts. Betrayals mount. Sami returns, torn between old love and a new threat. And in the DiMera mansion, Vincent’s true plan is revealed:
He doesn’t want to revive Stefano… he wants to replace him.
It’s vintage Days — explosive, emotional, unforgettable.
💔 The Fans Speak: Hope vs Reality
What this rumor reveals isn’t just thirst for plot twists — it’s emotional longing.
Fans miss the golden era of EJ and Sami, of Stefano’s games, of jaw-dropping family drama. James Scott returning represents a connection to those days — and hope for one more taste.
Some are ready:
“If James Scott’s happy as a life coach, I’m happy for him. But if he ever wants back… we’ll be here.”
Others say it’s time to move on:
“Let Stefano rest. No Mascolo, no Phoenix.”
