For months now, Days of our Lives has teased the character of Dominic Marino. In recent weeks, viewers learned that Marino is on the down low working with Sami Brady’s (Alison Sweeney) apparent fiancé ‘Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti), and that he is the never-before-heard-of child of Stefano DiMera (the late Joseph Mascolo) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)!
Up until now, the Peacock streaming soap opera has never revealed his face, but that all seemed to change on the Tuesday, October 2o episode of DAYS. In story, Dante met Sami’s parents for the first time, Roman (Josh Taylor) and Marlena.
He shows them a photo of Dominic, which he happened to have on his own phone and even commented he kind of looked like he could be Marlena’s son. The photo, which has quickly made it around Soap Twitter/X, revealed that British-born actor Kyle Pryor is the man in the photo and eagle-eyed viewers actually located said photo on Pryor’s Instagram.

Deadline revealed Pryor started taping at the end of 2025 and will first be seen in the role, on air Monday, November 2. In addition, Days will celebrate its 61st Anniversary with two special episodes featuring Dominic’s arrival, as well the returns of Tony and Anna DiMera, played respectively by Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley, on Friday, November 6 and Monday, November 9.
Those in the know, are are that Pryor previously held series regular roles on Australia’s Home and Away, and the UK’s Hollyoaks and guest starred on Emmerdale. In an ironic twist, Pryor appeared in the series Spartacus: Blood and Sand which is the same action series his apparent TV brother, Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera), once appeared in before coming to DAYS.
So excited to see Kyle Pryor take on the role of Dominic Marino as Days of our Lives sets its anniversary story to kick-off with is arrival in Salem? Share your thoughts in the comment section. And in case you missed our latest conversation with Conner Floyd (Chad DiMera) he weighs-in on how Dominic’s appearance will shake things up in Salem. You can check that out below.

Days of our Lives’ Conner Floyd Talks Dominic Marino Mystery, Chad and Belle, and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Exclusive)
Fasten your seat belts Days of our Lives fans, as the mystery of Dominic Marino continues to unravel on all-new episodes of the Peacock streaming soap opera. Last week, Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) learned that he may have a half-brother, who may be the biological child of his father, the late Stefano DiMera (the late Joseph Mascolo) and Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), giving him great pause, because he knows Stefano had kidnapped Marlena for four years back in the late 80s and early 90s.
Chad has already been hunting down clues with his current girlfriend Belle Black (Martha Madison) in Italy and Salem, which revealed a photo of a young boy with Stefano with the date 1992 on the back of it, hidden inside Stefano’s chess set. So, what’s next?
Conner Floyd chatted on the Michael Fairman Channel in a new virtual interview released on Sunday, October 18, where he spoke on what the new addition to the DiMera family could do to the already dangerous sibling rivalries, the state of Chad’s relationship with Belle and much more.

DIMERA RIVALRY
After finding out from EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) that Dominic Marino could be the never-before-heard-of child of Stefano and Marlena, Conner Floyd explained, “I think it blows Chad’s mind a little bit. I think there’s a lot of things working there with old Chad. Obviously, bringing in another DiMera could cause some noise and the whole situation with Marlena’s a little awkward as well because he’s dating Belle, so this could cause a little tiff there. I think his head’s spinning and he does not know what to expect, but I also think he kind of expects that from Stefano, for sure.”
As to how this will change and color Chad’s relationship with EJ, Floyd responded, “Chad knows EJ’s not happy about it and I think he’s going to be real upset if this gets in his way of doing what he wants to do with the DiMera legacy and all that. However, for Chad, I think he’s just going to keep a sharp eye, see what this guy’s about, see if he’s here to cause some trouble or here to be a friend and kinda play it by ear.”

BELLE OF MY HEART
With Chad and Belle already being sleuths, Floyd says, you can look for the duo to continue getting to the truth. “I think Chad and Belle are committed to this. They’re going full National Treasure, Nicolas Cage,” says Conner. “They’re going to follow the clues. They’re going to get some answers.”
Since beginning in the role of Chad in June of 2025 and debuting on-screen back in April of 2026, the former Y&R star (where he played Chance Chancellor), says it was Madison who helped him get comfortable in his new surroundings.
“Martha is phenomenal. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to get tagged up with when I started here, just because she knows everybody,” shares Floyd. “She knows where to go, who to talk to. She’ll get the tea if you want, and so it was kind of cool. Martha took me under her wing, showed me the ropes. She’s a sweetheart. I love working with her too. She’s a great actress.”
But, is Chad in love with Belle after such a tortured past with his beloved Abigail Deveraux DiMera? Floyd thinks so! “I think he’s into it. They’re such good friends and they have such a rich history. I think he’s in for the ride. You know, it’s one of those things you probably overlook at first and then they reconnected, and it feels easy and they’re going on these fun adventures.”
MAKING CHAD HIS OWN
Conner had the arduous task of being the successor to Billy Flynn in the role of Chad.. Flynn had played the part for 12 years before deciding to exit and head to Y&R. So, how did Conner approach learning the ins and out of Chad? Floyd shared, “I really dove into Chad when I first got this job. I liked that he kind of walks this tightrope of DiMera and not DiMera, you know. He want to so honor his family roots and really do something for the DiMera family, but he doesn’t want to fall into that trap that all the other DiMera have found themselves in. Chad is a DiMera at heart. He’s got those demons, but he’s just trying to keep them contained.”

ICONIC
When Floyd got to DAYS, it was none other than Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) who most surprised him in the most delightful way, given that he knew Hayes was a Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and the current longest-running cast member on the canvas.
“I love working with Susan Hayes! I love her. She’s a sweetheart. Susan is one of the nicest people there. I just thought she was cool and it’s Susan Hayes, you know? We’ve had a lot of scenes together, which is nice,” explained Conner.
“We’ll go to her dressing room, we’ll run our scenes, and then we’ll spend about an hour just talking about life and she’ll tell me about a book she’s reading. She’s such a history buff, which blows my mind. She’ll start dropping all these historical facts on me. I learn something new by the time I walk out of her dressing room every time!”
Now below, check out the full conversation with Conner Floyd via the Michael Fairman Channel.
Weigh-in: Do you like Chad and Belle as couple? Do you think Chad will get to the bottom of the Dominic Marino mystery? If so, do you think Dominic is truly Stefano and Marlena’s son … and what about Rita (Maggie Carney) in all this? Let us know your theories in the comment section.

Stefano and Kate, baby!!!!!!!
OH yeah, 2 villains together, just like EJOLE ! !
I root for good writing first
If i can choose the pairs that i want to see on Vday that would be Brady/Chloe Broe always has been my fav couple every now and then they have this little scene that keep me waiting for more there’s a lot to explore about what happen between us in vienna
I also root for Ej/Sami mostly because of the crazy chemistry between james and ali i would want the writers to give them a real chance
I love Bope , State and Magic wish they were more on screen
Mate is hard to enjoy knowing that’s going to end soon 🙁
I loved Carly & Lawrence, so I’d never root for Carly & Daniel – besides CC and SC have anti-chemistry together, on the awkward scale they’re a perfect 10 together. Both excellent actors but they a zero in the romance department. Especially compared to Daniel & Chloe who have the most amazing chemistry even though their storyline never got much time & attention.
I love Carly with Lawrence too, bring him back.
Love Safe
Love Nicole and Brady
Love Philip and Chloe
I’m just not seeing Gabi and Will as a couple, why any girl be into Will is beyond me, ugh. My teenager doesn’t think much of Will either, she thinks he’s too whiny and boring.
Though I am happy about Victor/Maggie and Stefano/Kate the most exciting couple on that promo is Philip diving in to save Chloe. Philip could dive in to save me anyday, lol!!! Why Ken Corday and Dena Higley didn’t have the common sense to utilize Jay Johnson more is beyond me, this is Days and the viewers loss. Here was this big paternity storyline where he’s the father of Chloe’s baby and it featured Daniel and Melanie. Blah! I am going to miss JKJ as Philip I hope he lands a great role on prime time.
Happy for Bo and Hope, it will be interesting seeing what happens between them but poor Carly. I guess Daniel and Carly are going to be put together, at least she isn’t his patient.
Don’t care about Taylor I hope they don’t stick her with Ej since she is such a goody-goody. Miss Brady and Nicole together, they were exciting to watch.
EJAMI they should have been in the promo DOOL keeps missing the boat on one of the best couples they have! The best couple ever IMO with the hottest chemistry between two charaters, my hope is that DOOL’s writers wake up and start to write for this great couple before they lose alot of their viewers. I will never buy EJ and Sami with anyone else when EJAMI’s love story has yet to be written.
EJ and Taylor have me so excited!
I’m also rooting for Philip/Chloe, Maggie/Victor and Stefano/Kate!!
Criss just said it all for me.
EJ and Sami need a good story writen for them.
Who cares about any of this other stuff being writen for them, or any of the other people they are put with.
EJ and Sami are gold.
If EJAMO is so gold, why do they ALWAYS tamk the ratings?
Oh yeah, because he RAPED her.
And you may be surprised soon as to what tanks the ratings.
It won’t be EJ and Sami since they’ve been destroyed, that is for sure.
Oh, gee the rape argument again: how stunningly refreshing (sarcasm)…
First of all, there’s been rape before (eg: L & L on GH; L & B on DOOL) so if the will is there, tptb can turn it around if they want it to. Those couples became very popular and were even “supercouples” on those cited soaps. EJami, on the other hand, have NEVER had the writing in their favor, nevertheless, they have a massive following…
Second, as you STILL don’t realise: a couple does NOT make or break the show! There are other factors that contribute to a ratings increase or decline (eg: storylines, pacing, weather, etc). Furthermore, the ratings are in the crapper at the moment and is EJami anywhere in sight? Nope, as mememe mentioned, they have never been further apart and from the looks of things they won’t be in the cards anytime in the near future (since tiic are hellbent on destroying them).
EJ and Sami. Always EJ and Sami.
Here that, PTB? EJ and Sami! 😀
Sami and EJ, we’ve waited long enough for crying out loud!
Criss hit the nail on the head. EJ and Sami with the extraordinary chemistry James Scott & Alison Sweeney share are compelling & charasmatic together with unlimited potential. It is so hard to comprehend why TPTB don’t capitalize on this goldmine they’ve got with them. EJ and Sami are the couple I just can’t ever give up on. When something is so natural & engaging as what EJ & Samantha share nothing else will do. They get my vote & always will.
I will always vote for and want Ejami!!! The chemistry and connections between Alison and James far outshines ANY combination with either actor!!
Time for an EJami payoff. Everyone else and his brother have had one.
EJ and Taylor…start from scratch…so many possibilities. I never want to see Ejami on my screen again…I am so tired of the wash, rinse, and repeat.
Also Philip/Chloe…they have always belonged together..
EJ & Sami. Nothing else will do.
EJ’s heart is Sami’s. And vice versa. She needs to remember who she is and stop being afraid to embrace how she feels. Taylor? Sorry, not buying it. I’d also like to see Carly and Lawrence and Jennifer and Jack—wishful thinking maybe.
Finally, something for this EJ fan to be excited about! I’m looking forward to and rooting for EJ and Taylor! I’m tired of watching EJ pine for a woman that doesn’t love him and has never made him her first choice-EJ deserves better! I want to see EJ in love with a woman that will unabashedly love him with her whole heart and shout it to the world regardless of him being a DiMera! James Scott, the Four-Peat Adonis should always be in a romantic story! GO EJames and GO EJaylor!
I want to see Brady/Nicole together again. I cannot understand why the show just threw away that pairing when he and Nicole sizzle together. The fact that Nicole was placed with EJ just to be a spoiler to EJ/Taylor just stinks. I want Nicole back with Brady ASAP!!!!
Sami and Rafe all the way!!!
I would love for a well written love story for EJ and Samantha…once this nightmare is over!
I want EJami together, always have, always will..
Your statement “get together and stay together in Salem” poses a problem for me because Days doesn’t do “stay together”.. They put people together briefly so that they can tear them apart. And for me, personally, their disrespect for the institution of marriage is offensive, especially considering Day’s illustrious past.
Melanie and Philip married although, on the eve of her wedding, Melanie was writing letters to Nathan inquiring about his feelings. Then shortly after the wedding Philp committed adultery because he “thought” Melanie had betrayed him.. They had Dr. Dan marry Chloe so that Dan, who is no angel himself, could reject Chloe for her infidelity… to heck with his marriage vows. They had Sami ready to marry EJ as payback for Rafe “sleeping” with Nicole (or so she thought), only to, weeks later, confuse her children by marrying Rafe. And now they are having EJ marry someone he doesn’t love to set the scene for his falling in love with another woman…
The fact that the writers are so cavalier about the promises two people make at the altar is not only offensive, it is a testament to how inept the writers are. They use infidelity in marriage as “faux angst” because they can’t create real angst for their characters. Just this Friday, Bo said to Hope , in a most “manly” fashion, “let’s go home” after the scales fell from their eyes; and Bo decided his year-long, adulterous relationship with Carly was a mistake; and Hope decided she was not so angry with Bo after all and perhaps Chiara deserved to have her family intact.. What made my jaw drop was the fact that the writers used such a classic phrase in such an inappropriate way… But Day’s writers are masters of the inappropriate.
Thus, I suggest that there are no couples that meet your initial criteria on Days because Days doesn’t believe in love, marriage, fidelity, romance, happiness or forever after… They believe in lust, adultery, meaningless promises, perpetual triangles and musical beds… But in a world other than Days, I would definitely say EJ and Sami would have every other couple beat by light years… JMO
Kudos to you…so true!
I want EJ and Sami to finally be given a real chance. I have never been so in love with a couple before and find it maddening that TPTB are totally blind to the gold they have in these two. The chemistry meter is off the charts and unfortunately makes any other pairing seem pathetically bland by comparison.
I say bring on Ej and Taylor. Ej needs a woman in his life that isnt like Sami or Nicole. Ej and Taylor forever. I liked what I have already seen between them. Bring on more Ejaylor.
Keep Sami and Nicole away from Ej.
Put Brady and Nicole back together. Keep Sami with Rafe.
SAMI and EJ deserve to finally be together and happy.
I would love to see Chad and Will, their chemistry is off the charts hot! Not to mention, how perfect would it be to have another DiMera/Brady “forbidden love” story?!?!
Nathan and Melanie should find their way back to each other and preferably with Mark Hapka! Molly and Mark were made for those roles.
Brady and Nicole are meant to be.
I am loving the Stefano/Kate & Victor/Maggie pairings. They are perfect matches for each other.
I’m with maej26! EJ and Sami all the way! And I’m rooting like mad for Chad and Will. TPTB continue to waste chemistry. Go EJAMI, CHILL AND BRICOLE!
Days’ writers can turn anything into a plot point…
Next to Sami and EJ’s unbridled potential… I like Maggie and Victor… 🙂
I’m rooting for Victor and Maggie and EJ and Taylor.
EJ and Sami. I can’t believe what the writers have done to EJ so that Taylor can come in and humanize him when we’ve already seen that happen with Sami.
Stefano and Kate. I never thought of those two together but they work.
Bo and Hope never should have been broken up so they’d have something to do with Carly.
Brady and Nicole and Victor and Maggie are also on the list.
Sami & EJ, Nathan & Melanie, Sami & EJ, Chloe & Phillip, Sami and EJ. Did I mention Sami & EJ? Sami & EJ – I will accept no substitutes!!
Sami and the real Rafe and Bo and Hope. I want my SAFE back. Not liking this fake rafe coming into Sami’s life.
There is only one SAFE and that is Sami and Rafe(the real one)
Actually I prefer FAKERafe, he has a little bit more life to him (for as far as GG’s acting abilities will allow) . Let the REALRafe rot away in his jailcell. Good riddance!
I want to see EJ and Sami back together. I am not excited about Taylor with EJ. It seems false and too juvenile for me. EJAMI share children and need to be together rasing them. Its time for Sami to recognize that she has no children with Rafe and to stop making him the father figure when her children already have fathers. Rafe has made Sami a boring character something I never thought possible. Bring back the romance and excitement that is EJAMI.
if you look up the words chemistry, magic, riveting, compelling, sizzling, love you will find EJAMI. They have it why try and force something dead on viewers when you struck gold with James and Ali. give them a real chance Corday. Also love Brady and Nicole, Daniel and Chloe, Kate and Stefano and Maggie and Victor. am happy with either bope or Carbo but first and foremost give us EJami and soon please.
The couple I would love to see the only couple that I have invested so much of myself in, the only couple I found mesmerizing……EJ and Sami….aww the possibilities.
EJ and Sami all the way baby. 😀
I want them returned to their former glory – before Dena Higley and crew got their grubby hands on them and tried to destroy them utterly. The chemistry between the two actors make any other attempted pairings an insult to my intelligence. The fact that EJami have never been given any kind of serious attempt is the elephant in the room of every other relationship they have and it is bloody distracting!
I’m tired of the writers manipulating this viewer. Instead of writing strong couples they simply nobble other pairings to make them unrootable for (yes I’m aware that isn’t a word but these writers are bucking for it to become one).
I’m gritting my teeth against this latest ‘great’ romance KC says he has planned for EJ. It will no doubt be so over the top and forced as they beat us around the head and command us to ‘feel the chemistry’ between this new pairing, just as they did with Sami’s latest pairing. I’m sick of being told how I am going to feel about every new pairing and who I should root for. Sami’s latest pairing is a perfect example of having something shoved down your throat over and over again with OTT writing and vilifying everyone else to support it. It’s lazy, sloppy writing and I’m expecting more of the same for this latest ‘wonder pairing’ of KC’s. God give me strength!
Watching the manipulative writing of turning EJ into a monster just so KC’s latest bright idea can ‘save’ him is turning me right off. It is so obvious what the writers are trying to do and it is very hard to remain open to a pairing when you are being backed up against a wall from the very start. It’s hard to remain open minded when we’ve had three years of these writers and we all know what passes for ‘romance’ with these guys – cheesy, puerile or sexing each other up endlessly. There is never any kind of story written around these pairings and the only ones that have a shot are ones with history from previous writing teams like EJami, Bope and Carbo. If you’re looking for these writers to create a story from scratch between characters that you can get lost in and fall in love with then you should know by now, you’re going to be waiting a looonnnnggg time.
Besides, what does it matter to root for anyone because at the drop of a hat they will reinvent the characters, drop s/l’s and change history to suit their latest plot point. I can’t get to know these characters because they turn on a dime without any explanation so why should I care about who they are with?
But I do care about EJ and Sami because of what they were under a different creative team and the way Ali and James just come to life around each other. So for me I will always adore EJami and hope and pray we will one day get writers with enough vision and balls to give them to us.
You said what I wanted to say but I didn’t have the words.
I am so turned off by what these writers and they’re uninspired writing I’ve turned DAYS off.
Maj
You said it all so eloquently I would like to see EJAMI given a chance. The trouble with theses writers imo is nothing is ever resolved The shooting Johnny’s cancer what about the family dealing with the chemo the doctors said he would need. EJAMI should be together dealing with issues not sexing it up These writers have done all they can to destroy EJAMI but because of the on screen chemistry between JS & AS all other pairings fail. For now I have tuned out because there is no story I am interested in and I will not give KC & Company my ratings
I agree with everything you said, Lou!! The writers need to drink some caffiene, stop meditating and do some REAL writing.( BTW: I feel that Taylor is TOO young for EJ…she seems more suited to Phillip or Will or Nathan or something. But EJ? I don’t think so. It sort of creeps me out a little.)
I agree with you abut TPTB turning EJ into a monster over the last couple of years. I remember when Sami was trying to be a “good Brady” but had this tough, though somewhat evil side to her and EJ tried to be a “evil Dimera” but had this good side to him. THAT WAS POWERFUL!! What the HELL is going on over there? KC get a clue!
Sami and EJ! Give them a chance already! ( I would like the writers to learn how to write a romantic story, first, however!)
Only EJAMI for me ! 🙂 Just can’t beat the chemistry. An EJAMI romance is what I want.
Beyond a doubt EJ and Sami is what I want to see. The dynamic pairing of James and Alison have the most chemistry than any other couple on this show just wish that TPTB would quit being so biased in their own interpretation of the story lines.
Give EJ and Sami a chance, something that TPTB have NEVER done!! Michael what are they afraid of in this joining?
EJ and Taylor! It’s time for EJ to be in a real relationship for a change. Sami has broken his heart too many times and Nicole betrayed him in the worst possible way. EJ needs a fresh start with someone who will love him unconditionally, and I’m hoping that Taylor will be that person!
The only reason I started watching this show again was for Ejami…the most chemistry any couple on daytime has ever had would be JS & AS portrayal of EJ & Sami. I stopped watching in September and will NOT return unless they are paired with one another. I can’t stand to see Sami with thsat loser and definitely am disgusted that EJ would go back to that HO! I now watch Y & R and understand why it is number one!
I am wanting someone new with EJ. It’s just something I’ve wanted for him for some time. I’ve seen their meeting and the clip for Monday’s show. I liked what I’ve seen so far with EJ and Taylor so my vote would have to go to them. I also like Stefano/Kate, Victor/Maggie, Brady/Nicole, and Melanie/Nathan.
I forgot to add I like Bope as well.
Sami and EJ…no one matches their chemistry, Bope, Victor & Maggie….Nicole and Brady, Chloe and Phillip and Stefano and kate.
Maybe they should try Rafe and Taylor together since both of them are too good to be true.
You know, I’m actually looking forward to NL and GG having a scene together. I have a feeling they would have chemistry together and I’m not just saying that as an EJami fan, I really think Rafe and Taylor could work. Besides, they are on the same level just as EJami, Bricole, Magic and State are on the same level.
Ejami…….thats all I want…Those two are hot enought to bring the romance for the entire show!!
I vote for EJaylor!!
Oh please. Stop impersonating others. How childish.
Hey Everyone!
Glad you are all passionate about your DAYS couple. BUT, if you all continue to in-fight and personally attach each other. I will take this post down.
This is not a site for “Trashing” others.
BTW mememe this is not directed soley at you this is for this entire post, before it gets out of hand.
Michael
I love the chemistry between Ali and Galen, Safe all the way!
I am definately looking forward to EJ and Taylor.. They are what soaps are all about. The beautiful girl next door and the handsome bad boy falling in love.
Romance.. who knew it still exsisted in daytime..
I’m definitely rooting for EJ/Taylor. EJaylor has an exciting new beginning and the possibilities are numerous. I appreciate that EJ is being given a lady that truly reciprocates and has mutual feelings for him and from the get go no less. For the most part, I have yet to see that for EJ until now. Taylor is a totally worthy woman for EJ. And I believe can and will shine like the romantic lead that I know he can be just given the chance. I am sick of always seeing such absolute dysfunction and domestic violence in regards to EJ/Sami and on some level a lot of other characters. One half of a couple truly wanting the other one dead is a deal breaker for me. That’s not love or romantic in the slightest. EJaylor has the potential for real romance and I can’t wait to see what tptb have in store for them. Bring it on!
I’m also pulling for Philip/Chloe, at least while we can. And Stefano/Kate, Victor/Maggie.
SAFE all the way! I’m so fed up with the angst that are thrown at them all the time. I want TPTB to give them a chance to be happy. Enough of the lies and manipulations of one evil interloper!
SAMI and RAFE sizzle on my screen. They are the new super couple on DOOL!!!
GO SAFE!!
Looking forward to seeing what happens between EJ & Taylor!
Not at all happy with the bland tepid couples in salem. Stefano and Kate are the only couple in the promo that I think truly love each other.
EJ and Taylor is almost laughable. She’s such a goody goody and he’s just too complex a man for this type of romance. He and Nicole were a bit interesting when they were co-habitating and sniping at each other for the children. Now Nicole is well on her way to being clingy with him.
Sami and Rafe bore more to tears. Rafe 1 or Rafe 2 – it doesn’t matter. This chemistryless couple has gone on too long.
Personally I prefer Carly and Bo though I do respect the Bo/Hope fans and that couple’s place in DAYS history. I hope they don’t commit to which way to go. I hope they write for the individual characters first – all three actors deserve a good story.
And I do want EJ and Sami to reunite and be the true power couple in Salem. They are sexy and fascinating. I miss scheming smart sassy Sami who doesn’t worship any man including EJ. I want her to finally let herself feel for Stefano’s son what she always had denied. I like that they challenge each other – God I miss them.
So I’m really very disappointed in the current couplings on DAYS.

I agree, it doesn’t matter which Rafe Sami is with both pairings are boring and awkward. I use to love watching Sami Brady but anymore she is dependant on Rafe, needy, whiny, and clingly. Her and Ej were exciting and sexy, I would love to see them back together. More importantly, she was strong and Independant. Ej is the one that truely accepted the real Sami Brady.
Ej and Samantha as Ejami pure gold still cannot understand why this show has to brow beat us, why can’t they just write a powerful compelling lovestory for Ejami?? I feel like this show is going out of it’s way to bully Ejamis just for being passionate about this show and our couple who we saw the magic in them and it wasn’t pre-created in any way, contrived we saw the special gift to entertain with love, humour, passion, and family. Please write them a wonderful lovestory, Jamison bring that magic to our screens like no other as Ejami their intimacy gets better and better…it is a once in a lifetime gift and this show should be capitalizing on it not exploiting it. Bring on the magic of Ejami.
Other couples, are Will and Chad – I think it would be really nice to have a controversial relationship like this, they do have amazing chemistry and it would really bring this soap out of the dark ages and into something fresh and modern of the people today who watch this show.
My 2nd fav couple was actually Bricole, I started to actually like Nicole when her and Brady boozed in bed, I like her best with him. There is more humour, fun, and hot romance. Eric who plays Brady is doing an amazing job, he really has given Brady charisma and brooding quality that just compliments Nicole’s quirkiness.
3rd couple is State, I love how Kate and Stefano have such strong dynamics together much like Ejami…it brings a delicous powerfulness in their relationship that is exciting, passionate and a wonderful intimacy.
4th couple which is not possible anymore since poor Mark got the boot, but I saw some potential in him and Melanie. I find they make her too old when she is with Phillip, I like her being young, bubbly, and full of humour. Mark really was developing his character Nathan, but he dared to ask for more storyline and now he is out.
5th couple Viv and Gus – I really enjoy Viv, she is totally crazy but her humour is awesome and something this show is desperately lacking. It is a pity they don’t utalize Louise Sorel better, she is an amazing actress who can carry any scene, where as other actors are getting way too much screen time and cannot carry their own scenes, I won’t dare to mention names!!
I think EJ should move on from Sami. I like Taylor. She is so bubbly and sweet!! I defintiely want to see EJ and Taylor. I am a former ejami fan. Ejami is all about rape, violence, and abuse. Ejaylor will bring true romance!!
That’s not all they’re about and Corday has really screwed the pooch with his insistence on EJ and Taylor.
Everyone knows that this isn’t Powermouse, so give it a rest.
EJAMI 4 EVA. They burst with chemistry and I want to see them together. I dont get why Ejami has never been together and the stiff boring couples like Ejole and Safe have been given a chance. Go Ejami!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
