Days of Our Lives’ Alison Sweeney Can Hardly Contain Her Excitement: ‘Big News to Share’

There is something brewing on the horizon.

Days of Our Lives star Alison Sweeney (Sami) created quite the buzz on Twitter last night with a tease into something big to come today. “So excited,” she began, “big news to share tomorrow! Stay tuned!”

So excited… big news to share tomorrow!! Stay tuned!!!

Those who follow Sweeney know she is currently working on a Hallmark trilogy, The Wedding Veil, with fellow network favorites Lacey Chabert (All My Children, Bianca), Autumn Reeser and Kevin McGarry (When Calls the Heart). Could this exciting news be more details surrounding her latest project or maybe it’s about another new movie for Hallmark — or another company, or…

Could it be to introduce the newest member of the Days of Our Lives family, Dan Feuerriegel? For those who haven’t heard, Feuerriegel has been tapped to play EJ DiMera and we all know that Sami has been talking a lot about the issues between her and EJ, especially now that she’s cheated on him with Lucas!

Though there is plenty of drama going on in Salem these days, right now would be the perfect time for EJ to reappear and add fuel to the fire. The question remains… will EJ forgive Sami? We don’t think it’ll be as simple as Lucas believes, saying that if EJ doesn’t forgive Sami, he doesn’t deserve her.

What do you think? Judge for yourself after taking a look back at EJ’s life in our gallery below filled with photos of memorable moments, from the time he was ordered to kill John Black to trying out life as a respectable DiMera to heading back to the dark side.

<p>James Scott first showed up in Salem in 2006, going by “EJ Wells,” Sami’s sympathetic, just slightly creepy neighbor. But sketchy never stopped Sami from romance, and sparks started flying between the two. And for once, we can’t blame her!</p>

<p>While on the run after shooting John, EJ ran into Sami who needed his help saving an injured Lucas. EJ agreed, in exchange for her having sex with him. That rape resulted in Sami getting pregnant with his child, Johnny — while also pregnant with Lucas’ daughter, Allie!</p>

<p>Not only was Sami forced to have sex with EJ, but she was also coerced into marrying him to end Stefano’s vendetta against the Brady family. It almost worked… but then Will shot EJ at the altar! </p>

<p>Despite their problematic start, EJ and Sami eventually grew close. EJ even severed ties with his father upon discovering John was being held captive in the DiMera mansion tunnels. Murder and rape were all well and good, but brainwashing? Perish the thought! </p>

<p>EJ made a go of a normal life with Sami, going so far as to work as a lawyer at Mickey Horton’s firm. But just as they fell in love, Sami reunited with Lucas and EJ turned to Nicole for solace. Cue feud in three… two…</p>

<p>Eventually, EJ returned to the family fold as the DiMera lawyer. Nicole became pregnant, but lost the baby — not that she told him! Conveniently, Sami was also pregnant with EJ’s child, so Nicole just stole her rival’s baby and passed it off as her own. As one does.</p>

<p>After learning about the baby swap, EJ won Sami back by kidnapping and “rescuing” their own baby, Sydney. And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for that darn Rafe outing EJ’s baby-napping scheme and putting an end to his and Sami’s wedding plans!</p>

<p>Next up, EJ survived Sami shooting him and he married Nicole to help his custody case against his ex. But then, EJ fell in love with Nicole’s sister, Taylor, hired a Rafe doppelgänger to ruin Sami’s relationship and… well, it’s never a dull moment for the Brit!</p>

<p>Unable to resist each other for long, Sami and EJ reunited. Together, they faced Nick blackmailing Will, Chad taking a bullet meant for EJ and Sami trying to kill Nick. They got through all that mostly unscathed, but then EJ had to go and have an affair with Abigail (then Kate Mansi)!</p>

<p>Sami found out about EJ’s affair, but went through with their wedding anyway. But, this being Sami, it was all part of her revenge plan. Just as they took their first dance as husband and wife, she orchestrated it so EJ was arrested for tax evasion!</p>

<p>Alas, EJ made bail and won Sami back, but he had no money or job due to her machinations. So, that kind of backfired… Eventually, he turned to illicit dealings, which led him to Clyde Weston and his men. And that, of course, got him shot and killed — temporarily!</p>

<p>After rehabilitating, EJ finally returned to Salem in 2021 (now played by Dan Feuerriegel) and quickly became embroiled in DiMera business. He was also there to repair his marriage to Sami, but promptly threw her out of when he found out she cheated on him with Lucas!</p>

<p>…Out of mind! Unbeknownst to EJ — or anyone else in Salem — Sami was kidnapped almost immediately after he threw her out of the house. But what did he care? He was too busy shacking back up with Nicole! </p>

<p>When Sami escaped captivity, she and EJ planned to reunite — after she informed him she’d never leave him alone or sign his divorce papers! Super healthy relationship there. But his arrest for Sami’s kidnapping put a crimp in those plans — despite Lucas being the guilty party!</p>

<p>Proving he’s got a thing for blondes, EJ’s stint in jail got him <em>real</em> close with his lawyer (and Sami’s sister!), Belle. And Shawn was not taking that sitting down. But he was taking it standing up!</p>

<p>Thanks to Satan and Jake’s help (as is shockingly typical in Salem) Gabi took over DiMera Enterprises while EJ was in prison. But when he got out, his attempts to take it back were less than succesful! At least there’s always Clyde’s drug business to fall back on! </p>
