Days of Our Lives Spoilers: BREAKING NEWS – DOOL Brings Back Both James Scott and Brandon Barash?
In a stunning move that has fans buzzing across social media, Days of Our Lives may be bringing back not just one, but two of the most iconic actors in its recent history: James Scott (EJ DiMera) and Brandon Barash (Stefan DiMera). If true, this casting shake-up could mark a game-changing moment for the DiMera family saga — and set Salem up for its most explosive storyline in years.
Double Trouble in Salem?
While nothing has been officially confirmed by NBC or Peacock, insider sources and behind-the-scenes whispers strongly suggest that both actors have been spotted around the DOOL set in recent weeks. A leaked call sheet that circulated on fan forums shows the names “James S.” and “Brandon B.” scheduled for scenes together — leading many to believe the brothers may be making a joint comeback.
Fans are already speculating wildly: Is this a flashback? A dream sequence? Or are the DiMera brothers really both alive and ready to reclaim their thrones?
James Scott’s Long-Awaited Return
James Scott, who portrayed EJ DiMera from 2006 to 2014, was a fan favorite from the moment he arrived. His chemistry with Alison Sweeney’s Sami Brady became legendary, and his shocking death in 2014 devastated viewers. Although EJ has been mentioned and even presumed “alive” in past storylines, Scott has been reluctant to return — until now?
Rumors suggest that the new writing team is crafting a gritty redemption arc for EJ, one that would position him as a major player in the DiMera legacy war. If Scott is truly stepping back into the role, it could spell trouble for Nicole, Johnny, and even Gabi, who has ties to both DiMera sons.
Brandon Barash’s Possible Comeback
Brandon Barash’s take on Stefan DiMera, though initially met with skepticism, quickly won over audiences with his charm, sarcasm, and surprising depth. His “death” in 2020 devastated fans, especially those rooting for his relationship with Gabi. Although Barash later returned to the canvas as Jake Lambert, that character was also killed off — or so we thought.
Speculation is now swirling that Stefan may not have died after all — and Barash could be reprising the role under dramatic circumstances. Could Stefan and EJ team up? Or will they be pitted against each other in a bitter DiMera civil war?
What It Means for the DiMera Empire
If both James Scott and Brandon Barash return as EJ and Stefan respectively, it sets the stage for a power struggle of epic proportions. With Kristen and Chad already deeply entangled in DiMera business, and Gabi looking for her next big move, the addition of two formidable DiMera heirs could shatter alliances and re-ignite old rivalries.
Gabi might be torn between past love and ambition. Nicole could see EJ’s return as a threat to her plans. And Johnny might have to choose sides — between his father and his uncles.
Fan Reactions Explode Online
Social media platforms have lit up with excitement. On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag #EjandStefanReturn began trending within hours of the rumors breaking.
One user posted, “If DOOL brings back James Scott and Brandon Barash together, I swear, I’ll never complain again. THIS is the DiMera drama we deserve!” Another wrote, “All Salem needs now is Sami Brady to walk into the DiMera mansion holding a glass of wine like nothing happened.”
Final Thoughts
While the news has not been officially confirmed, the signs are pointing toward something massive brewing behind the scenes at Days of Our Lives. If James Scott and Brandon Barash are truly on their way back, the impact will be seismic — not only for the DiMera dynasty but for the entire town of Salem.
One thing is certain: DOOL fans need to buckle up. The drama, betrayal, and family chaos are just getting started.
