In a twist that’s sending shockwaves through the Days of Our Lives fandom, a wild rumor is making its rounds — James Scott, the actor who famously portrayed EJ DiMera, may be making a sensational comeback to Salem. But here’s the kicker: it might not be as the beloved (and often controversial) EJ!
According to inside speculation and some mysterious on-set leaks, James Scott has reportedly been in quiet talks with DOOL producers. While nothing is confirmed by NBC or the actor himself, the chatter has reached a fever pitch — and fans are already buzzing about what this comeback could look like. Could the legendary actor return in an entirely new and unexpected role?
James Scott: The Face Fans Have Missed
For many longtime Days of Our Lives viewers, James Scott’s portrayal of EJ DiMera defined a generation of soap drama. With his sharp British accent, magnetic charm, and morally grey persona, EJ was the kind of villain-turned-antihero who kept fans riveted. When Scott exited the role in 2014, it left a massive hole in the DiMera legacy.
While the role of EJ has since been recast — currently played by Dan Feuerriegel — many fans still feel that Scott’s version remains the definitive EJ. His absence has been deeply felt, and fans have long hoped for his return, whether to reclaim his role or shake up the canvas in another form.
A New Character… or a New EJ?
The most explosive part of the rumor? Insiders suggest Scott may be returning not as EJ, but as an entirely new DiMera or even a secret twin — possibly a character written specifically for him.
Could he be Stefano’s last surviving secret son? Or maybe a long-lost brother of EJ, raised abroad and unaware of his true lineage? Some fans speculate he might return as the next villainous puppet master, someone with deep ties to the DiMeras but an agenda all his own.
Another theory making rounds is that Scott could return in flashbacks or dream sequences, providing psychological tension to current storylines, especially involving Sami, Johnny, or even Nicole.
What This Could Mean for the Storylines
With current tensions brewing in Salem — including the fallout over EJ’s shooting, the DiMera family power struggles, and Johnny’s legal chaos — the return of James Scott could completely reshape the landscape of Days of Our Lives.
Imagine a mysterious new figure arriving in town, charming and dangerous, slowly inserting himself into the power structure of DiMera Enterprises, while toying with the emotions of characters like Nicole, Chad, or Kristen. The possibilities are endless — especially if Scott returns as someone out for revenge against both EJ and Stefan.
And let’s not forget the potential impact on Sami Brady. A Scott return could open the door to dramatic Sami-EJ nostalgia, even if he’s not playing the same character. It’s the kind of meta-layered storytelling that DOOL excels at.
No Confirmation Yet — But Fans Are Hopeful
Despite all the buzz, NBC and James Scott have not confirmed any comeback. Scott himself has largely stayed out of the spotlight since leaving Days, reportedly focusing on personal growth and spiritual coaching.
Still, with the soap celebrating milestone anniversaries and viewership riding high amid bold storylines, now might be the perfect time for a major surprise return. Bringing back James Scott, even in a new role, would be the kind of shock twist that Days of Our Lives thrives on.
Until we get official word, fans will continue watching — and hoping. Because in Salem, no one is ever really gone.
