Hey, girls, I'm late to this convo. I'm very busy this weekend. But why is it we think John is EJ's father now? I'm not sure what I think of this. If they used it to make a point that Ejami is related, that is the one positive that might be worth making this happen and as y'all pointed out, John is still a Dimera so Ej would still have Dimera in him. I just don't want EJ to go all goody goody because he has John for a father and some Horton for a mother. I'm confused, though, I see some are saying Hope could be the mother, but wouldn't she know if she had a baby??? And KA just looks too young to be EJ's mother, but I do miss seeing Hope have a son around. I just don't see Chad being the soul Dimera heir and man enough to continue the business. As much as the Ejami being related tempts me to want John as the father, I still in my heart want EJ to be Stefano's.

If they are ignoring the John/DiMera lineage, which so far they are, I think they'll ignore the John/Brady lineage, too. After the "horrific" smex Will saw, I do not think they'll even HINT that Eshami could be related in any way. If anything, they will create a new backstory for John if they do decide to make EJ John and Princess Gina's... Which I really hope they don't.
I, too, miss the Colleen/shirley Jones story. I kinda liked the idea that John was a hybrid, esp. when he was robo John. It oddly made some sort of cosmic sense (I'd forgotten about the Alamain thing; actually, they could make John full-on Alamain and make EJ an Alamain; they might as well if they're gonna unDimera EJ...) But I digress.
I totally think they are going to ignore John's lineage in favor of Jarlena = Eshami. (Just for the record: Jarlena came about bc when they brought back original Roman -- 1980's Roman -- Wayne Northrop, whom I loved! -- they were supposed to put him back with Marlena, but Drake and Deirdre were so damn popular they scrapped the idea and did Jarlena instead (Which I personally never did get. It was much better when John was Roman; their relationship was much better then. Later, as Jarlena, there was just too much heavy petting and soft porn for my tastes.)
So in the Jarlena story, the original planned couple (Marlena and Roman) was scrapped for a couple with more popularity. If we follow those lines of thinking, Eshami is SO not Jarlena. Ejole would be the couple they scrap Eshami for... Just saying.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually hoping that Daniel is just EJ's half-brother. Or even that EJ is a complete orphan and not related to anyone. How innocuous that all seems right now. Though I like Ejady as half-brothers, I don't want that freakin comparison of Eshami to Jarlena, which I KNOW they will do if they make John EJ's father.
And I don't think they'll redo Johnny and Sydney's parentage. Too much work for one soap to handle, I think. (I wish they would, though!! I, too, want Lucas back.)
All this makes me glad James only signed on for a year. But I fear "the fallout" of couch smex and parentage will happen just in time for him to leave Salem for good. I can only hope he takes Nicole with him, but... sigh.

I'll admit this is good drama but am I the only one that would be completely heart broken at EJ no longer being Stephano's son??

And EJ is the perfect DiMera. I will wear black on the day they unDimera him. These writers, while they have a plan, which is way better than Dena, they seem to not want to put in the effort to write genuine bad guys. (It's harder to come up with nefarious storylines that made the Days of old SO much better than it is now.) So, the easy way out is to reshuffle the deck.

I completely agree. Nice to see I'm not alone on that. I would be so devastated if John turned out to be EJ's real father. Probably not for the same reason as most because I actually like John and Marlena most of the time but for the reason that John being EJ's father would mean that Stephano is not and that would truly break my spirit John being EJ's father would put a catastrophic rift in the entire dynamic of the Dimeras and what makes them work. EJ is the one true Dimera Heir and I will not have that messed, not for all the drama in the world.

I think the whole story is ridiculous and it would be sad if I can't have any more JM and JS scenes. Maybe this has to do with JM's reduced screen time? He's getting up there in age and maybe wants to cut back?

He's getting up there in age and maybe wants to cut back? Yeah, I could understand that but I just love the dynamic between these two so much. Their connection is unlike any other father/son duo on the show JM and JS work so brilliantly together..I'd hate to lose that. If JM is looking to lighten his work load I'd much rather they find another way to keep him off screen but keep him as EJ's father.

I totally want EJ to stay Stefano's son, I was just saying that if the writers are going to go down the whole EJ gets new parents road, John would make for good drama and still keep him a DiMera. I really hope they are only messing with his maternity and not his paternity at all! I love EJ fulling embracing his Dimera side as his father's son.
