DiMera Family Reunion on Days of our Lives

British hottie James Scott (EJ Wells) no longer has to carry the diabolical DiMera torch all alone on NBC's Days of our Lives.

As previously reported, Thaao Penghlis will return as EJ's big brother, Tony DiMera, on May 24.

Plus, Days now confirms that other popular members of EJ's evil family are heading back to Salem: On June 6, Joseph Mascolo returns to his signature soap role as legendary supervillain Stefano DiMera. Also returning this summer are Leann Hunley as Anna DiMera and Renee Jones as Dr. Lexie Carver.

"This summer, we'll see the return of our most glamorous and fascinating family: the DiMeras," Days' co-executive producer Stephen Wyman tells TVGuide.com. "We'll finally get at the heart of our most powerful story; that of the vendetta against the Bradys. Along the way, we'll see characters who've been off-screen for years, and witness the explosive mix within the DiMera family itself of Stefano, Tony, and EJ... the three most charismatic and evil male characters in the history of Days. It'll be the hottest summer ever!"

Like many Days watchers, I'm absolutely thrilled Joe Mascolo is stepping back into Stefano's expensive Italian loafers. (Bring on the sinister chess games and opera music!) Whenever Days tries to tell DiMera stories sans "The Phoenix" himself, we always sense a major void. Now our cup of poison runneth over.

Boy, Steve Wyman really knows how to sell it, doesn't he? If only they would've thought of this "family reunion" a few months sooner, my soap dream would've come true and Kristen would've been back home with her daddy. Bastards!

Anyway, the "explosive mix within the DiMera family itself" line makes it sound like there will be some feuding between the bad boys. Perhaps Tony and Stefano can battle one another over Kate, just as I suggested? Hotness! LoL

I can't wait for May 24th and, even more importantly, June 6th!! I've been waiting for this for YEARS!! Wooo Hooo!!! The ratings will go through the roof if they handle this right. It's make or break time, and they've got the major players in place!!

I think we're going to see some infighting with the Dimeras. Although EJ was sent to Salem to carry out a plan of his father's, I don't think Stefano is going to approve of the way EJ's handled it. I'd love to see some huge clashes between EJ, Tony and Stefano! I would also love to see the explanation for how/why/when EJ came under the Dimeras' control, but we need Eileen for this (sigh).

June 6th is now the most anticipated day of this entire year for me (tv wise, lol). Only 33 days until Steffie returns!!

Joseph Mascolo oozes DAYS appeal...he is IMO one of the cornerstones of the DAYS franchise (along with BOPE, Deidre Hall, S&K, Sami).

I am VERY excited to see how Stefano is reintroduced, how he interacts with Tony/EJ, where the hell Lexie has been and who has her...where has Anna been all this time and exactly what are her intentions and thoughts regarding the family she married into.

Will Christie Clark be brought back for a Anna/Carrie reunion? Will Anna go after Roman? Will Tony/Anna be reunited? Will Anna go to the dark side? MAN so many delicious oppourtunities at hand here.

This is gonna be a OUTSTANDING summer for DAYS...I am just SO happy that the DiMera's are being brought back to the forefront where they should always be on this show.

The core familes of DAYS IMO have always been the DiMera's along with the Brady's/Horton's...so I am VERY happy!

Oh EJ is SO gonna turn his back on Stefano and protect Samantha. They were destined to be together and finally END the feud. Its in the cards....lol. But seriously all joking aside this has SUCH potential its crazy. Can you imagine family dinners at the Dimiera Mansion!? Lexie, Tony, EJ, Benji, AND Stefano? And we get to be there for the fun and the fireworks? Days will be can't miss for me!

    • I watched some of Friday's show. It was sweet to see Julie celebrate her wedding anniversary to Doug (their second - kudos to the writing team for remembering). Those moments with Julie are always so moving to me because you can tell they are straight from Susan's heart.  I know Patsy Pease hasn't been on DAYS in 15 years, but I still miss Kim in weeks that are so important for the Bradys and their history on the show. Michael Dietz was always a very likeable presence onscreen, even if he was never the greatest actor. That hasn't changed.  I was impressed with how well put together the montage was of John's various identities/memories. A number of those stories were ludicrous, and several of them never should have existed, but the way this was all crafted you could see just what a unique character all those parts made John...and how much Drake played the material as best he could, no matter what. The mirror scene was a great inclusion as that really wrapped everything of John together - viewers never truly knew who he was, nor did the people in Salem, but it didn't matter, as everyone loved him anyway. 
    • Been a long time, but always worth the wait!  1973 will be coming soon!  Hooray!!

    • Thanks @Paul Raven  Amidst these terrible stories I see we get the arrival of Heather. I never knew Alice forged references for her. No wonder she later became a murderer. She was a criminal all along.  The Jeff/Monica/Rick story always seems so brazen and so depressing all at once - I can't imagine how people would have talked about it in the Internet/Twitter era.  I don't understand the choice to put Audrey and Steve through even more misery after they had been separated for almost a decade. The sudden inclusion of magazine stories is fascinating...and I'm not sure if it is ever a huge story narrative for GH after this point, even when characters on the show ran magazines. The end of the Leslie and Cam story did not need to be like this (and feels a little rushed). Had every woman on the canvas at this time been raped?   
    • I am bewildered and fascinated by the choice to have John Loprieno and Adam Storke play out all their dramatic sequences here in clown makeup. They really took that circus motif seriously.

    • Happy belated birthday to Joan. Here's an interview with Jackie Collins at about 39 minutes.

    • Does anyone have a favorite adult Russ Matthews?  Which actor did you like most?  Sam Groom, Robert Hover, or David Bailey??  And why?   And if Russ had returned late in AW's run, what actor would you have wanted to portray him?  One of the former actors, or someone new??  
    • I think the move to NBC dealt a huge blow to SFT that caused the show to slowly bleed out throughout their almost five year run on that network. SFT was a CBS show and it really showed when it first started airing on NBC so I understood P &G having to make adjustments to the soap in order to make it fit onto the NBC schedule vs the CBS schedule. The 1983 Tomlin/Lee era was probably the strongest while it was on NBC.  They managed to still focus on Stu/Stephanie/Jo while developing a strong youth focus with Wendy/Warren/Suzi/Kristen/ Brian with the comic element with Rhonda Sue and her partner.  This helped the show from staying the Liza/Travis show.. which it was in 1981/1982.
    • Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has cross-referenced Spauldingfield's undated episodes with the German playlists? An angel has been uploading to the Soap Vault and it would be great to be able to date all those episodes. I have access to rename them, if anyone has a list.
