Days of Our Lives Spoilers: New Photo of DiMera Mystery Patient - EJ Recast or Decoy?

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that the EJ drama is going to heat up in the coming days. Sami (Alison Sweeney) will be released from police custody and will be on a full-scale search to find her true love. At the same time, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) will be tending to a male mystery patient in an undisclosed warehouse while Brady (Eric Martsolf) trails her.

But who is this male mystery patient? A Days video promo for Fall 2018 showed a bandaged male in a wheelchair, with Sami approaching him and calling out to him as EJ. In the promo, he called out to “Samantha,” leading many viewers to conclude that Sami had found EJ. But whether this was James Scott reprising the role or a new actor assuming the role of EJ was unclear.

But now, a new photo has surfaced on the web that looks to be from the upcoming edition of ABC Soaps In Depth. The photo, which is labeled “Friday, October 12,” shows Kristen interacting with a male patient in a wheelchair who is clearly not James Scott. Soap Opera News is reporting that the actor in the photo is Trey Baxter. Trey is a professional model and does bear a resemblance to James Scott.

This picture raises some questions. First off, could Trey be the new (recast) EJ? Of course it’s possible, but it seems suspect that DOOL would choose to announce a recast in this way. Perhaps the man in the photo is someone who Kristen is trying to pass off as EJ. It’s entirely possible that Kristen could be pulling a fast one and that she hired an EJ lookalike to fool Sami and everyone else.

Something that’s interesting is that the man in the photo is healthy looking and unbandaged. But the Days promo video clearly shows Sami approaching a man with facial bandages. This further supports the theory that Kristen may be up to something, and that she may be trying to pass off somebody else as EJ. Why else would she need him to be bandaged up when Sami arrives?

Whether this is really a new EJ recast or just a trick on Kristen’s part remains to be seen. What’s your take, now that you’ve seen the picture? Stay tuned to DOOL and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Days of Our Lives spoilers, updates, and news.
