Stefano DiMera

Basically, they're creating flashbacks.

And a lot of it is her time on the island under Stefano's control.

So I wonder if Marlena sees herself in a bad situation with Stefano in a lab or a hospital room, maybe even with a baby bump.

Steve gets some unsettling news from Bo and Hope and it looks like it is about Dominic Marino because this week Steve is over at Marlena's apartment and tells her we were able to find Dominic's birth certificate.

So Steve has got a digital copy on his phone and he hands it to Marlena who's reading it aloud.

And she is claiming this name's Stefano DiMera as the father and the mother is.

And Marlena looks shocked.

Our leaker told us that she is Dominic's mom.

Hey, Days of Our Lives fans.

We got an update from our trusted leaker couple of days ago that Dominic Marino is indeed the long-lost son of Marlena Evans and Stefano DiMera.

And the leaker also said that Dominic takes after his diabolical late father.

It's Belinda from Soap Dirt, and please click subscribe before we dive in.

And of course, we also wondered if Dominic might have just been an alias.

But now that we've seen Dante in the room with Dominic, it's clear that Dante is cooperating with Dominic, but they are not one and the same person.

All summer long, Belle Black and Chad DiMera have been following breadcrumbs tied to the chess set that Stefano DiMera left for John and Marlena.

And you'll remember the chess set that Stefano gave them was missing a pawn, and Belle and Chad found that significant.

one.

Theo is leaning on Lonnie, and he makes a confession, and this may be about his work at DiMera and his suspicions about Johnny acting weird.

Friday, September 18th is season 62, episode 20 of Days of Our Lives, and Rita faces an interrogation by EJ about what she may know about Dominic Marino.

This week, Rita is looking up at Stefano's portrait, and she's saying, "'It's playing out as we planned, sir.'" It's pretty clear that Rita's loyalties have turned away from EJ, but really her loyalty has always been to Stefano.

But the best villains and best written villains do.

Stefano DiMera was another one.

Roger Thorpe was another one.

There's people who just that, you know, they did suffer major loss.

I just assumed maybe like oh-

Did Stefano keep getting plastic surgery so he could terrorize Marlena? I don't know.

[laughing] Well, yeah.

That's what ...

If I'm going in ...

Maybe I'll, if I can get into the Witness Protection Program.

You know who could have pulled this off? Stefano DiMera.

He could have pulled all this off.

She's got direct access to the company office.

She's been involved with the DiMeras behind the scenes ever since Stefano was alive.

Rita is very loyal.

She takes orders.

She has access to everything, including the areas where Ari's unattended purse was left.

So she could have taken photos and returned without it being noticed.

Rita is very loyal to EJ and all the DiMeras.

Cowboys fans, training camp is here, and your official season blanket has arrived.

They've been talking about her impaling niggas for seven damn months.

She's basically Stefano DiMera.

He had a bunch of people killed.

He just ain't do it.

EJ had funded Dr. Rolf's work to bring back Lexi after she was presumed dead for 15 years.

And with Mark Green's help in the lab, Rolf was able to make EJ and the late Stefano DiMera's bondest wish come true, and they brought her back.

Sadly, the miracle serum stopped working in the lab rats and also in Lexi, and Rolf even tried administering a second dose of magic juice to help Lexi, but that didn't work, and then a third dose.

So Rolf swore to EJ that his work with bringing back the dead is done.
