Why does ej have an accent

He was great in Spartacus. Mary Cutrer. He is very handsome!! Aimee Dyer. Sammi, no kidding. He sounds brash and full of himself.

Nothing at all like James Scott. Rebecca A Litchfield. Sandra Pavone. Denny Liska. Nobody will fill James Scotts shoes, apparently. This guy is awful!! Glad we concur, Celia. Just not believable. Anna Munos.

Not interested in him. Not even close to the original EJ Dimera. Lisa Sutorius. The other Lis. Violet Lemm.

I did not think Dan's accent was fake at all. Just an Aussie trying to be a Brit. Bellajewels commented. I didn't realize that they were so close in height. It looked like such a difference. Yeah, I could detect the slight difference in accent. I kind of wouldn't care if they just let him use the normal Australian accent.

EJ has been gone since I think people could accept the change since you know, he isn't JS lol. I don't think he does. He's clearly not actually English and the accent sounds like an affectation.

I don't think he and AS have any chemistry either. I'm not against him as EJ though. The actor is fine. But, I think he and JS are vastly different in what they're bringing to the character. It will be two different portrayals, which I don't mind.

I don't even like EJ so it's super okay with me. Karen73UK commented. Accordingly to Ron, Days recast the spirit of EJ rather than a guy that looks alike. Plus, EJ was burned, so he would be different Overall, Dan Feuerrigel is excited to be playing EJ.

Days told him that this is who, the audience was soo in loved with. So, I hope their scenes together don't overpower the show. I think the new actor did a good job today. Originally posted by dee2 View Post. Me either.

Samii still acts as ditzy as ever. The writers really need to let her grow up some. Brenda4ev commented. They really haven't allowed Sami to grow up in a decade. However, negotiations continued shortly after the news broke about Scott's potential departure. James issued the following statement: "It has always been my wish to continue working with Days of our Lives, and in light of recent reassurances given, I am optimistic of my future here at Days.

On October 5, it was confirmed that Scott had re-signed with the series for another year with his contract set to expire in April Scott later extended his stay for another year. On May 2, , Soap Opera Digest confirmed that Scott had wrapped filming and would exit the series screen sometime in the fall.

Prior to his debut, Scott revealed that there were some similarities between his new character, and his former alter ego Ethan Cambias. The only thing Scott was told about his character was that he was a race-car driver.

Though it does not completely define the character, it does affect who EJ is. EJ is not easily affected by everyday life because he is used to operating in high pressure situations, like racing. Whenever his life is in danger and he is forced to make a decision, it puts EJ at "ease".

Scott was allowed to use his natural British accent in his portrayal of EJ. In , BuddyTV referred to the character as a "dashing" anti-hero, because he is a "good guy" and a "bad guy" all in one. EJ, like any other person, has a dark side to him. In , Deanna Barnert described the character as "nefarious. At the time, Susan , a Kristen Blake look alike, is paid to give birth to a baby that would then be adopted by Kristen.

Marlena Evans , however, manages to foil the plans of both Kristen and Susan; Marlena and John reunite, and Susan is content to then find love with Edmund Crumb. EJ enjoys his childhood and claims that he and his father have an excellent relationship.

EJ agrees to help her only if she has sex with him in exchange for saving Lucas; reluctantly, Sami agrees. Afterward, he helps Sami get a beam off of Lucas, but then leaves them to die in the snow with no way out.

EJ brainwashes Steve Johnson and forces him to kidnap a comatose John Black, and transplants one of his kidneys into a dying Stefano.

When Sami learns she is pregnant, Celeste Perrault reveals that EJ is the child's father but warns him that Stefano wouldn't approve. His brother, Tony DiMera convinces him to kidnap Sami and harvest the stem cells from the unborn child to save Stefano's life. EJ changes his mind and helps Sami escape at the last minute. Sami later learns she is carrying twins and Stefano orders them to marry so they can end the feud between the Brady and DiMera families once and for all.

Sami welcomes her twins in October and it turns out that Lucas fathered the little girl, Allie and EJ fathered the little boy, Johnny. After John is killed in a hit and run accident, Sami marries EJ in November , blackmailed by Stefano and EJ and against her will, but he is shot at the altar by Lucas it is later that we find that Will, Lucas' son is the one that actually shot EJ.

EJ promises to change and set a good example for the twins while Lucas is arrested for EJ's shooting. Later, Sami's mother Marlena Evans gives him a chance to redeem himself by bringing down his father. EJ knew that a brainwashed John Black was in the basement of the DiMera mansion and decides to reunite him with his family in January To stay safe from Stefano, EJ and Sami move into a safe house where they bond over raising the twins.

They plan to have the marriage annulled but the death of Sami's grandpa, Shawn forces them to put it off. When they finally get another chance, EJ puts it off by pretending that his visa has expired and Sami agrees to prolong the marriage until he can deal with immigration. Meanwhile, EJ and Sami make love for the first time in May , just in time for Lucas to be released from prison and catch them in bed. Sami discovers EJ's ploy to stay married to her by bribing the immigration agent, and their annulment is finalized soon after.

In July , EJ and Nicole get trapped in an elevator together and end up having sex. Nicole learns she is pregnant but hides it when she has a miscarriage. Nicole also learns that Sami is pregnant by EJ and plans to keep it from him. However, she later switches Mia's baby with Sami's baby. EJ and Nicole marry in April EJ went to war with Philip Kiriakis and his father Victor briefly but they soon call a truce.

EJ is devastated after Grace dies in June and Sami tells him that he was the child's father. EJ learns from Brady Black that Nicole had a miscarriage and he kicks her and Sydney out of the mansion.

EJ severs ties with Stefano again when he learns that Stefano assisted Nicole in her schemes. In December , Nicole attempts to skip town with Sydney but the child is stolen from her by someone else. It is soon learned that EJ staged Sydney's kidnapping and death to get revenge on Sami for keeping the child a secret; his sister in law, Anna DiMera was his accomplice. EJ was seen as the "hero" when he suddenly brought Sydney back home and he and Sami got close again.

However, Sami wasn't through with him, and when she learns of his plan to take Johnny and flee the country, she shoots a drunken EJ in November leaving him for dead.

EJ wakes up from a coma believing he and Sami got married but they eventually tell him the truth, that she was now married to Rafe. Rafe's sister, Arianna finds proof that Sami shot EJ but she is killed in an accident before she can get it to him. Stefano also reveals to EJ and his sister, Lexie Carver that they have another brother, Chad Woods , the biological father of baby Grace.
