According to Soaps, Dan Feuerriegel knows that "Days of Our Lives" fans love the pairing of EJ DiMera and Sami Brady. However, he doesn't necessarily see them as endgame. "I don't have that history with Alison Sweeney, so I don't know the intensity of the relationship," the actor admitted. Feuerriegel went on to reveal that it seems EJ's life is always hindered when Sami returns to Salem and turns his world upside down. Now, he's hopeful that EJ will be able to move on from Sami and start a new romance, possibly with his ex-wife, Nicole Walker.
"It would be kind of cool to have a storyline where EJ is just madly in love. Fixated, and it's separate from all the drama. It kind of grounds him," the actor told the outlet. "There's no drama with it — well, there has to be drama — but he's just madly in love."
Although EJ and Nicole could never figure things out in the past, things could be different this time around. The pair may have a chance to build a solid relationship that isn't based on fear or lies. Instead, with Sami out of the picture and Nicole's exes, Rafe and Eric, seemingly gone from her life for good (via Soap Spoilers), now could be the perfect time to re-examine an EJ and Nicole romance. Feuerriegel seems to be on board.
