EJ WELLS DIMERA'S HISTORY
EJ Wells (Elvis Aaron Banks) was born to Susan Banks and Stefano DiMera on February 21, 1997. At the time, Susan, a Kristen DiMera look alike, was paid to give birth to a baby that would later be adopted by Kristen, who had miscarried John Black's baby. Susan found that Kristen was a cruel person (To quote Susan, Kristen's just "Mean, mean, mean!") and tried to take her place. She almost married John but when the wedding didn't go through all the way, she fell for Edmond and married him and moved to England with him. As far as we can tell, EJ was brought up by Susan, but Stefano was also a part of the picture. We recently heard (as of May 18, 2007) that EJ had grown up in Maison Blanche partially, with Stefano, who was somewhat of an idol to him. EJ was waited on hand and foot and got whatever he wanted, if only for the asking. He seemed to enjoy his childhood immensely, saying he and his father had a very good relationship and did everyday father - son things to strengthen their bond.
EJ came to town after years of being away, in order to do his father's bidding. He was told to plant his 'seed' into a Brady female of his choice and not to return to England until he had done so. When he came on to the scene, he was known as a race car driver. He moved in across from Sami and Austin and soon became friends with Sami. Austin and Sami were to wed, but Kate got to know EJ and the two plotted to ensure that Sami and Austin never married. EJ ingratiated himself into Sami's life and eventually, she refused to marry Austin.
Austin left town and EJ moved in on Sami and started the process of getting her to trust and fall in love with him. It appeared as though he really cared for her, but when Lucas started realizing that he was still in love with Sami, he and Will succeeded in breaking up EJ and Sami before they got too close. During the time that they dated, EJ started Mythic Communications with Kate Roberts and the two had a secret affair.
John and Marlena went to Italy to wed and met with an ailing Stefano. Marlena found out that EJ was a DiMera when she saw a photo of Stefano, Susan and Elvis on his table. When the two returned to Salem, John relayed the news to the Salem PD, and since the department was trying to link him to the death of Officer Eve Michaels, they tried to get dirt on EJ to send him to jail.
EJ was lured by Sami to a warehouse one night, where he met up with John Black. It appeared as though he shot John Black and it was witnessed by TEK who was an ex-cop from the Salem PD. EJ didn't see TEK watching the crime and tried to leave Salem for a while and found Sami on the road. She was seeking help for Lucas, who had his leg pinned by a log when the roof of a cabin that they were taking refuge in caved in on him.
EJ held a gun to Sami and asked her to take him through police barricades and in return, he would help remove the log from Lucas' leg. After she agreed to it and they got through police barricades, EJ then had something else in store for her. He asked her for sex in return for saving Lucas. Reluctantly, she agreed, knowing that Lucas could die from hypothermia. After this, Sami kept the rape a secret from everyone but became pregnant. Since she had sex with Lucas, earlier that same evening and was unsure who the father of the child was.
Sami went through lengths to conceal her pregnancy but when EJ found out she was with child, he demanded she have an amniocentesis performed on her so they could find out if he was the father or not. Sami refused and wound up marrying Lucas.
EJ tried in vain to break up Sami and Lucas but Sami surprised him and confessed to Lucas that EJ raped her and she almost killed him at the cabin that they were stuck at in the winter. She admitted the child she was carrying could be EJ's.
EJ followed them on their honeymoon to Maison Blanche, where he asked Celeste to perform a voodoo ritual to find out the paternity of the child.
Eventually, DNA tests proved that EJ was the father of Sami's twins. When Stefano found out, he made it clear that the only way to end the Brady/DiMera feud was by EJ marrying Sami. Sami refused but after John was killed by a hit-and-run driver, Sami agreed to divorve Lucas and marry EJ for her family's safety. After Sami gave birth and more tests were done, EJ learned that he was only Johnny's father, and Lucas was Allie's father. Once the babies were born, EJ and Sami were married but he was shot at the end of the ceremony.
As he was rushed to the hospital, EJ feared that he could be paralyzed. With Stefano threatening her, Sami tried to convince EJ that she cared for him, despite his insistence that she go back to Lucas. Sami stayed by EJ's side as he recuperated and eventually he was able to walk again. He pressured Sami to act more like his wife but Sami reminded him their marriage was fake. Lucas was later arrested for EJ's shooting and he was charged and imprisoned for attempted murder.
Marlena Evans Black pressured EJ to redeem himself by helping her exact justice on Stefano. After discovering that Rolf and Stefano had a strange man in the basement, EJ told Marlena and Marlena found John alive! Stefano was soon arrested for kidnapping and EJ, Sami, and her twins were sent to a safe house for protection. EJ was pleased that he and Sami were able to bond over the twins. Once Stefano was found in a catatonic state in jail, EJ and Sami were released from protection. With the threat gone, Sami pressured EJ for an annulment, but EJ stalled and told Sami that his visa was going to expire and that he'd be deported. Sami agreed to stay married to him and pretend that the marriage was real, for the sake of keeping her baby's father in the country.
EJ was allowed to stay in the US and he got a job as a lawyer in Mickey Horton's firm. Sami and EJ lived in the DiMera mansion together and bonded over the twins. Despite Sami's efforts to keep EJ at a distance, they gave into their feelings and made love just as Lucas was released from prison and into house arrest at the DiMera mansion. When Lucas caught them in bed together, he was furious at Sami and the tension between them and EJ grew.
Meanwhile, EJ had started flirting with Nicole Walker, whom he was also defending in her divorce with Victor Kiriakis. He also helped Nicole when her ex-husband, Dean Trent Robbins, revealed that they were still married. Eventually EJ was caught between his attraction to Nicole and his love for Sami. Since Sami made it clear that she didn't share his feelings, EJ began looking to Nicole for comfort. When they were stuck in an elevator together, EJ and Nicole gave into their feelings and made love, to be discovered by a furious Sami.
Eventually, Nicole Walker, who said she was barren before they had made love, revealed that she was in fact pregnant with EJ's baby. Wary, EJ had Nicole take a paternity test which proved that he was in fact the baby's father. Once Sami found out that Nicole was pregnant with EJ's baby, she moved out of the DiMera mansion and Nicole moved in. EJ told a pleased Stefano that he'd have more DiMera heirs.
EJ saved Sami's life when someone attempted to shoot her for witnessing the murder of Mayor Marino. Sami was taken away into a witness protection program, leaving EJ to care for Johnny. Meanwhile, with Nicole arrested for the murder of Trent Robbins, EJ worked hard to get her out on bail.
EJ is currently looking after Johnny and continues to reassure Nicole that he wants a future with her and their baby.

Friday, November 21 2008: Romance and Sin!
As Nicole reads the paper at the manse, EJ asks if she’s ready for her surprise. She is, and has a kinky surprise for him. He’s intrigued. She says it involves handcuffs. “Only not on me.” She shows him Nick’s photo in the paper and that he was found to be Trent’s murderer. She’s off the hook! EJ is thrilled, and kisses her, knowing his surprise is all the sweeter. He warms her up with lingering kisses and teases her. She hopes for a new car or credit card with no limit, but he pulls out a medium sized box, instead. She finds a scroll and reads. "Your bag has been packed for romance and sin, go upstairs and your journey will begin! Elvis, Jr., what are you up to,” she asks. He is taking her away for a romantic weekend and says he can’t get enough of her. She wonders if the day could get any better. He’s taking her to a cabin. Stefano watches from the doorway while Nicole goes to get her bags. EJ asks how long he has been there. “Long enough to have my spirits lifted!” Stefano says it’s a shame he has to postpone his plans. Stefano says their limo is waiting outside. Nicole runs in, happy that EJ packed sexy lingerie, and massage oil. She sees Stefano and stops talking. Stefano lets her know what’s up and EJ asks him to excuse them. He takes Nicole into the foyer and tells her the weekend of romance is delayed a little. He gives her directions to the lodge and a confirmation number. He’ll meet her later. They kiss and he tells her he wants this to be the most memorable weekend.
Nicole arrives at the lodge with the bellboy, who explains all the amenities. Nicole tips him and he leaves. She tells her baby that it has an incredible daddy, and then unpacks sexy lingerie. After she spies strawberries with chocolate and whipped cream, she sees a note from EJ, telling her she and the baby mean everything to him.
EJ calls Nicole just to ensure she arrived safely. The reception is bad, he says and after he leaves a message, he yells at Stefano that he’s leaving. Stefano says his priorities are screwed up. He convinces EJ to stay. EJ wants to know what this is about and is confounded when Stefano says he’ll fill him in on the flight to Argentina! EJ demands to know what’s in Argentina. Stefano will only tell him that when his kids are older, he’ll be happy to know where his assets are hidden. Stefano asks him not to be petulant and EJ finally agrees to go. He needs to talk to Nicole first, to let her know he won’t be going to the lodge. EJ tries to call her back but Stefano rushes him out the door. Meanwhile, Nicole unpacks, and doubles over in pain with more cramps.
A scantily clad Nicole eats strawberries covered in chocolate while she wonders where EJ is. He calls and she asks if he’s lost. He explains he tried to call. She tells him the cabin’s secluded and he’ll love it. He explains that he can’t make it due to the business trip. Nicole asks if he can’t go next week, but EJ says he took on a lot of responsibility for them and their future. He wishes he could cancel, but he can’t. He promises he’ll make it up to her and she says she’ll head home. The phone dies before Nicole can tell him she loves him. She suddenly starts cramping.
Thursday, November 20 2008: They’re Ingrates!
At the manse, Stefano is happy when he finds out that Nicole was released from jail. Stefano has research to do on the future DiMera heir and wants the child’s gender and name. EJ tells him that they’ve decided not to learn the sex of the baby just yet so he can’t help him. Stefano won’t stand for that. He needs his grandchild’s name on some documents. EJ reads them and becomes upset. Stefano likes Nicole a lot but knows she has a past. EJ is angry that Stefano has asked for visitation in the event of an estrangement. Stefano argues that EJ’s not thinking with his head. EJ yells that this doesn’t need to be taken care of and his hand won’t be forced. Stefano yells that if EJ wants him out of his life, he’s gone. That’s not what EJ wants. “I know that you’re motivated by love.” Stefano accuses EJ of not being motivated by love, and EJ points out Stefano’s track record. “Why do your children keep you at arm’s length,” he asks. Stefano booms, “Because they’re ingrates!” Stefano is trying to work on these relationships. Stefano wants to tell the chef to get a family dinner prepared so they can all dine together. EJ tells him they’ve got plans for Chez Rouge, but Stefano doesn’t listen. EJ realizes that Stefano will use this time to get Nicole on his good side. He mocks him, making Stefano laugh. Stefano offers EJ the reins of the family business to form his own legacy for his own kids. “I want you to be my true heir.” EJ refuses, so Stefano tells him he’s on his own. "The party is over. No more free ride.” Stefano points out that he and his family have been living in the lap of luxury, to which EJ retorts, “I didn’t know it came with strings attached.” He shakes Stefano’s hand, causing Stefano great happiness. “A very wise choice, my son.”
Nicole and EJ arrive back at the mansion’s great room while Stefano tells her what he and Elvis have been discussing. “Elvis has agreed to immerse himself in the family business.” Nicole is surprised and EJ apologizes for not telling her. Nicole doesn’t object to it. Stefano is happy and calls her a fine young woman. They toast to EJ’s future. Stefano leaves them alone and they start kissing. EJ tells Nicole he’s got a surprise for her and they take things upstairs.
