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 looked Johnny and continues to reassure Nicole that he wants a future with her and their baby, but Nicole lost their baby while he was away on business and faked the rest of the pregnancy with a pregnancy pad, blackmailed Dr. Baker so he'd go along with it and she found a young mother, Mia McKormick, who gave birth and sold her Sydney for 10K, which EJ gave to her for a wedding gown. Nicole feigned giving birth and swapped babies when Sami gave birth to EJ's daughter, the same day. She now has Sydney, who is EJ and Sami's daughter and Grace, Mia's child went to Sami (and later died). EJ isn't aware of any of this, but can tell Nicole is hiding something. He found out from Sami,when Grace died, that Grace was his (but she's not) and tried to punish Sami for keeping the truth from him by taking full custody of Johnny from her but Nicole put a stop to that. In the meantime, when Stefano was kidnapped by Victor, during all of this, he had Stephanie kidnapped by Owen, the gardener and spy who worked for the Kiriakis'. Eventually, Stephanie was freed by Philip, and the families have since decided to stop feuding.
