At least he’s being realistic about it. Days of Our Lives spoilers say that EJ knew that he was going to get slugged by Stefan when he found out that he was having revenge sex with Gabi. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Days of Our Lives Spoilers: EJ Believes Stefan’s Punch Was Warranted
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, actor Dan Feuerriegel, says that this has been quite the unexpected family affair.
But then again, if there’s anything that we’ve learned about life in Port Charles, it’s that you can always expect the unexpected, right?
The actor put it this way, “EJ expects everyone to be violent towards him, because he’s been punched and slapped so many times.”
“I definitely know that he has a sense of, ‘You guys are all hypocrites. You [cheated], then she [cheated], and now all of a sudden it’s all my fault?!’ There’s definitely that kind of exasperation.”
But then again, Dan says that his character is well aware of the reputation that he has when it comes to stuff like this.
The actor wrote, “Therefore people are going to look at him a particular way. So in regards to the characters, if EJ does something – even if he wasn’t the instigator, even if he wasn’t pulling the strings – he’s going to cop the brunt of the blame.”

“Also, it’s a natural instinct of Stefan to go after EJ, because he still loves Gabi and he’s protecting her. He cannot believe that Gabi would be the one to initiate [sex with EJ]. So he believes it was EJ. ‘EJ’s the one that convinced her. EJ’s the one that seduced her.’”
Now, as far as why EJ slept with Gabi in the first place, Dan says, “It was more along the lines of EJ just being nice to someone who was in a little bit of pain.”
“And he understands. There’s an element of empathy and sympathy, because he just went through this, too.”
Of course, fans will have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next. Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on the Peacock streaming network.
