Elvis "EJ" Aaron DiMera and Samantha "Sami" Gene Brady DiMera[1] (also known by the portmanteau EJami for EJ and Sami) are fictional characters and a supercouple[2][3] from the American soap opera Days of Our Lives. Since 1993, the role of Sami Brady has been portrayed by actress Alison Sweeney. James Scott originally portrayed the role of EJ DiMera when the character was introduced on May 30, 2006, but in 2021 when EJ finally returns for the first time on-screen since his supposed death in 2014, he is now portrayed by actor Dan Feuerriegel. Scott says that his days of acting are now behind him.[4][5]
The pairing is noted for a controversial storyline in which EJ is considered to have raped Sami.[6][7] They are also noted for being a popular pairing.[8]
