Sweeney’s return couldn’t come at a busier time for her character as Sami’s ex-husband E.J. (Daniel Feuerriegel) is currently hospitalized after being shot by an unknown assailant. Upon returning to town, Sami walks in on her sister Belle (Martha Madison) declaring her love for E.J. Most importantly, her son, Johnny (Carson Boatman), just found out the tragic circumstances surrounding his conception.
Back in December 2006, on screen, Sami went on a romantic cabin getaway with her on-again/off-again love interest Lucas “Roberts” Horton (Bryan Dattilo) when tragedy struck, and Lucas was trapped as the roof of the cabin collapsed . Desperate for help, Sami ran to the street to find help. There she ran into E.J. (James Scott), on the run for having shot her stepfather John Black (Drake Hogestyn). E.J. forced Sami to help him avoid a police checkpoint, and afterward offered to assist her and save Lucas’s life, but in exchange E.J. explained that he was tasked by his father Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) to “plant the DiMera seed” with the Brady of his choice, and Sami was to be given the honor. After discussing the situation, Sami gives in to E.J.’s demands, thus conceiving her son John “Johnny” Roman DiMera. E.J. proceeds to hold up his end of the deal and saves Lucas’s life.
Discussing her scenes with her on-screen son, Sweeney said, “I felt such a responsibility to honor the storyline,” she expounds. “I have so many conflicting feelings because there are so many Sami fans who have stayed with me and post on my social media, so I feel very connected to them. I remember what a huge uproar this storyline caused when it happened, and how all the different fan bases felt about it. I know a lot of them still watch the show, and I felt immediately like I was neck-deep trying to tackle a Days of our Lives fan controversy, never mind the real-life controversy of this particular issue. I worked really hard on the material and worked with the writers about the material. I hope I put our best foot forward in regard to the scene.”
This will not be the only time Days of our Lives fans will see Sweeney’s character, as the actress is set to make additional visits to Salem this year as the soap honors the passing of Drake Hogestyn this summer, and will be participating in the soap’s 60th anniversary this November.
