Days of Our Lives: Marlena & Stefano’s Secret Love Child – Big Signs Dropping!

Days of Our Lives prepares for the reading of the will of Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) and there are changes in the atmosphere. First, Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) was added to the list of beneficiaries and Theo Carver (Cameron Johnson) was revealed as the new executor thanks to a codicil that EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) just learned about.

So, there’s also talk about Marlena and Stefano’s past and hints that make us wonder if the Phoenix and his Queen of the Night had a child together that we never knew about. And we’ll talk about the big twist that might be coming.

So, it’s possible that the writers have done a major retcon of known history and may have introduced a twist to someone’s birth. Not my father. But giving birth as a different mother. So, before we get into Marlena and Stefano’s baby twist.

The Big Days of Our Lives Are Coming

So, of course I think that the reading of Stefano’s will will bring a lot of twists and turns for many of the DiMera family and people close to them. And some of these twists can be connected to his continuing surprise that has lasted for decades with Marlena.

So last week when Abe Carver (James Reynolds) talked to Theo, he revealed that besides Marlena, he thinks Lexie Carver’s (Nikki Crawford) mother, Celeste Perrault (Beverly Todd), was the only woman Stefano really loved. And Abe also revealed that Stefano may have liked Celeste more than Marlena. Mainly because Stefano had a child with Celeste. But is there more to it? And we’re about to get a major retcon that could shock fans and the DiMera family.

Marlena looking for a big shocker on DOOL?

Given that Stefano had a pet mad scientist Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) when talking to him, I mean honestly anything is possible when it comes to secret children. So, will Stefano twist and manipulate Marlena’s life beyond the grave? We should see the will be read next week, the week of May 4 to 8.

So, EJ has already spent time with Marlena this week talking to her about hypnotherapy. Because he wants to find out more about his time in an Italian hospital with Cat Green (AnnaLynne McCord). And EJ also encouraged Marlena to attend the probate. But he wasn’t sure.

Could Chad be Marlena’s son on dates?

So, if there’s a twist like this coming, I wonder if EJ is in the dark about it or knows about it. So, even though Stefano, who was Marlena’s abuser, is confirmed dead and buried, he lives without rent on his head. And EJ told Marlena that showing Stefano’s will would shut him up.

And we know, of course, that Marlena is curious about what’s going on. But he also said that this is not a new thing. He is named as a beneficiary in some of Stefano’s previous wills. I mean, Phoenix rose from the dead several times, like 13 or 14 times. It was crazy.

Days of Our Lives: Baby Boomer Coming?

So, I think there will be secrets that have never been revealed. And another possibility based on recent conversations with Abe and Theo about Stefano fixing Marlena and not having a child is that we find out something he doesn’t know. Did Stefano get Marlena pregnant and have his child but he doesn’t remember?

Do we get an older child’s bombshell as part of the legacy? And if so, we wonder if they’ll do a retcon. And we will find out that Chad DiMera (Connor Floyd) is the biological son of Marlena and Stefano.

Days of Our Lives The writers are very good at using shadow and little Easter eggs and hints. And while Theo and Abe are talking about Marlena and Celeste and Stefano having a baby with Celeste. But not about Marlena, the next scene we got to was Chad talking to Marlena. So that would be an Easter egg.

How can this happen in days

When Chad first came to Salem, the Salem area, you may remember, I think he was 16 years old. He was a teenager, introduced as the son of a wealthy couple, Madeline Peterson Woods (Jessica Tuck) and Charles Woods (David Leisure). But it was revealed after Madeline’s death that she was Stefano’s former call girl and that he was Chad’s real father, not her husband.

So, given that Chad came onto the scene as a troubled teenager and wasn’t born on screen, the Days of Our Lives The writers have a good amount of leeway if they want to rewrite his origin story. And if Marlena really is Chad’s biological mother, the big question is why doesn’t Marlena know?

So, how is it possible that Stefano got her pregnant, Marlena gave birth to a son, and she doesn’t know anything about it? I have two words for you. Dr. Rolf. Now, we know that Stefano kidnapped Marlena many times, including during the Queen of the Night era.

Days of Our Lives: Did Stefano Impregnate Marlena Under Mind Control?

So, Stefano had Marlena under mind control, and he was manipulating her. Much is done at night when he dreams or thinks he is dreaming. So, Stefano could have had consensual sex or honestly it could have been non-consensual sex with Marlena when she was drugged, brainwashed, gaslit, and Stefano could have gotten her pregnant.

And because of the mental breakdown and the trauma and the blackout, Marlena didn’t know or forgot. You know, Rolf could have delivered the baby early, put Marlena into a coma and have the baby and Stefano gave the baby to Madeline to raise. So, it’s possible that Rolf changed the records or brainwashed Marlena into thinking she was never pregnant or stillborn, something like that.

Chad’s mother was either paid or forced to pretend that Stefano’s secret love child with Marlena was her child with her husband. Because the fact that Stefano was Chad’s father didn’t come out until he died. So, they can get back at Stefano saying that Madeline will never tell anyone the truth about Chad’s real parents.

The Medical Wizardry of Dr. Rolf in DOOL

Or elsewhere, Stefano could have had Rolf with Marlena’s eggs during the kidnapping. And like Rolf did with Kate Robert’s (Lauren Koslow) and Roman Brady’s (Josh Taylor) DNA to create twins Rex Brady (Kyle Lowder) and Cassie Brady (Alexis Thorpe), you know, Rolf could make Stefano and Marlena’s embryo and put it in Madeline, and she was actually Chad’s biological mother. But then he raised her as his own. Think about that.

Rolf stole Tate Black (Leo Howard) when she was a tiny fetus from Theresa Donovan’s womb and implanted her in Kristen DiMera’s (Stacy Haiduk). Dr.’s medical advice. Rolf also helped Kristen conceive Rachel before her due date. And I think it was the 2020s, so like six years ago, Rolf tried to implant Stefano’s embryo in Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans) when she was also past her reproductive expiration date.

Days of Our Lives: Marlena Gets a Big Shock

Therefore, I expect great and strange revelations in this reading of the will. And I have to say that this is a retcon I’ll probably be fine with. I think it might seem like a good thing. You know, Marlena’s crush on John Black (Drake Hogestyn).

He can use good news in his life. I mean, that can be good news, bad news. Like, oh, by the way, you know, Stefano had a baby and you didn’t know. But good news, good guy. It’s Chad, you know, and he’s an orphan, so he could use a loving mother in his life.

I mean, honestly, if they go this route, it might be one of the kindest things Stefano does for Marlena, revealing the truth in the end. Therefore, the inheritance she receives from Stefano’s will may not be a trinket or jewelry or cash. But the revelation of the secret son he didn’t know they had and loved already.
