Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that the NBC soap has left the door open for a big return. DOOL confirmed that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) and Jake Lambert (Brandon Barash) were twins, but that only tells us there were two of them. It doesn’t tell us which twin Jake really is!
Jake was assumed to be Stefan’s twin brother since he had different memories and all the adoption info lined up. However, Days of Our Lives spoilers say there’s another option to consider here. It’s quite possible that Jake is actually Stefan with his memories manipulated.
General Hospital did a similar memory-mapping twin story where one twin completely believed he’d lived his brother’s life. What if Jake simply believes those are his own memories? If Stefan’s memories were wiped and replaced with his twin brother’s memories instead, it’d explain everything.
Even John Black (Drake Hogestyn) pointed to memory manipulation as a possibility when questions were swirling about Jake’s identity. Once Gabi Hernandez DiMera (Camila Banus) departed, there was no need to explore the issue any further.
Stefan’s return is only useful if Gabi’s around to reunite “Stabi,” but she’s indeed headed back to the show – and that breathes new life into this memory manipulation theory.
We should also point out that Jake received some memory serum doses, which acts on a delay for some characters. It’s possible Jake could start to remember pieces of his life as Stefan eventually.
Regardless, some Days fans aren’t feeling Jake as much as they were before. Jake’s moved from Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) to Gabi to Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) and maybe to Abigail DiMera (Marci Miller) soon. It feels like Jake will hit on anything that moves, so he’s become rather sleazy.
Jake is also becoming more DiMera-like since he lives at the mansion, spends DiMera money and wants to take on a major role at DiMera Enterprises. Since Jake is turning into a lesser version of Stefan, why not just restore the real deal? There might be a clue that points to this story direction in DOOL’s 55th anniversary cast photo.
In that photo, several of the men were dressed pretty casual – including Lamon Archey (Eli Grant), Drake Hogestyn (John Black), James Reynolds (Abe Carver), Brandon Beemer (Shawn Brady) and more.
So why was Brandon Barash wearing a dress shirt and slacks instead of sporting a less posh look like some of the others? Could it be a sign that Jake will be revealed as Stefan?
If that’s the plan, it’d make sense for Barash to wear a more stylish Stefan type of look for the cast photo. Even Barash’s body language in the pic is more like Stefan. Barash has his leg crossed looking all debonaire, so this could be a hint about sophisticated Stefan’s return!
Would you like it if Jake turned out to be Stefan? Should Days finally reunite “Stabi” after revealing Jake’s memory manipulation? We’ll bring you updates as other DOOL news emerges.
