His character was shot and killed a few months back, but one of the favorite villains on Days of Our Lives could soon be headed back to Salem.

According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, there is a chance that the character of EJ DiMera could be brought back onto the canvas at the soap-though it may not happen anytime soon.

James Scott vacated the role of the chosen DiMera son back in 2014-resulting in a storyline that involved the character losing the protection that came with his name when he betrayed his father by helping his wife, Sami (Allison Sweeney) out of a financial scandal. As a result, he wound up shot and killed in the Salem Park.

Shortly after his character's death, Sweeney's character, and their on-screen kids, also left the show, under the premise that Sami moved to Hollywood for a tell-all movie about her life. However, before all of the DiMeras exited, EJ's corpse was injected with something by his sister, Kristen (Eileen Davidson)-meaning he could have been given something that could bring him back from the dead once more.

If the character of EJ does return to the soap at all however, it would be after a recast effort by producers on Days, as Scott has not only not expressed interest in returning to the soap world, but has already lined up another project for himself.

According to the CDL report, Scott will portray the character of Liam in the pilot for a new TBS comedy series called Wrecked.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
