that said "I’m working with Stefano".  How obvious can these writers be!

I think you could be right, because Nicole obviously does still love E.J., and her fear has always been that E.J. would take the baby away from her and the child would be raised a DiMera.  When she learns the truth, that not only is E.J. NOT Stefano’s son, hence NOT a DiMera, this might be the only reason Nicole will take him back.  But remember her real reason for rejecting E.J. is, and probably always will be, Sami.  So, on the other hand, as long as E.J. doesn’t insert himself back into Sami’s love life and their connection stays only where their children’s lives are concerned, then perhaps Nicole would take him back, but so long as Nicole believes he cannot stay away from Sami, or that he keeps himself in Sami’s life by using their children as excuses to stay connected to Sami for his own purpose, then I hope Nicole can move on with her life and keep E.J. out of hers.  With Sara Brown (Madison James) being one of the first cuts to be leaving, maybe they will put her and Brady back together.  Or, she may still wind up with Rafe, since Carrie will also be getting the axe.
