Days of our Lives Comings & Goings: Marlena’s Surprise Son Dominic Marino Cast

Comments

Dominic Marino will soon be introduced on Days of our Lives, and the role of Marlena Evans’ (Deidre Hall) and Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) supposed son will be played by British actor Kyle Pryor. Dominic will make his first appearance on the soap in the Monday, November 2, episode.

While DAYS will mark Pryor’s daytime debut, the actor has experience with soaps from his roles of Nate Cooper on the Australian sudser Home and Away and Laurie Shelby on British soap Hollyoaks.

The actor’s resume also includes an episode of Spartacus and starring opposite Maria Menounos in the holiday movie Christmas at Plumhill Manor.

There has been a months-long buildup to the Salem arrival of Dominic Marino. The businessman attempted to purchase the Kiriakis mansion and was revealed to be secretly working with Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti) — and it also appears that Dominic is the secret child of Stefano DiMera and Marlena Evans. That particular detail has yet to be proven conclusively, but the mystery around his parentage is sure to fuel major storyline once the character makes his on-screen debut.

Viewers got their first look at Dominic when a photo of him was seen briefly in the October 20 episode of DAYS when Dante met Marlena and Roman Brady (Josh Taylor) at the Brady Pub to ask Sami’s (Alison Sweeney) parents for her hand in marriage.

Marlena and Roman agreed, hoping that in turn, he could provide them with some information about Dominic. Dante insisted he knew very little about the guy, but showed them the photo that he had of the man on his phone. Marlena said he didn’t seem familiar, but Dante noted that she and Dominic had physical similarities.

If Dominic does prove to be Marlena’s son with Stefano, that would give him quite the pedigree in Salem as a member of both the Brady and DiMera clans, and he would be blood-related to a wide swath of characters that are currently on the canvas, including Stefano’s sons EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and Chad (Conner Floyd), Marlena’s daughter Belle (Martha Madison) — and he would be related on both sides of his family to Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Sydney (Sydney Malakeh), who are EJ’s kids and Marlena’s grandkids.
