John is Daphne's son. EJ is Stefano's son. Stefano and Daphne were married. Their children who are not related by blood would be step-siblings. Therefore, EJ and John are step-brothers. IrishLass (talk) 14:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Why we don't add him. We don't add relations to the infobox that look like this Tony DiMera (step-nephew, via Stefano/adoptive cousin, via Daphne). We add simple relations to the box, others go within the body of the article. "Step"/"half"/overly related adoptives do not go in the box. KellyAna (talk) 16:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
This article was unfortunately created in 2006 from material lifted directly from http://www.soapcentral.com/days/whoswho/john.php. I've noted what appears to be the only original material (2007-2009) in the edit summary, but I think the article would be best served by being rewritten from scratch, and with not as much minute detail.— TAnthonyTalk 02:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Anybody have any sources to show that Hope and John are now married? Arjoccolenty (talk) 03:40, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Plot definitely needs updating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.181.192.29 (talk) 20:25, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
Recently, the writers of Days of our Lives have expected viewers to accept an ill-conceived retcon that John and Hope are married. During this time, it has also come to my attention that third party sources are not required for storyline sections of fictional articles, as the show itself acts as a source. So, with that being said I am using the show as a source to assert that they are NOT married, as the July 12, 1999 episode of Days (which can be found on youtube) clearly shows Hope (as Gina) telling John on the submarine (AFTER his marriage to Marlena) that he should make an honest woman of her and marry her. Therefore, it is impossible that John and Hope are married based on this. If you are going to use the show to source that they are married, I'm going to use it show that they are NOT. Now I understand that we are expected to believe they're married, but it makes absolutely no sense, and the writers have not paid attention to detail regarding the story. The only way that John and Hope could be married is if she turned him back into the pawn before he married Marlena, and then lied to him later on about, which of course, is SPECULATION, and has NO place in an encyclopedia. If the community decides to list this illconceived marriage, then I will not object, but I have done the right thing challenging the addition of unsourced controversial material by placing this here.

I vote no as well. Thank you. Rm994 (talk) 19:49, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
It's my understanding that the show itself may serve as source material, so why have the edits acknowledging the revelation that John is not Colleen and Santo's son been reverted? Hope stated it very plainly in the January 6, 2014 episode. He is neither a Brady nor a DiMera by blood. His only known relatives are the Alamains, via adoption. — Spanish lullaby (talk) 00:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
The show itself can serve as source material. This has been discussed recently on the Y&R page (and confirmed by a site admin): shows ARE valid sources. You can re-do the edits regarding John's parentage. Cebr1979 (talk) 21:12, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
