I think the creepy factor is in the way he speaks in a very understated way. That was highly affective IMO.

I love IB and the creep factor but I pray they don't make him off the rails creepy like they did with Trent Robbins. Maybe I'm getting that more because of Sarah Brown's reaction than from Ian's portrayal. I enjoy a certain level of creepy and lord knows this show needs a villain.

I think he is exactly the character this show needs. A real villain with an edge and a creepy factor all rolled into one.
The show does need a villain right now Stefano is not really too much acting the part anymore so Ian could bring so much to the show right now and I would LOVE to see Stefano's reaction to having a new villain in town that could steal the show from him. He could cause trouble for Stefano in his marriage since he has a past with Kate that he said in recent interviews that he wants to rekindle and on so many more levels too.

WOW.

Bye-bye, DiMeras!

This clip confirms a number of things:

1. EJ is NOT a DiMera
2. Ian is definitely EJ's father
3. Kristen will NEVER return to the show
4. The DiMeras are slowly being phased out of the show.

It's a scary time of transition, but it's very exciting, too! I bet this character alone could turn this show around!
Ian is incredible!

Buchanan plays creepy so well. I can't believe he was ever considered a romantic lead on GH and B&B. He plays creepy villain much better.

Seems like a bit of a stretch, but I think the only way I would accept EJ not being Stefano's son is if Ian is his father. If its John I won't enjoy it. I'm a biased DiMera fan, but I really doubt they're going to be phased out anytime soon. EJ isn't going to change his name. He will still be EJ DiMera and I'm sure he will still consider himself one after his initial shock. I do think JM is retiring soon so they needed a new super villain and they have found a great one from the looks of things.

If Eileen Davidson is ever available again and DAYS can afford her she will be there, as long as MarDar are still running the show. She is a perfect character for them and I would bet anything she is #1 on their list of gets.

DiMerafan, with all due respect, all signs point to the DiMeras being phased out. It starts with EJ's paternity being revealed. Next, JM will retire, which means no Stefano. We never hear about Peter thanks to the '90s indiscretion behind the scenes and there are no signs or hints of a Tony return. Kristen's out because ED will never leave Y&R, Godloveher. My prediction is that the DiMera mansion will be redressed to become the McAllister manor. Otherwise, Ian will take over through coersion and Stefano will die a miserable death. Ian will the match for Stefano's Pheonix, which will not rise again. It's an exciting, but albeit scary, time of transition for the show.

Do you EJ is just going to become EJ McAllister and be happy with it? I don't think so. I pretty much agree with all you've said, but I don't think they're totally phasing them out. Just think they're going to be far less prominent and I'm fine with that. Once Stefano is gone they are really like a snake with its head cut off. I seriously doubt its going to be another villain that takes Stefano out too. Either he's just going to die on his own terms or the Bradys/John will take him out. It would be silly after all of these years of running the show and basically creating the Brady family and John Black that Stefano is taken out by anyone else. Unless he dies trying to redeem himself and Ian kills him. That's the only scenario I could see where he's taken out by a villain.

I watched this earlier but couldn't comment.

IB is just great and he is truly in his element here. What a fantastic introduction! This is just the character the show needs. This definitely adds alot to Madison's story too.

Great scene, Ian will make a good villain. I just wish they played some darker music.

Stefano did not give him the name EJ. John and Kristen named him John Junior and Susan named him Elvis. For some reason the writers thought his name was Elivs Junior.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

I agree this is the character the show needs. Someone in their 50s to do what Stefano use to do. I do believe that the Dimeras are being phased out, who is left? Stefano is not himself anymore, Chad doesn't want to be a Dimera, Lexie is riding on her moral high horse these Days and Ej is a sucker for love and a bad fucking villain. I think the fact that Ian seems to know Victor could be interesting.....

Maybe this is Quinn's father that they mentioned a few times as a bad person. That would actually give Quinn a purpose.
That would actually be really cool. In any case, I'm STOKED about this clip. That minute was better than anything Madison has done since she came to town and it was all Ian's doing lol They mentioned that he will be shaking things up for Sonny too? Is Sonny going to be Titan's new CEO? It would sure as Hell make more sense than Daniel since Philip is (sadly) gone!

I do NOT want Vivian recast ever. I don't think they would ever try to pull that off anyway. I do think that Louise Sorel and Ian Buchanan would light up the screen. Vivian/Ian/Kate triangle would be great. Finally fighting over a viable man. I think Quinn is useless, but he did show hints of being an okay actor when he was around Louise. Since she's been gone and he has come back he's been terrible. I don't think she will ever come back, but it could be good.
I really doubt Louise Sorel would come back. And I would NEVER want a recast, I LOOOOVE Vivian and was so sad about her last run. But even to give Vivian some honorable off screen mentions or show Quinn calling her or something would be cool.
