Eric had no choice but to give baby Jude back to Nicole and E.J.

Sloan confessed to Eric that baby Jude belonged to E.J. and Nicole, causing him to make a bold decision on the May 24 episode of Days of Our Lives. Meanwhile, E.J. bided his time hoping she would acquiesce to his ultimatum.

He’s Beyond Angry With Sloan

Things finally came to a head after Sloan (Jessica Serfaty) confessed to Eric (Greg Vaughan) that their adopted baby, Jude — now officially played by newcomer infant Oliver McLarty — was actually the not-dead child of EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and Nicole (Arianne Zuker). Greg Vaughan should be praised for his reaction as Eric, who struggled through several emotions, including shock, heartache, feeling betrayed, and extreme anger. Sloan tried pitifully to explain that when Dimitri brought her the baby, she thought keeping it would show Eric how much she loved him since she could no longer have a child of her own. Seriously? Sloan has some major issues here.

Through his tears and red-faced anger, Eric packed up the child and left to bring him to his rightful parents…but not before telling Sloan not to leave and that when he returned, she would pay for what she did. What the ex-priest will do to her is anyone’s guess, but people can only be pushed so far before snapping, even clergymen. The look of unadulterated rage on Eric’s face showed that he was beyond livid and had finally reached his breaking point with her.
