We have a lot to say about Dominic Marino… and the man who portrays him, Kyle Pryor! Pryor made his daytime soap opera and Days of Our Lives debut on November 2, when the elusive Dominic finally arrived in Salem for a clandestine meeting with Rita Lesley in a suite at the Salem Inn. Dominic certainly knows how to make an entrance. So, what’s our soap grade for Kyle Pryor?
Let’s get into it!
Dominic Makes Quite the Entrance
Of course, he had something sneaky up his sleeve. He was getting ready to face the DiMera clan, but he didn’t just rush into it. Instead, he waited until Lexie Carver’s memorial service to make his grand entrance, where he would come face-to-face with his siblings and even his mother, Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall).
Sure, it’s definitely sketchy to crash an event meant for paying last respects to a late sister he never even met. Still, we can understand the thinking. If he wanted to meet as many members of the family as possible in one go, this was certainly a pivotal moment to do it.
And, as expected, the DiMeras had QUESTIONS!
“Hello, brother,” Dominic said when he finally came face-to-face with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) at the Brady Pub. He wasted no time laying out who he is, who he’s connected to, and exactly why he’s in town. Even with questions firing at him from every angle, Dominic stood his ground. He made it clear he’s a DiMera through and through—and even offered to take a DNA test to prove it.
We like that confidence!
Look, we always love having a new hunk on our soaps, so he easily gets a win in that department. And that smooth British accent? Absolute icing on the cake!
But beyond the good looks and the charm, Dominic is clearly more than meets the eye. He’s got a calculated streak running right underneath it all… just like the rest of the family. Before the ceremony even kicked off, Dominic whipped out a game-changing document: a codicil to Stefano’s will.
Kyle Pryor Gets an A+ in Our Days of Our Lives Soap Grade!
Judging by the looks on everyone’s faces, suspicion hit an all-time high. Dominic explained that he hadn’t been awarded a pile of money. Instead, he had received controlling shares in DiMera Enterprises along with some properties.
Oh, and he also announced that he would be moving into the DiMera mansion.
Talk about making yourself at home!
But there’s another detail we simply cannot ignore.
Dominic arrived wearing Stefano DiMera’s iconic ring.
That’s right. The very ring EJ believed should belong to him!
Hmm. Coincidence? We think not.
Between the inheritance, the controlling shares, and that ring, Dominic has already given the DiMeras plenty to think about.
And we have a feeling the drama is only getting started.
So far, we are absolutely loving Kyle Pryor in this role. Is it too soon to call it? Maybe! But our first impressions have been so good that we’re giving Pryor a solid A+ in our Soap Grade. He is wearing this character like a glove.
