Who Was Chad DiMera’s First Child On Days Of Our Lives?

“Days of Our Lives” viewers were first introduced to Chad DiMera in 2009. At the time, the character was played by actor Casey Deidrick. Chad came to Salem looking for his ex-girlfriend Mia McCormick (Taylor Spreitler) in hopes of rekindling their romance. However, he found that Mia was already dating Will Horton (then Dylan Michael Patton), per Soaps.com. At the time, Chad had no idea that Mia was carrying a huge secret, per Soaps in Depth.

When Mia first came to Salem as a pregnant teenager, she enlisted the help of Dr. Richard Baker, a doctor known for brokering babies. Mia didn’t tell Chad that she was pregnant with his child and wanted to find a nice family to adopt her unborn child, and Dr. Baker knew that Nicole Walker was looking to adopt a child after faking a pregnancy to keep her husband EJ DiMera (then James Scott) from leaving her, via Soap Central.

When Mia went into labor, she called Nicole to come take the baby girl. However, Nicole had other plans. During the same time that Mia was pregnant, Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) was also secretly pregnant with EJ’s child. She went into labor at the same time as Mia and Nicole forced Dr. Baker to switch the babies so that she could raise EJ’s biological daughter.
