Days of Our Lives Comings and Goings: A Major Return, A Baddie’s Exit!

Who’s coming and who’s going from Days of Our Lives (DOOL)?

Are any favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the near future? Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring or day player roles?

Are any well-remembered stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join Days of Our Lives fold in surprise new parts?

Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.

The week of June 11, 2018

Arianne Zucker is back on set filming scenes as the irrepressible Nicole Walker. She originally played the character from 1998 to 2006, before returning full-time in 2008.

Zucker departed again in October 2017. At the time, she was unwilling to sign a new contract with the soap and wanted to take a break. Look for her first scenes as Nicole to begin airing this fall.

Time to say bye-bye to Xander, again. Well, at least for now. Actor Paul Telfer is leaving the soap, this week, just as his character stumbles upon an explosive secret involving Brady (Eric Martsolf) and the aforementioned Nicole. Xander, however, is expected to be back.

Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local list-ings for air times.
