Are any well remembered stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join the Days of our Lives fold in surprising new parts? Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.

The week of May 10, 2021

That was Dan Wells playing “Dr. Dunn,” the Salem University Hospital physician that Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) insisted “the dying” Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) receive a second opinion from, and who confirmed his “brain tumor” and “terminal diagnosis.”

If the actor looks familiar, it’s because Wells previously appeared on the soap for a long arc back in 2005, when he subbed for the then-pregnant Alison Sweeney. He played Stan when Sami went undercover as a man to get revenge on her enemies. Once again, Wells was portraying a disguised Sami.

Please note that air dates may be subject to change.
