On the heels of Days of our Lives’ renewal announcement, comes contract news about two of the show’s stars. Robert Scott Wilson has inked a new deal to remain onboard as Ben Weston, while Jackée Harry has been bumped from recurring to full-time status as Paulina Price.

Look for Michael Lowry to return as Dr. Snyder on Thursday, May 20 and Friday, May 21 in pivotal scenes with Emily O’Brien’s Gwen.

Also, Tina Huang pops back in as Melinda Trask on Thursday, May 20.

Meanwhile, on the exit front, Marci Miller departs Salem as Abigail Deveraux DiMera on Friday, May 21, when the character decides to leave town to clear her head from all the Gwen drama, after sharing an emotional goodbye with Chad (Billy Flynn). The move was dictated by Miller’s maternity leave from the soap.
