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 September 24, 2018
Thaao Penghlis is back at the Days studio taping scenes. The question is, ss who? His last Salem alter ego, Andre DiMera, was killed off in January. Meanwhile, lookalike Tony met his demise in 2009.

Penghlis made his last appearance on the show in August, when Andre came to Kate (Lauren Koslow) in a dream.

After a lengthy absence Julian Barnes returns as the DiMera butler, Harold, on Thursday, September 27. He’ll share scenes with Alison Sweeney and Tyler Christopher, when Sami arrives at the mansion to grill Stefan about EJ.

Deidre Hall is pulling double duty, once again. In addition to playing the comatose Marlena, Hall is also stirring things up as her bawdy lookalike Hattie.

Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
