Who’s coming and who’s going from Days of Our Lives? Are any favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the near future?

The week of May 27, 2019
Here comes major trouble. Stacy Haiduk is set to resurface as the diabolical Kristen DiMera. Haiduk took over the role of Kristen, as well as the wacky Susan Banks, last summer. The characters were originally portrayed by Eileen Davidson, who now recurs as Ashley Abbott on The Young and the Restless.

What do you think? Post a comment!

Haiduk made her last appearance on Days in November of 2018. Word is she is back for an extended story arc.

Also back on the Salem scene is Kevin Riggin as JJ’s (Casey Moss) old pal Rory. This week, he shares scenes with Lamon Archey’s Eli, who questions Rory about helping the on-the-run JJ and Haley (Thia Megia). Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
