The late Daniel’s spirit makes another divine appearance. Look for Shawn Christian to air again on Wednesday, June 28. The actor made his last visit to Salem on May 24.

Vincent Irizarry wraps up his stint as Victor’s (John Aniston) evil little brother, Deimos, on Thursday, June 29, when his character turns up murdered.

The daytime veteran, who joined Days in January 2016, admits he saw the writing on the wall when Deimos began taking “a really dark turn” and started becoming “a one-dimensional, dark villain.”
