DAYS SHOCKER!!! Stefano Is ALIVE!

Days of Our Lives fans will never believe their eyes when they learn Stefano is alive after all.

The late Joseph Mascolo will be on next week and make his last DAYS appearance on February 9. It will be the glorious ending we never expected to see of a three-decade run that made the actor and character television legends.

It was a fitting ending for a character who had tormented this woman for decades, even holding her captive and planting the memories of another woman (Princess Gina) in her head.

Now, we will learn what we saw was all illusion, but we suppose that was always The Phoenix’s master trick.
