DAYS Comings And Goings: Peter Porte Speaks Out On Exit

Though his alter-ego may have departed Salem, hope springs eternal that Peter Porte might make a triumphant return to Days of our Lives in the not-too-distant future. And the actor wouldn’t have it any other way.

Dimitri’s transfer to an out-of-state (wherever that state may be) maximum security prison earlier this month marked the second time that Porte said goodbye to the DAYS universe — after wrapping his original run as the character on spinoff program Beyond Salem 2.

Coupled with the déjà vu was a sense of surprise at how his storyline concluded. During a conversation with Soap Opera Digest, the actor insisted that he didn’t see any of it coming. “It was pretty powerful. I loved it. It’s always sad when your storyline comes to an end, but I think that it was a very smart way of wrapping things up. Ultimately, so much of what we saw between Dimitri and Leo [Greg Rikaart] was these comedic antics, yet they were very much in love…to ground it in that way, that Dimitri had to finally make an ultimate sacrifice of himself in this display of love…was a very passionate and beautiful way to wrap things.”

But that’s not to say that returning to the Peacock-based serial is off the table. “What I’ve been led to believe is there may be a future for Dimitri on the show somewhere down the line, but in what capacity, I don’t know,” revealed Porte.

However, the reprisal might pan out, and The Young and the Restless vet (ex-Ricky Williams) would most certainly be on board. “I had a great time. I mean, not only did I get to play with and hang out with my friends, that I would choose to do for free, but I was getting paid for it. And the commute is 10 minutes from my house. That’s a win-win…It really was a great experience,” concluded Porte.
