Vernee Watson continues her latest story arc as Stella Henry. She’ll confront Marshall (Robert Gossett) on Monday, January 31.

Max Decker has taken on the role of Victor’s (Charles Shaughnessy) bodyguard, Johan. The actor likely looks familiar to daytime fans. He previously played Carlos Reyes on All My Children (2002-2004) and had short-term gigs on Days of our Lives as Max and Zig.

Holly Gagnier wrapped up her gig as Jennifer Smith, after attending Luke’s funeral. Gagnier first appeared as the character in 2015.
