Over at Days of our Lives, a pair of bad guys are heading back to the fold. Actors Greg Rikaart and James Read, who play Leo Stark and Clyde Weston respectively, both appeared in the cast anniversary photo that DAYS tweeted out on November 9. Rikaart was last seen as the smarmy Leo in the Peacock spinoff, Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem.

It sounds like those guests might be Michael Graziadei and Hunter King, reprising their roles as Daniel Romalotti and Summer Newman Abbott, respectively.
