Three villains are returning to Days of Our Lives. George DelHoyo is back as Orpheus on Monday, February 15 in scenes with Jason Downs’ Rhodes, the man holding Ciara (Victoria Konefal) captive.

There’s a surprise return on the agenda at General Hospital. Chad Brannon, who portrayed Zander Smith from 2000 to 2004, was spotted on set taping scenes on February 12. He’s slated to begin airing in March.

There’s no word as to whom he’ll be portraying since Zander was killed off the soap, but speculation is he’s likely appearing as a ghost. The character is the biological father of Elizabeth’s (Rebecca Herbst) son, Cameron (William Lipton).

Lexi Ainsworth’s GH return as Kristina Corinthos-Davis has been pushed to Wednesday, February 17.

Tatum Shank has been playing Ralph Finchley, the state trooper who picked up Sonny/“Mike” (Maurice Benard).

Ptosha Storey reprises her role as Naya Benedict, Amanda’s (Mishael Morgan) long lost mother, on Wednesday, February 17. Krystal Mosley plays a desk clerk at The Grand Phoenix hotel on Friday, February 19.
