Days of our Lives Favorites are Back In 2025

It’ll feel like old home week on Days of our Lives next June when a host of old Salem faves make their way back to your TV screens.

Big Stars Return

While Peter Reckell and Kristian Alfonso will be back in May to hopefully give Bo and Hope a little bit of happiness, they will be joined in June by a number of former fellow co-stars.

Expect to see Victoria Konefal (Ciara Brady Weston), Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer Deveraux), Chandler Massey (Will Horton), Christie Clark (Carrie Brady Reed), Leanna Hunley (Anna DiMera), Thaao Penghlis (Tony DiMera), and Charles Shaughnessy (Shane Donovan).

“It’s literally like when you don’t see your family and then you have a family reunion,” Reeves told TV Insider. “I’m like, ‘I have to focus on the storyline but at the same time, I want to visit with everyone and find out what’s going on in their lives.’ You could text people that but there’s nothing like seeing people in person.”

Other Big Comebacks

In December, you will see another wave of comebacks for memorial episodes of Doug Williams and the actor who played him, Bill Hayes. Alfonso, Ashford, Reeves, and Konefal will be back, along with Martha Madison (Belle Black Brady), Lamon Archey (Eli Grant), Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant), Brandon Beemer (Shawn Douglas Brady), Maree Cheatham (Marie Horton), Gloria Loring (Liz Chandler), and Stephen Schnetzer (Steve Olson).

There’s no word on why there is a new roster of returns for next June, but rumor has it that it might be for memorial episodes of Drake Hogestyn (John Black), who died after a battle with pancreatic cancer on September 28.

Don’t forget to watch new episodes of Days of our Lives on Peacock starting at 6 AM ET each weekday.
