Daytime Comings and Goings Week of August 24: A Villainess Resurfaces, a Patriarch Comes Home, and Salem Says a Painful Goodbye

DAYTIME COMINGS AND GOINGS BRING BACK A VILLAINESS, A PATRIARCH, AND A HEARTBREAKING EXIT

TL;DR: This week’s Comings and Goings run the full emotional gamut. Bold and the Beautiful welcomes Dylan’s mother to town, Young and the Restless drags a notorious villainess back into the light, Days of Our Lives brings a patriarch home while saying a heartbreaking goodbye, General Hospital reunites two familiar faces, and Beyond the Gates stacks its comings sky-high.

Bold and the Beautiful Comings & Goings Welcome Dylan’s Mother to Town

Kelly Sullivan debuts as Darcy Dylan on Thursday, August 27, arriving in town as Dylan’s mother. Sullivan isn’t new to the genre; soap fans will remember her from a run as Kate Howard/Connie Falconeri on General Hospital before she landed a Y&R contract a few years later as Sage Warner.

Christopher “Sincere” Cato also returns as Alex on Monday, August 24.
