Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley land in Salem as Tony and Anna DiMera on Monday, November 9, after a delayed flight kept them from Lexieโs memorial, and this DAYS Comings and Goings roundup also has Sofia Mattsson stepping into the role of Chloe Lane in early 2027, Kyle Pryorโs Dominic Marino lurking outside the Pub, and Greg Rikaartโs Leo locked in a shipping container.

Days of Our Lives Comings & Goings
Salem has never met an entrance it could not complicate, and this round of DAYS Comings and Goings has a masked stranger, a memorial full of surprises, and a glamorous couple headed for town. Between a locked box of cash, a shipping container, and a hotel room dressed for the Day of the Dead, nobody in Salem is easing into November.

Dominic Peeks In at the Pub
Kyle Pryor as Dominic Marino showed up masked on Monday, November 2, and locked eyes with Martha Madison as Belle Black at her front door, while Maggie Carney as Rita welcomed him to the Salem Inn the same day. By Friday, November 6, Dominic was outside the Pub, peeking in at Dan Feuerriegel as EJ DiMera and Deidre Hall as Marlena Evans, who had no idea they had an audience.
Sophia Spooks Kristen Half to Death
Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi stepped on camera Wednesday, November 4, scaring Stacy Haidukโs Kristen DiMera half to death by walking into her hotel room dressed for the Day of the Dead. Friday was a Stacy Haiduk double feature, with Kristen slipping into Lexie Carverโs memorial disguised as Susan Banks.
On Thursday,ย Greg Rikaartย asย Leo Starkย got locked in a shipping container after cracking open a locked box of cash, and the winter promo showsย Al Calderonย asย Javi Hernandezย fighting to revive him.
Tony and Anna Land Late
Thaao Penghlis as Tony DiMera and Leann Hunley as Anna DiMera finally land in Salem on Monday, November 9, after a delayed flight kept them from the memorial. By Thursday, November 12, EJ is confiding in Tony, which suggests the DiMera family has plenty to discuss and a houseguest with a talent for listening.
Tuesday, November 10 brings a crowd, with Lorelei Olivia Mote as Rachel Black opening up to Eric Martsolfโs Brady Black, Shi Ne Nielson as Amy Choi leaving Ashley Puzemisโs Holly Jonas questioning her true intentions, and Suzanne Rogers as Maggie Kiriakis offering Linsey Godfreyโs Sarah Horton some heartfelt advice. On Thursday, Franco LoPresti as Dante Vitali squares off with Dominic in a heated confrontation.
The winter promo brought casting news too. Sofia Mattsson, best known as Sasha Gilmore on General Hospital, steps into Chloe Lane, a role Nadia Bjorlin has said she could not return to because the logistics did not work. In the promo, Brady, fresh off a breakup, greets Chloe with โHi, Chloeโ and the two kiss, and her first air date is pegged for early 2027. George DelHoyo is back as Orpheus too, with Marlena paying him a visit in the promo and no air date yet.
Taking the Mic
Beyond the canvas,ย Alison Sweeney, best known asย Sami Brady, traded Salem cliffhangers for a microphone with her new podcast,ย Between Takes with Ali Sweeney, announced on Instagram on November 4.ย Victor Webster, who passed through Salem asย Nicholas Alamainย in 1999 and 2000 before becoming a Hallmark regular, is the first guest.
