KAYLA BRADY JOHNSON RETURNS TO DAYS!!! IS STEVE JOHNSON NEXT?!!!

Days' Kayla rolls back into Salem

July 24 was a huge day for Days fans as Mary Beth Evans' Kayla Brady Johnson returned to Days and was revealed as Shane Donovan's (Charles Shaughnessy) stalker. "All the fans thought it was Kimberly (Patasy Pease)," says executive producer Ned Yadroc. "We wanted them to think that since it was logical. We want Kim back at some point but we are trying to work something out with Patsy and her health issues. Kayla was always intended to be brought back in this way. She is with us for good and we have big story planned for her." The big question now is-is Steve (Stephen Nichols) next? Rumors are swirling that he is the popular actor returning in the weeks ahead. "The fans will just have to wait and see. There is good stuff planned," promises Yadroc.

In other news, Charles Shaughnessy will remain on Days on a recurring basis. "Shane will go back to London but we plan to use him frequently so we put him on recurring. He was ok with it," says Yadroc.

Days has yet to announce that popular actor who has been dropped to recurring. An announcement is expected soon.
