Most Popular Supercouple in 'DAYS' History Returns!

As promised, the big announcement for Tuesday is HERE! As first hinted in the summer previews seven weeks ago on May 9th, two HUGE characters of DAYS past are returning this summer! Their idenitities are now revealed.

Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans will be reprising the roles of Steve and Kayla this summer. "This is big news. I've really enjoyed their time on DAYS thus far and am looking forward to writing for them! Kayla was just back in May for Shawn and Caroline's wedding, and we hinted around a lot that her return will be permanent. Kayla will be back for the funeral of the the Fourth of July victim and will stay put in Salem. Steve will first air later in July sometime.

"All I can say right now is that the weeks of August 21st and August 28th will be changing weeks in the history of DAYS, and they will grant two decades of wishes for DAYS' fans. We still have four more characters/familiar faces coming back this summer. I can't say anything right now because it will give it away, BUT fans will be OVERWHELMED with joy."

As to how Patch will be written back in, the writer says this..."It involves an island....of DAYS' past. And NO, it's NOT Melaswen!" "It's going to be romantic and magical!"

"Five more big returns await the show this summer. Two will show up on Episode #150. The last five minutes of Friday July 7th's episode should leave readers' mouths open all weekend."

"As for the show right now, all I can say is the next week and a half is the calm before the storm.....July and August are going to be an absolute sh*tshow!"
