From TV Guide:

Shane Donovan returns on June 3rd, we'll find him imprisoned in South America. He'll be sharing a cell with Salem hero Rafe Hernandez.

Shane will be accused of trying to kill the president of some military junta county says Charles Shaughnessy. He doesn't know why Shane's an assassin, they didn't give him details. He says there's a delirious, delicious insanity about the whole thing. Shane will escape he'll visit Salem briefly for Alice Horton's funeral.

Well that's...random.

That's weird, but nonetheless it's great to have him back.

I hope Shane and Kim decide to leave town together following Alice's funeral. I'll take what I can get!

I like how they are giving the people returning more than just a scene. So shane pops up in jail with rafe? And Kim has cancer. I wonder what else is gonna be going on with everyone else.
