On Tuesday, April 2 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, the NBC game show “Weakest Link” is set to return with a batch of all-new episodes starting with a special episode featuring cast members from “Days of our Lives.”

Hosted by Jane Lynch (“Glee”), the game follows eight contestants as they work together to bank the maximum amount of prize money available in each round with contestants taking turns answering questions to build chains of correct answers with consecutive correct answers increasing the value of the chain while incorrect answers break the chain and force the contestants to start over from the bottom of the money ladder.

Taking part in the “Days of our Lives” centric episode will be cast members Lindsay Arnold, Bryan Dattilo, Galen Gering, Tina Huang, Victoria Konefal, Martha Madison, Eric Martsolf and Zach Tinker with each competing to earn money for charity.

Despite four of the eight actors listed having exited the soap in recent months, their appearance on “Weakest Link” bears no indication of their possibly returning to the daytime drama series, Soap Opera Network can confirm.

As with many game shows, episodes are taped well in advance. In the case of “Weakest Link,” this particular episode was taped in 2022, ahead of the departures of Arnold, Tinker, Konefal and Madison, who played Allie, Sonny, Ciara and Belle, respectively, on the soap.

In a preview clip for the game show’s return, Lynch introduces the show’s cast starting with a gag that plays up outdated soap troupe’s, including “I’ve gathered together eight ‘Days of our Lives’ stars to earn money for charity, ‘but is that really why I did it?’” She adds, “They’ll face challenging questions ‘like who’s the father of my unborn twin sister’s cousin’s aunt’s dog sitter,’ and a chance to win one million dollars — ‘now I’d like to see these drama queens try. Haha. Thank goodness they can’t hear what I’m thinking, right? [audience laughter] They can’t hear me, can they?’”

After each actor introduces themselves, Lynch joked, “Well that was so boring, it took days off our lives,” playing up the show’s title.

Watch a preview clip of “Weakest Link” featuring the cast of “Days of our Lives” below.

    Actually Zack Tinker is returning to Days possibly for his brother's wedding. He posted a picture of himself all dressed up in front of what looked like the Days studio on his Twitter page recently.

    What I detailed in the article stands, as one shouldn't take any individual taking part in the "special" as an indication of their return to "Days of our Lives" as the "Weakest Link" episode was taped in 2022, long before four of the eight actors exited the daytime drama series. The possibility of Zach Tinker returning is just a coincidence.
