BTS tea, thanks to a source telling Jason47:  What will air at some point between now and 10 months from now:
Theo will have an office.

Along with other Days sets, Theo's office seems to be packed up.

Nice to have confirmation on who's playing him. Thanks for posting!

Happy to have Theo back. Let's hope he can act!

Interesting. Had no clue he was coming back but I’m happy about it.

He kinda looks like a blend of Kyler Pettis and Cameron Johnson, with a touch of Corbin Bleu thrown in. 

I no longer watch DAYS, but give me interesting Black men on daytime, please. Where are Brandon and Jonah?

Interesting. Does anyone remember his occupation? Could he be a professor at Salem U?

EXCLUSIVE: Meet the new Theo Carver! Tyler Joseph Andrews makes his #DAYS debut this week. https://t.co/6rtEaiOVoa

According to Stephanie Sloane's tvinsider interview with Tyler Joseph Andrews,
he says that he originally auditioned for the role of Tate.

Did she correctly quote the actor?  Maybe it's an error? 
Aside from the *obvious* ...
the timing seems off, since he says he auditioned for that role a few months before he was cast as Theo.

I mean, if he auditioned for Tate, then it was about a year ago, so were they thinking of replacing Leo Howard as Tate?

On the other hand, maybe he auditioned as *Theo* with with Ashley P (Holly) but the audition might have used old "sides" for Tate?

Quote:
For Andrews, it marks his first soap role, but not his first audition at the Peacock show. “I had actually auditioned for Tate (Black, Leo Howard), and I), and I screen-tested with Ashley Puzemis (Holly Jonas),” he begins. “I ended up not getting it, and I really wanted the job.

A couple months later, I auditioned again, but they didn’t really tell me who I was auditioning for. I tested with Marissa (Reyes, Arianna Horton), and then about a week later, they let me know that I got the job. I was really happy because the first time that I had auditioned, I told my agent, ‘Look out for the email, ’cause I think I might get this one.’ And then when it didn’t happen, I was disappointed, so I was really grateful that they ended up calling me back in the audition once more.”
