Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Thaao Penghlis Back As Tony, Drops Big Casting News
Days of Our Lives comings and goings say two more DiMera men are making their way back to Salem. Thaao Penglis, who plays Tony DiMera, announced his return to filming while being interviewed on the podcast Mission: Impodible, which was taped in February and just released this week.
Days of Our Lives star Thaao Penghlis told the interviewer, “Well, I go back to Days on the eighth,” Penghlis said. “That’s going to be interesting because I know they’re bringing a recast of EJ, so I have a feeling that I’m going to be doing work with the brother of old.”
So, Thaao let the huge cat out of the bag. The fan-favorite role of EJ DiMera has, in fact, recast and already filming. Since the cast is now filming episodes that air this summer, we’ll likely meet the new EJ either before or just after the summer Olympics hiatus.
With Sami back in Salem, it seemed like only a matter of time before EJ, too, would return to #Days. Rumor has it, the character will soon resurface! https://t.co/6VEjCzybxR
