Peacock’s Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem will bring back Eileen Davidson, who is the most recent Days of Our Lives alum to join the limited series. She will join Lisa Rinna, Deidre Hall, Drake Hogestyn, Jackée Harry, James Reynolds and others.
The limited series is set over a long end of the week, when John and Marlena travel to Zurich; Ben and Ciara have a romantic getaway in New Orleans; Chad visits some old companions in Phoenix; and Abe, Paulina, Lani, and Eli excursion in Miami. All end up entangled in a secret including taken gems that, in some unacceptable hands, could have dire consequences for Salem. It’s a test of skill and endurance for ISA specialist Billie Reed (Rinna) as she crosses the globe looking for this missing treasure.
Alums Thaoo Penghlis, Leann Hunley, Christie Clark and Austin Peck additionally have joined the Beyond Salem projected, alongside Greg Rikaart, Chandler Massey and Zachary Atticus Tinker.
It is unclear what character Daytime Emmy winner Davidson will play on Beyond Salem. On Days, she most as of late depicted Kristen DiMera, in 2017. Rinna, who returns as Reed, prodded Davidson’s return to the Days universe on her Instagram account Monday (see it beneath).
