Here are the latest comings and goings casting news from all five daytime dramas: The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and Beyond the Gates.

The Week of November 10, 2025
Find out if any of your favorite actors and actresses from yesteryear are returning to the shows you watch, if any newcomers have been cast in contract, recurring, or day-player roles, or if any popular performers are about to make their exit.

Days of our Lives Casting
A dozen fan favorites are set to appear on DAYS’ special anniversary episodes this week. Alison Sweeney returns as Sami Brady on Tuesday, November 11. The actress appears in multiple episodes, sharing scenes with Dan Feuerriegel’s EJ, Martha Madison’s Belle, Deidre Hall’s Marlena, and others. (Sweeney reflected on her last DAYS visit, to pay tribute to the late Drake Hogestyn and his character John Black, in August.)

Sweeney is joined by her character’s twin brother. Greg Vaughan resurfaces as Eric Brady and is slated to air in three episodes.

Roark Critchlow is back as Mike Horton, and Maree Cheatham pops in as Marie Horton, too. The pair makes their first appearance on Monday, November 10.

Stephen Schnetzer returns as Steven Olson. Julie’s (Susan Seaforth Hayes) brother, who was last on the canvas in November 2024, is back for one episode. (The actor opened up about returning to the show after his brief run in the 1970s.)

In addition, Lamon Archey and Sal Stowers, who play supercouple Eli and Lani Grant, pay a very welcome visit to their family. And Chandler Massey returns home as Will Horton, while Bryan Dattilo reprises his role as Will’s father, Lucas Horton.

On the couple front, a pair of newlyweds is back on the scene. Namely, Christopher Sean as Paul Narita and Colton Little as Andrew Donovan.

Melissa Reeves continues her story arc as Jennifer Deveraux. She’ll be joined by Matthew Ashford, who plays her longtime husband, Jack Deveraux.

A pair of kid actors is back this week. Christopher Cary airs as Thomas DiMera on Monday, November 10. He interacts with his TV dad, Billy Flynn’s Chad.

Alice Halsey gets more screen time as Rachel Black. She shares scenes with her onscreen father, Eric Martsolf’s Brady, and others on Thursday, November 13.

General Hospital Casting
Erika Slezak, who joined GH as the late Monica’s (Leslie Charleson) sister, Veronica “Ronnie” Bard, in September, wrapped up her short-term story arc. Her character left town last week. The door, however, has been left ajar for her return at a later date. The actress admitted that she “would be open to coming back” to GH in the future. (Here’s what Slezak had to say about her experience working on the soap.)
