‘Days Of Our Lives’ To Bring Back Leann Hunley, Chandler Massey, Thaao Penghlis & More For 60th Anniversary

The 60th anniversary celebration hasn’t even started on Days of Our Lives but EP Ken Corday is already fine-tuning the guest list for 2025.

In addition to bringing back Alison Sweeney as Sami, Peter Reckell (Bo) and Kristian Alfonso (Hope) for the celebration, Leann Hunley (Anna) and Chandler Massey (Will) are also set to appear in future episodes, as well as Christie Clark (Carrie), Thaao Penghlis (Tony), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), Victoria Konefal (Ciara), Charles Shaughnessy (Shane) and Matthew Ashford (Jack).

Their episodes are expected to stream in June on Peacock.

“We always love it when members of our beloved family return to Salem,” said Corday to TV Insider, which first reported the casting news. “Fans are really going to enjoy what we have in store beginning this fall and well into next year.”

The soap, which is in its 60th season, shoots many months in advance which is why fans will have to wait until next summer to see their favorites.

In March of 2023, DOOL was picked up for two more seasons. The renewal took it through the 60th season.

DOOL is produced by Corday Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television. Corday is the executive producer. The soap aired its 14,000th episode in 2020 and was NBC’s longest-running drama series until 2022, when it moved to Peacock.
