Days Of Our Lives
Christopher Sean and Colton Little Return to Days of our Lives
Now coming to the mothership, look for Christopher Sean (Paul Norita) and Colton Little (Andrew Donovan) to reprise their roles on Peacock’s Days of our Lives.
As DAYS fans know, Sean and Little were first seen together during last summer’s Peacock limited series, Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem Chapter 2.
Christopher was previously with DAYS from 2014-2018, before returning for ‘Beyond Salem’. This will mark Colton’s first time on the main series.
Look for both actors to be back in action on Days of our Lives the week of March 13th.
Just how will their appearances tie into the returns of Peter Reckell (Bo), Kristian Alfonso, (Hope) Steve Burton (Harris) and Miranda Wilson (Megan) who will also all be on-screen and back in action this month? Make sure to check out all the upcoming episodes and find out.
So, glad to know that Christopher and Colton will make a return to DAYS? Comment below.
This is great news! Especially after losing sonny Allie and will. Christopher Sean is a great actor can’t wait to see him on days again!
This is good. I hope they are on contract, though. Seriously… to lose Will & nu-Sunny again is just upsetting. I hope the character of Leo is written off.
Having Paul Narita and Andrew Donovan back is an awesome idea. I want Leo out because I can see a rinse and repeat of him inserting himself into Paul and Andrew’s potential relationship. I can handle love triangles however, Leo has to go. Bye Felicia!
Welcome back Christopher and welcome Colton. Will and Sonny can hopefully return at some point. Zach Tinker has been killing it as Sonny. I hope he’s nominated for supporting actor.
I think the show wrote off Will and Sonny because Chandler Massey and Zach Tinker had other commitments and the show couldn’t have one of them onscreen while the other character was elsewhere.However i have a feeling we haven’t seen the last of Will and/or Sonny especially when the show deals with Victor’s death.As for the characters of Paul and Andrew, maybe Andrew is working for the ISA like his dad and a case brings him and Paul to Salem or other characters enlist Andrew and Paul’s help on a case.
I concur
Obviously they’re back to continue the story from “Beyond Salem 2”, which probably would have been “Beyond Salem 3”, had Days itself not moved to Peacock (Steve Burton pretty much said that was the original plan in recent interviews) .
Whether they will stick around long term is another story. Hell only knows that Salem’s LGBTQ community could use a little representation, with Will, Sonny, and Allie all suddenly exiled to New Zealand. Hell forbid that Leo Stark is the only one waving a rainbow flag.
That’s awesome! I love Christopher Sean and his character of Paul.
I liked the blooming chemistry between Colton Little & Christopher Sean during the second chapter of Beyond Salem, however, Ron Carlivati has a notorious history of writing cliché gay men, and it’s disappointing as he is part of the LGBTQ+ community. Plus, the musical chairs of LGBTQ+ characters is headache inducing.
What Scott (ATWT Fan) said!
Welcome back Christopher Sean! You’ve been missed. Colton welcome to the show. I’ll be tuning in for some Paul.
I am gay, but I find this show’s representation of gay people actually very very unrealistic and even offensive.
They would have everyone believe that of these 30 or so characters of inter-mingling family and friends … that many of them have gay children and grand children. That in itself is not true to life.
Like sunshine and roses, everyone is loving and accepting. No one bats an eyelash. It is all hugs and acceptance and love and tolerance. It is ludicrous.
Lets recap. John has a son who is gay. Sami and Lucas have a son and a daughter who are gay. Paulina has a daughter who is gay. Shane and Kimberly have a son who is gay.
Justin and Adrienne have a son who is gay. Chloe has a father who is gay.
That is an awfully small circle of friends and family. Its like the show is being “inclusive” just because it can. It does no one any favours to include such fairy tale type stories. It gives people a false impression of what being gay actually is.
Family and friends are NOT immediately accepting and embracing … At least not all of them. I found Erica Kane’s reaction on All My Children much more realistic. She was initially in denial and horrified. Only with time did she come around.
I loathe the character of Leo. He is a disgusting sexual predator and is not funny or amusing at all. However, I sadly find him to be the most realistically written gay character out of the plethora of gay characters on this show.
It is somewhat similar to some of the backlash that The Cosby Show faced. It featured a black family that was successful, rich, happy, well adjusted, and solved every problem with humour, love, and kindness. It was not realistic in the sense that it never really addressed any of the issues that face black families in America, thereby making the show feel as if it existed in a different universe or world even. Pardon the spin-off pun!
Sure, it was a comedy. But other shows tackled race issues in the framework of a sitcom. All in the Family, The Jefferson’s, Facts of Life, etc. Some of the best comedy comes from real life awkward situations … And so does some of the best drama!
I know Days is a soap opera. I know it is fantastic, over-the-top, campy, and not meant to be taken seriously. I guess in a universe where people come back from the dead every other week, we should also be expected to believe that every gay character is rich, happy, well adjusted, with accepting parents, siblings, and loving family and friends. That is just not the case.
When gay people say they want representation and inclusion in tv and film, we mean that we want it to be meaningful and important and not just throw away fluff. Unfortunately, for the most part, DAYS’ gays are just that.
The reality of being gay is much different from what this show presents. There is shame, guilt, fear, uncertainty, pain, strained family relations, depression, suicide, promiscuity, experimentation, drug and alcohol abuse, and so much more.
I am by no means saying that those things ALWAYS happen … But certainly more often that not. If you showed me a gay person like one on this show … Who came out with no problem, every family and friend was supportive, no sexual experimentation occurred, no substance abuse issues happened, no discrimination was faced, and they went directly into a committed monogamous relationship, I would show you a liar!
It would be nice to see a realistic portrayal of a gay person, but it will never happen on this show. My question is … if you are not going to include any truth in the gay stories or characters, why tell the stories at all?
This is like a Gay Fantasy League similar to Fantasy Football. Ron Carlivati has assembled his fantasy gay team of all beautiful, attractive, well adjusted, rich people that just does not happen in reality.
There is a lot of drama that could be mined from some true storytelling related to a gay person. And it is about quality over quantity. I would rather watch ONE well written gay character than watch 6 fanciful superficial ones with no substance.
Huh? Every single gay character you mentioned had some significant issues and pushback during their coming out stories. So. NO. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
And all gay characters have to live in angst and hatred for you to feel the character is ‘authentic’? No. Just no.
Leo is great. Period. Perhaps you have a bit of self loathing that you don’t want a portrayal of a witty, smart, yes – campy – gay character.
Just embrace the stories. Roll with it – and enjoy.
At one point Victor was thought to be Andrew’s father i think.So i’m wondering if maybe that could come out somehow now to Andrew and that could tap into the show’s history.
Days Of Our Lives
‘Days of our Lives’ Fall Preview Reveals Sofia Mattsson as Chloe Lane and New Storyline Twists!
On Monday, November 2 Peacock released Days of our Lives extended fall preview promo that always coincides with the series anniversary where this year it will turn 61 on November 8.
Within it, the long-running soap opera finally revealed that General Hospital alum Sofia Mattsson (ex-Sasha Gilmore) is playing a recast Chloe Lane, when in a sexy moment, nuChloe is seen with Brady (Eric Martsolf) saying, “I’ve missed you so much,” and the two share a passionate kiss!
Since DAYS confirmed Mattsson was hired by the show back in March of this year, up until now who she was playing was kept under wraps, but smart viewers were betting on a Chloe recast, or perhaps a very much alive, Abigail Deveraux.

A NEW CHLOE
Back in August of 2026, Nadia Bjorlin confirmed during a livestream interview on the Michael Fairman Channel alongside Kyle Pettis about their new film, Veronica and Julian that she was asked back to Days of our Lives to reprise the role of Chloe. However, she now lives in Ireland with her husband and children, and not in Los Angeles where DAYS tapes all-new episodes.
Bjorlin clarified why she turned down a return, “Logistically, it just didn’t make sense,” as well as it not making sense for her financially given the long distance and the budgets these days with the soaps.
In an emotional moment the actress shared that, “It hurt my heart to have to say no. So, I guess I can confirm that it will not be me playing Chloe if there’s a Chloe that comes back.”
The character of Chloe Lane first came on to the canvas back in 1999 and was played by Bjorlin for various runs up until 2023 when Chloe was once again written off the canvas.
THE STORY OF DOMINIC MARINO
In other stories this fall, front and center in the preview is the arrival of Dominic Marino played by Kyle Pryor who debuted on today’s Monday November 2 episode on Peacock.
Now the twists begin as if he will be proven to be the true biological son of Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) and Stefano DiMera, with the shocking ending where Marlena’s enemy, Orpheus (George DelHoyo) is back with some intel on the true story of Dominic and more!

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Also, things look like they are about to wrap up for Chanel (Raven Bowens) and Johnny (Carson Boatman) as she suggest they leave Salem. We know that Carson Boatman and Raven Bowens have been gone from the show since January of 2026 when they were left go. The timing would seem right that soon they will exit the show.
In addition, lives are on the line this fall as Xander (Paul Telfer) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey) reunite, only to have him in the middle of more danger, while Leo (Greg Rikaart) is in peril drawing Javi (Jacob Martinez) back into his feelings for his ex. Is this the turning point to reunite the two? Stay tuned.
