Stephen Schnetzer Returns to Days of our Lives
Daytime favorite Stephen Schnetzer (ex-Cass Winthrop, Another World et al) is making his way to his old stomping ground and his original soap role of Steve Olson on Days of our Lives!
Schnetzer revealed the news during his appearance on The Locher Room sharing, “Breaking news … as far as I know, next week I’m flying out to LA. I hope I’m not giving anything up but they’ve asked Steve Olson to come back for a couple of episodes. I’ll say no more than that.”
Longtime DAYS viewers know that Steve Olson is the brother of Julie Olson Williams played by Susan Seaforth Hayes. For those who need a history refresher on the family tree – Steve, is the son of Addie Horton and her first husband, Ben Olson, and was originally played by Schnetzer from 1978-80.

Recalling his soap start in Salem, Schnetzer added, “The great Wes Kenney, who was the executive producer on DAYS hired me in… 77-ish and had me come on as Julie’s brother.” Stephen remarked how in his humble beginnings from theatre to TV that Bill and Susan Hayes were the two people who helped him when he first started on the soaps, adding, “Bill and Susan were extremely kind.”

Discussing the passing of the DAYS legend at 98-years-old, Schnetzer added, “Bill had a great run. I love that he and Susan have been on the show all this time.”
It would seem that Stephen is coming back to the series to appear in episodes that will revolve around Julie losing the love of her life, and how the longtime soap opera decides to write-off the character of Doug. Since DAYS tapes well ahead of its streaming episodes, look for Schnetzer to appear sometime in October.

Looking forward to seeing Stephen return to DAYS as Julie’s brother Steve Olson, even if it is for a very somber occasion? Let us know in the comment section.
Definitely looking forward to his return He was also amazing on another world as Cass Winthrop
Another World was my favorite. Great cast and wonderful characters. Damn I missed the 80s and 90s.
Anytime I get to see someone from Another World show up anywhere, I’m s happy camper. Still miss that soap!
Fuzzy Devil Memory barely remembers him being on Days. That was a long time ago, but obviously he’ll be coming back to see his long lost sister when Doug dies.
We never got Another World officially down here in Hell, but I saw bits and pieces of it over the years, and I remember Cass Winthrop.
Oddly enough he turned up on the Showtime series “Homeland” a few years back… in character as Cass Winthrop! Still don’t know how in Hell’s name they pulled that off. Or how many viewers of that show even got the reference.
it’s about time, a very welcome, long overdue return
Love Cassanova, Dear Cass and now back as Steve Olsen. DOOL and AW my go to Soaps. Never watched the soap that was put in AW’s time slot, don’t even know the name!
This makes me absolutely giddy! I especially love Stephen as Cass Winthrop, on Another World, but I look forward to seeing him back at Days.
Yes i am looking forward to see Steven back on the show even if its for a short time
As I mentioned on a previous post, I’m hoping Denise Alexander as Susan Martin returns for this somber occasion. Now it could also be a mini reunion between Cass Winthrop and his mother-in-law, Mary McKinnon, from “Another World” if Alexander does return.
Denise is 84 and last appearance on GH was in 2021. There’s been plenty of storylines where they could’ve had her pop in since (her great grandson’s or longtime friend (Bobbie) passing. Hoping she’s doing fine, but screen appearances may not be in the cards.
I guess it’s theoretically possible, but it’s been a while since she’s turned up on General Hospital, and her role there was probably more significant to the show’s history than her years on Days or Another World. She’s 84 now, so nobody could blame her if she retired completely from acting.
I know Denise Alexander is retired and wish her the best. I was simply thinking of something like a cameo appearance because of Susan Martin’s history with Doug and Julie.
The one I always wanted to see return for a cameo was Robert LeClair. Of course it’s not possible now since Robert Clary died a year or two ago. But Robert was a good friend of Doug and Julie’s (and apparently of Bill and Susan’s too, judging by the lovely tribute they posted about him when he passed away).
He’s so adorable

Serena Scott Thomas to Days of our Lives, But What Role Will She Play?
Look who’s coming to Salem next? In a tease on their official Instagram account, Days of our Lives has revealed that Serena Scott Thomas has been on set and will debut in an upcoming role, leaving many fans guessing just who might she play.
The English actress and documentary producer has previously starred in Diana, Her Story as Diane Prince of Wales, Dr. Molly Warmflash in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and played the villainess ‘Watcher” in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and Bruce Willis’ wife in the film, Hostages among others.
Serena is the younger sister of Kristen Scott Thomas, best known for her Oscar-nominated role in The English Patient. Several DAYS fans are already weighing in that Serena will play Konstantine’s (John Kaeplos) wife.

However, NannyKat 63 may have it all figured out the best, when she posted, that not only will “Serena play Kostantine’s wife,” but the character “had an affair with Victor Kiriakis and got pregnant.” Thus, making Xander (Paul Telfer) her son. She went on to theorize, “Perhaps, And John and Steve will find her in the nick of time… and she’ll enter in time to stop the wedding of Maggie to him. Xander will find out his true identity then. The baby was given to Victor’s brother to be raised in Scotland.”

Sounds plausible to us! Another guess came from donnamoore_23 who said, “Ya’ll think he could be Bobberette ‘s mom or sister or .. SOMETHING to do with his story .. someone who can back up what trauma he went through to be so sick? 🤷🏼♀️ but I think y’all are right could be Katerina.”

Two DAYS stars, Tamara Braun (Ava) and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah) also shared comments on Serena Scott Thomas’ upcoming appearance on DAYS. Godfrey simply said, “YES!!!! while Braun add her guess, expressing, “Ava’s mum. Oh wait, her mom was killed by her dad. Or was she? 🤔”
So, what do you think? What role will Serena Scott Thomas play on Days of our Lives? Share your theories in the comment section below.
