Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall Returning to 'Days Of Our Lives!!!' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 06-03-2011, 07:22 PM

Soap opera shockers, both sad and super (as in couple)!

Days of Our Lives fan favorite Louise Sorel has been let go from the NBC susder, as has Crystal Chappell (Carly). Sorel reveals that while her contract is up on September 13, “that doesn’t mean I’ll work until then”; Chappell’s pact, meanwhile, peters out in August.

Check out Sorel’s full TV Guide Magazine Q&A for sobering insight into today’s soaps biz, as well as to spy the following savory nugget….

In surveying the circumstances of her ouster, Sorel let slip that Drake “The Eyebrow” Hogestyn and Deidre Hall are set to reprise their iconic roles as John and Marlena this summer, if not beyond. “Maybe I’m a financial trading card so the show can afford them,” Sorel (kinda?) joked. “Although I’ve been making almost nothing.”

No further details on the MarJohn comeback have yet been made available.

This is like the best news for us John and Marlena fans! I stopped watching the day they left and will watch again on the day they return! I knew it was just a matter of time before Deidre and Drake came back. The show needs them desperately. Thanks for sharing.

John and Marlena have always bored me.

I'll miss Vivian and Carly.

I agree---I missed them! Can't wait for them to return!!!

Is their return short-term, or are they in it for the long Hall, er, haul?

That was funny! I don't see the remaining soaps lasting much longer (a few years at most

), given the current climate. I think they will be on for the duration!

I see, thanks!!

It's old home week in Salem! Molly Burnett (Melanie) tweeted the awesome pic above, with a few of her "new" Days of Our Lives costars. Hmm, they sure look fantastically familiar! I tell you what, I cannot WAIT to see John (Drake Hogestyn), Jack (Matthew Ashford) and of course, the ravishing Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) back on my screen! September in Salem should be a month to remember!

Isn't Brian Datillo (as Lucas) supposed to be coming back also?
