Listening to the latest updates on Days of Our Lives always brings some unexpected twists and turns. Soap Dirt recently confirmed that Eric Brady will be returning to Salem during the first week of September. Fans have been anxiously waiting for his return, especially with the uncertainty surrounding his departure. Greg Vaughan had left alongside Arianne Zucker, sparking speculation about their characters' ultimate fate.
Eric’s return raises numerous questions, particularly about Nicole Walker and their son, Jude Brady. Nicole and Jude had moved to Paris for Eric's new job shortly before the characters exited, which conveniently aligned with Arianne Zucker's departure from the show due to backstage harassment allegations. However, with Nicole not expected to return, it leaves fans wondering how Eric’s storyline will unfold without her presence.
The immediate reason for Eric’s return seems to be connected to his stepbrother, Brady Black. Brady finds himself in legal trouble after Sarah Horton's hit-and-run incident. While Brady is not responsible, he confesses to the crime. Eric’s return could be a catalyst for uncovering the truth behind Sarah's accident and helping Brady navigate this crisis. Given Eric's own tumultuous history with alcohol and loss, it’s likely that he will play a crucial role in supporting Brady and getting to the bottom of the incident.
Meanwhile, the show's narrative is also bringing back other characters and unveiling new mysteries. Jonah Robinson is returning as Dr. Mark Green, who seems to be running a con involving fake Abby to get revenge on Chad DiMera. The reasons behind this scheme haven’t been fully revealed, but it’s definitely adding a thrilling element to the story. Fans are eager to see how this plot will resolve and whether it might lead to a real Abby resurrection.
Other characters making their way back include Carrie Christopher as Thomas DiMera and Kennedy Garcia, who will be interacting with the fake Abby. The narrative complexities continue to deepen, as Kristen’s manipulations make Chad question whether the revived Abby is genuine.
Additionally, there will be appearances from Kyle Lowder as Rex Brady, Alison Sweeney as Sami Brady, and possibly a return of Philip Kiriakis to address family matters. Fans can expect more drama as these familiar faces stir up the fabric of Salem with their own stories and connections.
As these storylines develop, viewers are left with plenty to ponder. Will Eric stay in Salem long-term, even without Nicole and Jude? How will the hit-and-run case involving Brady resolve, and what repercussions will there be for other characters? These updates and more keep Days of Our Lives fans glued to their screens, eagerly awaiting each new twist in this ever-evolving saga.
