Days of our Lives sees there is growing speculation about the potential return of the iconic character Stefano DiMera, previously played by the late Joseph Mascolo. The queen of the night dreams haunting Marlena Evans, played by Deidre Hall, are a major hint of a possible return of the Phoenix. In addition, the Arabian Knights book, previously used for mind control by Stefano, has been spotted, and there is increased attention on Stefano's portrait at the mansion on the NBC Peacock soap opera.

DOOL sees Stefano's essence was once implanted into Steve Johnson, portrayed by Stephen Nichols, as a part of an intriguing storyline. The recent dreams of Marlena Evans and the focus on Stefano's portrait suggest a similar plan could be in the works. Dr. Wilhelm Rolf, played by Richard Wharton, previously attempted to bring Stefano back using Steve Johnson as a vessel. Given his history, it is plausible that Dr. Rolf could be working on another plan to resurrect Stefano.

Days of our Lives also hints at the possible return of Stefan DiMera, Stefano's son with Vivian Alamain, currently played by Louise Sorel. Stefan's absence in Alamania, where he was presumed to be, raises questions about his whereabouts. Other potential characters who could be turned into Stefano include Gwen Rizczech's missing husband Dimitri von Leuschner DiMera, played by Peter Porte, and Tony DiMera, portrayed by Thaao Penghlis.

This episode was hosted by Belynda Gates-Turner for the #1 Soap Opera Channel, Soap Dirt.
