There's no official word yet, but Stephen Nichols (ex-Stefan Cassadine, General Hospital) could very well be returning to Days of our Lives.
Nichols left General Hospital on January 16th after a five-and-a-half-year run on the show. Nichols explained that he left the show because he felt his character was "not being utilized."
It had been rumored that Nichols might join the cast of CBS's As The World Turns. Nichols' former co-star, Mary Beth Evans (ex-Kayla Brady; ex Katherine Bell, General Hospital). Evans currently plays the recurring role of Sierra Montgomery on ATWT.
Now that he's out of daytime - at least for now - Nichols has been actively seeking other television, stage and film projects.
