Thaao Penghlis (Tony DiMera) has returned to his old stomping grounds for a third time.
According to online chatter, the show has managed to twist history to explain how Tony survived his gunshot wound -- he wasn't really shot. Penghlis reveals that during his final scenes, Tony was seen smoking a cigarette -- something that character never did.
Talk of Penghlis' return to Days of our Lives first popped up in March. At the time, some imaginative fans thought that the actor would play Chloe's biological father.
Penghlis amkes his first return appearance on June 21st.
