Peter Reckell (Bo Brady) will not be returning for this. The actor stated so himself on his Twitter account.
Alfonso told TVinsider, “My return is very bittersweet, because it is the end of an era with Bill gone. So to return to Days is very sad. I am appreciative that they came to me to include me in their series of shows honoring Doug and I’m very happy to see everyone, but I’m entering the studio with a heavy heart.”
This return will take place in December.
See you soon 💞 https://t.co/EyXAZS1JZp
