Trailer and Spoilers for Beyond Salem 2 With Kristian Alfonso & Peter Reckell Boast Excitement and Big Reveals

Two fan favorites back for a special!

Days of our Lives viewers never thought we’d see the day that Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady) and Peter Reckell (Bo Brady) would return to Days, even in a small capacity such as Beyond Salem. Both actors stated they wouldn’t return. It looks as though that ship hasn’t sailed and that July will bring another five-episode run from July 11-15 on Peacock.

Familiar faces

Other familiar faces to be seen in this short series include Lucas Adams (Tripp Dalton), Camila Banus (Gabi Hernandez), Mary Beth Evans (Dr. Kayla Johnson), Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans), Remington Hoffman (Li Shin), Drake Hogestyn (John Black), Victoria Konefal (Ciara Brady Weston), Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson) and Robert Scott Wilson (Ben Weston).

In addition, Abigail Klein will be seen as a recast of Stephanie Johnson, a role originated by Shelley Hennig. Eileen Davidson returns in the role as Kristen DiMera and her real-life husband, Vince Van Patten (ex-Christian Y&R) will portray Phil Hellworth.

Meanwhile, Loretta Devine is Angela, and Christopher Sean is back as Paul Narita. Three newcomers are added to the roster in  Colton Little as Shane and Kimberly’s son Andrew Donovan, Tanner Stine as Stephanie’s brother Joey Johnson, and Victoria Grace is Wendy Shin.

The last name on the roster came out April 29. Steve Burton (Jason Morgan) will be joining Beyond Salem. This comes as a surprise to many, since Burton left General Hospital in 2021 after refusing to adhere to the vaccine mandate.

There has been no information regarding whether or not the actor has been vaccinated or if it is mandated at Days of Our Lives yet.
