Robert Scott Wilson

SoapsSpoilers alluded to the big changes for Robert Scott Wilson since he exited Days of our Lives recently, letting readers know that he was rumored to be returning to Days as Alexander Kiriakis and it’s been confirmed by TV Insider.

The actor did an interview about the transition from Ben Weston to Alex Kiriakis and a short clip of Wilson as Alex in a scene with Sonny (Zach Tinker) shows him at Victor’s manse.

They actor didn’t want to leave the show and after his run, he says, “I got a great phone call about five, six months ago about some changes coming. The long story short, I turned myself into Alex Kiriakis.”

Wilson’s having more fun than any other project he’s done. He’s the polar opposite of Ben Weston and his looks have changed a little. “Little bit more flashy,” the actor says, smiling from ear to ear. Watch the video for more!

Wilson first airs July 26.

Scott Crane

Viewers know how Days likes to have characters wearing masks to hide their true identities, so when we saw this cop in the May 10 episode, on the scene after TR Coates (William Christian) was killed by Lani (Sal Stowers), we wondered who he was.

It was only recently that we learned the actor was Scott Crane. He wore dark glasses and with his mustache, he appeared suspicious. It turns out he was just a cop! Check out his Instagram. Thank you Sara (@SaraCiuzio) for bringing this to our attention via Twitter!
