    There were probably better times to start recurring on Station 19 than during its final season, but we were still glad to see the familiar face (from Queer as Folk and Hacks) in action as first-responder-for-hire Dominic.

    On April 10, 2024, Days of Our Lives announced that “we’re seeing some newcomers in Salem” and shared a photo of two them. One was this alum of Apple TV+’s Nova Vita with Marci Miller (ex-Abigail). Who was Jimenez playing, though? The show wouldn’t say, although it seemed likely that she was going to be Camila Banus’ successor as Gabi. In the picture with Jimenez was another fresh face…

    This new arrival on Days of Our Lives previously appeared on such series as The Haves and the Have Nots and The Dead Girls Detective Agency. He was also one of the few good things about The Walking Dead: World Beyond. (He’s wearing his soldier-boy garb from that show above). The identity of his new character was also kept secret. Gabi’s brother, Dario, maybe? A re-recast Sonny?

    Or should we simply say “Not going after all”? Rumors of Bold & Beautiful baddie Sheila’s death were, as usual, exaggerated. Since that wasn’t her on the slab — the 10th toe was the giveaway for fiancé Deacon — it was only a matter of time before her portrayer was back in action.

    A recurring player on General Hospital since 2023, Cross made his first appearance as Detective Bennet in months in April 2024 so that the police academy instructor could question the wisdom of Anna inviting Mob flunky Dex to start playing for the cops’ team instead of the robbers’. Maybe next Bennet will get a first name?
