With Marlena and Steve headed to the ISA to get answers on what happened to John, it’s the perfect time for Shane to reappear on Days of Our Lives. And that’s exactly what’s going to happen as Charles Shaughnessy is reprising his role once again!
Viewers can expect to see Shane back on screen again on Monday, March 17, according to Soap Opera Digest, who is calling this visit a “short stint.” Hopefully, it’s at least going to be long enough for Shane to provide some answers to a worried Marlena and Steve.
Primetime viewers know Shaughnessy best for playing Maxwell Sheffield on The Nanny, but DAYS fans have loved him as super spy Shane Donovan, a role he has been playing since 1984. After his initial run on the NBC soap came to an end in 1992, he has returned for various visits in the years that have followed, his most recent being in September 2023 when Shane gave his daughter, Theresa, Victor’s briefcase which was recovered from the wreckage of his plane crash.
ABC soap fans will also recognize Shaughnessy from his 2021-23 run as the villainous Victor Cassadine on General Hospital — and seriously dedicated fans might even recognize him from his brief 1984 turn as Alistair Durban!
While this may only be a short visit, it’s only right that Shaughnessy be a part of the storyline that will say goodbye to John Black and his portrayer, the late Drake Hogestyn.
