Here are all the details on the prospects of John Black’s return to Days of Our Lives.

Will John Black return to Days of Our Lives?

At the time of this article’s composition, the producers behind Days of Our Lives haven’t confirmed John Black’s return to the show. Actor Drake Hogestyn portrayed John Black in the series, and he passed away on September 28, 2024, at age 70. However, recasting is quite common in the world of soap opera, so the possibility of John’s reappearance in the show can’t be ruled out.

In a recent episode of Days of Our Lives, Marlena Evans and Susan Banks are enjoying a quiet breakfast when the former receives a call from Shane Donovan. Marlena learns from Shane that John has been found. However, Marlena’s sense of relief is short-lived as Susan gets a premonition. She then warns the other woman about the immediate future. This scene potentially sets up John’s return, albeit played by a different actor. Alternatively, the producers may have decided to write the character off the show after the actor’s passing. The aforementioned scene can lead to the revelation that John has passed away off-screen.
