Wes Ramsey will reprise the role of Days of Our Lives‘ Owen Kent on February 27, 16 years after his last appearance on the soap.
For Ramsey, who also resurfaced last month on General Hospital as Peter August, neither return was on his radar, making the double comeback more surreal. “This is another glorious example of something coming up that is very unexpected,” he says. “Being asked to reprise a role that I played 16 years ago is something I’ve never done before. That’s the kind of thing that can happen in daytime, and it was absolutely a wonderful experience.”
