Days of Our Lives always takes the holiday seasons very seriously in Salem! May it be Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas. There are always some special episodes in store to give the viewers an extra dose of entertainment. As we know, Christmas is fast approaching, and that means it’s time for the annual tree trimming at the Horton’s. However, this time, fans will get to see a new face on the occasion. But don’t mistake him for an all new character!

According to the latest Days of Our Lives comings and goings, little Thomas Dimera has been recast. As per Soap Opera Digest, Henry Witcher will be playing Chad and Abigail’s son this Holiday season. However, it is only a temporary recast so fans of the OG Thomas – actor Cary Christopher, do not have to worry. Their beloved little kid will slide back into his role later again.

What’s Coming Up For Thomas and Chad on Days of Our Lives

But why this change, you may wonder! Well, Cary Christopher shared on his Facebook that he was down with flu for a while. That is why he wasn’t available for the filming of some of Days of Our Lives episodes. Which happened to be the festive season ones. Thankfully, the makers managed to find a wonderful little actor to fill Cary’s shoes in his absence. But that also tells us something very interesting!

If the makers did go through all the troubles of a recast, then it must be for an interesting storyline! We know Thomas is an inquisitive little kid on Days of Our Lives. And being smarter beyond his years makes him ask a lot of questions. Perhaps, he might end up stirring the pot this Christmas for Chad, Stephanie and Everett by his questions! The trio certainly is in a tricky place with all that is going on in their current storyline!

Although we wonder what little Thomas will bring to the surface on Days of Our Lives? Will it be trouble, or will he end up smoothing over something that is already messed? If you’d like to take a guess, then tell us in the comments. Meanwhile, stay tuned to Tech Radar for more Days of Our Lives updates, spoilers and cast news!

Dimitri and Leo are the newest love birds on Days of Our Lives that quickly rose the ladder of fame. Even though they are sure shot troublemakers, , as a couple they are so endearing that fans can’t help but low key root for them. In fact, the actor duo – Peter Porte and Greg Rikaart had been whole heartedly cheering for the on-screen couple they play. Unfortunately, it so appears that the romance has been cut short on the Peacock drama!

A source close to the production has confirmed that Peter Porte has already filmed his exit from Days of Our Lives. As we know, Dimitri has been sent off to max security prison on DOOL. This is perhaps the last we have seen of him. However, there is no word on whether this exit is only temporary on permanent. But considering the fact that they did not kill off the character, there is certainly hope for a return.

In fact, a few weeks ago, Peter Porte and Greg Rikaart spilled in an interview that there is lot to come for Leo and Dimitri on Days of Our Lives. So, we can hope that at some point Dimitri will return. Moreover, nothing is ever permanent on DOOL anyway. Not even death. That’s just Soap 101 ! Maybe a bunch of episodes down the line, Leo will find a way to get Dimitri out of prison. Or maybe, Megan will make a comeback to help her son! He did get her and Kristen out of prison. So perhaps mamma Devil will return the favor?

Will Peter Porte Return As Dimitri on Days of Our Lives?

When Peter Porte had first appeared as Dimitri on Days of Our Lives, he admitted that he was absolutely thrilled by it. He had donned the character on DOOL spinoff – Beyond Salem, and thought that was that. However, when the maker’s offered him a contract for the mothership, he was ecstatic. Thus, Dimitri lovers can cling to the hope that Peter wouldn’t dismiss the opportunity of a comeback at a later point.

The actor is often busy with other projects like holiday movies for the Hallmark Channel, but when the time comes we anticipate that he will make time for DOOL again! Until then all we can say is we will miss Dimitri on the screen. What about you? Tell us in the comments. Meanwhile, stay tuned to Tech Radar for more Days of Our Lives updates and news.
