Watch for the returns of Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley, as, respectively, Tony and Anna, on Friday, November 6, and Monday, November 9.

Pryor is no stranger to the soap opera scene. His credits include playing Nate Cooper on Home & Away and Laurie Shelby on Hollyoaks.

The actor hails from Surrey, England. He's also worked as a stuntman on numerous films, including Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. As a youngster, he studied Taekwondo, and he competed in various national competitions.

All Her Children

Marlena's had many children on DAYS. Veteran fans recall that her first child (barring any rewrites!) was DJ (Don Jr.), her son with Don Craig (the late Jed Allan). Tragically, DJ died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Losing DJ put a strain on Marlena and Don's marriage. He drifted into an affair with Liz Craig (Gloria Loring), ending the union.

Later, Marlena became pals with both Don and Liz. Next, Marlena had twins -- Samantha "Sami" Gene and Eric, played respectively by Alison Sweeney and Greg Vaughan, who were fathered by Roman (the late Wayne Northrop originated the role; now he's played by Josh Taylor).

Next, Marlena gave birth to Belle (Martha Madison) because she had an affair with John Black (the late, great Drake Hogestyn). Sami kidnapped Belle as an infant, as she saw her as a threat to her parents' marriage. Belle was returned to Marlena at a Christmas service at the church in Salem.

Marlena has been a stepmother to Brady Black (Eric Martsolf), as she was married to John, and Brady never knew his birth mother, Isabella (Staci Greason), who died several months after Brady's birth.
