Days of our Lives Comings & Goings: Wes Ramsey returns to play Owen Kent

Days of our Lives has invited Wes Ramsey to reprise the role of Owen Kent, the role he first played on the show in 2009. Hmm...perhaps Jermey Horton isn't the one who's been stalking Stephanie, played by Abigail Klein.

Days of our Lives, Wes Ramsey returns

The newest issue of TV Guide Magazine, dated February 13 to March 15, reveals that Ramsey is back as DAYS's Owen on Friday, February 27.

Word of Ramsey going back to Salem was first teased last fall when he appeared in one of the many dynamic teaser preview videos that DAYS releases. Read Soap Central's story from last November about Ramsey's return here.

As veteran DAYS fans recall, Owen was caught in the war between the DiMera and Kiriakis clans. Ordered by EJ (then, James Scott; now, Dan Feuerriegel) to kidnap Stephanie (then, Shelley Hennig; now, Abigail Klein), Owen took Stephanie as his prisoner.

After keeping her captive, Owen began to develop feelings for Stephanie. He was eventually captured, but he escaped after the car he was being transferred in was hijacked!

Owen's return begs the question as to whether or not he could be behind Stephanie's recent stalking. Suspicious eyes have fallen on Jeremy Horton (Michael Roark), but perhaps he's innocent?

Stephanie (Abigail Klein) and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) recently tied the knot in a very intimate ceremony. They're keeping news of their wedded bliss under wraps because of the bride's stalker.

Hello, again

Ramsey says that being asked to come back to a role after 16 years is a first! He calls it a great gift, as it means that someone liked the creative decisions that he was making. Ramsey does not take this for granted.

Ramsey said it was a lifetime ago that he was last on DAYS, at least in terms of technology. He remembered seeing Alison Sweeney (ex-Sami) showing what Twitter (now, X) was on her smartphone.

Ramsey's also known to soap fans for his role as Peter August on General Hospital. He recently reprised that role as part of a fantasy/nightmare scene that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) had.

He also played the role of Sam Spencer on Guiding Light from 2000 to 2002. Sam was the brother of Olivia Spencer, played by Crystal Chappell, known to DAYS fans as Carly Manning.
