Salem, a town that never lacks drama, stands before a wave of intense speculation and longing for the return of dark forces that once stirred the lives of its residents. The biggest question haunting every corner is: Which villain possesses enough power and influence to return, shaking every order and plunging Salem into a new era of chaos?
The Strongest Demands Being Heard
One name prominently stands out with a strong demand for her return: Jan Spears. The haunting memory of her insane actions in the past, especially the scene where Jan welded Shawn into a cage, remains deeply etched in the minds of those who witnessed it. Her return promises to bring sick and unpredictable drama, pushing characters into life-or-death situations. Also on the list of villains desired to return, Vivian Alamain and her sidekick, Ivan, are names mentioned multiple times. Vivian is described as “so fun to watch”, and her comeback, along with her malicious yet amusing schemes, is sure to shake Salem once again. Furthermore, Rolf, with all the mayhem and insane experiments he brings, is also considered a factor that would stir things up.
It is impossible not to mention Sami Brady. Though once considered “one of the best”, her return would bring a storm of unpredictable troubles and family conflicts.
Shocking Rumor: Is Gwen on Her Way Back?
While speculation about old villains is rampant, there’s a particularly shocking piece of information circulating: “word has it Gwen‘s on her way soon!” If this proves true, the return of Gwen Rizczech would signal a new turbulent chapter for the complex relationships and secrets she carries. Her presence would undoubtedly stir up many lives in Salem.
Haunting Ghosts from the Past
Salem seems to crave the return of iconic villains from the DiMera family. Andre DiMera, a haunting name, is proposed to return, and the drama could double if he were still married to Kate. The return of a Tony DiMera after he “turned evil” is also a strong desire, with his quick wit and intelligence being praised. Even Peter DiMera and Stefan are mentioned, indicating a deep need for the complexity and threats from this nefarious family.
Among the names being called for a comeback, Eve Donovan also appears, promising unpredictable schemes and troubles. Celeste, with her psychic abilities and mystery, is also deemed necessary to bring a unique dimension to Salem’s drama. There are even speculations about whether Cat is working with the ISA or slipping with Shane, especially since Kimberly never comes back, opening up a potentially interesting storyline.
Other Voices and Expectations
While many desire the return of classic villains, there are also voices suggesting that Xander and EJ are currently enough to generate drama. However, the craving for novelty and shocks from old characters remains very strong. Interestingly, some comments even suggest bringing back less prominent but important background characters, like the DiMera and Kiriakis butlers and other house staff, to create a modern “Downton Abbey” kind of atmosphere.
An unconfirmed report also reveals hot news: Peter Reckell, the actor who plays Bo Brady, is reportedly eager to return to the show and has asked the writers to write him back in. “I hope he comes back,” one hopeful comment read. This would be an explosive piece of news, bringing immense joy to fans who have been devoted to this legendary character for decades.
The Fate of Old Loves
Besides the calls for villains, there are also voices expressing weariness with some old storylines. Specifically, the relationship between Belle and Shawn is said to have “broken up so much they bore me”, indicating that even beloved couples need fresh directions to keep viewers engaged.
Salem is buzzing with questions about its future. Will the producers and writers heed these calls and bring back shocks from the past, or will they continue with new directions? Only time will tell if these beloved villains will truly return to stir up Salem once again, or if these calls will remain merely echoes within the passionate community.
