"Days of Our Lives" on NBC is set to welcome a new cast member for the daytime soap opera, with "Glee" alum Dot Marie Jones having booked a role, according to the latest news on comings and goings for the daytime soap. Meanwhile, Real Andrews is returning again on DOOL this week.
DAYS Books Dot Jones
ATN Entertainment has announced that "Days of Our Loves" has booked Dot Marie Jones for a role. Dot Marie Jones has confirmed via her Twitter page that she is going to appear as a guest cast for three episodes. DAYS films about six months before the airing date, so fans can expect her to appear later this year or early 2017.
Dot Jones is known for her role as Coach Shannon Beiste on "Glee." She also appeared in "The Faith Diaries" as Mickey and "Have You Met Miss Jones" as Miss Lolly. Other credits she is known for include "The Boondock Saints" (1999), "Patch Adams" (1998) and "Material Girls" (2006).
Real Andrews Returns to DOOL
Meanwhile, Real Andrews is confirmed to appear on "Days of Our Lives" on Friday, July 29. Andrews is back as Hal, the father of Jade (Paige Searcy). He first announced his return on DAYS in November 2015 via his Instagram page. "I am back. Thanks for all your support. Stay tune for details. Thank you Jesus," he wrote.
In February, Real Andrews tweeted about reading his DAYS script, saying, "Diamond (his dog) just read my new Days of our lives script. You won't believe it Best writing ever #dool #days #days50." The tweet was already deleted. It was then reported that he will be back on screen on May 12, according to Soaps.com. Spoilers from Celeb Dirty Laundry tease that Hal won't approve of the blooming relationship between his daughter, Jade, and Joey (James Lastovic).
Real Andrews is known for his roles in "All My Children" (Agent Trumbull), "As the World Turns" (Walker Daniels) and "General Hospital" (Marcus Taggert).
