‘Days of Our Lives’ Favorites Return for Deidre Hall’s 50th Anniversary Milestone
Christopher Sean and Colton Little return to Days of Our Lives on Peacock to honor Deidre Hall’s 50th anniversary as Dr. Marlena Evans in Salem.
It’s official: Christopher Sean and Colton Little are bringing back their beloved characters of Paul Narita and Andrew Donovan on the Peacock streaming soap opera Days of Our Lives next week!
The two beloved characters are returning to Salem in honor of Deidre Hall‘s 50th anniversary as Dr. Marlena Evans.
Last year, the characters made multiple appearances on the soap opera. From honoring Paul’s father, John Black, last summer after his portrayer, Drake Hogestyn, died in real life, to celebrating their wedding together, to assisting in various investigations.
The pair last appeared together in November 2025, in celebration of the soap’s 60th anniversary and the on-screen opening of the Dr. Tom Horton Free Clinic. When they returned, the couple discussed the possibility of starting a family together.
While very little is known about what brings the two back to Salem this time, or how long the two will be sticking around, the show assures fans can look forward to them interacting with family and friends once again.
Earlier this year, Little spoke with JLJ Media’s James Lott Jr., during which he addressed the idea of staying with the show long-term. “I would love to do a contract,” he said. “I would love to be in a show consistently.”
Outside of Days of Our Lives, Little has made appearances on A Biltmore Christmas, NCIS: Origins, and most recently, Marshals.
Sean, on the other hand, has done a lot of voice acting work across various series, such as Ultraman: Rising and Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune, as well as video games such as Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties.
Fans took to social media to share their excitement when news of the two returning broke. One fan wrote, “I wish Christopher and Colton could stay.” While a second user echoed the thoughts posting a Beyonce gif and adding, “Colton Little & Christopher Sean return. It’s only one day and probably 2 minutes but oh well.”
Days of Our Lives airs brand new episodes weekdays exclusively on Peacock.
