EXCLUSIVE! Blake Berris On DAYS Return

By SOD • Posted: May 22, 2012

As first reported by Soap Opera Digest in the 5/21 issue, Blake Berris is back on DAYS as Nick Fallon. He reported to the set on May 17. "I was really lucky," the actor smiles. "I got to do some scenes right off the bat with Kristian [Alfonso, Hope], who I love. It was pretty easy to slip to back into the crazy rhythm of things at DAYS. It felt a little like déjà vu." Berris was last on DAYS in January 2009, when Nick was convicted of killing Trent Robbins. Since DAYS is taped so far in advance, he will first appear in mid-summer.

----

UPDATED with SOD article from June 11th issue

- Berris smiles and says that he really wanted to say something about his return, but he wasn't permitted to.

- His first scenes are with Hope, and then "he will cross paths with former crush Melanie". Berris says that there are many new faces at Days, and he's met Casey a few times. They're hoping to have scenes together. He says the first time he saw Casey on the monitor, he did a double-take because he thought they were playing back one of his scenes! He notes that their haircuts are similar. "We both thought, 'Hey, maybe the similarity is good.'"

- He's also been getting reacquainted with Suzanne Rogers and Deidre Hall, and he keeps in touch with Rachel Melvin. He says they're good friends and she's very excited that he's back on Days.

- He says that since Days, he's gotten to work in many different ways as an actor, and that he's looking forward to using that experience now on Days. He says his mother noted it's like going back to high school, but knowing what you know now.

- "When I see footage of stuff that I did early on at Days, I'm proud of the work. There is a youthfulness and a naivete watching myself. That's what is just so cool about having the opportunity to return to a character three years later, because I get to bring my life experience to the character now."

- His first appearance will be "mid-summer".

I'm glad he's back. I hope they write a decent story for him. Then again, I hope they write a decent story for everyone and considering what we have gotten lately...

I'm just glad he's back.

Interesting how his first scenes are with Hope. But then again, he may be just getting out of jail and maybe she's there to free him and welcome him back into the free world. I'm surprised to see Nick back but I'm more excited than I thought I would be. Blake is a good actor and Nick is a cool character. I hope he sticks around

I am really looking forward to seeing Nick again. I wish Chelsea was coming back as well as I loved that pairing/friendship. I was hoping he would be on longer but it seems like it is a short visit.

I will say I am a bit wary of what the writers have in store for him though.

Can't wait to see his scenes with Hope. If anyone understands what he went through it is her

I really, REALLY didn't like Nick. I hope they don't bring back Chelsea, cause I LOVE Max/Chelsea (probably the only one! LOL)

But I'll give him a chance. Blake is a great actor. Love Darin, but that Emmy should be Blake's. :shame:

I will be happy to see Blake again even if it is just a brief stay. I always loved quirky Nick Fallon.

Glad he is back, hope it is not just to usher Melanie out of Salem though.

Excited! I think its cool his first scenes are with Hope. I guess she releases him from jail. I'm sad to know that this is short term because I have a feeling he is going to rock this.

This is turning into the worst possible news ever, because it seems painfully obvious that he's just coming back to get Mel out of town :( stay Blake!!!! Stay!!!!!!

Great to see his first scenes are with Hope. Probably has to do with Nick getting out of jail, maybe? Although Nick should've gotten out of jail last January, since his sentencing was only two years.

As long as he disposes of Melanie...

It would make sense for him to be part of the Melanie exit storyline. I just hope that isn't the only reason he is in Salem. Even if it's for a short stint . He was involved in so many storylines before his departure. The fact that his first scenes are with Hope is a good start.

That's what I keep thinking. He went a little crazy over her, right? Very easy for him to snap and kill her. Which could push her current trueloveforever Chad straight to the darkside.

I would not mind Nick coming back to KILL Melanie though...that would be awesome...EJ should give him the Salem medal of honour if he gets THAT job done for all of us.

Maybe, Hopefully its simply a guaranteed short stint, but with options.. I mean look how awful it all is that they let go contract players less than a year after. This way they can keep him or just write an exit story if thats the plan.

I'm actually hoping that Nick DOESN'T kill Melanie. I don't want Nick to be any more vilified. Plus, I don't want to suffer through several months of "Salem mourns Melanie!" storylines. I'd prefer that Melanie just left town.

However, if Melanie does get killed off, maybe Gabi is the killer, but Gabi frames Nick for the crime. Then Abigail does some investigating and clears Nick's name. Gabi is sent to prison, and Chad leaves Salem to live off-screen with Mia.
