Charles Shaughnessy will reprise his role as Shane Donovan on the long-running NBC soap opera, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

Shaughnessy played the ISA agent from 1984 to 1992 on Days, reprising his role in 2002 and again in 2010 with multi-episode arcs. He's scheduled to first appear during the May 2 episode when he returns to Salem to investigate a case for the ISA.

News of the actor's return to Days comes mere weeks before Lisa Rinna will reprise her role as Billie Reed on the NBC daytime staple. Rinna's return is scheduled for March 8.

Shaughnessy's credits include The Nanny and its spinoff, Life With Fran, as well as a stint on AMC's Mad Men. He's repped by Stone Manners and Affirmative Entertainment.

If they put him with Rafe again, gah! Probably with John and whatever he's doing. And when will Days start cutting actors? Bren Foster was barely on so he doesn't count. Thanks.

Oh girls, this is like a wet dream come true! When I first saw and heard EJ while watching one day with my mom, I immediately assumed he must be the son of Shane but mom said nope...he was Stefano's. Ever since then I've had a little fantasy that Shane was really his daddy. Now, with EJ's paternity in question...OMG!!! Now, I seriously DOUBT they will go there but if they did somehow manage to pull that one off...this is a change of paternity that I could deal with. Ok, shoot...I'd flippin' love it!

Now, DGMW...I don't want EJ to change. Stefano has still been his daddy for all these years and he's got to remain loyal to that. It just makes it so much more interesting if his daddy turns out to be the enemy and one of many people trying to bring him down. I'd believe Shane showing a softer side to EJ than I would EJ accepting him as his father. Could make for some very interesting stuff.

The only thing that makes me a bit sad is knowing Patsy (Kimberly) has moved back to SC, so I don't expect they even asked her to join him. Hopefully, they'll at least write in that Kim and Shane are working on their relationship. And who knows? It took 18 years to have them back on the show together, so never say never.

You're right. It's probably related to the Jawn thing. Crap. Now I'll have to actually pay attention to that dead-end story.

Blog from Charles Shaughnessy as he returns to DAYS OF OUR LIVES as Shane Donovan!



Hi all! Well, I guess the Salem cat has jumped out of his bag!! Yes, it is true : Days of Our Lives has asked Shane to return for a twelve episode arc to help in the ruination of Stefano Di Mera....for the umpteenth time!!!


I have been back a couple of times since I first left in 1991, but this has been the most fun. It was like walking into a wormhole or time warp when I rehearsed my first scene. The old gang was there doing the same stuff and saying the same dialogue as if it were the very next day. Shane and Roman helping Bo, Hope, Marlena and John Black "bring down " Stefano Di Mera.


Everyone seemed happy to see me and I was giddy to see all of them. The strangest thing is that they all looked EXACTLY the same!! I know that there are miracles available through all kinds of surgery, but I could find no trace of them. Either they have some radical genius hidden away in the bowels of Burbank or they take VERY good care of themselves. It was kind of creepy actually. Each one of them must have a picture somewhere that is graying and aging in their place!


We had a lot of laughs and a lot of fond reminiscences, although we couldn't spend too long going down memory lane as the pace of the work is INSANE!! I always thought it was ridiculous how we taped a whole one-hour show in a day: now, they tape about a day and a half and are always "out" by 6:00 p.m. !! Today's Soap actors have to be one hundred percent "on their game" from the minute they walk onto the set. Trust me, they earn every penny of their paycheck. You walk in, the director runs quickly through the "blocking" ( where you should move, the "action" required in the scene,) you do it once for practice and cameras and then....ACTION! you're doing it for real. Talk about "shot out of a cannon!" All the dialogue has to be learnt before you wake up that day and, as many of them are in many days a week, they must learn it in their sleep. But...this crazy speed makes for an exciting and adrenaline-pumped ride.


I can't give any of the story away, but I think all you original fans are going to get a big kick out of this story. The only sad thing is that Patsy was not back. I do reference her in one line and mention that Kimberly "allowed" Shane to return for this mission as it was so important to him, but she is not there in person. Budgets are very tight and the storyline was specifically about Bo, Hope etc. and the ISA, so I guess they didn't see any need to ask her back as well.


My episodes start airing in May and will continue for about two weeks, so set the VCR or DVR or take some time off work, 'cos Shane is back in town!!!


Best. . . Charlie

Awe, can't wait for Shane. I'm still crossing my fingers that since Kirsten Storms doesn't seem to be returning to GH, at least for the foreseeable future, that she would come back to Days and get Jason Cook to join her. If they can't get Chloe&Philip back, I'll take Classic Shelle. I loved them so much back in the day.
