This week, "Days of Our Lives" viewers will watch as Eileen Davidson returns to the sudser, via Soaps.com. However, she won't be stepping into Kristen DiMera's high-heeled shoes. Instead, she is playing the role of Thomas Banks. Thomas is the only brother of Susan Banks, and is actually not related to Kristen at all. Instead, he was revealed to be the troubled sibling of Kristen's lookalike Susan, who has recently returned to cause some chaos in the lives of the show's biggest characters. During the soap's spin-off series, "Beyond Salem," Thomas was seen nearing shooting and killing Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso), and now he's back to cause more trouble.

This time, Thomas will come face to face with Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) and Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) as they set out to find answers about the whereabouts of Stephanie's parents, Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Brady (Mary Beth Evans). Thomas will undoubtedly cause issues for Chad and Stephanie, as well as offer up some entertaining scenes for viewers to enjoy.

While it seems it's not in the cards for Davidson to return to the soap on a permanent basis, fans are happy whenever she and any of her characters return for a fun-filled storyline.
