Patrick Muldoon & Christie Clark Returning to DAYS OF OUR LIVES

Patrick Muldoon (the original Austin Reed) and Christie Clark (Carrie Brady) will return to DAYS OF OUR LIVES in late September according to TV Guide Magazine. They start shooting next week.

Clark's last appearance was in 2010 when Carrie returned to Salem during the death watch for Alice Horton. Muldoon joined DAYS in 1992 and stayed until '95. Austin Peck played the role after Muldoon left.

Look for other former DAYS faves, including Deidre Hall (Marlena), Drake Hogestyn (John) and Matthew Ashford (Jack), to also rejoin the soap this summer. Hall tweeted earlier today: "I just taped a segment for the TV Guide channel. It airs Sunday at 7 PM. We can really talk after that!" Will this be her formal return announcement?
