LAMON ARCHEY ON DAYS COMEBACK

With Abe mysteriously kidnapped, the timing was perfect for Lamon Archey’s return to DAYS as Eli Grant.

“Being that Eli is an FBI agent and a former Salem PD officer, he feels it wouldn’t be right to stick around Washington, D.C.,” says Archey. “Also, that’s his father-in-law. Eli has some free time, so he figures, ‘Why not come back to Salem and do whatever he can to help out?’ ”

The gig will keep the character in town “for about a month or so,” notes Archey. “Working-wise, I never really know when it’s going to be on TV, but I know I was there [filming] for a couple of weeks.”

The stint came about via a call from DAYS’s casting director, Marnie Saitta. “She contacted my manager and asked if I was free to come in and help out with the storyline they had going on,” recounts Archey, noting that it was an easy yes on his part. “I didn’t have anything going on at the time.”
