Saw this on Jason47's facebook page. If this is in Soap Opera Digest, I'd guess this might be upcoming stories and not casting news for whenever production resumes, but you'd think there'd have been news before this (and maybe there was and it was so long ago, I've forgotten...)

BRANDON BEEMER, MARTHA MADISON, OLIVIA ROSE KEEGAN RETURN; ADULT ALLIE HORTON ARRIVES...

The new issue of Soap Opera Digest has the summer preview for "Days." The issue confirms that Brandon Beemer (Shawn), Martha Madison (Belle) and Olivia Rose Keegan (Claire) will all be returning. In addition, the character of Allie Horton has been aged up and is now an adult. No word yet on who will be playing her.

Honestly, I haven't watched in like a week or two at this point, and this makes me even less interested. I don't have anything against Shawn coming back, and I don't have an issue specifically with Martha Madison per se, but I've never cared for her as Belle; and their Shawn and Belle are about as interesting as watching paint dry. AND I hate the idea of Claire coming back.

Then to add insult to injury, they're making Allie an adult? Pass. I'm so f-ing over SORAS. I'm sick of it. This is stupid.

Well from what I understand, it’s just short term visits again. I don’t think we’ll ever see Shawn, Belle and Claire on here full time again. It’s probably tied into Ciara’s wedding.

As for Allie, I wonder if they mean an 18 year old Allie? Also, I wonder if she’s returning with Sami?

This is Days, she'll probably come back solo with a chip on her shoulder; because "parent issues" and be a mini-Sami.

Although I do know Allison Sweeney had been back filming Days prior to quarantine, so Sami will no doubt show up at some point. Whether it's with Allie when she turns up, or shortly thereafter in response, who knows?

I mean, we know, at the very least, Allie isn't going to be any older than Will is, so worst-case scenario is she's mid-early 20's. I'm okay with that. They'll likely make her a Ciara/Claire contemporary, which is fair, Claire was born in '05, Ciara in '06, Allie in '07.

Shelle's return is short-term, but apparently according to spoilers Claire is sticking around, staying with John and Marlena. They seem to be doing a "Is she really cured? Or is she still crazy?" arc with her. Worth noting, if it helps, that apparently Lucas will be following Allie to Salem in the near future. And I'll take Lucas anyway I can get him.

That's good news about Lucas!!! I am fine with any of these returns. I like having Shawn and Belle around but they never give them anything to do.

Claire, meh...who else will she interact with aside from Ciara? There are no boys her age for her to date. SORAS'd Allie doesn't bother me too much because she's in that age slot with the other girls for sure.

Louise Sorel is also coming back at some point as Vivian.
