Warner Bros. Animation is developing a new TV series adaptation of “Dark Shadows,” based on the classic gothic soap opera and the father of the modern-day vampire, Barnabas Collins.

In the three months since learning his contract would not be renewed after portraying Kevin Fisher for 14 years on CBS’ “The Young and the Restless,” actor Greg Rikaart is returning to the show just as his character’s storyline seemed to be winding down.

Tyler Christopher (ex-Nikolas Cassadine, “General Hospital”) is officially heading to NBC’s “Days of our Lives,” reports Entertainment Weekly. Christopher, who only began filming at the soap last week is expected to hit the screen sometime later this year, if not early 2018, due to the show’s advanced filming schedule.

UPDATE 08/03/2017: It’s now been confirmed that the actor has joined “DAYS.” His character’s name is being kept under wraps.
