A Newcomer Shakes Up Salem

Tony DiMera: Real or Impostor?
In a shocking twist, Thaao Penghlis returns as Tony DiMera—but is it really him? Salem has seen its fair share of doppelgängers and deception, and fans are buzzing about whether this is the true Tony or a sinister impostor. His arrival could unite the fractured DiMera clan—or destroy it completely.
