His eldest son was believed to be dead and the only heir he knew he still had was Chad (Billy Flynn),l but Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) will be in for a major shock when Andre (Thaao Penghlis) suddenly arrives in Salem on Days of Our Lives.

The Necktie Killer's Identity Is Revealed

 He was presumed dead for at least the fourth time a few years back after he turned off his own life support in the hospital and doctors couldn't revive him-but once again he will prove to be a master of manipulation when he arrives at his sick father's bedside for the first time in years, claiming he wants to help the ailing man.

His return to Salem however may not be so well-received by others in the town however, as his history there has proven to be one filled with endless strife between the DiMera and Brady families-and usually his pairing up with Stefano means some great evil will unfold in the town as well. Considering Stefano is caught up in whatever is happening that keeps Aiden (Daniel Cosgrove) with Hope (Kristian Alfonso), and he was pushing extremely hard to get the land Abigail (Kate Mansi) is set to inherit-Andre returning could potentially mean the two will go to extremes to keep existing schemes in motion-and to start new ones as well.

The Killer Targets Marlena

However, Andre's devious ways could also prove to be beneficial to his family, as Chad continues hiding out while the cops search for him in connection to Serena and Paige's murders, and the attempt on Marlena's (Deirdre Evans) life. Chad has been framed to be the culprit and is hiding at Horton cabin in the hopes he can eventually prove his innocence. However, if Andre is trying to prove himself to be a better person now, he could try and help his sole remaining sibling-using his less conventional methods to figure out the truth behind the Necktie murders.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
