‘Days’ Newbie Dan Gauthier Reflects on His Time on ‘One Life to Live,’ ‘Friends’ & More

Dan Gauthier will make his Days of Our Lives debut as Peter Blake on December 19, marking his return to the genre after 15 years.

Gauthier, who played One Life to Live‘s Kevin Buchanan from 2003-2010, welcomed the opportunity to return to daytime. “I knew a lot of the actors on the set, like [John-Paul] Lavoisier [Philip Kiriakis], and Stacy Haiduk [Kristen DiMera] is someone that I have known for years, so it was really fun to reconnect with those folks,” Gauthier says. “Everybody was so kind and accepting and welcoming. Everybody had a great attitude, and it was fun right away. I couldn’t ask for anything better, to be honest with you.”
